A Hero, The Hero (Solangelo)

Dreaming

(Back to Nico POV)
     I couldn't tell if I was asleep or awake. All I saw was myself sitting on a steep and stoney hill. Three voices as one, the Fates I assumed, all spoke in unison.

"When chances are slim, but the one moves on, a battle is yet to be won. The living dead makes the final stand while sedentary. The living dead dies there, or dies not. The blessing and burden placed upon thy shoulders. The living dead burns out, or burns for eternity."

Wait. What was I sitting on? Was that a-? Nope. Nope. Nope. Not happening. Never. It was a wheelchair! My dream spun and refabicated into Tartarus. Not this again. The hiding. The fighting. Drinking fire. Eating whatever I could find. The way my skin blistered in the toxic air. The jar. The coma. The fear.
       I woke up screaming, like always. The screams melted into sobs and my shoulders shook. I was now somehow on Will's lap.
      "It's over, Neeks. You're not there. You're with me." I kissed his head and hugged him. Everyone kisses everyone. Hugging however, is showing you don't need anything from the other, you simply let them know that you're here. He laid me on my bed and instructed that I sleep as he slid into the bed next to me.

Will's POV
      The thing about Nico was that when he was falling asleep or waking up, he had no filter. He didn't blush or get embarrassed. He would say whatever was on his mind. Which he did right at that beautiful second.
       "Screw you, Will!" His voice cut through the air like a dagger.
       Obviously worried, I replied,"Nico what did I do?"
       He looked at me and said completely deadpan,"Stop turning me on when I'm trying to sleep!" He cried, exasperated.
        My face flooded with red as I gazed down at him. "Um.. yeah, ok." I muttered as I ran my hands through his tangled raven hair. Soon enough, he was curled up at my side.
