9 : Come Back To Me

Will was scary when he fought.

The lovable medic went from healing injured campers to taking down monsters in a single blow. Whether it was using light to blind them, or analyzing their moves to sever the correct artery, Will could do it. Especially when he was mad.

The young son of the sun would start to glow, and his eyes would turn solid gold. He could spread disease with a breath, or take life away with just a touch. Many campers feared for their lives at times like these.

He had no control, and only one thing mattered to him.

Killing his enemies.

Obliterating them.

Making sure their souls would never gain enough energy to ever come back.

Before the battle with Gaea, no one was able to stop him except his father. Apollo was immune to any damage done to him by Will. No one else dared to try.

That is, until one day, Will lost any sense of humanity he possessed, after a monster injured a six year old demigod.

In retaliation, he grabbed the monster and sliced it open. Then, without a second thought, he thrust his hand inside and his glow started to become hotter and hotter. The monster writhed in pain, for it was being burned from the inside out.

Everyone started to back away, but one ran toward the gruesome scene. The figure grabbed Will by the shoulders and turned him around, away from the monster. A black sword slashed through the creature, putting it out of its misery.

"Look at me," the young man said. He took Will's face in his hands and stared him straight in the eye. "Look at me, Will. This is not you. You are an amazing person. You are the most caring man I have ever met. You are better than this. Don't stoop down to their level. That is what they want."

He searched Will's face and saw a flicker of the old Will. The Will that forced him into the infirmary when he was hurt. The Will that cared too much for others and not enough for himself. The Will that lit up a room when he smiled. The Will that cried any time he lost a patient. The Will that held him after he had nightmares. The Will that he loved.

"Come back to me."

Will's eyes slowly turned back to a brilliant blue, and his glow started to soften. He focused on the figure in front of him. His azure eyes teared up. The other man hugged him, letting Will cry on his shoulder. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." Will mumbled.

"There's nothing to be sorry for."

"Nico?"

"Yeah?"

"I love you. So, so much."

"I love you, too, Sunshine."
