The Difference [Will x Nico]

Chapter 3

 NICO 

            About an hour later, I couldn't really remember, I had fallen asleep and when I woke up, Will had just exited the room. "Hey Babe, bring me food?" He licked his lips smiling...I could still tell something was wrong. I could sense it, "How's the patience doing?" I asked in a quiet voice, not heard to because of all the yelling from the class this morning. That got him talking as he grabbed the lunch I handed him. "U-ummmmmm" His voice cracked as he looked down at the floor. "She is in good conduction" He finally said. "Okay, because I feel her soul slowly shifting in and out of the hold of the fates" Will gaped at me, shutting his mouth, "not helping Deathboy" I cringed. "Oh, sorry" He huffed and opened his lunch. 

         His blue eyes scanned the contents of the paper bag before he grabbed out the plastic wrapped sandwich. "Demeter?" I nodded, we started down the hall to his office towards the back of the building. He plopped the sandwich back in the bag and looked up at me. I was looking ahead of us, at the dimly lit halls with demigods scrambling about. "Thanks for bringing me lunch Neeks" Sadness rimmed his words and crawled into every sentence he breathed. I nodded again as we made it to the office. He sat down on one side of his desk and I sat on the other side.

       "How was training?" I asked taking a big bite of my sandwich. "Pretty good, most of the students could get the side sweep and blocking....It's pretty simple" Simple for Nico could mean extremely hard for noobs. I nodded and smiled falsely. "Good...Good" I shook my head loose of wandering thoughts. She is going to be okay, get yourself together Solace! I scolded myself. Nico probably picked up on my discomfort, because next he leaned over the table, his arms folded and support his weight. "Sure you're okay?" I debated on lying...meh, no point. "She really doesn't seem like she's gonna make it" I sighed, finally able to let that out. I was never good at bottling up my feelings like Nico. My brain went back to the day Nico had vented to me about his crush on Percy, at first, I was sad, for I had a giant crush on Nico! But after awhile, I realized Nico was completely over him. He will NOT give you a second thought if he doesn't have to! Nico's eyebrows knitted together. "Why? She seems pretty stable" Nico's expression earlier told me otherwise. "Like you said, she is close to death" I finally gave up my act and took another bite of the food in front of me. Nico leaded back and looked as if he was trying to cheer me up or something. I swallowed the last bite of the food. "That face defiantly doesn't suit you Deathboy" I was referring to the worried look. 

      "Yeah yeah.." He rolled his black glassy eyes as I reached over the table and laced my fingers with his. He jumped a bit like he used to when we were kids but smiled halfheartedly. His pale features were dark but filled with love.

"We'll get through this together....Solace.." 

(Short chapter but I wanted to live it on a cliff hanger so....THERE!!! KUDOS FOR NOW!!!)
