Nico had a love-hate relationship with the Hunters of Artemis. He loved that he hated them. Maybe hate is too strong of a word. After all, Thalia wasn't that bad. And they were good decent people.

The only reason Nico was even thinking about it was that Thalia and Reyna had just gotten back from defeating this monster. They were by the river near Camp Jupiter. Nico had just been passing through but stopped to talk to the duo. Why you might ask, does that have anything to do with the Hunters? Because of a conversation that went a little like this.

"You fight well," Thalia said, "too well in fact."

'Where is this going?' Nico thought. 'This doesn't sound good.'

"I'm a daughter of Bellona," Reyna replied. Nico smiled a little. That sentence seemed to explain everything. But then Thalia smiled and Nico got a sinking feeling in his stomach.

"I can see that, Roman warrior indeed but there's more than- "

"Stop," Nico interrupted, "can you stop taking away every big sister that I have, Hunter?!"

Maybe that was a little harsh but Nico hated to think of Reyna ending up like Bianca. It wasn't fair of him to think

"Whatever, Di Angelo. I was just complimenting her. See you two around," Thalia waved before running off to join her fellow Hunters. Nico crossed his arms and turned away from Reyna.

"Don't worry, Neeks. I'm not going anywhere." Reyna ruffled Nico's hair before she started walking. When Nico didn't immediately follow, she turned around. "You coming?"

"Yeah, yeah, whatever. I'm coming," Nico let himself smile a little before he ran to catch up with Reyna.

AN: Okay okay this was based on another Headcanon. I promise the next one-shot won't be.

Kitkat Out!
