Dead in Love (Nico x Reader)

My Everything.

A dialogue inspired by Irreplaceable You.

  A tear slid down my cheek. "Nico, I shouldn't stay around and hold you down like this."

  "Who put that idea in your head?" he replied, confused.

  "You know it's true," I shook my head sadly.

  "I don't know what you think I know, but it's not that," he moved toward me.

  I shook my head again, not meeting his eyes.

  "Don't give me that," Nico said.

  "It's the truth and you know it."

  "I don't give a fuck about this so-called truth," He snapped.

  "You have all the right to be angry at me for pushing you away like I have been, but I'm doing it because you need to let me go."

  "I'll let you go when I'm dead."

  "You're going to have to when I die," I almost whispered.

  "Don't go around throwing that in my face like you don't think that I haven't had nightmares about you die."

  "Take the ring back," I slid my engagement ring off my finger and held it out to him, "just, give it to someone who isn't terminally sick."

  "Stop it, stop it. Stop. It." Nico ran an angry hand through his pitch black hair.

  "You know I can't," I said gently, my hand still held out.

  "I am not giving up, even when you're somewhere down in the underworld I will kill Cerberus with my bare hands if I have to." Nico reached out, shaking, to touch my face. "You are the best thing that has come out of my stupid demigod life. You are my light, my world, my everything. I'm not going to let some 'un-curable' mortal illness take you away from me. After all, we've been through I refuse."

  "You're everything?" I repeated almost blissfully.

  "Yes," Nico agreed, his voice soft like his hand on my cheek. I reached up and cupped it with mine.

  "I'm sorry."

Haunted part 2 should be out in the coming week, no promises though.
