So, I finally got my computer fixed yesterday. I apologise because that took some time.
I was awoken by screaming and sobbing. This happened almost every night, when Nico would have nightmares about Tartarus. Screw it, I thought. I am going to help him this time. I'm going to wrap him up in his blankets, I am going to make a Nico-burrito, and I am going to cuddle him until the nightmares stop. I walked to his room and opened the door. There he was, screaming and crying into his pillow while still asleep. I felt as if my heart had just shattered into a million pieces.
"Shh Nico" I whispered softly as I walked over and sat on the bed. "It's okay, you're safe. I'm right here." I pulled him into my chest and he woke up.
"Jason..." He was still sobbing into my shirt. I could feel wet spots beginning to form.
"Shh, go back to sleep." I laid down and pulled him on top of me. I put my arms around him while pulling the covers up.
"My little Ghost King. You're strong. You rule over them." I whispered gently to him. He smiled softly in his sleep while I fell asleep to the sound of his heart beating.
