True Love's Kiss- Chapter 2
Nico was only 9 years old when he realized love didn't exist or mater.
Nico was rereading 'The Last Olympian' and was at the part were Clarisse and The Strolls pushed Leo and Piper into Bunker 9 and they finally started their relationship.
Nico shifted himself on the top of his Twin bed that had a comforter of Han Solo and Darth Vader; he was always a total geek.
His room was small, but tidy since Nico liked everything nice and clean before he left for a sleepover with Jason, like every Saturday since he was six years old.
At that time Nico believed in everything magical, from true love's kiss to if you lie your nose will become as long as Pinocchio's, god was he so wrong.
There was a shuffling around the hallway, signaling that his parents were home. Nico puts his book down (not forgetting to bookmark what page he was on) and walks over to the kitchen to talk to his mom about his departure to Jason's house. Only to be grabbed by Bianca.
Nico muffles a gasp as Bianca puts her hand over Nico's mouth, this was totally out of the ordinary for Bianca, she usually didn't stop Nico from talking to their Mom and Dad when they came home, only if something bad was happening
"Mom and Dad are having a fight again, we have to be quiet" Bianca says taking her hand from Nico's mouth and instead putting on finger in front of her lips, pretending to zip her mouth together, so that there parents won't know they were finishing to there conversations like they usually. Nico zips his lips in front of Bianca, mentally telling her that he will stay quiet. Bianca nods and they soon put their ear to the wall of the hallway and listen in to the conversation, which wasn't hard since their parents were screaming.
"She's pregnant!" Their mom screams in outrage "Why didn't you tell me?"
"Maria, don't worry about it it'll be fine" And by the sound of Hades voice, Nico could guess he was trying to cup her face.
"Don't touch me!" Their mom screams again making Bianca and Nico sure that she was backing way from Hades "You don't care about me, so stop acting like you do. If you did you wouldn't have done IT with her"
"Maria calm down" Reluctantly she does calm down enough to whisper, "I'm going"
"What!" Nico and Bianca hear Hades yell.
"I'm going for a walk to clear my head, then I'll drop Nico off at The Grace's house for Nico and Jason's sleepover, and after that I'll take Bianca to The Chase's house for Bianca and Annabeth's sleepover, I'll be back by 5 o' clock and then we can discus what to do next."
And with that, Maria heads for her room, making Nico and Bianca run over to Nico's bedroom so their parents wouldn't know they were spying on them.
Nico and Bianca then sit across each other on Nico's fluffy black carpet, that he got from Santa. They stare at each other, dawning and over what just happened, and thinking the worst out of everything.
"What just happened?" Nico asks Bianca quietly.
"What just happened is daddy made someone have a baby that wasn't mommy, he cheated"
Nico eye's widen, making them even bigger than before "Why would daddy do that? He love's mommy, they kiss and hug all the time, like in my books" And then something else dawns on Nico making his eyes widen even more "Do you think we'll more back to Italy?"
Bianca looks at Nico in uncertainly "I don't know Nicky but first you have to know Nico that you never really know if someone is in love; love isn't some flowery sweetness you read in your books or fairytales, it's hard work filled with tears, people cheating, screaming, fights, and sadly death. The only love you can really know that is true is your families love, your blood not your spouse or significant other"
"Are you staying that love isn't good?"
Bianca looks at him sadly "I'm saying love's hard and sometimes . . . it doesn't exist, even if you want it to"
In the future Bianca dreads the words she told Nico when she was 11 and he was 9, Bianca just wanted Nico to know that love was hard and people may not like you back but Nico took her words and switched them around and instead of thinking love is hard he thought she meant love is worthless and should mean nothing romantically
To this day Nico lives by the words. Bianca was right about love not existing, that it would only lead to heartbreak one way or another.
Nico still didn't understand why his mom took his dad back after having sex with Marie Lévesque. Bianca said 'people do stupid things when they're in love'.
That sentence changed his life forever.
To that day Nico swore to never fall in love.
Nico liked the no strings attached relationship. He liked being on one nightstands. He liked flirting. He liked making out behind grocery stores. He liked talking someone's innocence, when the guy or girl looks up to him from the mattress he pinned them on with eye's full of lust. He liked leading people on and rejecting them at their worse. He liked breaking people's hearts and leaving them with nothing left, just like what his dad did or maybe still.
Annabeth was right with everything she said; he was going to get stalked or murdered if he continued to do what he's been doing since he was 15. But Nico didn't care much about that fact,
Yes, he did have someone he liked and gave more than he gave the others, but it was Jason. He was his best friend he won't abandon him like Nico does to practically everyone just because they were kissing or making out. Jason knows what Nico feels about love and that he'll probably end up with some blonde rich bimbo who his dad arranged married him. Might as well sleep around before he'll have to settle down with someone who he will never love.
In fairytale's Nico would totally be the big bad wolf or Hans of the fairytale and Nico couldn't care less.
It didn't mate being nice to others romantically since he'll never have any real feelings over them only lust, and if he did . . . that's what he had Jason for, 'to eliminate it'. It only maters being nice to his family and childhood friends since their the people who truly love him and will swipe away his tears, mend his heart and make everything ok.
Many time's Bianca tried to explain her idea about love and how Nico misled her idea of it, but it didn't mater anymore. Nico took her words to heart and believed in them with all his heart, since she was right.
Life isn't a fairytale, they're so many things that happen and that cause heartbreak, that it makes love seem hopeless and all and all impossible to overcome and find the true meaning for what being in love is really about.
That's why Nico was and still is an innocence crusher, who's prey is the weak and painless, people who still believe in fairy tales and happily ever after's.
He's reality.
Because in reality there's no happily ever after's, there just after's, that are full of betrayal, loneliness, and heartbreak.
No one is safe in reality all of them are in danger, some more than others, You can try to hide from it but it'll find you one way or another, might as well confront it and hope your ok.
And then Nico met Percy.
The boy was stunning in Nico's eyes and he knew who his next prey would be.
The boy just by the look of him and the times Hazel talked to Nico about Percy, Nico was sure as hell Percy was a hopeless romantic who would be easy to break once they get close to each other.
Nico became some sort of expert at the hopeless romantic type, they were picky people who scorned the land trying to find their Princess or Prince Charming.
And when Nico first kissed Percy he thought he was still trying to find Percy's weak spot but when they kissed something Nico's never experienced before happened.
When there lips first touched he felt some sort of spark between them and his whole body wanting to have more of Percy then ever before.
Nico was so surprised about his body was doing he stepped away from Percy stares at him bewildered and soon runs away from Percy.
Nico never wanted to be in love, Nico never even wanted to know what love was, it was to scary to ever think of but somehow reality came and ruined everything in his mind.
He couldn't be in love, it couldn't be true love's kiss that happened between Percy and him only seconds ago.
This is reality not a fairy tale why would there be a spark between him and Percy, Nico never believed in love or ever wanted it.
It's been a while since Nico has watched Snow White or Sleeping Beauty but he was sure as hell that Aurora and Snow woke up by true love's kiss.
And that wasn't a good sigh for Nico, not at all.
Nico I've never said love was worthless or didn't exist, I said that love is hard and that sometimes the person you love doesn't love, but one day you'll find the one who will be worth all of the hardness of love and will love you just the way so are.
Maybe Bianca was right but Nico didn't want to find out, not yet anyway.
