Welp. I guess this is a oneshot? Lol keep reading if ya want too.

Nico could faintly feel the boy next to him. The blonde was holding his hand tightly, yet gently. He was tracing circles in his hand. It was rather soothing. But Nico couldn't tell Will that. He was too far gone.

Will could faintly feel Nico's pulse, giving Will some hope. He held Nico's hand tightly, so Nico would never go, so he couldn't leave him.

Nico felt like he was being dragged away. Like he was being weighed down, sinking endlessly in a bottomless ocean. Nightmares of Taturus, Bianca, titans, and the Labyrinth swirling around him, taunting him. Then there was his endless lists of fears and doubts, telling him to give up. No one loves you.  They seemed to say. Everyone hates you. But the worst doubt was yet to come. Himself.

Will wanted to help. He wanted to help so bad. But he couldn't. All he could do is look at Nico, his laboured breathing and the fear that was etched on his beautiful face. All he could do was wait and listen. It was torturing him. But he knew Nico had it way worst then him. "Nico?" Will whispered.  It was one simple word. But it held so much power.

Nico was suffering. He was sinking deeper and deeper. His lungs burned, his hands numb. He couldn't feel Will's soothing circles. When he heard a heartbreaking voice ask, "Nico?" It was bearly a whisper but it opened something inside him. Will? He wanted to answer but he was far too deep. He kept trying. Will? Will? Will!? Will!? He tried fighting against the terrible things that surrounded him. The images started blurring and reforming into something new. The face. The face of a boy. One that held much more beauty then Aphrodite herself. Will.

Will hopes had risen. Nico had answered. A soft and faint "Will". They way Nico said it made him go crazy. It was so gentle and soft. "Nico? You going to wake up? You're not going to leave us right?" His voice cracked at the last words. There was a knock on the door, before came in 4 demigods. Jason, Piper, Percy, and Annabeth. "How is he..." Annabeth stopped short. Jason look he would burst into tears any moment. Piper did also. Jason walked up to the bed pulling a chair behind him, and sat next to Will. "Hey, Nico wake up. We still haven't teamed up in capture the flag yet. Remember the sing-along contests?" Jason asked surprising calmly.

Nico had pushed past the images. He could hear Jason. Him asking about capture the flag and sing-along contests. He felt a small smile reach his mouth. He couldn't hear Jason anymore and he frowned. Everything went dark. "Nico wake up." It was Piper. It made him want to wake up, even more then before. But he couldn't wake.

Jason stood and left the room, without a word. It was too much for him. Piper followed her boyfriend, and tried to calm him. Annabeth followed the two, and she too was crying. Percy fell right behind. He gave Nico a sad and sorrowful glance and closed the door behind him. All of Will's hope was gone. "Nico...Please...wake up." He practically begged the pale boy. "Nico...Please! " He felt a tear roll down his face. Tear by tear until he was full on sobbing. "We miss you. I miss you. Come on you can do it. I know you can." He put all of his remaining hope into his words. But he believed in Nico. He had to believe in him.

The images were reforming and Nico was terrified to see himself. But his eyes were black and empty. They were hollow. His face was sunken, his face the color of paper. He screamed. He heard a dark laugh echo in the desolate sea. "We miss you. I miss you. Come on you can do it. I know you can." It was Will. He sounded so confident and sure. "Come on, Nico. Doctor's orders." Nico smiled and laughed. It felt good. Will's voice filled his brain. "Nico!? Oh my Gods!" His voice was full of happiness. The image changed from the reflection of Nico to a image of Will. Nico grabbed at it. He wanted Will to hold him close. "Will?" He called. "Yes Nico. That's my name." The image showed Will grinning. It was absolutely contagious. Nico was smiling. "Hey can you open your eyes?" He heard him say. He could hear Will sigh. "Nico did you know that I really, really like you?" Will said laughing nervously, caressing Nico's pale cheek. Shock washed over Nico's face. Those words rung in his ears. He replayed over and over in his head. He had to get up. Hazel loved him. Jason loved him. Reyna loved him. Coach Hedge cares for him. And of course, so did Will. He had to get out. As Nico thought this, he was enveloped in white and in the distance was the dark voice that laughed, now hissed. Nico's eyelids felt heavy, but he forced them open. He opened his eyes to find white walls, and he was in bed.

Will was shocked, overjoyed. Nico's eyes fluttered open. "Nico!" Will practically screamed. He got out of his chair and stood above him. "Come on wake up!" He said happily. He put his hands on Nico's pulse. It was steady. Will grinned from ear to ear.
