"Don't be so rude to yourself, Printer." He guides both of them to the trees, sitting below one of them. "School can be really tough. When I used to study, I skipped most of my classes. The kids weren't really kind to me, mostly because I was the gay awkward guy. Are they still that mean?" He asks, almost expecting a negative response. Nico is trying to be more positive about the world.

"I know you would. It's okay, I'm getting better." He smiles. "I'm glad that you can see that they're saying mean things and that you don't agree with that." He says, softly. "My sisters are everything to me." Nico runs his hand over the grass. "I owe everything to you." He looks forward. "But what about the subjects? When I was younger, I used to like mathematics."

Who's the child?

well which one of us dresses in all black

😢

They need to take me back to the lab

you have to assume that everything i say on here is a joke unless it isnt and if youre not sure you can always ask. and i'll probably lie

I missed you, dad. 🖤

*hugs* I love you kids. You know that, right?

Of course we know, dad. ' Hugs back.

*Sits with him* So tell me, how have you been? Still with the sunshine spawn?

– Yes. – Nico blushes, looking away. – I'm okay, I mean, Mr. D said I'm getting better at dealing with what life is about. – he shrinks, pressing his knees to his chest. – What about you?

I'm proud of that, kiddo. *Leans back* For me? I... I miss your stepmother. A lot. She's... my entire world. And Cerberus has been a handful lately. *turns* Where is all this coming from, Nico?

– I can imagine. – he softly closes his eyes, opening it again when he feels ready to respond. – I just wanted to talk to you. It feels great talking to someone who understands me.

I'll always be there for you, Nico. Thick and thin.

– Thanks, dad. – Nico says, looking down. – I was wondering if I could stay just for a while here. The camp is too loud right now since summer arrived.

Of course. I never was a fan of loud spaces either at your age. Once locked myself in a room at one of Zeus's parties because people were getting drunk and roudy and I couldn't get to my car. I was terrified they were gonna hurt me. I blacked out on the floor from panic. Your stepmother found me.

Yeah. *Thinks for a second, then turns* I'm curious. What do you do for your anxiety? I wonder if we do different things to prevent a panic attack.

Hm... If I'm being honest, I didn't know how to handle it when I was younger. I think I still don't know. I throw myself into work and try not to think on it. In meetings, I use this. *Shows him a black stim pain roller* It... Helps, a bit.

Sure. That sounds lovely. *Cerberus lays in his lap* Oh, there you are, buddy. My main help with anxiety.

"Yeah. Cerby is my best friend. He found me." *Looks over* "I was roughly 14 in god years at the end of the Titanomachy. A traumatized kid shunned down here to be king. There was nothing built then. No shelter. Kronos was the only thing that stayed in the pit. And one day, I was exhausted and rested under some rocks, and he found me. Protected me so I could sleep." *Throws a ball to Cerberus* "I owe everything to him."

"That's really sweet, kiddo. And I'm sure Will helps with that too." *nudges him* "Feel free to share details."

"He's a keeper, then. Felt the same abo—" *Realizes Cerberus hasn't come back yet with the ball* "Cerby? Cerberus?!"

"Wait- where's he?" Nico says as he squints his eyes, trying to find the dog (that shouldn't be that hard to find). He gets closer to his dad, looking in the same direction. "Does he usually do that? Maybe he just got distracted by something..." At this point, Nico is trying to convince himself that nothing bad happened.

"No, he never really runs off..." *Starts going in the direction Cerberus went* "Cerby?! Cerby! I didn't think I threw it that far!"

"Should we seek for him, dad?" Nico asks, holding a worried look on his face. "I don't want anything bad to happen to him."

"Yeah. I'm getting scared. CERBERUS?!"

Nico still didn't get to move, and when he was about to get his sword, Cerberus appeared with the ball in his mouth, running right to his dad. Nico's expression quickly changed to one of relief, looking at how happy the dog seemed to be. "I think you underestimated your strength, dad." Nico says, almost laughing. "You shouldn't forget that you're a god."
