also to people who have asked, no i do not intend to fix the typos in my fic. your lucky enough that i'm not deleting it. this fic is kinda just here bc, tho i may lowkey hate it, it is my very first fanfic and i kinda wanna keep it in horrible mint condition.


Nico wakes up in his cabin, the first couple morning rays glowing dimly. Nico dresses in his 'comforting' darkness, it flickers and blinks but remains firm. No matter how lighter it is, no matter how bright, Nico still wouldn't really be able to see.

Nico walks out of his cabin and calls up Zigzag, the ghost of some other teenager. Zigzag said he looked white, had hazle eyes, freckles and loosely curly dark brown hair atop his head. The description of loosely had made a lot more sense when Nico had touched it. Big juice can curls at the front, half formed ones at the sides and it stuck up at the back,straight and fluffy.

"Soo ere are we going?" Zigzag says as they hook their arms through his. (so where are we going)

" breakfast, Infirmary and then the woods" Nico responds as he's guided to the Hades table.

Wishing up some toast to eat and Orange juice to drink. Zigzag poke's his cheek and leans over to whisper in his ear.

"boy-boy-boyfriend alert frowny!" (boyfriend)

why ghosts whisper-shout things when nobody but him could hear them was beyond him.Will's not dead aura, slightly expanded by sunshine glowing around, comes bouncing into "veiw". Nico smiles at Will,Zigzag moves his face up so he's "staring" more directly at him.

" Hi sunshine! you have breakfast yet?"

Nico can almost feel the excitement and happiness radiating off of Will.

" Hello, yes, I ate and did you?"

Will's not dead aura does the " I am LITERALLY glowing with happiness, look i'm radiating sunshine" thing and Will giggles.

" yeah I ate, well... I gotta go back to the infirmary before anything else happens or someone breaks something " Willed sighs, a bit put out and exasperated.

" Anything else? how can you know what may have happened if your not there? " Nico's eyebrows quirk,amusement marking his face.

Will's not dead aura hands throw up in a "whhhhhy me?!?!" gesture.

" because they always and I mean always do something before I come back! and then they have the gaul to look at me with that face!"

Nico bites his bottom lip to avoid any giggles from surfacing.

" which face, doctor solace?" Nico tries to keep his voice light and not mocking, no, definitely not mocking in the slightest.

" the I didn't mean to. oh me? it def wasn't myyyyy fault. oh look what trouble i have caused you! i'm not guilty in the slightest. how could you say such accusatory things as I sit in, oh, I don't know, two liters of spilled saline. the, it's not my fault! stop looking at me with that shade Will, face. "

Zigzag grabs his hand, putting it on Will's shoulder, moving his hand to pat him consolingly. Will sighs and kisses his cheek.

" see you later neeks"

...

"oh my god! your face is sooooo red!" Zigzag cackles in his ear.


His cabin was a quite place filled with an undefinable sense of cold. The lack of siblings macking it feel constricting and unmovable.
Well, that was how it was usually but usually Leo wasn't in it, crying.
