Chapter Text
The last rays of the sun hit Nico in the face as it began to disappear under the horizon. He watched as his sister, with a big grin on her face, opened the door of their small Bungalow.
"Bianca you have no idea-"
She cut Nico off mid-sentence, "I'm your sister Nico, I wouldn't have left you there."
Bianca gave him one of her warm smiles, Nico couldn't help to smile back. He wasn't really the type of person to smile a lot- given the situation that his life was in, but then again... Bianca went through the same things as him but there she was, smiling.
The interior was more than what Nico expected. Instead of peeling paint and a single, broken light bulb, the Bungalow was sparkling clean and there was even a lamp in the corner.
The kitchen included a stove, a small fridge and two cabinets. A counter separated the kitchen and the living room, which was basically just a sofa and an empty bookshelf.
It might've been a small space, but Nico appreciated Bianca's efforts. She could have left him at the orphanage, but instead, she worked her ass off to get Nico's custody. In the back of his mind, he felt guilty that Bianca had to do all this for him.
The bedroom was nothing more than a bunk bed, a wardrobe and a door leading to an even smaller bathroom. It didn't take long to move in, they didn't have much anyway.
Nico walked out of the bedroom, when he noticed a door leading to the back of the house. He opened it to reveal a backyard that was only a few metres long with grass that was partly dead. Well, Nico thought, at least it makes up for the lack of TV.
He did his best to help his sister with dinner. It felt good to eat dinner with her, it almost felt as if they were a normal family.
"So," Bianca began, "what do you think of our mansion?"
"It's so big I almost got lost." Nico joked back.
"Apart from that, everything is perfect."
"What about the food? I hired a very skilled chef you know"
Nico chuckled, "The food is a bit too salty."
Bianca made an exaggerated shocked expression.
"Is that so? I'll fire this chef immediately!"
After dinner, Bianca did the dishes as Nico cleaned the table.
"You can claim the top bed if you want"
"You're the best." Nico hugged his sister.
They hung out in the living room for a while before going to sleep.
"Goodnight." Nico said before climbing up the top bunk.
"Goodnight."
After this amazing day, Nico slept like a baby.
SIKE
Of course, because that's how Nico's life was, he just had to have nightmares that night.
