The Present is Worth it
DECEMBER 20th
Nico couldn't help it. He missed his sister.
He still hated how she'd deserted him, especially when he needer her the most. But she was dead and there was no way around that.
So he cried to himself. Because no one would understand. No one ever did. He was alone in the world with no one but his stupid father and his half mother who could never understand. He was so alone.
Sitting as he was in the underworld, against a tree not too far from the palace, he wondered if he could find his sister in Elysium. But then he remembered what his father had said in one of his latest fights. She'd decided on rebirth. She was no longer there, but as some other person on Earth. He hated it, his cries deepening into a moan of anguish. Why?
He hated his life and knew everything bad that had happened was his fault. He wasn't good enough. His sister should have lived instead of him.
He made plans that day. In his head. He thought hard about it. He tried doing them. He failed, because that's what he is. A failure.
He cried hoping to be reunited with his sister. Hoping for a better life.
Now a few years later he was what could be classed as happy. He no longer mourned over his sister or wished to die. Or at least if he ever got close to, he had his boyfriend next to him reminding him how much he was loved and how it would be worth it. Because he was strong enough and brave enough to make it through.
He was so thankful that he now had a family. Percy, Will, Jason, Hazel, Annabeth, Piper. They were all his family now.
Nico looked over at Will, who's lap he sat on. Will caught his eyes and leaned in to kiss him, their mouths fitting together like a lock and key. They were made for each other and Nico didn't know what he'd do without him.
He wasn't alone.
