I Want Someone To Make An Edit Of Shiro With That One Part Near The End In Applause By Lady Gaga.

I want someone to make an edit of Shiro with that one part near the end in Applause by Lady Gaga.

It would show the scene where Shiro is in his final round of the arm wrestling match and then the beat drops when he wins. Then it would be a normal edit of my homeboy THE VISION IS THERE OK?!

Man why are so many bots following me😭

Keith Kogane X Reader: Fluff Alphabet

gender: gender neutral

type: fluff alphabet by @snk-warriors

acronyms: f/c = favorite color

characters: keith kogane

warnings: maybe out of character keith?

A ctivities - What do they like to do with their s/o? How do they spend their free time with them?

He enjoy's any quality time you both spend together. However, you- besides Shiro, are one of the people he's really close with. So he likes to train with you and show you some new moves he could use some criticism on. He also enjoys you showing off some of your moves.

B eauty - What do they admire about their s/o? What do they think is beautiful about them?

You understand him better then anyone. That's what made him know you were on the one for him. You can contrl his anger issues and calm him down when he seems to just- go all out- if you know what I mean.

C omfort - How would they help their s/o when they feel down/have a panic attack etc.?

Not the best at comfort, but I headcanon (or is this canon, idk) he struggles through he's on panic attacks. Everyone has them, so there's nothing to be ashamed about. He wants you to be able to go to him when you're down or on the verge of panic attacks. He would try his best to stop you from crying, for example, rubbing your back, whispering in your ear, combing your hair with his fingers, or just holding you when you need him the most.

D reams - How do they picture their future with their s/o?

He just wants you to be happy. If he's with you, there's no other place he's rather be. He's travel hell and back with you if it was possible. He's basically traveled through space for/with you, so hes got that all setted.

E qual - Are they the dominant one in the relationship, or rather passive?

Somewhat like Lance, he's a switch between passive and dominant. He likes to hear what you have to say and will never deny any of your ideas, unless there stupid. Then yes, he will have to take charge, but he does like to have others pitch in- sometimes.

F ight - Would they be easy to forgive their s/o? How are they fighting?

He's a hothead. So going into this relationship with him you were bound to run into arguments here and there. He would never actually do anything to physically hurt you, but he may say something and you let it sink in for days until he apologies. He tends to say sorry at first, but leaves and doens't talk to you until he's ready. He doesn't enjoy arguing with you, but sometimes he can't help but raise his voice at you for something stupid.

G ratitude - How grateful are they in general? Are they aware of what their s/o is doing for them?

He had no idea where his life was going until he laid eyes on you and actually got to know you. He felt like he had a place in the world and that would be with you through out everything. Good or bad. He is aware, how can he not be. You make sure he's eating. You make sure he's sleeping properly. That he's not overdoing it training. Taking breaks and having some time with friends and loved ones. He won't admit it in front of the others, but he sheds a tear when you do these small things for him.

H onesty - Do they have secrets they hide from their s/o? Or do they share everything?

He lies sometimes. And normally, you'll catch him in the lie but before you could question he's already gone. In his room, his lion, or even just out on his own somewhere. He doesn't want to lie to you because he knows youd never lie to him, but everyonee lies about something. You both know you have your personal problems, but you both want to get through those problems together.

I nspiration - Did their s/o change them somehow, or the other way around? Like trying out new things or helped them overcome personal problems?

As said in 'G' he wouldn't know where he would be going in life if he hadn't met you. You gave him a purpose to keep fighting. He would want to try new things with you,but he would never forgive himself if he saw you hurt and he could have done something to prevent it. As said in 'H' as well, you both want to help each other overcome personal problems one step at a time.

J ealousy - Do they get jealous easily? How do they deal with it?

He mostly gets jealous at Lance when he 'play-flirt' with you. This was also when you both weren't even dating yet. Yup, it was that early he was alreadt getting jealous. "Y/N. It's time for traning, get moving or I'm adding in an extra 10 mintues for the rest of the week!" Lance would notice and tease the half-Galra Paladin about, but he pushes the Cuban away. "Is someone a little bit, oh what's the word? 'Jealous~'?'" "Shut up, Lance." He tends to talk to you about his jealousy, days after the incident had happen.

K iss - Are they a good kisser? What was the first kiss like?

You would say he's an amazing kisser, but he says otherwise. He tenses up mid kiss, unsure when to pull away so you're normally dominant when it comes to kissing and making out. The first kiss? He made the first move at a family celebration of yours. That was also the time he confessed his feelings for you.

L ove Confession - How would they confess to their s/o?

-kinda answered already, but I'll add detail- It was your siblings graduation party. You invited Keith and the others, but they didn't want to intrude in your family celebration. However, you were shocked to see Keith by your doorstep. You invited him in and introduced to your family. Of course, your mother asked if you both were dating and you both blushed. You father pulled your mother away and apologized. At the end, everyone was heading home while some slept over. Keith, not wanting to intrdude any longer, pulled you outside to have a small talk with you. How your week was, if your doing okay in school. Until he watched as you were about to walk back into after your father called to help clean-up. As you turned, the Galra grabbed your wrist and turned you back toward him. Gefore you questione, he smashed his lips to yours and you were both shocked. You actully, non-intended, melted into the kiss. Moments later you pulled away for air. Keiith pants, watching you smile softly. "Is there- something you wanted to say, Mullet?" You teased, panting for air as Kaith blushed a deep red. "I-" It was written all over his face. He fell for you. Hard. And you could tell. "I-I love you, Y/N." You giggled as you pushed his bangs back and kissed his forehead, "Took ya' long enough."

M arriage - Do they want to get married? How do they propose? What would the marriage be like?

He is flustered when it came to proposing to you. You've been dating for years, he didn't want it to be taken away by a silly question. Howver, through all you've been together, meetings, all the Voltron show bizz, saving the universe, he couldn't find a time to ask you until the end of it all. This was day's after Allura's sacfrice. He found you on your balcony one starry night, looking up into space. The same place you watched the lions leave once more, ready to fight along side new Paladins. His hand was behind his back, gripping a small box as his other covered his mouth as he couched, attemping to get your attention. At first, you both talked and laughed about your pst adventures. You already missed your time as a Voltron Paladin, but in a couple of minutes, you're life was about to change forever. As you were distracted by the shooting star, Keith was able to sneak behind you and bend down on one knee. You called his name before you turned around, almost falling to the floor when you saw him on one knee with a ring box in his hand, revealing a beautful (f/c) gem in the middle of the silver metal. He promised to stay with you until the day he dies. He will never let you do anything on you're own anymore. He will be with you every step of the way. As you cheered 'YES!' and tackled your fiancé to the ground with a hug, All the others watched from the door and Lance snapped a quick picture of his friend getting attacked with kisses and hugs.

N icknames - What do they call their s/o?

Baby/Babe.

When he's cheeky, Sweetheart.

He mostly calls you by any preferred nickname, but those two are his top pick to use for you.

O n Cloud Nine - What are they like when they are in love? Is it obvious for others? How do they express their feelings?

He tries to hide it, but is terribly at it and accidently blurts it out durning an agrument with Lance, causing everyone to literally freeze and drop whatever they had in their hands. He didn't see anybody after that 1 afternoon until the next day. He saw Lance hand two 20's over to Pidge, who snickered at Lance's deadpanned face. Keith being in love is nothing to joke about. If he say's he loves someone, he'll be dead fucking serious. He wouldn't tell anyone if he wasn't.

P DA - Are they upfront about their relationship? Do they brag with their s/o in front of others? Or are they rather shy to kiss etc. when others are watching?

He's so shy- oml. Not as shy in private though- ahem ahem. Moving on- Keith likes to hold you close while cuddling. His also likes to rub your thigh now and than, catching you off guard sometimes. He tends to hide your relationshp to others, but of he see's another person on you he'l drag you back and leave a kiss to your lips, loud and clear enough for the other perosn to see. He sends them a death glare saying 'touch them, and you die.' Plain and simple.

Q uirk - Some random ability they have that’s beneficial in a relationship.

He respects you so much. If no body worthships the ground you step on, their nothing to him. He does everything he can to make every date night a special one. Little doesn he know, just being with him is special.

R omance - How romantic are they? What would they do to make their s/o happy? Cliché or rather creative?

Cliché. To make you happy? Just be with you. That's all he needs to do in order to make you really happy. He can be romantic at times, while other times he's got no clue what he's doing at first and lets you to take the wheel. Don't get use to all this power though, because he's a fast learner.

S upport - Are they helping their s/o achieve their goals? Do they believe in them?

100% he believes in you. He tells you if you seriously know what your doing, he'll be your number one supporter, trailing behind you. He wants to help to the best of his ability, but if he doesn't think it's a good idea he will step in and ask you to re-think your ideas.

T hrill - Do they need to try out new things to spice out your relationship? Or do they prefer a certain routine?

He would prefer for a certain routine, but he also finds it fun how excited you get when you want to try new things. He's like the black cat in the relationship while your the golden reteriver. Of course, he will never let you do anything that will, or may, get yourself killed.

U nderstanding - How good do they know their partner? Are they empathetic?

He'll listen to what you need to say and try his best to give the best advice his can. However, there are sometimes where he doesn't know what to do but ask for some help from Shiro. Give him time and he'll try his best to help you.

V alue - How important is the relationship to them? What is it’s worth in comparison to other things in their life?

If someone hurts you he's going full Galra. Fangs and claws are out, baby. Better start running, You're so important to him, he wouldn't know what to do without you. He never thought he'd be here, but now that your in his life he's doing everything he can to keep you in it.

W ild Card - A random Fluff Headcanon.

I headcanon he's hands, oher then Lances, are cold and somewhat rough. He laughs at your cute reactions when he stuffs his hands up your shirt, rubbing your bare skin. This leads to a all out tickle fight. Laughter and sceams could be heard from down the halls.

X OXO - Are they very affectionate? Do they love to kiss and cuddle?

He doesn't hate it, but he would want his personal space once ina while. He also does the same for you. However, other times when you do hug him he may never let you go. You're so warm and cuddly he'll basically use you as a blanket/bed from now on.

Y earning - How will they cope when they’re missing their partner?

Doesn't matter, because he's never going to lose you. If you're away on a mission, that's something else. He'll write to you when he can and smile when he finds you wrote back to him.

Z eal - Are they willing to go to great lengths for the relationship? If so, what kind of?

He. Will. Kill. For. You. Okay, too extreme. But he will try his best to do anything for you. If you need help, he'll be there in less then 2 seconds.

A song I’ve been waiting for finally came out and the amount of ANGSTY IDEAS I HAVE FOR KEITH IS INSANE💀 mostly about when Keith leaves for the blades and when he comes back to earth

GUYS I WANT TO WRITE IT BUT MY INBOX IS STARING STRAIGHT INTO MY SOUL

Hiya!! Love your work so much😆

I was wondering if you’d write something where the paladins (especially keith hehe) have to go to a formal event like a gala to bring the coalition together (??) and how they’d ask y/n to be their date and/or how they’d react to y/n in their formal attire?? (maybe even add Matt too if you feel inspired) Thank youuu 🫶

Brooooo stoooppppp I am so weak for this idea holy shit 😩 And you are my first non anon request so THANKS FRIEND 🥹 I went with my three fav paladins 💙❤️💚AND Mattie boy 🧡Also I love writing with emojis, sorry not sorry. ENJOY DARLING~

KEITH ❤️

OH MY GOD POOR LITTLE SHY BABY BOY

He waits until the last minute to ask you, let’s be honest. Like a day before the event, he’s sitting beside you in the training room, trying to catch his breath when he goes “So that thing tomorrow. Wanna go together?” And you’re like 😏 “Are you asking me to be your date?” And now he’s like 🙄 “Shut up before I change my mind.”

It’s silent for a second but he’s staring at you. “So, are you gonna answer my question?” “Yes, Keith. I’ll be your date to the gala.” And he’s bright red in the face now.

He tries to act all cool and mysterious as you both leave the training deck and go opposite ways. As soon as you’re out of sight, he’s SPRINTING to Lance’s room.

“HELP I HAVE A DATE AND I DONT KNOW HOW TO ROMANCE!!!” 😰

He’s so fucking annoyed as he spends hours trying to memorize and properly recite pick up lines to Lance as practice.

He also totally does not steal a bottle of cologne from Lance’s bathroom before he leaves.

The morning of, he finds Shiro for wardrobe assistance. Big brother Shiro totally cleans Keith up, giving him a more semi-formal look. Keith thinks he’s too cool for a coat and tie. Shiro also convinces Keith to pull his hair back into a low pony tail.

He decides he’s just too nervous to meet you at your room so he kinda just sits on his bed for a while, fully dressed and smelling great and waiting for you.

Finally you step into his open door way, instantly catching his attention. He stands quickly, almost stumbling over his own feet as he approaches you, admiring your look for the evening.

“OH WOW. Oh…Uh…sorry. You look really nice.” You look so nice he’s stressed out about it like wtf why are you so gorgeous? He thinks you’re sooooo far out of his league.

“I like your hair pulled back like that.” You smile at him and he thinks he might just spontaneously combust rn.

He keeps his arm linked with yours as you walk together to the front of the castle where all the guests are.

Once there, you mostly hang out together or with the other paladins. You’re both kind of shy and you find comfort in being together. You’re like the two emo kids at prom who just stand against the wall and complain about the lame music.

At some point, you two disappeared from the party. Allura and Shiro are like Hello? Where did they go? Shiro wanders outside to look for you only to find you both laying on your backs in the grass right outside the castle’s front entrance, staring up at the sky. He smiles as he hears you laughing at something Keith said.

“Im serious! Lance told me to say ‘even in zero gravity, I’d still fall for you’.” “BOOOOO that’s a terrible line!” You laugh up to the dark night sky.

His hand moves slowly to the side until it meets yours. When you feel the touch, you link your pinky finger with his and look over at him. He’s still staring up at the stars as a smile grows across his face.

He was so worried about disappointing you tonight, he just wanted to charm you. But he didn’t need pick up lines or fancy clothes to make you smile. Just being his normal self seemed to make you happy.

LANCE 💙

You guessed it…Lance is going all out for you.

The morning that they are told about it from Allura, he’s literally interrupting the whole meeting to ask you to be his date.

Freaking cheese ball gets down on one knee, takes your hand and kisses the back of it softly. When he looks up at you, he’s got that flirty smirk on his thin lips. “Would you, (Y/N), make me the happiest man in the universe and be my date to the coalition gala?”

You: 😍🥵🤭

Lance: 😘😏😎

Everyone else: 🤢🫣🙄

Obvi, you say yes with dreamy eyes and a goofy smile on your face.

You thought it was cute that he asked you even though you’ve been dating for a while now. You just assumed you’d be going together anyways. What a sweet boy~

While you’re feeling fine about the whole thing, Lance is freaking out. He’s digging through his clothes looking for something fancy to wear, he’s doing double face masks, he’s forcing Pidge to smell different colognes and help him pick the best one, he’s practicing his slow dance AND his salsa skills. Keep in mind, the gala isn’t for another week but he needs to get prepared NOW!

“There’s not even gonna be music, idiot. It’s a gala, not prom. When are you two even gonna have the chance to do the lift from dirty dancing?” “SHUT UP, PIDGE! IT’LL HAPPEN!!!”

He just wants to impress you so bad. It’s his top priority at the moment.

The night of the event, he’s freshly showered, dressed for the gods, smelling like a whole bath and body works and he’s sitting in your room keeping you company while you get ready.

“Lance, the gala doesn’t start for another 4 hours. Why are you- nevermind. Forget it. You look great.” And he gets so excited at the compliment.

He watches as you get ready. He’s not as talkative as he usually is.

“You okay?” He nods with a dopey grin on his face. He’s just admiring you, that’s all. A compliment leaves his mouth like every 5 minutes as you continue to get all dolled up.

He follows along side you all the way there, his hand is in yours and it’s SWEATY. He’s so nervous.

Once you’re there, his attention span is that of a gold fish. He’s so excited and chatty and asking people questions and he never fails to introduce you to everyone…every single person…S E P A R A T E L Y. He just wants to brag.

“This fine little honey right here…yeah, all mine. I know what you’re thinking, how’d I get so lucky? I ask myself that every day.” What a sap omfg

He notices you’re looking less than happy, kind of tired. Your social battery is at like 5%. He can tell you need a break.

As you’re standing beside Allura, listening to her talk to an ally of the coalition, Lance grabs your hand and pulls you away. You’re running behind him just to keep up with his long legs.

“Where are we going?” “You’ll see.”

THIS MF SET UP FAIRY LIGHTS AND MUSIC AND CANDLES IN HIS ROOM. BRO IS LITERALLY SUCH A HOPELESS ROMANTIC I CANT DEAL WITH IT. That’s why he came to your room so early. He didn’t wanna risk you coming in to his room and seeing everything.

You might think this is so extra but if Lance is anything, it’s extra. He takes any chance he can to make you smile and feel special. He’s so sweet, it’s disgusting.

“I just really wanna dance with you, (Y/N)…” “You did all this…for me?” He nods with a shy smile, bitting his lip as he watches for your reaction. You’re over the moon, your smile uncontrollable now.

So you dance together for a couple songs. He gently caresses your back as he sways with you, occasionally letting his hands roam to your hips. At this point, his cheeks hurt from how hard he’s smiling. It’s cute and sweet and innocent and you’ve never loved him more.

PIDGE 💚

LMAO PIDGE WILL NOT EVEN ASK YOU.

Bc they’re too shy for that romantic shit.

They’re like “Who else would they go with? I’m not worried.”

They assume y’all are going together bc you’re obviously more than just friends.

They will get dressed up nice for you tho. They know everyone else will be dressed up too but they secretly WANT to make you swoon over them. Like plz feed their ego.

They actually go to Hunk for help with their wardrobe. Hunk is the best wingman to ever exist, change my mind. Also, they are really unsure whether they want to wear something more masculine or more feminine and they really trust Hunk with the topic of their gender identity.

“Hey, you guys ready?” You pop into Hunk’s room, all dressed up and ready to go.

“Almost! Hunk is just helping me with the zipper on-“ Once Pidge lays eyes on you, the little gears in their head stop completely. It’s like everything else faded away as they looked you up and down. You’re so angelic, wow oh wow.

“Aww, Pidge! You look stunning.” Aaaaand you broke them. You’re gonna have to turn them off and restart them.

“Uh yeah, you’re good now.” Hunk assures and nudges Pidge back to reality. “Go.” He whispers as he ushers them to move towards you.

You walk together in complete silence, your arm linked with theirs. Finally, they speak up first.

“Are you nervous?” “Yeah, are you?” “Yeah…” “I hate parties.” “Me too.”

So together you devise a plan: you’re gonna sneak around and pull silly little pranks on people and just eat all the food you can get your grubby little hands on.

And you do exactly that. You’re both having so much fun! You’re laughing so hard you’re snorting. You’re far from nervous now.

Pidge is the best at breaking you out of your shell and making you feel comfortable. You can be your true, authentic self around them. They are your best friend first and your ✨partner✨ second.

After a while, you two sneak off to their room to play video games. The food was good and the pranks were hilarious but you had both had enough.

As soon as the door shuts behind you, you’re both ripping off your uncomfortable fancy clothes and changing into pajamas.

You’re sitting beside them, watching the loading screen for the game. It’s taking a while…

“So…what do I have to do to get you to stare at me like that again?” Pidge whips their head around, watching you with nervous eyes. They take a deep breath before they speak. “I always stare at you like that. You’ve just never noticed.” “AAAAWWWWWWWW REALLY?!”

Forget the video game. CUE THE CUDDLEFEST!!! 💚💚💚

MATT 🧡

Matt literally goes like this: 😌👉🏻👈🏻 “Hey…uhm hey…wanna be my date to the gala tomorrow?” *blushies*

And you’re like “Matthew, we’ve been dating for 8 months.” “Yeah, so?” You sigh heavily. “Yes, I’ll be your date, you dork.”

He doesn’t go to anyone for help with anything. Man is so confident and he knows you love him no matter what he looks like.

But of course he cleans up for you. He dresses up all formal and uses mouth wash like 10 times. He puts on so much lotion. He got some from Lance bc his hands are always so dry. He just wants to hold your soft hand in his own soft hand, ya know?

He’s waiting outside your door for a while, giving you privacy while you get ready but being right there for you when you’re done.

Once your door slides open, he turns and now he’s looking at you like he just won the lottery.

“HOT DAMN, YOU ARE SO FINE! What did I ever do to deserve you? Oh my god, you’re so perfect. You are the most perfect thing I’ve ever laid my eyes on, did you know that? I swear, you are so precious-“ “Maaattttt, stooooopppppp.” You’re blushing so hard rn and he LOVES IT.

He walks with his arm around your shoulders, chatting with you about who is attending the event tonight and the importance of it all.

You sort of follow him around most the night, not doing much of the talking bc you’d rather listen to him talk.

He is so intelligent, just like Pidge. He uses words so big you cant even begin to imagine what half of them mean. He was so smooth with his words, the way he could spit facts about anything and everything without a second thought took your breath away.

At some point, you lost him in the crowd. He was busy, he was working to protect the universe. You understand. This is more than just a party.

You wander outside for some fresh air and a break from all the loud banter. Matt is meeting you out there within minutes.

“Hey. You alright?” He rests a hand on your upper back, rubbing his thumb back and forth between your shoulder blades. “Yep! Just…need a break.” “Yeah, I get it. It’s overwhelming.”

He turns and looks over his shoulder before he waves, a big smile on his face. “Oh hey! Yeah, this is (Y/N), my partner. The one I was telling you about.” He’s introducing you to an ally of the coalition who he’d just met earlier this evening.

You can’t help but smile, your heart pounding in your chest. He was talking about you to someone here tonight? What was he saying? Did he just call you his partner??? You’ve never actually heard him call you that. You’re so blushy and flattered and happy.

After a brief meeting, the visitor leaves you two alone. You pull Matt into a hug, squeezing him as tight as you can.

“You know I love you, right?” “Yes. You know I love YOU, right?” “Yeah, I know.” “Good, don’t you ever forget it.” You can decide who said what. Either way, y’all are so in love it’s not even funny.

ANON ASKS:

can you make general yandere nico di angelo headcanons with an male reader? thanks!

AAAAAAAAAA. NICO’S SO ADORABLE.

I also tried to keep the reader’s cabin as vague as possible, though you can probably assume he’s not Cabin 13, lmao.

(Fun fact; when I took the cabin test, I got Cabin 7. I knew it was either gonna be that, Cabin 9, or Cabin 10. #ApolloCabin4Lyfe, ahaha.)

ARCHIVED POST. @clusterfuck-yandere IS MY NEW BLOG.

PLEASE DO NOT SEND REQUESTS ON THIS BLOG.

— His obsession started the second he laid eyes on you.

Call it a sick version of love at first sight.

But he’s completely enamored by how the glow of the campfire reflected off your soft-looking skin, or how your joyful laughter sounded like symphonies in his ears.

His stomach felt like a million butterflies were fluttering in it.

You caught him staring at you at least 5 times that night. Each time, he would look away with a light shade of pink dusting his face.

Don’t get me wrong, you found this guy cute and all, but the staring thing was a little… bizarre.

At one point, Clarisse leaned over to gently (much to your surprise) elbow you in the shoulder.

“Looks like someone’s interested in you, (L/N).”

— He absolutely REFUSES to talk to you.

What, and make a fool out of himself?

Yeah. He’d rather have the earth swallow him whole (and he can actually make that happen).

So, he opts to keep his distance, watching you from afar as you go about your activities.

Training in the arena? He’s watching you from the entrance.

Cleaning the pegasus stables? He’s not too far away in the strawberry fields.

Trying your hand at arts and crafts? He’s peering in through the opening.

Attempting the climbing wall? He’s on the bay of the river looking up at you.

Playing volleyball with friends? He’s peaking at you from behind the Big House.

He’s really good at hiding from you, since he can conceal himself with shadows.

Though sometimes the time of day prevents him from being able to use shadow concealment (damn Apollo and his whole moving-the-sun thing).

So you can usually spot him when it’s around noon.

Was that him dipping behind the arena?

Or standing in the middle of the strawberry fields?

Or peaking into the arts and crafts area?

Or running on the river bay?

Or leaning against the Big House, pretending he’s casually loitering around and not looking at the volleyball game?

Percy always teases you about your not-so-secret admirer.

“Aww. Poor Nico’s too shy. Maybe he needs you to make the first move.”

— Anytime you try to approach him, however, he runs away.

Even if you look in his direction, he’s dashing off to the nearest shaded area so he can disappear.

In fact, if it wasn’t for Percy, you wouldn’t even know the guy’s name.

“Who, Nico? He’s a part of Cabin 13. The only child of Hades in Camp Half Blood.”

Cabin 13, huh?

You decided to pay the gloomy looking cabin a visit.

Kind of looks like a mausoleum, you mentally noted.

After knocking on the cabin door, feint shuffling noises could be heard.

The door slightly creaked open and you could see his onyx eye widen through the crack.

Before you could say anything, though, the door slammed shut.

You waited on the cabin porch, thinking he was just putting on pants or something.

But then you caught sight of someone running from the back of the cabin and towards the Big House.

You did a double take. “NICO??”

Although the figure didn’t look back, you knew it was him from the familiar bomber jacket.

How the hell did he get out the cabin?! It doesn’t even have windows.

“NICO, WAIT!” You started to run after him.

Just as you almost caught up to him, he disappeared under the shadow of the Big House.

“What the—?”

Catching your breath, you frantically looked around for the son of Hades.

Did he just… vanish?

You later learned from Will Solace that children of Hades can shadow-travel.

“Well, that explains a lot,” you groaned, Will laughing as Piper gave you a sympathetic smile.

— The first time he let you approach him was… interesting.

He was walking towards the showers with his bathing supplies when he heard you laughing and carrying on with Percy.

As per usual, he ducked into one of the stalls to observe you, watching as you avoided getting whipped by the other demigod’s towel.

“If that actually didn’t miss, Director D would’ve been so madddddd,” you teased, hair wet from previously taking a shower.

“HA. Director D doesn’t care about our well being,” scoffed Percy. “It’s Chiron that would’ve chewed us out.”

While joking about how Director D just wants a reason to get Percy in trouble, the two of you began to walk towards where Nico was hiding.

He could hear your voices get gradually louder.

So, to make sure you didn’t see him, he backed up further into the shower.

Only he didn’t know the shower had been recently used and there was a puddle of water still present.

Poor Nico slipped and fell on his ass.

“What was that?” “Did someone just fall?”

Before he could process his own horror, you were already standing at the entrance of the shower.

Your face was filled with concern. “Are you alright, man?”

He could only stare up at you with wide eyes.

“He might’ve hit his head,” Percy grimaced from behind you. “Nico, nod yes or no. Are you alright?”

You kneeled in front of him to get a closer look at his face. “Can you hear us?”

He was about to answer.

But then he felt your hand on his face.

It felt like you sent a jolt of electricity through his body (if you’re a child of Zeus, he might’ve actually thought you did).

The feeling of butterflies returned to his stomach as his heart leapt into his throat.

Your hand was warm…

And soft…

Something he hasn’t felt in a while…

He couldn’t help but lean into your touch, though you didn’t seem to notice.

“Gods, he’s burning up,” you exclaimed. “Is that a concussion symptom I don’t know about?”

“I… don’t know,” Percy admitted. “Think we should get him checked out by Chiron?”

Next thing he knew, you were pulling him off of the ground, sending him flying into your chest from the force.

Oh, gods.

His face was practically maroon at that point.

A blissful sigh came from his lips as he hooded his eyes.

He practically melted in your hands.

In fact, he actually did melt in your hands.

You had to resort to manhandling him like he was a rag doll.

“C’mon, Nico,” you prodded. “Try to stand up on your own.”

“He looks so tired,” Percy commented. “Stay awake, man. We don’t know what’s wrong yet.”

Irritation built up in the ravenette as Percy snapped his fingers in front of his face.

Finally, he slapped the son of Poseidon’s hands away with a low grunt.

“Ow,” Percy yelped, holding his stinging hand. “What was that for?!”

“Well, at least he’s kind of awake,” you mused, humor lacing your tone.

Even so, you and Percy hauled him off to the Big House to get him evaluated just in case.

On the way there, Nico could only think about how alive he felt with your touch.

— Ever since then, he’s been clingy as hell.

The first time he actually stood next to you (and not several feet from you), it actually took you by surprise.

You were picking up your fixed sword from the forge when you turned around to see him standing there.

And I mean right there.

Needless to say, you yelped a curse.

“Gods, Nico. Warn a guy!”

By the time you realized, “holy shit, Nico di Angelo is actually standing near me instead of cowering behind a tree,” he dove into your chest and gave you a long lasting hug.

… Huh?

That’s… not like Nico at all.

Awkwardly holding your sword away with one hand and patting his head with the other, you wondered what the hell happened.

Did your godly parent die or something?

… And is he inhaling your scent?

After what felt like hours, he finally let go of you and ran off before you could ask any questions.

“What the hell..?”

Maybe that was his way of thanking you for helping him last night?

You thought it was bizarre, but at least he actually approached you.

Or shadow-travelled behind you. Who knows.

Ever since that strange hug, he’s actually been by your side more often.

Training in the arena? He’s setting up dummies and targets.

Cleaning the pegasus stables? He’s shoveling manure with you.

Trying your hand at arts and crafts? He’s handing you the supplies you need.

Attempting the climbing wall? He’s acting as your spotter just in case.

Playing volleyball with friends? He’s holding your water bottle and actually keeping score.

And you bet your ass he’s going in for hugs any chance he gets.

He likes to nuzzle into you as you sit at the amphitheater, or watch your friends spar with each other, or sitting at the mess hall.

If at least one arm isn’t around him, he practically forces himself into your embrace.

“He’s like a cat demanding your attention,” Will points out.

The way he rubs his head against your side, yeah. He is like a cat.

A very clingy and silent cat wearing heavy metal shirts.

— He still doesn’t speak to you.

No matter how what you say to him, his lips are sealed.

You thought he was mute at first, but Percy assures you that Nico can, in fact, talk.

So you figured he would talk when he was ready.

Anytime you ask him a question, he responds with nodding or shaking his head, shrugging, pointing, or general hand gestures.

He doesn’t even talk to other campers when around you.

And he’s around you almost all the time.

“You know, you don’t have to be shy around me. I’m sure your voice is fine.”

He only shrugs.

It’s not that he’s insecure about his voice or anything, it’s just that he doesn’t feel the need to say anything when he’s around you.

All he needs is your touch and he’s good for life.

Other campers begin to worry if he was giving them the silent treatment.

“Seriously,” Leo whined. “What did I do?!”

You keep having to reassure all of them that Nico just… doesn’t talk when he’s around you.

“It’s nothing personal,” you nervously chuckle. “He’s just… like that.”

“Well, can you make him not like that?! I need him to tell me what work he wants done on his sword!”

“Might have to kidnap him for that,” you joked.

The air was squeezed out of your ribs as Nico clung onto you for dear life.

— He starts to develop a habit of showing up in your bed at night.

Which, to his credit, isn’t the worst habit in the world.

But it’s still a little startling when you wake up in the middle of the night to Nico staring at you in the face.

You’ve woken your cabin-mates up on multiple occasions.

“Nico, you can’t just keep dropping by unannounced like that!!”

He only nuzzled closer into your side.

It’s become an everyday occurrence for you to wake up in the morning and see him still asleep next to you.

He practically lives in your cabin nowadays.

Your cabin-mates constantly ask if you two are dating (a fair question, since friends don’t really sleep together every night).

To which you reply honestly;

“No, but I don’t think Nico knows that…”

One jokes that he’s more of a pet than a boyfriend.

And they’re not really wrong…

— He steals your shirts.

This is also one of the reasons why people think you’re dating.

They’ll notice how the shirt he’s wearing looks awfully familiar to the one you wore at the amphitheater.

Or how the one he sleeps in is identical to the one you said was your favorite months ago.

Or how the shirt you were wearing moments prior is now on him…

You know you’ll want to wear your shirt when he begins to tug at it.

“Nico, I just did the obstacle course…”

He’ll start tugging it off of you.

“Alright! Alright! Give me a—”

He’s practically got the whole shirt over your head at this point.

“Nico—!!”

The little shit will do it at the most inconvenient times, too.

“Wait a second, Nico. You’ll tip the canoe.”

“Now—?! We’re in the middle of a game!”

“I’m trying to fight an empousa right now!!”

No matter what, he gets his way.

Annabeth jokes how he’s a spoiled brat.

“Something like that,” you’ll grumble.

— No one else is allowed to touch you.

And I mean no one.

You’ve been yanked away from high fives.

And guarded from shoulder pats.

Don’t get me started on hugs.

Your godly parent isn’t even allowed to touch you.

You fear that he’ll get incinerated for being disrespectful one day…

“Dearest son, will you please keep your boyfriend in check?”

“He’snotmyboyriendbutyesI’lltrysorryforhisbehavior—”

Clarisse loves to toy with this.

You wish she wouldn’t.

But she does anyway.

“What are you, Cerberus?”

Nico almost caused the ground to swallow her.

“Get your dog a leash, (L/N)!”

It’s an absolute nightmare to deal with when you’re hurt.

“Nico, please. Chiron’s just looking at my leg— NICO, DON’T BITE CHIRON. WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU—”

On the flip side, this proves useful while you’re on quests.

You can’t remember the last time a monster has managed to even slightly graze you.

“Must be nice having your very own protector,” Piper sighs as she takes in some ambrosia.

“Just have to find the right obsessive weirdo,” you shrugged as Nico wrapped his limbs around you.

— Overall, he’s not the worst bizarre gremlin out there.

He can manipulate his way into staying by your side, sure…

… and he somehow always gets his way…

But he’s adorable enough that you let it slide.

Besides, it’s kind of hard to put your foot down when he just won’t listen.

“Nico, I don’t think you can come along on this quest…”

He comes along anyway.

“Nico, people are staring… can you not?”

He continues to zip himself up in your jacket… with you still in it.

“Nico— YOU CAN’T COME IN THE SHOWERS WITH ME.”

He climbed on your back like a koala, leaving you no choice (you had to explain to Leo that nothing like that happened after he saw the two of you enter a stall together).

It took a while, but you eventually got used to the parasite that clung onto you a while back.

You know what they say; give an inch, they’ll take a mile…
