Nico's POV:

The halls of the castle were silent and empty, as they should be at this time of the night.

That dreaded meeting went on way too long as they usually did, leaving me tired and in a bad mood.

Luckily it was the last one for a while, finally giving me the ability to tend to other things in my life.

I paused once I reached my door, wondering if Khloe was asleep in there.

She better be, it would be unhealthy for her if she wasn't.

I know that she has difficulty sleeping without me, but maybe the safety of my room was enough to get her to sleep.

Being as late as it was, maybe exhaustion alone would have put her to sleep.

    Nico's POV:My first day of not having to do anything had gone well so far.For the first time in a while, I felt stress-free and actually had the capability to relax.I leaned further back against the headboard, stretching out my back.It was refreshing.Hopefully I'll never have to be the one in charge of that again. Maybe they'll make Xander do it next time.I smiled a bit, shifting the toothpick from breakfast around my mouth with my tongue.Doubtful, but that would be fun to watch.I turned my head towards the bathroom door as Khloe exited out of it.Her hair wa

    Nico's POV:Khloe's mood hasn't changed for a couple of days.She still just been ridiculously quiet and avoidant.Normally I would just think that this was something that would just blow over, or that she would get over whatever was bothering her.But it was still evident, even more so than before.And I was becoming more and more worried about her.She wasn't even eating all of her food during any of the meals and would eat slowly as if she was forcing herself to. Not to mention that she was taking exceptionally long to fall asleep and stay asleep.I turned my chair so that I was facing her.She was sitting in

    Nico's POV:Silence.The room fell into complete silence as soon as she asked that question.The first question in a while to catch me so off guard that it left me speechless.Khloe's first tear fell from her eye as she stared at me, waiting for an answer.An answer that I had no idea how to say.I opened my mouth only to have nothing come out.My mind was too full of rushing thoughts to come up with a decent answer.Apparently, Khloe took my struggling silence as a queue to elaborate further."I know it's a weird request b-but I," She looked away from me, sniffling

    Nico's POV: Khloe has been.... better since our little conversation. It took a couple days but she's almost back to how she was before. Which was nice but it almost felt as if she just passed her worry about the subject onto me. Now I was worried about something that wasn't supposed to happen for years. I guess that aspect of things made me understand more about Khloe felt about this whole situation. She knew that she couldn't run from the inevitable, and well, now neither can I. It's not like I could just back out of what I said, that would just make her start worrying all over again. ill have to figure

    Khloe's POV:I stared at myself in the bathroom mirror, running my hands down my sides to smoothen out the fabric of the dress.It looked amazing.Nico was right about that seamstress. The fact that she could pull off an exact copy from just a drawing completely amazed me.Everything was exactly how I envisioned it if not better. Even every pearl was perfectly placed.I toyed with the jewel hanging from the necklace as I took a step back, allowing more of myself to be seen in the mirror.The step I took was slow since I wasn't used to the large heels I was wearing.My eyes ran over my entire body, trying to decide how I felt about this dress.

    Nicos POV:Khloe has been in the bathroom a lot longer than necessary. Even I knew that it didn't take a girl this long to put on a dress, and I was beginning to become impatient.Not because she was taking a long time, but because I already knew full well that she had already changed.I knew that she was probably just looking herself over, finding something that she was insecure about, and second-guessing her dress choice because of it.Insecurities that I still didn't understand why she had.I leaned back, setting my arms on the bed for support.I mostly just hoped that she wouldn't chicken out on showing it to me because of them. I wasn't going to let those ridiculous thoughts of hers stay in her he

    Nico's POV:Khloe slowly set her hand in mine, apparently unsure of what to initially think about what we were going to do.She looked unsurprisingly nervous and red-faced, probably worried already that she was going to mess up.Well of course she was, No one could expect her to be automatically good at something that they've never done before, not to mention how difficult those heals are going to be.I gestured her to step forward, having her close the distance between us a bit.Her eyes followed my hand as I guided her own to my shoulder, before placing my own on her waist.The later action made her stiffen and made her nervousness even more evident.I tr

Hell?I had a lot of questions flying through my head but those three words summed them all up pretty well.What the hell did I just do?Why did I just do it?Why with her?These questions kept repeating themselves in my head, even though I already knew the answer to all of them.I knew the answers but part of me didn't want to know them.B

    Khloe's POV:I woke up exactly where I should have, wrapped in Nico's arms.Well, I don't think Nico would consider this being wrapped in his arms.He was very upset last night that the wounds on my back prevented him from being able to hold me like he usually did, but he eventually settled with his hand on my lower back.I for one didn't care either way, as long as I was touching him in some way I was happy.I opened my eyes to scan the room, noticing that it was a lot darker than it usually was whenever I woke up.Nico's slow and steady breaths were the next thing that caught my attention.

    Khloe's POV:The world around me was calm as my consciousness came back to me.My body was warm and comfortable, a feeling that automatically told me that I was in Nico's bed.Memories of what had happened began to flash in my mind, forcing me to open my eyes, my heart skipping a beat at the thought that I had just passed out from the pain.What I saw, however, denied that thought.I was lying facing the bathroom, seeing Nico sitting in his desk chair.He was facing me, but he wasn't looking at me.Instead, he was hunched over, elbows set on his knees and his palms pressed against his forehead. His hair fell
