Will's P.O.V
I hadn't seen Nico all day, which isn't a good thing because today was going to be..... Different from other days. But I knew I could make him smile. So I grabbed Travis Stoll and we headed to McDonald's.
On the car ride there we just made small talk and crap like that. The strawberry delivery truck smells good so it wasn't that bad.
When we got there he stayed in the truck while I ran in. I ordered a happy meal.
~~~~~~
When we got back to camp I thanked the Stoll Brother and ran down to the Hades Cabin. I opened the door and slipped in. All the lights were off but one. I looked around. Nico, he sat on his legs, his hands covering his face. He was crying. I noticed a drawing of Bianca. It was probably one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. But it wasn't finished. I dropped the food on instinct and ran over to him. I took his hands. They were covered in blood.
"N...Nico babe.... What.... What happened?" I breathe out quietly. I can't see his face. His hair covering it, his head hung low too. I healed his hands, they were just cut. Like he picked up glass. I got up and wet a hand towel in the bathroom sink. I washed away the blood.
"She would have been eighteen." He whispered. "She was so.... Young. To young to die." He said and looks up at me. Tears streamed down his face. I felt tears in my own eyes. He had a gash on the side of his face. I touched his face and healed it.
"I wanted to keep it cool today. I decided to draw her. And I started to think, what age should I draw her? What would she even look like at that age? And I just..." He trailed off.
"It's okay Nico. You don't have to tell me." I told him.
"I love you Will, I'm sorry." He whispered.
"There's nothing to be sorry for Nico, and I love you too, with all of my heart." I said, I wiped away the blood on his face and got up. I grabbed the food and I threw the towel in the bathroom sink. I went to the little mini kitchen and heated up the food. When I get back he's sitting on the bed.
"Do you need to go back to the Infirmary?" He asked me.
"No! Why? Of course not. I should have taken the whole day off!" I said and sat down next to him. I handed him his food and he smirked.
"Thank you Will." He said to me. I smile.
"Of course Nico!" He eat in a comfortable silence. Until I try to take a fry from him and he hisses. I started to laugh, I fell back on the bed and laughed some more. Then he laughed a little and I sat back up. Since he was done I threw the stuff away.
I looked at him. I pulled him into my arms. I sway back and forth until he gets the memo. He steps onto my feet and we slow dance. His arms wrapped around my waist and mine around the middle of his torso. His face burying in the crook of my neck, mine in his hair. We're like that for about ten minutes until he looked up at me with tears in his eyes.
"I don't know what I would do without you." He said and stepped off my feet. His long arms traveled up to wrap around my neck. He pulled me down and connected our lips. I pulled away after awhile.
"You should finish that." I told him pointing to the drawing. He turns around and looked at it. "It's one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen, you know." I told him picking it up. It's Bianca Di Angelo looking off in the distance.
"Really?" Nico asked me.
"Yeah!" I said. He takes it from me and gets a pencil from his desk.
He sat down on the bed, leaning against the wall. I sit next to him and close my eyes. I listened to the soft sound of his pencil working across the paper. I drift off to sleep.
