A/N: There really was no plan to have a second chapter, but then this fluff came about one day. And I figured I might as well add it. Enjoy!
Damien didn't see what all the fuss over his daddy was?
He's heard many people at Camp Half-Blood say he was scary. That his daddy was a horrible guy. Many campers feared his daddy, but why?
His daddy would cuddle him after nightmares. Mommy did too, but Daddy was always the first to appear when he cried, picking him up and cuddling him. Daddy didn't say much during cuddles, but would bring him back to his and Mommy's bed tucking him in between them. Mommy would then shift, pulling Damien into his arms and Daddy would shift pulling them into is arms. Daddy liked to cuddle.
Daddy also protected him from monsters! Daddy was strong!
Sure, sometimes Daddy would bother Mommy with too many kisses and cuddles and that's when Damien would pick up a fuss. Mommy can't deal with all of Daddy's cuddles. Daddy cuddled too much!
Looking up, Damien saw his Daddy leaning against the counter, sipping his coffee as he spoke to Mommy about big people things. Damien tilted his head, blinking. For some reason, he really wanted his daddy to cuddle him. But Daddy didn't come to him when Damien wanted something like Mommy did. Not anymore.
Frowning, Damien sat there looking at his parents with a pout. How was he supposed to get his Daddy cuddle? Damien saw his Mommy laugh at something Daddy said, walking around the counter and handing Daddy a bag.
That's it!
Damien had to walk to Daddy for cuddles!
Climbing up to his feet, he could do that now, he tried his best to walk to his Daddy like Mommy did. Daddy always hugged Mommy and gave him a kiss on the forehead when he did. Damien wanted one too.
Cuddles and a kiss was his mission.
So busy on concentrating on how to move his feet and legs, Damien didn't realize that his parents stopped talking and watched him with surprise.
"Oh my god," whispered Percy, pulling out his cellphone to record Damien's first steps while he insistently slapped Nico's forearm. Nico watched on with a careful eye, not moving from his spot. He did grab Percy's hand to stop before the hits got any harder.
When Damien's curly little head looked up after a few steps, both parents noticed he would look at Nico for a few seconds before looking down again to take a few steps. Then repeat the process.
Percy kept the phone on Damien, but took a few steps away to add Nico to the shot.
It would be a lie if Nico didn't say he was proud of the little terror. Damien may be a brat, but he was still Nico's son and he loved his son.
When little hands grasped on to his pants, and a little face stared up at him, Nico let a small smile grace his lips. He reached down and picked Damien up, propping the little boy on his hip and kissing his forehead. "That's my boy," he praised gently and rubbing their cheeks together gently. Damien smiled, giggling as he cuddled his Daddy.
He made it! He got cuddles and kisses just like he wanted!
But where's Mommy? He was here too.
He didn't have to look far as Percy was beside them in a blink of an eye, smothering Damien in kisses and gushing to Nico.
"Our little boy started walking! And his first steps was to his Daddy!"
Damien giggled, trying to push his Mommy's face away as the kisses tickled. Nico chuckled, catching Percy's chin and pulling the smaller man in for a kiss. Damien was happy that his Mommy wasn't kissing him anymore and let his father have the other man's attention. Just this once.
When Nico pulled away, he winked to the breathless Percy. "I'm gonna take Damien with me to the Underworld. We'll be back in a few hours."
As Nico walked away he shouted back, "I better not find that video on the Internet Jackson!"
"Aww, but you're both so cute!"
"No internet."
"Fine, whatever."
After all, thought Nico. He had a reputation to uphold.
