Intimate : A Lieco Gay Fanfiction

2. Unearthing

Nico felt his hands on the rusty door nob as he turned it open. Hot air blasted from the door way he now stood facing. Darkness stared at him from the obsolete view that he was witnessing. Nico had the power to sense a living entity at close quarters. He searched the darkness for something with life. He faintly picked up the shadow of someone crouched two stories underneath where he stood.

wow, he thought, this place is big.

He stepped into the darkness. He heard a sound, he instinctively reached for his stygian sword. he grasped the sword hilt and proceeded down the path that seemed to begin from the door. Tools littered the path that wound through the darkness.

*time lapse*

nico reached the end of the path after climbing down two flights of stairs. he heard a sob. nico turned around and headed in the direction of the sound. as nico turned around the corner of the dark room. he saw a silhouette of a person on the floor. nico approched the figure.

'leo?'

leo heard a familiar voice uttering his name. it not only was familiar, it was the same voice he dreamed of , every night. the voice he imagined, that would understand him.

Nico ran to leo's side. Leo was clutching the book that nico had seen earlier.

Nico bent down, as leo just crawled further away.

' Leo, Is everything alright? ' nico asked.

Leo stayed silent.

'Leo talk to me'

Still no reply.

Leos face was hidden by his hands so nico couldn't decipher his emotions. A slight shiver passed through Leo's body.

'Leo, i understand that you would want to be alone so i'll leave you in peace" Nico offered.

As he was preparing to leave, he felt Leo's hand pull back his hand.

'Don't Go' Leo whispered.

Nico crawled in next to him.

'Leo...'

Leo threw his hands on Nico and hid his face in Nico's chest.
Nico didnt like physical contact but he was too stunned to react. He hugged Leo back ,as he felt Leo's warmt seeping into him.

Leo was sobbing uncontrolably , as Nico tried to reassure him everything would be alright.

'Leo, You're safe now, you dont have to cry'

They sat like that for a few minutes with their arms draped across each others shoulders.

Leo felt relived to be near Nico. His cold skin and arms wrapped around him in a friendly gesture.

He wouldnt be this friendly if he knew my secret. Leo thought.

As Leo pulled away from Nico, his tears were gone ,so was Nico Di Angelo.

Leo clutched darkness as it enfolded him in its cold arms. Nico was no where to be seen.

Leo reached for his book. He searched high and low for it but it was gone. Leo had a suspicion where it could have gone.

His heart beats echoed across the dark fathomless room as he picked himself from the floor.
