Nightmares (Solangelo)

Chapter One: Let's Watch a Movie, Sunshine.

A.N: So, before I begin, I'd like to add a quick disclaimer that I do not own Percy Jackson or any of the wonderful characters and ships from it. I also do not own the cover, nor any media I may use. One more thing... Please do not hold me responsible for the feels you may feel when reading this story.

Thanks for reading! And, please vote if you enjoy it, this is my first story, and it'd mean a lot if you would vote...

Will's P.O.V

One day left... I thought to myself, sadly. Nico had been in the infirmary for the past two days, and... It's been difficult. Mostly because he was so needy. Though he refuses to admit it.

Every time I bring him a meal, snack, or anything edible, he only eats half of it.

Does he get full easily...? Or does he just enjoy pissing me off...?!

I thought angrily, as I restocked the bandages onto the shelves.

And it certainly didn't help that Nico is utterly adorable, without even realizing it.

How can he even be so freaking cute and not use it to his advantage?!

I snapped out of thought as I dropped a roll of gauze on my head, by accident. I grumbled, and shook my head, bending over to pick it back up.

Of course, I started thinking about Nico, again... Recently that's all that'd been in my head... Especially at night...

I usually spend the night in the infirmary, when there are patients staying overnight. In case something happened to them, and, well... I found himself watching Nico as he slept, these past two nights.

Seeing the normally grumpy boy's face completely calm was nice... But, the calmness of the moment was often ruined, when Nico would begin violently shaking, sweating and crying...

I inquired some of Nico's friends, asking what could be causing him to have nightmares like that.

"Well... He did fall into Tartarus... Alone... I'm still having nightmares from it... And... I had Annabeth with me..." Percy had told me.

Quite a depressing thought... The darkest person I know, in the darkest place...

Maybe he wouldn't be so sad all the time if he had somebody to lo-

"Solace!" My thoughts were interrupted, yet again, when Nico himself called for me.

I walked to his room, and propped my elbow up on the door frame. "Yeah, Deathboy?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.

Nico was cuddled under layers of blankets, sitting on his bed. "I want to watch a movie, what'cha got?" He asked. His bed sat across from a small TV, with a stack of DVDs beside it.

I rolled my eyes at Nico. "Didn't I already tell you? You can get up and walk to the TV. It's literally ten feet away."

"Then what are you even here for?" Nico asked, clearly bored by our conversation.

"I have to stay in the infirmary whenever there's a patient. Its my job. And if I'm not here, most likely one of my siblings will be." I replied.

Nico stood up from his bed and shivered, having left the comfort of his blankets. He walked to the stack of movies, and began to flip through them, reading the titles out loud as he went.

"Frozen..... Beauty and the Beast... The Little Mermaid...." He furrowed his eyebrows in frustration and looked at me. "Are all of these movies by Disney?!"

I smirked at him. "I think we've got a couple of Dreamworks movies..." He glared in return.

"I don't want to watch some sappy fairytale where everyone gets a happy ending. They're too... Fake...I'd rather watch one of the good movies I've heard of. A horror film, where everybody dies...? I think it'd suit me better, and would be much more realistic." He said, like he didn't give a shit about anything.

Jeez... What a downer....

"Uh... We don't keep "R" rated films at camp... I think the closest thing we have would be "The Nightmare Before Christmas" It's a pretty cool movie, and definitely your whole... Death and darkness.... Style." He frowned as I spoke that last part... Great. Now I feel bad...

"Yeah, sure. Whatever, Sunshine." He put the emphasis on "Sunshine," as if it were an insult. I placed a hand over my heart and acted offended.

"How dare you give me a nickname based off of my personality." I couldn't have sounded more sarcastic if I had tried.

He frowned at me again and put the movie in. "Whatever, Solace."

He started the movie and stared at me for a long minute. "Well? Are you coming or not?" He said, awkwardly gesturing to the empty spot of bed beside him.

"I... Uh- What...?" I asked, generally confused... Was he actually making a kind gesture towards me and inviting me to watch a movie with him? He looked at me again and shrugged.

"If you don't want to, then just say so, I'm not keeping it paused forever." He's so cute when he's angry...

What?!

"Uh... Sure. I'll watch..." I sat next to him on the bed. "Though, I'll warn you... I can be a little bit jumpy at times..."

And with that, he started the movie.

**********

The movie was almost over now, and Nico was curled up in a ball, sleeping. I watched a few more minutes of the movie before my eyelids grew heavy. I closed my eyes, and fell asleep against my own will.

**********

I woke up at the crack of dawn, for obvious reasons, and was startled when I felt a cold lump on my chest. I looked down and realized that the lump was Deathboy...

His head was laying above my heart, listening to the beat. He had one arm up on my shoulder, and the other next next to his pale face. His legs were wrapped around mine, as if he was trying to absorb the heat from my skin, and, feeling how ice cold his skin was, I couldn't blame him, I must be like a personal heater for him right now...

I stayed in the bed, not wanting to wake him. I smiled, wishing I could do this more often...

A.N: Sorry if that sucked... Like I said first story... Next chapter will be in Nico's point of view, as he cuddles with a giant heated teddy bear! Please stay with me for this fic... It might be a bit slow going, but I just feel like their relationship won't just *click* it'll take some time... But, yeah, thanks for reading! Also, if you have any notes on how I could improve, please let me know in the comments!
