Ghosting (PJO Young Justice)

Ok, but can we just take a moment to absorb the fact that this is one of the photos for Will. And how much he looks like he-man.

Nico is 15, with Will being 16. This is right before Trials of Apollo.

N I C O

I was walking to the Apollo cabin to ask Will if he wanted to go into town to watch a circus act, which was something I've never seen before and I really wanted to see it and it was Will and I's 1 year anniversary. And I wanted to go to the circus with him.

Being with him made me feel the happiest I've ever been, ever since Bianca died. Probably even before that. 

I guess I wasn't paying attention, and I bumped into someone. 

"Ah- Sorry." I looked up and saw Jason. He looked worried about something. "Jason, what's wrong?" His eyes looked panicked for a second.

"Nico... Do you love Will?" I nodded quickly.

"Yep! He's probably the reason I'm still here." He looked pained.

"Are you going somewhere with him anytime soon?" I nodded.

"We're gonna go to a 'circus'."

"...Why don't me and Piper go with you? Like a double-date?" I shrugged.

"I'll ask Will. You'll have to buy your own tickets, though." I smiled and continued on, waving at him. He gave me a sad look. I wonder what happened. I walked up to the Apollo cabin. Will takes the night shifts while the other campers take the day shifts or teach the archery classes at this time, so he should be the only one there. I creeped through in case he was sleeping. I heard someone talking, which confused me. I creeped closer to the room where the campers sleep. I held my ear to the door and listened.

"Ah... We should... really stop... Jason said that Nico... Would be coming over soon." It was Will's voice. He was breathing heavily. Was that... another person's breathing as well? The door was slightly cracked open. I couldn't see through it now, so I opened it a bit more and looked through. 

I held my hands over my mouth. Will was sitting on his bed, his shirt off. Some girl was on his lap, her shirt off as well. Actually, she was wearing something over her chest. Will's hands. She was attractive, probably a child of Aphrodite. Short dark brown hair that was almost black, tanned skin with a few freckles. 

My eyes watered. I backed up, letting out a small whimper catching their attention. I heard them move to get dressed and I ran for the shadows and was in my cabin in a split second. I stand there for a second, trying to not cry. Finally, I walk over to put the Hades cabin on lock down so... So if I wanted to kill myself I can. Finally, I let out a sob. I scream and shout at nothing, at Will, knocking things over and making a mess. 

Everything hurt.

There was a knock on the door. Not waiting for a response, they spoke.

"Nico... Please answer the door." I got angry again. Is this why Jason was upset? I didn't want to see Will right now. I silently crept over to the back window and crawled out. I made my way stealthy farther away so I could see who was at the porch. Will and one of Will's friends. I looped around so I was at the Zeus cabin. The door was unlocked, so I walked right in. Jason was sleeping in one of the beds. It was almost dark, after all. 

I stalked over to his bed, the top bunk, and grabbed the bed posts and jerked it to the side. Despite my size, I was a lot stronger now with the help of... Will. He made sure I was perfectly healthy. Anyway, Jason toppled down, giving a shout of surprise. I crossed my arms and stood over him as he regained his senses.
