Nico had Emelia over again for a variety of reasons. One being she knew he had ice cream, two being she wanted to do some 'research' on his social media. She skimmed through his phone, uninterested in everything. That was until she spied the 89 notifications from FaceBook. She opened it without Nico knowing and began her 'research'. Nico was busy attacking a noodle Emelia had managed to get stuck to the ceiling when she tried cooking earlier. If Nico was honest, he probably should have banned her from the kitchen.

Emelia continued to click on various people Nico followed, she clicked left and right, being very thorough. When Nico shuffled into the living room and plopped onto Emelia's legs she ignored him. Nico sat there for a bit before catching her off guard and snatching the phone away from her.

"What could be more important than me?" He asked out loud.

Nico skimmed through the screen before realizing what Emelia was doing. He looked at her then back at the phone a couple of times before handing it back. He watched as she dissected each page. He was mildly interested too since he hadn't really checked out any pages. Emelia stopped on Annabeth's page.

"Huh, married and has a kid." She commented. "Cool." She said.

She stayed on Annabeth's page for a while then went to Will's. Seemingly targeting the blondes pages first. First, it was Carmen, Jason, then Annabeth and now Will.

"Freckles," She said. " A lot of them." She said as she skimmed the picture of Will mid-air, jumping into a lake.

Nico remembered the photo from when Naomi sent it to him over messages. It was during the summer, she invited Nico but he politely declined since he was still undergoing personal things. Emelia exited his page and went on to Pipers. She skipped her bio and went straight towards the pictures. The most recent was with Piper and Jason, they were laughing and it was at a hangout. Nico studied it before realizing this was the day he came to the house warming. He snatched the phone away so she couldn't see him in the background.

Emelia groaned. "What is it with you and snatching phones?" She asked before taking it back.

Nico wailed and waited for Emelia to see it.

"Oh my god, Nico is that you?" She snorted.

Nico was in the far back on a chair looking as if he was brooding in his black hoodie over his head. He looked upset because he was tired, and mildly irritated from being in the cold. Nico sighed and nodded in defeat. Emelia read out the caption.

"Nico, the angry boy in the back." Emelia snorted again.

"Such nice friends." She commented.

Nico took the phones away and laughed. "I think we've done enough 'researching' today." He said putting his phone aside.

Emelia whined but Nico ignored her complaints. He went into his bedroom and flopped on the bed. He laid there for a moment, deep in thought before he felt like his bones being crushed.

"Emelia get off of me, your not light!" He complained.

Reluctantly, she rolled off and Nico turned his head to look at her. She was wearing a devilish grin. Nico looked at her quizzically but she didn't let on. She started rambling about how tomorrow was Monday and that meant things would turn to shit. Nico simply asked her if she ever considered Monday's feelings but she just snorted. Emelia rolled off of the bed accidentally with a thud and laid there spaced out.

"Ouch." She said moments later.

"You have the latest reactions sometimes," Nico noted as he peered over the bed to see a sprawled out Emelia.

Emelia sat up and looked at Nico with intensity in her eyes, she seemed to be thinking about something.

"Neeks?" She asked and Nico hummed in response. "You know how normally at wedding girls have a Maid of Honor?" She asked tilting her head to the side.

Nico nodded and waited for her to continue.

"I feel like at my wedding I'd have a Best Man. I don't have friends that are girls that I would pick." Nico looked at her in confusion. "It would be you silly." She said with a smile.

"Oh," He said in realization.

Nico rolled off the bed and landed next to Emelia, he hugged her as tight as he could. Emelia smiled and hugged him back just as tightly. It was a well-known fact Nico wasn't very good with communicating his feeling through words but to Emelia, it didn't matter, actions spoke louder than words to her. They stayed like that for a moment and Emelia leaned her back against the wall. Nico laid his head on her lap and she lazily played with his hair.

"I wonder if fish can see water..." She commented out of the blue.

"Shhh," Nico said almost in a chuckle. "Don't ruin the moment."

Both of them started giggling. Sometimes it was just normal for them to act high while being extremely sober.

It was around 7 pm and they were sprawled out in weird positions, bored with nothing to do. Nico and Emelia had switched phones because at the moment it seemed like a good idea. Emelia was doing 'research' and Nico was doing his as well. So far he had managed to find 8 nail design videos and 10 new follower notifications on Emelia's Instagram. He also managed to 'research' the girl Jina was hooking up with and like he thought, she certainly wasn't as good Emelia. Only Nico knows how he knew who and what to look for. As for Emelia, she had managed to dig up old text messages and some potential 'tea'. Apparently, Nico was in a group chat a while ago where Jason and Piper had a text message argument about what was Nico's 'type'. They both failed miserably and it left Emelia wondering for herself as she scrolled through other messages. Half an hour later they switched back phones, Emelia flipped her yellow hair dramatically.

"People wish they could reach our level of trust." She said even more dramatically and Nico chuckled.

"I'm not sure if I even trust you around my FaceBook alone." He joked and Emelia returned a grin.

"What did you find?" Emelia asked.

"Your nail videos, new followers and stuff on Instagram," he said. "And that girl Jina took interest in, leaves me wondering why she went for her, your everything anyone could wish for." Nico said smiling.

"Thanks, I needed that." She said confidence in her smile. "I found you like Naomi's cooking, and an argument between Jason in Piper in a group chat about what your type is."

Nico chuckled. "And?"

"They don't know and I realized I don't know either."

"Oh, that's a mystery we'll all have to figure out."

Emelia looked at him curiously and said no more.

They had each other's fingerprints in the others phone for reasons they could not name, but it sure made things easier. It was just easy access. Nico was always very private about everything in his life, his emotions, his conversations, his family, but Emelia was an exception. The only one in fact. He did talk to Will and open up to him but they weren't as tight as him and Emelia. It was just different for him and Will, they hadn't shared many experiences together and they didn't talk daily.

"Bitch, I'm hungry," Emelia complained. "Can I make something?" She asked.

"No," Nico said immediately. "You almost burnt my kitchen down, you got noodles stuck to my ceiling, which I don't know how, and you botched boiling water." He said giving her enough reason not to.

"How the fuck do you mess up boiling water?" He asked.

"I don't fucking know!" She complained. "I think I just have a case of natural cooking disaster." Nico nodded his head in agreement.

It was decided that Nico make the dinner, he made a salad and tacos. They sat and had a peaceful meal and watched 'Carmen Sandiego' on the couch. They were practically falling asleep when Nico got a call from Naomi.

"Hello?" Naomi asked from the other end.

"Hi, Naomi." Nico greeted her.

"I was just wondering, I'm planning on making my good homemade Texas Burgers." She prompted. "And I was just going to ask if you wanted to come down here and try them." She said.

"Sure," Nico replied.

"Will came back for a visit yesterday and Kayla already misses you." She rambled. "She came to visit with Will specifically because she knew she would see you."

"Yeah, sure. I'd love to come." Nico smiled and looked at Emelia who was looking back at him with a curious look.

"Do you mind if I bring Emelia with me?" Nico asked.

Naomi was familiar with Emelia, they talked once when she came over to visit away from Texas. They got along well and thank god because Emelia did not get along with many people sometimes.

"Yes, of course, you can honey." She said and Nico smiled.

Emelia probably heard it too because she smiled as well.

"Oh! Well, I don't want to waste your time, I was just wondering if you wanted to stop by." She chimed.

They discussed the details briefly and they said goodbye.

Nico really loved Naomi, she was absolutely amazing.

"WE'RE GOING TO TEXAS!" Emelia cheered and Nico cheered along with her.

This was going to be a fun trip. Naomi sent them the details, they would be leaving in 3 days. She sent them both the address in the group chat Nico had made. Emelia went home to pack because she liked being prepared before hand and Nico did the same as well. Packing three days early because why not.
