Bold is when someone else is talking

Normal text is the person whose pov is going on.

Nico's Pov 💀💀💀

"Will?"

"Nico," Will replies, his voice cracking, which is very unlikely for a child of Apollo.

"What are you doing here? Why are you invading my dreams!?!?" I ask, feeling... well, happy, relieved, and surprised.

"Nico, listen. My dad made this... haven type thing," Will says, gesturing to the domed roof room.

Dam, this room has clouds.

"He thinks we make a good couple,"

 "Couple!! We aren't a couple!?!?" I cut him off

"I know, I know, but what can I do?" There is an awkward silence between us.

"So, can we wake up?"

"I don't think so. Someone has to physically wake one of us up, and then the other one will automatically wake up."

"Well, that's unfortunate," I sigh, but on the inside, I feel happy that I can spend time with Will, even in my dreams!

Will looks hurt for a second but then quickly recovers before I can think about it.

"So... what do you want to talk about?"

"I dunno?" I shrug.

"Do you have any siblings or cousins?"

That hit a soft spot in Nico's heart as he remembered about Bianca. Even though he was not there when she died, he could imagine her motionless body on the ground with her eyes bleeding dried up tears.

I couldn't stop my own tears well in my eyes. Will noticed this and enveloped me in a hug. His arms snaked around my thin frame. My instinct told me to shove him off, but it felt nice to be held in someone else's arms. I bury my face in his chest and cry silently. My body trembles, and my knees give away, but Will holds me tight.

"Shhh... It's ok, Neeks. No one can harm you. I won't let anyone harm you. You're safe in my arms." Will comforts me, and I press myself against him more. I sniffle, my breath hitches, and lean to his touch.

I step away from him after a few moments that could have been seconds, minutes, decades... It didn't really matter to me, though.

"Thanks." I sniffle and wipe my eyes with the sleeves of my T.

"No problem, Death Boy."

I chuckle at the nickname and give him a playful glare.

"Someone likes their new name!" Will teases with a smirk.

"Shut up," I say with a smile.

Will's Pov ☀️☀️☀️

I feel someone shaking me. I gasp, and my eyes startle awake to find Austin's goofy grin clouding my vision. I put a hand up to block the sunlight spilling from the window.

"What the frick, Austin!"

"Having a great time with Nico?" He teases with a smirk.

"Yeah, I actually was! Did you have to wake me up?" I grumble in my bed.

"I did... Some kid from the Demeter cabin cut off their fricking arm!"

I groan and get out of bed.

"How do demigods manage this?" I whisper to myself while running off to the infirmary.
