Prompt 1: Can you do one where Nico meets Anubis's family (isis osiris set and nephthys)
Prompt 2: I would like to read one where it's the other way around and Anubis is introducing Nico to somebody that he considers a parents or uncle aurant of some sort. And worries about how they will react.
Anubis gnawed at his lower lip.
This was it. This was the day he was finally going to introduce Nico to his family, or those he considered as family. He was a bit worried. Okay, maybe more than a bit. But it wasn't his fault his family was a little dysfunctional – they were a group of gods after all.
Nico seemed calm enough, even as he was introduced to Isis and Osiris.
Anubis wasn't really worried about either of them. Knowing Isis, she would most likely treat Nico like her son, something she often did with teens. Nico was no different apparently, and she gushed over him the moment she met him.
"Oh, Anubis. He is a spitting image of you, even down to the sickly pale skin," she said. Isis was like that sometimes, spouting things that could be interpreted as hurtful, but were really just jests.
"Thank you," Nico had said, not missing a beat. "We met at a doppelganger event." He sounded so deadpan that Osiris glanced over in surprise. Isis started laughing immediately.
"He does look like you, but he is much funnier, Anubis," she said, ruffling Nico's hair.
Anubis scowled, "I can be funny when I feel like it."
Isis shook her head, "See, if you really were funny you wouldn't have protected yourself like that."
Osiris lifted his hand, "Let the boy be, Isis." He ushered Nico forward, "I am Osiris, it is a pleasure to meet you."
Nico bowed respectfully, "I am Nico di Angelo. The pleasure is all mine."
Anubis smiled, Nico was used to treating his own father, Hades, this way. It seemed like Osiris valued respect.
"What do you think of the duat, Nico?" Osiris asked.
Nico seemed to think it over before answering, "It reminds me of the area I use to shadow travel, the place between entrance and exit."
Osiris seemed surprised, "Shadow travel? That must be one of your inherited gifts from your father?"
Nico nodded.
"Interesting. I do believe the place you speak of is very similar to the duat. It might even be the same place," Osiris mused.
Anubis watched from the sideline as they spoke of the Greek Underworld and Hades – it seemed as if Osiris had met Hades on a few occasions.
"Who is that?"
Anubis turned around and spotted Horus stand behind him. Ugh, he never really got along with Horus, the god was a bit too arrogant for his taste.
"Horus, what a delight," Isis said. "This is Nico di Angelo, Anubis' boyfriend."
Horus raised an eyebrow, "This is his boyfriend? Anubis, I knew you were narcissistic and all, but this is taking it a bit too far. Making a clone of yourself?"
Anubis rolled his eyes, why did Horus always have to insult him.
"I was the one that asked him out actually," Nico retorted. "So, I guess I'm the narcissistic one." He walked over and stretched his hand out to Horus. "The name's Nico."
The god of war looked at his hand for a second before grasping it tightly, "Horus, god of War at your service." Horus then flashed Nico a brilliant smile.
Anubis rolled his eyes again. Trust the arrogant and self-centered Horus to try to get on Nico's good side. He most likely did it only to annoy him.
Nico didn't seem fazed, "Pleasure. I heard Carter Kane hosted you for a while. How come he does not host you now?"
Horus seemed taken aback by the question, "Um, we had a falling out."
"That makes sense," Nico said. He then promptly ignored Horus and went to talk with Isis.
Anubis stifled a chuckle. Horus turned on him.
"What?"
Anubis coughed, "Nothing."
Leaving the Underworld felt a bit relieving.
The visit had been nice, but Anubis couldn't stand being around Horus for too long.
Having saved the worst for last, they were now heading to his father's domain.
This was what worried him the most. He never knew how Set might react, and if he was in a foul mood, he could be ruthless.
He stopped and made Nico stand beside him.
"Nico, I want you to be careful when we meet Set. You know I dislike him and he is unpredictable. I just- Please be careful."
The demigod smiled at him and placed a hand on his cheek. "You worry too much. When have you known me not to be careful?" Anubis gave sent him a look. "Okay, I may be a bit stupid sometimes. But, hey. If Set does anything to me, I don't think my father would take it lightly."
That was true. Hades might seem not to care about his children, but he would be furious if Set hurt him.
"Okay," Anubis said. He leaned forward and kissed Nico softly.
The demigod smiled at him and hugged him.
"Now," he started. "Let's meet that horrible father of yours."
Nephthys greeted them when they arrived. She brought Anubis in for a hug and introduced herself to Nico afterwards, a smile always prominent on her face.
Nico introduced himself and kissed her hand, which made her giggle.
"It's wonderful to finally meet you, Nico. Anubis has told me so much about you," she said as she lead them inside.
"Oh, he has, has he?" Nico asked teasingly, sending Anubis a joking smile.
The god rolled his eyes.
They continued until they reached the throne room, where Set sat atop his giant throne, staring down at them with disdain.
They proceeded forward and stopped a few meters away from the god of Chaos.
Anubis stepped forth and bowed before his father. "Father, I have come to introduce my boyfriend," he started. "At your innumerous requests," he added under his breath.
"Ah, the infamous demigod. Come forth, son of Hades," Set said, seemingly having overheard Anubis' last words.
Nico walked forward and bowed, "My name is Nico di Angelo. It is my pleasure to finally meet the great god of Chaos."
Set smiled, "You flatter me child. Now, let me ask you a few questions."
He asked Nico a lot of questions, and he did his best to answer them.
Anubis felt like he had been worried for nothing. Nico handled his father with such nonchalance it seemed natural. He must be used to treating his own father the same way, seeing as they are similar in nature.
Nephthys just smiled and said nothing, she seemed content to watch Set be intrigued by this new demigod.
"He is a fine young man," she finally said. Anubis looked at her. He felt like they were the words of a mother to his son, which they were, even though he had grown up without her.
He smiled warmly, "Thank you, it means a lot that you think so."
Back in cabin thirteen Anubis felt like the day had taken its toll on his body. He flopped down on Nico's bed and the demigod sat down beside him.
"Tired?" he asked.
Anubis groaned.
He felt Nico's hands tug on his jacket, removing it, then his shirt. He still lied face down and sensed the other's fingers press into his shoulders, relieving the tension in his muscles.
"You have magic fingers, Nico," he said, feeling his body relax.
Nico hummed, "I know, next I'll be sprouting wings and waving a wand around."
Anubis shuddered, "Please don't. I like my boyfriend just as grumpy and glum as he is."
"Wha-hey!"
