"These nights..." Nico whispered. "What are they? What are we?"
Of course, there was no reply. Nico didn't know why he was expecting one. Will was laying beside him, back turned toward Nico. And Nico had been up next to him, but now he was staring at the ceiling, hands limp at his sides, wondering what they were.
What was this? These words that were whispered at night...I love you's and forever's...they didn't exist in the daylight. They were only here, in the darkness of the Hades cabin, whispered to each other in the heat of the moment. Now that moment had died down and Nico had started to think again. Think about what was happening. Which, naturally, Nico had no clue about.
Will stirred beside Nico, and Nico glanced over at him. Nico could make out the shape of his lips, those lips that had touched his own earlier, those lips he only got to know when they were covered with the blanket of night.
What were they? They were spinning in circles, getting nowhere. They were two boys who were different people at night than during the day. Nico wondered if this was every going to go anywhere...or would it be like this forever? That forever that Will had whispered to Nico before, did that forever only exist in the dark? It sure seemed like it.
Nico wished they were something more than secret kisses under the sheets, but what could he do? He had Will, even if he only had him at night, but at least it was something. Nico wanted to change it, but why risk what he had for something more? The risks were too great, the rewards not good enough. So Nico pulled himself out of his thoughts, and back into his nights with Will.
