The next day

I spent this morning with Lj, whom I hadn't seen lately due me giving most of my attention to Nico.

I walked to the woods towards place where I usually met Nico. I was greeted by Nico colliding full force into my stomach, an odd sound filled the air, it sounded horse. I look down in shock, Nico was giggling and muttering my name over and over in an extremely exited tone. I laughed and hugged him back, he was wearing a black t-shirt covered with his usual aviators jacket, skinny jeans and a dark set of headphones adorned his neck.

"I have something to show you" I whispered in his ear. I gently took Nico's arm and began walking. He nodded and happily skipped after me, chattering about who knows what. When we reached the mansion I was greeted by Lj at the front steps.

"Who's this? Did you tell Slender you were bringing him?" He asked raising an eyebrow. I grinned and replied, "What he doesn't know won't hurt him". Lj snorted and turned, walking back into the mansion. I continued forward gesturing Nico to follow, I could tell he was feeling anxious as he was quiet and shy.  I held out my hand to him, he instantly took it and pressed himself to my side, hiding himself from the harsh outside world.

As we walked through the mansion I made sure Nico couldn't see any of the killers. Lj, being the good friend he is and understanding the situation, made sure that none of them bothered us. When we got to my blue door I pushed it open and guided Nico inside.

"Wow, is this where you live?" Nico exclaimed, his eyes were wide with wonder and awe. I smiled at him before leading him to a table across the room.

"Here, little one, I made this for you, it's so now he can't leave you or hurt you ever again" I handed Nico a 'doll' of Percy Jackson.

Due to the shear mass of the thing Nico had trouble holding him due to the fact that the 'doll' was Percy, literally. His face was calmer set in wax then I had ever seen it in real life. His gaze fixed forward from unseeing, green eyes.

Nicos dark brown eyes peaked through his long, blinking lashes as he looked up at me, he looked so innocent and I felt the urge to wrap him up in a blanket and protect him from everything that could ever hurt him "how am I going to keep him?" I blinked twice, I hadn't thought of that, it would be both suspicious and inconvenient for Nico to keep Percy. I had never had much of a problem with storage as most of my 'friends' don't live long enough for them to store the dolls as they seem to not like the idea of me killing their friends personally I have no idea why, they have me don't they, they don't need anyone else. Nico wasn't like that, either he didn't care or didn't know Percy was dead. I didn't want to lose him, he was different then most of my 'friends' he was much older, he knew pain and rejection. it would be a shame to lo-

"-son? Jason?" I looked down at Nico, who was now tugging on my sleeve. "sorry little one my thoughts got away from me." He seemed to find this amusing as he dropped his head and giggled to himself, then looked up at me. "Is ok" "How about you leave Percy with me? I had a chat to the real Percy and he said he'll leave you alone for now." Nico nodded his approval clinging tightly to the 'toy'.

"Leave that for now, I have something else for you" I smiled gently and picked Mr Bunny up from his place on the table. "This, is Mr Bunny he is very pleased to meet you" Dark brown eyes went wide and watery, I began to freak out internally. Did he not like Mr Bunny? Nico reached out and took him carefully from my hands studying his every stitch and detail.

All of a sudden, as if something had snapped, the toy went from being held gently, so it could be examined, to being crushed to the pale boys chest his arms wrapping tightly around it as if it would fade if he didn't.

I watched half shocked, Nico's shoulders began to shake. I heard his sobs unsure of what to do I wrapped my arms around him.

Lj chose that moment to enter my room seeing the position we where in he quietly crossed his arms and leant against the doorway. We made eye connection his silent question was replied by me slightly shaking my head, neither of us knew what was going on. Nico lifted his head and looked at me threw teary eyes "n-no one has ever given me anything like this... not since... and even then..." he trailed off. "since?" "Mama was given a baby blanket to give to...to Bianca when she was born Mama was saving to escape to America so we never had much to spare. When I was born Bianca gave the blanket to me. I never had toys. When we left we couldn't stay anymore the blanket Mamma when't back to get it from the hotel room and and I never saw her again."

Lj and I exchanged looks of shock, with the both of us being 'imaginary' friends we, unlike most of the pastas had not experienced a childhood let alone a bad one we destroyed childhoods but seeing one so distorted from the very begging made my music box throb.

"Man, that made even me sad, you kind of remind me of Isaac, kid please please promise me you wont end up like him he destroyed me don't let that happen to Jason it's not fair. I thought I'd never feel anything for anyone again but maybe Isaac wasn't 100% mad or maybe some part of me is actually me and not that sick basted" Lj spoke. I had never heard him speak so genuinely, sure we knew each others stories but as we are reluctant to show emotion I never really knew how he felt.

"Who are you?" Nico was staring at Jack. "oh sorry kid I'm Laughing Jack a good friend of Jasons" "you look kinda weird and who's Isaac?" I snorted at Nicos response as Lj is rather vain."Well if I look weird then so do you Jason" "hey!" we both avoided the subject of Isaac for safety.

Nico let out a yawn, I hadn't realised he was tired he started to sing to Mr. Bunny a little "Close your eyes, I know what you see, the darkness is high and you're in 10 feet deep, but we've survived more terrible monsters then sleep you know I will be here to tell you to breath." He let out another yawn. "We should let the little one rest Jay" Jack commented. I picked Nico up into my arms and lead him into a small nursery I had built for my friends who where abused and really needed out.

I placed the boy down and took a good look at him. I had no cloths for him to sleep in. I looked over at Jack who had followed us to the pastel blue and pink room. "Got it, I'll be back in a second" and with that Jack left the room. l let Nico explore the room. His hand rested on the crib like bed. He looked up at me "bars?" "To stop little ones such as yourself from going into my workshop" "Otay Jay-jay" he blushed slightly realising what he had said. He was acting like a kid and even talking like one then it hit me "Nico does...does acting like a kid make you happy?" his cheeks burned as scarlet as Oscars blood that had so recently stained my hands. "I. Uh yeah um I'll stop sorry l only do it when I feel safe, I don't know what came over me I'll-" I quickly cut off his small rant before he doubts me "Nico its fine I want you to feel safe."

"I'm back" Jack announces holding a black and white striped long sleeved t-shirt, one of the ones he wore on his days off. Nico put the shirt on and changed beneath it then put his arms through the sleeves. I had to refrain from cooing out loud, the shirt was made to fit laughing Jack, who was a huge humanoid with ridiculously long arms and Nico was a small child. The shirt was a huge dress on his thin form even with the sleeves rolled up. The neckline slipped off one shoulder, making him look even smaller.

The large amount of scars on the small amount of  visible skin concerned me, I left that subject alone. For now my main concern was getting the tired little one to bed and sleep. Nico let out a big yawn and began rubbing his eyes with the sleeves that covered his fists.

I gently lifted the boy and played him into the crib, Lj began placing blankets around him. Nico eyes fluttered as he tried to keep them open. I went to grab Mr.Bunny from the top of the dresser. Nico stretched out his arms to receive the toy. The young boy held the bunny gently as he lost his battle to stay awake.

Lj didn't even look up at me when he spoke "He certainly lives up to his name, huh?" "He'll be safe here lets let him sleep" with that we both left.
