Title: Let Me Take Care Of You
Pairing: Nico/Rachel
Word Count: 100
Setting: Post-series

She drinks sometimes. You hate when she drinks but she does anyway. She knows she can't even handle three but she keeps at it.

You know why she drinks.

It's because of Apollo's constant flirting and demands for prophecies. It's because of her father's business right now. It's because of the stress demigods cause.

But you both know that when she's stumbling and slurring over her feet and words outside Steam; when all she needs is her bed and a wastebasket ready in the morning, she can count on you. She can count on Nico to take care of her.

And finally another Rico one! So here's the sitch. I was able to read the 13th chapter of Kioko's story Death's Dare (the newest chapter! The newest chapter! I was dolphin-clapping, I was so happy!) and then I realized I couldn't remember a single darned thing from the other chapters of the story so then I read a little bit out of the other chapters and voila! I fell in love with… Nico and … Rachel again and—oh, they're just so beautiful.

So I hope you like this. A different portrayal of Rachel and it's much more mature—it's what I think will eventually happen to her with everything she has to go through.

…Comments? Reviews? Criticism?

Heehee.
