Nico was being forced to go to Hogwarts by his father. It's been two years since Nico and Will had gotten together. Nico was still a bit weak from the war but not enough to kill him every time he summons the dead. As the new professor at Hogwarts, h...
"No, it's Bob the builder checking the plumbing after you dissed Chiron confronting you about your dying Boyfriend."
"NICO! It is you! No one has that much sarcasm and sass." He ran over to the bedroom looking for me. He turned the light on the darkroom and I hissed from the corner of the room.
He eloped me into a nice bear hug. "I thought I lost you. I thought you went back to Hades's realm."
"Well," I grimaced. "I thought I did, I thought about the shadows taking me home and they brought me to your bed."
Will was confused, I laughed a rare laugh. "What I'm trying to say is that you are my home. Even the darkness knows it."
Will smiled and gave me another bear hug. "I'm sorry. I'm so so so sorry. You can tell me on your own time. I just wanted to help." he took a deep breath, "I'll share my secret with you."
Nico frowned. "No, you don't. Share on your own time."
"No... No, I want to." He said.
"When I was little - before I came to camp half-blood- I had a twin brother, he was my best friend, my other half. I loved him with my whole heart. One day when I was twelve and we had to go 'camping' I was pulled from my tent by a Sayter. Nonsense was being spewed over some kind of god blood in me. That I was part god, I tried to tell my brother but the Sayter wouldn't let me. I was told he was not a Halfblood." he paused to look at me. I watched him earnestly.
He sighed, "It was rare, we were twins, together forever." he paused again. I placed my hand on Will's and curled up next to him. "I went, looked around but my brother was never there. One day when I was fourteen - two years ago- I went to visit him. I looked different than him, I had my surgical clothes on because I left right after preforming surgery and had bigger muscles than his, scars that he didn't have. He still had his scrawny arms with his regular toned sculpture- even after being a tennis player. His eyes weren't broken like mine. When I saw him I couldn't believe that it could have been me if I stayed. When he saw me he was shocked yet amazed.

"He also looked mad. My mom hugged me as she opened the door nearly falling apart with emotions. 'You leave me for two years and you come back looking better than before.' he scoffed, 'You must have a lovely girlfriend. You must have lived in luxury over there while we lived here alone in your absence.' He referred to himself and our mother. I had tears in my eyes and told him it was no luxury to see your friends die, to not watch as your patent moved on to a different life in your arms. He scoffed at me and told me I was making up some bull shit story, that my stethoscope around my neck meant nothing." He had tears in his eyes as Nico looked up. He gave Will a kiss on the cheek and encouraged him to keep going. "I didn't have the courage to tell him that I was Gay, so instead I set my bag down and examined him. I held out my hand, palm face up. I closed my eyes and whispered a Hymn, I reopened my hand and spoke 'You broke your arm when I was gone, Shane. You also tried to play football and you got a concussion about four or so weeks ago, you really shouldn't be out of bed. You also have... No... nevermind.' I told him. I could tell easily that he had anorexia and depression.
