[ Would it matter that Sasuke spent all that time trying to kill his brother where Nico spent it trying to bring his sister back? Probably not if he heard the whole story.
Both of their older siblings tried to do what was best in the end, both of them had been loved and lost and they had even gotten a second chance to talk to them. The similarities in their history would not be lost on Nico.
Sounds as if they have something in common even now the way the man talks about the idiot blond in his life and Nico idly wonders if this is what he'll be like if he manages to grow up. To be patient and caring even for a complete stranger, keep his cool and offer guidance to someone who reminds him of his hard years. To be able to smile a little easier and mean it. (And truthfully, pretty cool.)
Maybe that's exactly what Nico will be like as an adult but only if he doesn't keep pushing everyone away. If he lets people like Will be apart of his life or do something stupid such as use his abilities too much and end up dying young.
His head turns so the kid can look up at Sasuke with a hint of curiosity. ]
Is it harder when he's not around? [ It being everything from finding that place to be or pushing others away or not pulling risky stunts or finding where he can belong because this kid is only just starting out on that journey.
Nico might not be here alone but Percy isn't Will and that's a whole different can of worms he's still trying to deal with. ]
