Part 20

I sighed, sinking down into my seat.

Flying was not my thing. Zeus didn't have anything against me but I was still a son of Hades.

I knew he wasn't going to strike to plan out of the sky, especially because Jason was also in the plane. He was sitting in the front while me and Will were closer to the back.

"You okay?" Will asked, sitting down next to me.

"Yeah, I'm f-" I stopped myself, remembering what we had promised a couple hours before, "Flying just makes me nervous."

"I know Neeks," he said, taking my hand, "but it'll be okay."

"I know, it doesn't help though," I whispered, laying my head on his shoulder. I closed my eyes, squeezing his hand.

Part of me was still nervous about the future. I didn't want the same thing to happen that had happened a couple years ago.

"Hey, hey, Nico,"

"I'm sorry, i'm sorry," I pulled away, letting go of his hand. I rubbed my eyes, trying to keep the tears in my eyes.

"Hey shh, don't apologize," he took my hand again, and kissed it.

"I-" I started but he pressed his finger to my lips, stopping me.

"It's okay Nico, you don't have to say anything,"

I opened my mouth but then stopped myself. I nodded, intertwining my fingers with his. 

"I love you," I whispered, kissing his lips.

"I love you to Death Boy," He smiled as i pulled away.

"Don't make me question it Sunshine," I rolled my eyes, laying my head on his shoulder again. I brought my legs up on the chair, squeezing his hand.

Will slipped his hand into his pocket, pulling out his airpods and his phone. He connected them, taking them out of the case.

"Here," he held one out towards me.

"Your music taste sucks," I rolled my eyes as i spoke but i took it.

"Uh huh and so does yours," he laughed, popping an airpod into his ear.

I smiled slightly, putting an earbud into my own ear. I closed my eyes, listening to the song. I pretended to hate his music but i didn't think it was that bad.

" I don't want to seem the way i do,

but i'm confident when i'm with you

lately all i feel is bad and bruised 

tired of tripping on my shoes,

but when he loves me i feel like i'm floating 

when he calls me pretty i feel like somebody,"

My smile grew at the lyrics. This was one of my favourite songs that Will had shown me. He had shown it to me when we first started dating, 6 years ago, but i had stayed away from it once we broke up. I loved how it reminded me of him. And now I was able to listen to it without wanting to cry.

"Even when we fade eventually to nothing,

You will always be my favourite form of loving,

When i start to tumble from the sky,

You remind me how to fly,

Lately i've been feeling unalive

but you bring me back to life,

But when be loves me i feel like i'm floating,

when he calls me pretty i feel like somebody,

even when we fade eventually to nothing,

you will always be my favourite form of loving,"
