A/N. Sorry, the picture does not have great resolution. Just to clarify, it is Nico dying in Wills arms. Now on that emotionally scarring note, here is the story.
Wills POV
I sighed, rubbing the bridge of my nose with my thumb and pointer finger. The saytr on the cot in front of me nervously chewed on a Diet Coke can. No doubt one of Mr. D's.
"So doc? What's the verdict, am I going to die?" I rubbed the rough denim on my jeans with my palms, making them heat up. A nervous habit.
"For the last time Grover, call me Will! No need to be so formal, any friend of Percy's is a friend of mine." Especially Nico. I thought. I blushed at my thoughts and mentally smacked my forehead for being so dumb. I looked up to see Grover with a strange look on his face. I realized I was doing it not just in my mind, but in the real world as well. I coughed awkwardly and picked up the clipboard next to me, pretending to examine it carefully. "Now, where were we? Oh, yes... Grover, you are going to be fine. It's just a cold. But I would recommend laying off the tin cans for a while, don't want to get a habit, huh?" He raised his eyebrow at me, eyeing my worn jeans that had become slowly tattered after years of palm rubbing. I blushed and watched him leave, and as soon as he was gone, ear geeky grabbed for my phone. The screen came to life at the press of a button, revealing a picture of me and Nico. It was our first date together and I had convinced him to let me color on his face.
Not really, he was asleep after watching a movie. He woke up and chased me down, drawing a mouse ache and goatee on my face. We both cracked up at the ridiculousness of it all and we went out on the camp grounds, goofing around and taking selfies. I slid open the phone and went into messages, going over the text chat labeled, Sunshine.Me: Hey Sunshine. I am all done with my patients. Will be at your cabin soon for our date.
Me: Can't wait to see you, got a big surprise planned.
I smiled to myself and grabbed my coat (A/N: hoodie), pulling out a small black box from the pocket. I opened it to reveal a ring, with a black skull and a sun in jewels. A couple of weeks ago, I had it personally done. Nico and I had been dating for two years, and I wanted to be more like then just boyfriends. Tonight, I was going to propose. I walked out of the door, phone in hand. But right when I was about to lock up the infirmary, Percy came sprinting up to me. He looked on the verge of tears, panic played across his face. He made it about halfway up the steps, but collapsed of exhaustion. I rushed to him, slightly worried. The last time I saw him this scared, was during the Great War.
"What's wrong?" Percy panted heavily, trying to form words, or catch his breath, what ever happened first.
"M-m-monster. On..the...border." I looked at him, even more worried, there was a break in at the border. "Some. . one . . injured." Oh no. I grab his shoulders, shaking them in panic.
"What?!? Who was it?!?" He looked up at me sadly, tears in his eyes.
"It's Nico." My face dropped in shock. I sped off the porch, heading to half-blood hill. I had never run more fast in my life. I felt like all the four wind gods were behind me, willing me to go faster. I sprinted through the camp, until I saw a group huddled together on half-blood hill. I got closer, shoving my way through the crowd.
"Let me through! I need to see him!" I got to the center, and all in one moment, my heart broke. There, in Annabeth's arms, was a bloodied Nico. There was a small stream making its way down the hill, red liquid snaking its way towards me. Annabeth looked up at me, tears streaming down his face. I collapsed in front of them and she gingerly handed Nico to me, her hands shaking. I looked down at Nico, my Nico, the one thing in life I loved the most. I felt tears forming at my cheeks. I brushed the black hair out of his face and he smiled weakly at me.
"Hi Will." I broke down into sobs, smiling sadly back at him.
"Why Nico? Why?"
"I-I saw a monster coming, and a demigod and satry running from it. The demigod was so young. As young as I was. They weren't going to make it. I had to help, but then, dam thing pulled out a sword, and..." He removed a shaking hand from his midsection revealing a bloody wound.
"I-I know how to fix this. All I need is some tweezers, some gloves, bandages and pain medication. We con do this Nico. We can save you. We can-" I was interrupted by Nico reaching up and grabbing my hand, shaking his head. I felt more tears coming, but I held them back. I couldn't let him see me like this. "No! I can't just let you die! I can't! You're my world Nico, I don't know how I could live without you! I love you!" Nico cupped my face with one hand, wiping away the tears. "I love you!" I remembered the ring and dung around in my pockets clumsily, reaching for the velvet box. "I was planning to propose tonight, on our anniversary. But..." Nico smiled sadly at me, tears now falling down his face. I held out the box at him, popping it open. I heard a few sobs from the crowd, but I didn't care. "Nico, my sunshine. I love you, and I wan to spend the rest of my life with you. Will you marry me?"
Nico sobbed weakly, now barely holding on to his life. "Y-y-yes." Then his head slumped to the side and his eyes glazed. No. No! This can't be happening! I clutched him to my chest, rocking him back and forth. "Wake up Nico. Nico? Nico, wake up!" I don't remember much of what happened after that except Annabeth and Percy pulling me away from a limp Nicos body, while I screamed and cried. "NO! HE CANT BE DEAD! NICO!!!" Annabeth pulled me into her for a hug, tears streaming down her own face. She patted my back, comforting me as I watched Chiron carry away his limp body.Time skip
The funeral happened a week later. It was a good service, everyone came, including my father and Hades. I didn't talk to anyone, but just sat in the corner silently, while Annabeth comforted me. Time passed and everyone left, but I couldn't tell the difference. Everything felt black and morbid. We had buried him on Half-Blood hill and had the party at the campfire region. I walked over to the hill and sat in front of his grave. Nico Di Angelo, loving husband and friend. I had told the Hephaestus cabin when making the tombstone, to engrave a sun and skull on it. They willingly did so. I took out a bouquet of yellow flowers and placed them in front of the grave. I felt tears start to stream down my face. Leaning forward, I ran my finger over his name.
"Nico... You were the first person I ever loved... My sunshine." I started shaking and reached into my pocket, feeling for the cold metal.
."You are my sunshine,
my only sunshine
you make me happy,
when days are grey." I pulled the object out, fingering the trigger. Sobbing to the song.
"You'll never know dear,
how much I love you,
please don't take my sunshine away," I put the gun to my temple, tears streaming down my face. I heard footsteps and turned to see Annabeth running towards me, screaming something. Please don't take my sunshine away. I gave her a sad look and mouthed the words I'm sorry, before pulling the trigger.A/N. I am soooooo sorry. I know you probably hate me for this, and I hate myself right now a little too, but it gets better, trust me. The next one is pure fluff. I was crying the entire time I wrote this, which was weird, because my sister was sitting on the couch next to me. Comment, vote and review please. I do take requests, but through private comments.
Sorry again,
