Some Interactions I Think Nico Would Have Had If Bianca Hadn’t Died
Based on this post by @yonemurishiroku on how Nico would still have been that bubbly, cheerful little kid if he hadn’t lost her.
Part 2
Nico, looking at Percy’s infected wound: *Tone delighted* It’s green!
Percy: I know, Nico.
Nico: That’s my favourite colour :D
Percy, gritting his teeth: That’s great, Nico.
Nico, while brutally murdering a Titan: Aww man, you’re not nearly as strong as my cards made you out to be :(
Percy: The last time I asked Mr. D for anything he threatened to turn me into a dolphin! Face it, he hates us.
Nico: He likes me though :))
Percy, sarcastically: Gee, you think he likes you enough to ease up on us just a tad?
Nico: I’ll go ask! :D *Runs off*
*Five Minutes Later*
Nico, coming back: He said no but I brought you a blueberry muffin from the dining hall to make you feel better :)
Percy, taking it: Gee, thanks. 😒
Bianca, as she and Nico run from a monster: Who the hell is this?! *Shoots arrows at it*
Nico: I don’t know!! *Frantically looks through cards* Uhhh, a Laestrygonian? A Hekatonkheire, maybe?
Monster: I! Am! Porphyrion!!! I was created to be Zeus’ replacement, born to destroy the lord of the sky! I shall take his throne. I shall take his wife- or, if she will not have me, I will let the Earth consume her life force!
Nico: Well fudge, you don’t look anything like your card! :(
Bianca: Language!
Nico, miserably: I spent so long not knowing my mother and father, or what happened to them, and now I find my mom is long dead and my own dad hates me :((
Percy, sympathetically: … Heh. Godly parents. They’re the worst, right?
*Thunder booms and lightning flashes somewhere in the background*
Nico, looking up at him in mild shock: Huh?
Percy: Can’t live with ‘em, can’t live without ‘em because they insist on asserting just how “important” they think are and think that everything else must revolve around them somehow.
*Another flash of lightning, this time much closer*
Nico, trying not to laugh: I… I’m pretty sure you’re not allowed to say that…
Percy: Who cares? Listen Nico, forget about what your dad thinks. No one here has a good relationship with their parents, so we look out for each other instead. *Bumps Nico’s shoulder* You’re one of us now, and for the record, I think you’re pretty cool.
Nico:
Nico, in awe and blushing slightly: Thanks, Percy…
Nico, diving behind Annabeth out of the blue: Who’s that?
Annabeth, confused: … Will Solace? He’s from the Apollo Cabin… *Smiles down at Nico, still hiding behind her* Don’t worry, he’s friendly. Wanna go say hi?
Nico: *Eyes widen* I don’t… I’m not good at first impressions. *Shifts awkwardly* He’ll probably think I’m weird.
Annabeth, looking down at him fondly: You wanna know a secret? *Leans down to whisper in his ear* Will is just as much a dork as you are. I’m sure you two would get along great.
Nico: … I’ll see…
Will: *Spots Nico and smiles, waving*
Nico: *Freaks and hides behind Annabeth again*
Will, confused:
Annabeth: *Waves and tries not to laugh*
Nico, upon finding Hazel: Oh my Gods, this is so great. I always wanted a little sister! :D Wait till I tell Bianca-
Percy, barging into The Big House: Yo, Mr. D, we’re- what the fuck?!
Dionysus, playing cards with Nico: *Tone annoyed* What is it now, boy?
Nico: We’re playing Mythomagic together! After this, Mr. D promised to teach me Pinochle. *Puts down card* I win again.
Dionysus: What?! How?!
Nico: My Ares has a higher attack point average than your Demeter card! So I win :)
Dionysus, mumbling angrily: Curses.
Percy, knowing full well Dionysus would smite literally anyone else if they talked to him like that: *Gawks*
Dionysus, stepping into the dining hall: What are you all doing out of your cabins so late at night?
Percy:
Connor:
Travis:
Will:
Nico:
Nico: We’re summoning a ghost :D
Will: *Elbows him*
Nico: Ow! *Rubs at his arm* What did you do that for?!
Dionysus:
Dionysus: I see. Well, carry on. And don’t die. If I have to do paperwork for you ungrateful little mortals one more time so help me, Gods. *Walks off like he didn’t see anything*
Nico, as everyone turns towards him in shock: What?
Percy: We need a ride.
Nico: I got this! :D *Chants ominously, eyes glowing as he raises his hands to the sky*
*A limousine unearths from the ground, the driver’s seat window rolling down to reveal a zombie*
Annabeth, Percy and Grover: *Gawk*
Percy, eventually managing to pick up his jaw: You… you have a zombie chauffer?
Nico: Neat, right? :D
Nico, frantically outrunning danger: I can’t die, Bianca will kill me, then resurrect me, and then kill me again!

look. either you agree with me or you don’t - either way it doesn’t matter - but i truly think that at some point - after time, a lot of heavy conversations, some yelling, and crying, and a whole lot of honesty and apologies from her parents - annabeth and her family would work things out and become semi-close. which means eventually percy would be on good terms with them too.
that said, you cannot convince me otherwise that at some point, probably soon after moving to new rome, percy gets into a screaming match with mr. and mrs. chase about how they treated annabeth. and he absolutely blows out the pipes of every house within a mile radius.
not because annabeth needs him to fight her battles. not because percy thinks he has to fight annabeth’s battles. but because he can’t even begin to grasp how someone could treat a child - their own child - like they treated annabeth. the man who was raised by sally jackson cannot even begin to fathom how they blamed their child for the danger that followed her, and then gaslit her when she went to them for help. he can’t even begin to understand how they put her brothers before her, because now that he has his own little sister, his mom has never been more clear about how much she loves him.
he’s gonna lose his shit.
(“what kind of father doesn’t do everything in his power to protect this child?” “it doesn’t matter that you didn’t sign up for it. it’s your fucking job.” “what kind of monster encourages her husband to turn his back on his 5 year old daughter?” “yeah you didn’t choose to have a child, but she didn’t choose to be born!” “what? did you hear that demigods don’t have long lifespans and were just waiting for her funeral so you could get on with your lives?” “what kind of parents make it clear to their daughter that their new babies are the priority? that she’s a danger to them? that they are more important?” “would you fall into hell to save her?… if your immediate answer isn’t yes, then making you a father was the dumbest thing athena ever did.” “she was a scared little kid. you were supposed to protect her.”)
the minute they try to defend themselves, the chases are getting soaked. and part of that is from peeing their pants with fear becasue we all know how terrifying percy is when he’s angry. and nothing makes him angrier than someone who’s hurt the girl, the woman, who is his entire world.
you cannot convince me otherwise. don’t even try.
