Sorta angsty/fluffy short song thing for leading up to Valentine's Day!

"I've learned to slam on the break, "

Nico stands outside of Camp Half-Blood watching as Will laughs with his friends. He sighs.

"Before I've even turned the key,"

  He turns to the shadows, placing a hand on a tree, turning back to glance at Will as his hair glows in the sunlight.

"Before I make a mistake,"

  Nico stands in the shadows, watching as Will fixes a patient, he's smiling and concentrating. It's adorable.

"Before I lead with the worst of me."

  Nico stumbles out of the shadows this time, and Will notices.

"Hey Nico!"

"Uh... Hi." And Nico's gone.

"I give them no reason to stare."

The shadows cover Nico to make it look like he's not even there.

"No slipping up if you slip away."

Nico slips into the shadows, barely noticed as he goes to Camp Jupiter for Hazel.

"So I got nothing to share, no, I got nothing to say."

Nico is quieter than usual. He only talks to Hazel and watches Will. No one notices his health deteriorate.

"Step out, step outta the sun. If you keep getting burned. Step out, step outta the sun, because you've learned because you've learned!"

When Nico isn't stalking Will or talking to his sister, he hides away in his cabin or the abandoned home of Italy he once lived in.

"On the outside, always looking in, will I, ever be more than I've always been 'cause I'm tap, tap, tapping on the glass, I'm waving through a window."

Nico makes the rare choice of talking to someone. He takes a deep breath. "Hi Will."

Will gives him a once-over.

"Infirmary."

"I try to speak but nobody can hear, so I wait around for an awnser to appear well I'm watch, watch, watching people pass, I'm waving through a window."

I wait for the results of the test Will gave me. No one comes to see me for what feels like days. I don't think anyone cares.

"Can anybody see? Is anybody waving back at me?"

---

A young Nico Di Angelo runs through a forest in Italy, giggling and playing by himself. He laughs and plays in the shade of the trees. He glances around, noticing the shadows comfort instead of scare him like most. He doesn't think much of it.

"We start with stars in our eyes,"

---

"We start believing we belong!"

Nico and Bianca are found and saved by Percy. Nico doesn't feel like a freak, like he did in that school.

---

"But every sun doesn't rise."

The news comes back. Bia Di Angelo is dead.

---

"And no one tells you where you went wrong!"

  Almost everyone was just plainly ignoring Nico at camp since he was claimed. Besides a few, but most stayed far away. He became okay with that. He didn't want this pain again.

---

"Step out, step outta the sun. If you keep getting burned. Step out, step outta the sun, because you've learned because you've learned!"

Nico almost leaves and doesn't come back. He thinks Will just forgot.

"On the outside, always looking in, will I, ever be more than I've always been 'cause I'm tap, tap, tapping on the glass, I'm waving through a window."

"EXSCUCE ME? I'VE BEEN HERE ALL DAY? WHERE'S MY DOCTOR? WHERE'S WILL?

"I try to speak but nobody can hear, so I wait around for an awnser to appear well I'm watch, watch, watching people pass, I'm waving through a window."

No one here's Nico's shouts.

"Can anybody see? Is anybody waving..."

"When you've fallen in a forest and there's nobody around, do you ever really crash, or even make a sound?"

Nico had crashed into major depression, ignored by himself and almost everyone else.

"When you've fallen in a forest and there's nobody around, do you ever really crash, or even make a sound?"

But one person at Camp Half-Blood noticed.

"When you've fallen in a forest and there's nobody around, do you ever really crash, or even make a sound?"

Will noticed.

"When you've fallen in a forest and there's nobody around, do you ever really crash, or even make a sound?"

"Did I even make a sound? Did I even make a sound? It's like I never make a sound if I never make a sound..." Nico looks up to see Will's face.

"Hey Darling, we're going to fight this battle ok, and you're going to win. Can you do that for me?" Nico nods.

"On the outside, always looking in, will I, ever be more than I've always been 'cause I'm tap, tap, tapping on the glass, I'm waving through a window."

Will smiles at Nico's awnser. "Good job Sweetheart. You can do this."

"I try to speak but nobody can hear, so I wait around for an awnser to appear well I'm watch, watch, watching people pass, I'm waving through a window."

"Nico, Honey. I can hear you singing to the rain."

Nico laughs, "I know Annoyance."

"I'm your Annoyance."

"Can anybody see? Is anybody waving back at me..."

Nico knew that when he went to crash and burn in his mind that now Will, his best friend and boyfriend, would be there to save him.
