Nico's Point

After hanging up the phone I slowly and carefully got up with Will and walked to his room that luckily had the door open.

I walked in and gently laid him down on his bed then I walked back to the kitchen and grabbed a washcloth to clean off his face since I had grabbed it before I wrapped my injury.

I ran the washcloth under the sink then wrung it out and walked back to his room and sat down on the side of his bed and carefully washed his face.

When I was done I tried to get up but only got half way because Will had a hold of my shirt and as I tried to pull my shirt away he pulled me closer and me fall back on to the bed.

As I laid there trying to make Will let go I saw Percy walk by the door.

"Percy!" I yelled in a whisper trying to get his attention but also trying not to wake Will up.

"Nico?" Percy asked as he turned to look at me

"What are you doing in Will's room?" Percy asked

"It's a long story, but he grabbed a hold of my shirt and I can't get him to let go" I said

"Then just sleep in his room tonight" Percy said

"I can't do that!" I yelled a little to loud making Will move a little

"Why not? Your both men so it's not like there's anything wrong with it" Percy said

"Why can't anything go into your clueless head?" I snapped

"I really don't see the issue" Percy said

"Hang on, did you just get back?" I asked

"Yeah" Percy said

"It's almost one in the morning what were you doing out so late?" I asked

"I'll just close the door and let you sleep, you sound a little cranky" Percy said as he closed the door.

I told myself I was going to kill him some day.

After a few more minutes of trying to pull away I gave into defeat and laid down next to Will and eventually fell asleep.

Will's Point

I woke in the morning with an arm laying across me. I slowly turned to see Nico sleeping next to me.

As I laid there I thought of how happy this would have made me if I hadn't of had the night I did last night and as I thought that Nico moved his hands up my back and pulled me to him so that he held me close in a hug the main problem with this was that he ended up moving his hands up the back of my shirt and although all bad thoughts left my face started to heat up, then Nico decided to nuzzle into my chest and smile making me wish I could see he sleep everyday when I woke because he was really cute in his sleep.

After a few more moments Nico slowly opened his eyes and looked up at me before he seemed to realize he was hugging me and quickly let go and move so that he was right next to me his face a little red.

"Did you stay with me all night?" I asked

"Well you wouldn't let go of my shirt after I got you in bed so I kinda had to" Nico said

"Oh" I said slightly disappointed

"Not that I would have wanted to leave had you not. I was planning on sleeping on a chair or something just-just in case you ended up needing something" Nico said and I pulled him back into a hug

"Thank you" I said

"Of course you're someone I care for.....your....your my friend" Nico said

"NICO!" Jason yelled and I pulled away from the hug and turned to see him in the doorway with a worried look.

"Yeah?" Nico asked

"Are you ok? I saw the kitchen this morning and went to check on everyone but you weren't in your room" Jason said

"I'm fine" Nico said as he waved his hand in a really nothings wrong you can go kinda way but he did it with his injured hand making Jason rush over.

"What did you do?!" Jason asked

"Actually I-" I started to say but Nico cut me off

"Will helped me, I had a flashback while getting a drink last night so I dropped the glass and ended up doing this to my hand and Will help wrap it up after he can to see was the noise was" Nico said and I tell you if I didn't already like him I would fell for him.

The fact that he was covering for me and trying not to put me on the spot meant so much to me.

"Why didn't you go get it looked at?" Jason asked

"You know what happened last time I went to the hospital, besides my father would have found out and then you would be dead" Nico said

"Well, try not to worry me like that again" Jason said.

"I'll try" Nico said

"By the way, why are you in Will room?" Jason asked

"I....I was making sure he was all packed" Nico said his face slightly pink

"Then why are you on his bed?" Jason asked

"I wanted to take a look at his hand" I said.

Jason looked like he didn't fully believe us but shook his head and sighed

"I'm going to go clean up and make breakfast" Jason said

"I can clean up" I said

"It's fine, just make sure Nico's hand is ok" Jason said before walking away.

"Well, let me see your hand" I said

"I thought you just said that as a cover" Nico said

"Nico.....you-you got hurt because of me....please" I said and Nico held out his good hand.

"The other one death boy" I said slapping his shoulder in a friendly way

"Alright calmed Sunshine" Nico said with a small laugh before he held out his bad hand

"Sunshine?" I asked

"Well, you know you are....happy and smiling a lot" Nico said his cheeks pink again and he was avoiding eye contact.

"I don't think I'd call last night happy" I said looking down

"Hey" Nico said softly and he placed his hand under my chin, gently lifted my head up and looked me in the eyes.

"Dose the sun always shine?" Nico asked

"No, not always" I said and Nico moved his hand from under my chin to me cheek.

"Then why should you?" Nico asked.
