************************************* Will hadn't found him.

Nico was a little embarrassed.

Whispers had been around camp.

"I don't like him. He doesn't like me I am the Ghost King I am night! I am death! I am all that is evil!" Nico grumbled as he hacked at a straw dummy.

This continued and garbled words could be heard from the dark boy.

Had Will made him soft?

Nico didn't want to think about it.

"I'm. Not. Cute. Bothersome. Blonde! I'm. Am. Darkness. I. Am. Death!" He grumbled with every swing of his scabbard.

"Oh are you now?" A voice asked.

Nico swerved around and nearly impaled Jason.

"Hey hey buddy it's just me!" Jason laughed dodging Nico.

"Jason?" Nico asked and lowered the blade.

"I-I'm sorry." He muttered.

"It's okay. What's up? Having troubles? Who's this 'Bothersome Blonde'" he laughed.

Nico staggered a bit realizing Jason had heard everything.

"It's nothing." Nico mumbled.

"Is this about..." Jason lowered his voice, "Will?"

Nico started to object but stopped halfway. "No- I... Yeah. Yeah it is."

"What has he done?" Jason asked.

"Well he- he..." Nico couldn't find a reason.

Jason smiled knowingly. "Hm. Just like the beginnings of Per- um I mean Piper and I"

Nico brushed off the momentary slip and continued, " I just, I don't know. I have a thing for him maybe but it's not the easiest thing to admit and he knows I like him but I don't want him to know. I don't want anyone to know" he mumbled coming to terms.

Jason looked puzzled, "that, that sounds like pride but you've never been one to be too prideful. This sounds like it's about something bigger." Jason thought.

A look of realization crept onto his face, "you don't want anyone to know oh gods that's it. Your scared... You don't have to- I mean I would think that the campers- oh Neeks" Tears welled in Nico's eyes and he leaned his head forward into Jason's chest.

Jason wrapped his arms around him protectively like an older brother.

"Two weeks and five days." Nico whispered thinking he at least had to tell Jason.

"What? Jason asked removing his arms and putting his hands on Nico's shoulders.

"Werewolves. Claw marks. Hasty stitching. Will checked it out and I- I only have two weeks and five days." He managed to choke out.

Jason started shaking his head in disbelief tears streaming down his face.

Nico sobbed with Jason.

He didn't want to leave.

Not when he had found his friends.

"Neeks you don't have time. You can't be prideful. You have to tell him how you feel. Also the others, Hazel at least. Tell her about your time." Nico nodded.

"Thanks Jason. Thank you for everything."
