《Nico di Angelo x Reader Oneshots》39: Catching Fireflies
Advertisement
"Let's go, (Y/n)!" Nico grabbed my arm and started running through camp.
"Calm yourself," I laughed as he continued running excitedly.
He glanced back at me and grinned, pulling me into a clearing.
I gasped excitedly. "Fireflies!"
"I know! I saw them last night, but you were already asleep in your cabin by the time I found you."
"Dude, this is sick as frick," I awed. All the fireflies looked like tiny stars at hand's reach.
I looked back at Nico, who was holding up a clear glass jar and smirking at me.
"Care to bottle the stars with me?" He said rather poetically.
"Pass me the jar," I replied, matching his tone.
We grinned at each other.
He unscrewed the lid, and our adventure began.
We jumped through the grassy area, reaching for the tiny beacons of light.
Our eyes shined as bright as the stars, and our hearts were as light as the lively atmosphere around us.
We laughed and cried out in excitement to our hearts' content.
After the adrenaline of the night died down, Nico and I sat down beside each other on a grassy hill overlooking Long Island Sound.
I held the jar of fireflies in my lap. "This one's name is Jeffrey," I said, breaking the silence and pointing at one of the fireflies in the jar.
"Why that one? It shines the least bright," Nico observed.
"Hey, don't be mean to Jeffrey. He's trying his best."
He looked at me in adoration and smiled warmly. "You're adorable."
"Thank you. Now apologize to Jeffrey," I replied, holding up the jar to his face.
"Sorry, Jeffrey."

The Adventures of Rat Damon
12/20/2021: we're back to work! Rat Damon reflects on his life of adventuring, both before and after meeting Jack Jensen of earth. He recounts many of his experiences, both happy and sad. He regales you with the tales of power found and love lost. This is a side-adventure based on our The Other Guys series. Rat Damon makes an appearance in Heroes of Last Resort but is much more than a simple rat. What I will post here is going to be a lot rougher than Heroes as I am writing and posting as I go along, so my apologies go out to you in advance! However, I will revise as needed as we go along. As writing isn't my full-time gig, the posting of new material here will likely be a bit irregular and as far as what length this book will be, it remains to be seen. This was originally envisioned to be a 30-40k word novella but one never knows where the story will take me. Do not fret, book 2 in the series is well on its way, in fact much farther along than this novel(la?). We will see where Rat Damon takes, I guess! Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoy this as much as I had writing it.
