Syncretism: Chapter XXX - The New Hope

Pairings: Percy Jackson/Nico di Angelo

Rating: M

Chapter summary:

He became used to the idea that he was wanting for things that weren’t meant for him to have, so he decided to close his heart to avoid further pain, welcoming only misery in his life and letting it drag him to the rock bottom. He laid there, in the coldness and darkness, all alone. Misery was his company, and so was loneliness. Loneliness could only leave him numb; that was much better than pain. He was convinced that it was the only way to live his life. But Percy claimed otherwise. He begged to differ.

Percy held out his hand.

He didn’t pull Nico out, no. But he held Nico’s hand as the latter started searching for pieces of himself within his own ruins. He held Nico’s hand as Nico navigated through this complicated journey called life.

It was just the warmth of his hand and his presence, but it was all that Nico ever needed. Because in spite of everything, he stayed. For Nico, he stayed.
