I Will Follow You Into The Dark.
Death Cab For Cutie

Love of mine, someday you will die
But I'll be close behind
I'll follow you into the dark

Nico and (y/n). (Y/n) and Nico. That's how it always was. There friendship was different. For it did not blossom into what it was meant to till the very end.
It had happened at Camp Half-Blood in the woods. At the hands of a monster

No blinding light or tunnels to gates of white
Just our hands clasped so tight
Waiting for the hint of a spark.

Nico didn't see what happened. He only heard the blood curling scream and the picture that followed it.
The two were fighting monsters for fun, but at some point they got separated, neither had truly noticed.
The scream brought Nico out of his bubble. He killed the monster in front of him and ran towards her.

If Heaven and Hell decide
That they are both satisfied
Illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs

When Nico saw you, he ran faster and skidded on his knees, ignoring the pain it brought to him.
"(Y-y/n)." Nico breathed. Claw marks ran from your chest to your hip. You were bleeding heavily.

If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark

The two of you fought back tears.
The moments you two shared.
All those secrets.
All those damn inside jokes.
The close calls.
The friendship.
And it was going to end like this?

In Catholic school as vicious as Roman rule
I got my knuckles bruised by a lady in black
And I held my tongue as she told me
"Son fear is the heart of love."
So I never looked back

For what felt like the longest time, Nico just cradled your head and didn't say anything.
He chocked back a sob as he felt your souls presence get weaker.
"Nico." You said breathlessly.

If Heaven and Hell decide
That they are both satisfied
Illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs.

His tears landed on your cheek, mixing with yours.
"I'm scared." You mumbled.
"Don't be." Nico sobbed. "Everything is going to be fine. I promise."
"I'm sorry, Nico."

If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark

"Don't be sorry. I need you to survive this." More tears traced down the two's cheeks. Nico cried hard. (y/n)'s shaking hand gently stroked Nico's face, wiping away some tears and leaving a thin trail of blood behind.

You and me have seen everything to see
From Bangkok to Calgary
And the soles of your shoes
Are all worn down

"(y/n), I love you, don't leave me."
"I love you too." You cried even harder.
"That fates are too selfish, (y/n). They took my mother, my sister, and now they are trying to take you away."

The time for sleep is now
It's nothing to cry about
'Cause we'll hold each other soon
In the blackest of rooms

The two barely notices it had started raining. It cleaned up some of blood, revealing the wound.
"The fates." Nico sobbed. He leaned in and kissed you roughly. "They can't take you away from me."
Your eyes felt heavy. You strained to keep them open.
"I need you, (y/n)!" Nico cried.

If Heaven and Hell decide
That they are both satisfied
Illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs

Breathing had gotten harder and Nico could tell.
He kissed you again.
You offered him a weak smile.
His chin quivered.
"(Y-y/n-n)." Nico stuttered.

If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark

Your eyes closed.
The smile stayed on your lips.

Then I'll follow you into the dark
