23 | Reynico

Everyone, I am so flamin sorry for not updating! I've been busy with writing my other THALICO story, so I haven't had the chance to do this. Thanks to for the request @roag123! Enjoy!

"I will never leave you. I swear it on the River Styx."

I closed my eyes and counted to ten, trying so hard not to let my tears fall. They hung back in my eyes, making them sting. My mouth felt dry, my heart felt broken. I breathed in and out slowly.

Don't cry. Be strong. Don't cry.

I still remember that day, when we were in Camp Jupiter.

I was chasing him as he had stolen my drink bottle. I caught up to him, grabbed it off him and glared at him. We stared into each other's eyes and I felt my glare softening. His dark obsidian eyes were amazing. I was lost in them, and then we were just inches apart. His breath tickled my cheek and sent shivers down my spine. I closed my eyes as our lips collided. Fireworks exploded and my brain melted to the ground. My fingers tangled in his hair and when we pulled apart, I looked into his eyes as I leaned my forehead on his. He had whispered something to me that I will never forget.

I will never leave you. I swear it on the River Styx.

A tear fell, rolling down my cheek where the happy tears I shared with him had fallen many times before, and will never fall again. I wiped it away, the same thought ringing in my mind.

Don't cry. Be strong. Don't cry.

I pulled my knees to chest as I sat in his bed, clutching the sheets, wishing I could feel his touch again. I wish I could see his face, hear his laugh, smell his amazing scent. I hugged my chest, at least glad that I had his smell, his shirt. I laid down on the bed, softly laying my head on his pillow.

Another tear fell, I wiped it. Then another, I wiped that one. Then another. Then another. Slowly they overtook me, and I realised I couldn't keep it in.

I sobbed into his pillow, but that only brought back another memory of him.

It was about twelve o'clock at night. It was pouring, thundering and lightning flashed across the sky. I had ran from the praetor's barracks to where he slept, in his own barrack. I found him asleep in his bed, a little drool dribbling out from his mouth. I ran to him and shook him awake. He opened his eyes and when he saw me with my scared look on my face, he pulled me into my arms. "What's the matter, Rey-Rey?" He whispered, rocking me gently. I sighed, I didn't want to seem weak. "I-I'm scared of the thunder. I know, it sounds so stupid. The praetor of New Rome-" He put his finger to my lips and whispered, "It doesn't matter, Reyna. It doesn't matter that you're scared. Everyone's scared of something." I snuggled into his chest as he leaned against his bed head, both of us slowly falling asleep, me feeling safe in his arms.

I heard a knock at the door. "Reyna?" I didn't bother to lift my head. I didn't bother to answer. I just layed there, waiting for whoever it was to come in, tell it was okay, at least he's not in pain and all that crap. But he is, he swore on the River Styx. And he broke that promise. It's my fault. My fault that he's dead.

"Reyna, we're having his burning now, if you wanted to come." I think I recognised the voice as Annabeth's but I didn't really care.

I didn't answer. I was frozen. I saw a picture on his bed stand, one of him and I. It was when I was laughing, he had his arms around me, a huge grin plastered on his face. I remember I was the first one to make him grin since the war two years ago.

I heard Annabeth leave, but I still stayed frozen, staring at the picture.

The day he died, the day he left me, was the worst day of my life. It was a chilling winter day, the snow packed on the mountains around us. We were on a quest, not too important. A Titan, forgotten the freaking Hell its stupid name was, but he had appeared out of no where, swinging a huge club. He swung at me and I fell to ground, and I felt the air being ripping from my lungs. I remember seeing him I front of me, protecting me. Until a huge fist came flying toward him, knocking him to the side, blood rushing down the side of his head. I remember the boom of his laugh and his limp body laying, not moving. All of a sudden, I had felt the energy to breathe and I stood up, furiously slashing at the monster, screaming and yelling. When it had turned to dust with a furious cry, I ran to him. He lay, his eyes open, a huge gash in his head. I put his head in my lap and frantically searched for necta and ambrosia. But it had been used up. "Oh Gods, Oh Gods." I sobbed, brushing the hair out of his eyes as he stared up into mine. He took my hand and whispered, "It's okay, it's time, Reyna. I love you, more than anything I have ever loved. Never forget me." I sobbed and kissed him, he started to kiss back, tears rushing down both our faces. Then he stopped, and his body went limp in my arms.

I cried. I screamed. I sobbed. I cried until I couldn't cry anymore. I screamed until I had no voice. I sobbed until my body felt weak. And I loved Nico di Angelo until I died.

So here it is! Hope you all liked it and please leave more requests! I love doing Reynico! If you want this chappie to have a good ending, just comment and I'll make a part 2, coz I have a good idea. See yas!
