The Deep End

Chapter 19: Part 2

Nico

His eyes opened to Will turning the heating on in his car, and the two of them pulled out of the parking lot of Half-Blood high.
Nico explained everything in vivid detail. Will who was in basically every medical and health class the school offered had never heard of such a dream this vivid, but he nodded along anyways eager to hear about his dream.
Nico's eyes shined with water as he got teary eyed once more remembering the beautiful, but scandalous ways Percy touched him. He told Will about this too, they were boys and Nico needed someone right now. Obviously he left out the graphic details.
The car fully warm made Nico's body relax, his lungs hurt from near drowning then hyperventilating.
Will pulled into McDonald's, and Nico's heart ached at the memory of him and Percy going together.
Nico remembered the happy meal Percy bought him. Smiling to himself at the toy he got.
The toys weren't my little pony, but the incredible or something. Just something his brain made up to fill in the blanks.
He got chicken nuggets and dipped them into a Chocolate milkshake. The weird, but comforting taste brought Nico for the first time that day grounded him.
After they finished eating Will turned back out driving his car to the condo complex where he lived.
Nico's eyes started to feel heavy after calming down, the weight of the water finally reaching him.
Nico's eyes closed once more to see the beautiful vision of Percy's ocean eyes replaying in his mind.

And the tingling sensation on his lips where they once never kissed.
