Soulmark AU

In this universe everyone gets a mark/tattoo that represents them when they turn 13. When you fall in love with someone their soul mark appears on your skin, it doesn't go away even if you fall out of love. Everyone's soul mark is different and very distinguishable. Also this is in the cannon Riordan universe until the end of BoO. This is the longest thing I've ever written so buckle up, it's over 22,000 words. ⚠️ALSO MAJOR TRIGGER  WARNING FOR: Self harm (not cutting), anxiety/panic attacks, talk of eating disorders, talk of depression, anxiety, and ptsd. ⚠️

Nico's POV
I finally got the okay from Will and the other Apollo kids to leave the infirmary. Thank the gods. I'd stayed the whole three days Will asked of me, but they were horrible.
When I agreed to stay I thought I'd just draw in my room, sleep, and maybe talk to Will. But Will was always busy with all the other patients. Which makes sense, we did just have a sort of war.

He would sometimes come into my room at night to check on me. He looked more  exhausted every time I saw him. He'd come in the room and ask me how I was feeling. He'd do a quick little check up with his Apollo-powers, then he'd leave to check on someone else.

Sometimes it felt like he wanted to stay longer. Probably because I wasn't actually too badly injured and he didn't have to pay too much attention to me. I was like a quick break from his stressful day or something.
I didn't mind though, him spending time with me shows that he's not afraid of me. He's not afraid of my power or the fact that I let Octavian die. I still feel shitty about that. As much as I hate that bastard- and I hate him- no one actually deserves to die. Hopefully he's okay with my dad. Not too okay though.

So I start to walk back to my cabin alone. Most of the Camp Jupiter campers went back, including Hazel and Frank, but not Jason. He's staying for a bit. I think he wants to work on a way to connect the two camps. Which honestly, might be nice.

I see him sitting in the strawberry field by himself, he's looking up at the sky. I walk over and sit down next to him.

"Hey Nico," he said, barely turning his head.
"Hey, you okay?" Jason continued to stare before looking at me.
"I just miss Leo." He smiled, but it was sad. Jason wasn't one for smiling in general, but especially not sad smiles. He looked back at the sky.

I know him and Leo were really close, best friends I think. Something is still off in that situation, I swear I felt him die but he's not dead? It's all very confusing.

I scoot closer and wrap my arm around his back, he takes the invite to put his head on my shoulder. I'm not big on physical touch, as Jason knows, but I like it when it's the right situation. And he needs this right now.

We sit there for a while talking about our favorite memories of him, Jason actually lets a few tears fall. I miss Leo too. I was never super close with him, but he was still my friend. He's a good guy too. It really is a tragedy what happened.

I hope that Jason knows he's not alone in this. All of us are grieving right now. He should know that any of us are here for him if he needs it. I'm not used to touching people, or comforting them. Jason seems to appreciate it though, and after all he's done for me, I can do this for him. He's like my brother now. I've never had a brother, but I really like having Jason. Especially since Hazel left. I hate that she's so far away from me, it reminds me too much of Bianca leaving. But I trust Hazel, she'll come back. She has to.

After sitting together in that sadness for a while, we head to dinner and we sit at our respective, lonely tables. I don't talk to anyone most dinners. Everyone is with their siblings. Sometimes Percy, Jason, and I will all sit together but that's usually only if there's important information to be spread.
