A New Start- A Solangelo Fanfic

Chapter 3

Nico

Nico looked at the plate in front of him, then at the grinning boy in front of him and then back to the plate. He then imagined the smallest pomegranate and it appeared in his plate. He looked up and watched Will start to frown.

"You can just eat that, you need something else. Here," Will said as he grabbed his plate and filled it with pancakes, eggs and strawberries and then gave it to Nico, taking his pomegranate. 

"Eat up death boy."

Nico looked at the pile of food, frowned and said "I can't eat that, it's way to much."

"Fine, I'll wait for you to tell me about your dream and then we can eat," Will said, leaning back to get comfortable Nico's bed.

Nico unwrapped his arms from around his legs, and jumped out of bed. In a flash Will was up too, holding Nico's arms.

Wh-what? Why is he holding my arms? Like before when he held me, he-he helped my dreams go away. It felt nice to be cared for. But he doesn't really care, all he wants if for me to not die in his watch.

Nico tried to take his arms from Will's grasp and said "what's your problem?"

"Where are you going di Angelo? You promised three days."

"I'm going to the bathroom," Nico said, yanking his arms away from Will. "Where do you think? I need to pee and brush my teeth and stuff. Paranoid much?"

Nico, walked into the bathroom and shut the door in Will's pink face.

Wow that boy is weird, but I need to get myself in check, I can't be falling for random boy I don't know. Nico thought to himself as he splashed his face with water. But he is cute when he's worried, ugg stop thinking about it, it's never going to work, you're to different from each other. Let's go back, maybe he'll leave you alone if you cooperate with him.

Nico walked out of the bathroom and sat down on the bed as far as possible away from Will as he could. Will was siting on a chair next to the bed, and was munching on some food, he face still looked a bit pink.

"You're back," Will said, looking up from his food. "Eat up death boy."

Nico rolled his eyes and pulled the plate of food. He started by poking at the strawberries. He cut them in half and then in half again. He stabbed one with a fork and slowly put it into his mouth. As he started to chew, he looked up and saw Will looking at him.

"What?" Nico asked defensively.

"Are you ready to talk about your dream?" Will asked.

Nico sighed, "my dream was about my sister, my biological sister, Bianca." Nico paused, "it was when she became a Hunter of Artemis and-", Nico gulped. "And when she died."

Nico looked back down on his food and stabbed another strawberry, and this time he stabbed it harder.

"Who were you talking to the second time? We're you talking to your sister again?"

"No, I-I wasn't, I was talking to someone else."

"Anyone you want to talk about?" Will asked.

"No."

"But it might make you feel better."

"I said no," Nico growled at Will.

"Nico I want to help."

"I don't want it, I said I can deal with it myself, so stop pushing me. I don't want to share with someone I barely know anyways."

"Okay, okay," Will said looking hurt. He put his hands up in surrender. "No more questions. We can talk about something else instead."

Nico felt bad for snapping at Will. I shouldn't have yelled at him, He thought. But I don't want him to know about my old fascination with Percy Jackson. That was embarrassing. Well I guess I could the food, maybe it will make him feel better if I eat a lot. He looked at his pancakes and cautiously took a bite.

After breakfast, Nico didn't eat everything, but Will looked satisfied enough, he pushed his plate away and looked up at Will.

Breaking the silence he said, "I'm done, what other things do I have to do, before I can leave?"

"I just have to monitor your health and such. Visitors are going to come and hang out with you while I'm gone. And I'm going to be there to make sure you eat all your meals, and not shadow travel anywhere. If you want, we can get you some books. No internet here, sorry."

"You don't trust me," Nico said. Not a question, he was stating a fact.

"I do, I just thought you would be bored without me, plus your friends want to see you. Jason, Piper, Percy, and Annabeth."

"Humph, if you say so. Since you have other people to attend to, you might as well go, I'm going back to sleep, until they get here," Nico said, placing his plate and cup on the table next to him and then went back into the bed, turned his back on Will and covered himself with the sheets.

"I don't want to leave," Will protested. "But-." He sighed, "I'll send your friends in when they get here. They're bringing you some new clothes as well."

Will left, turned off the light and shut the door, leaving Nico in the dark and with his thoughts.

Does he really trust me? I don't think so, he's using my friends to check up on me, so I'm not 'alone' and disappear. I told his I would't shadow travel or leave, but he doesn't trust me. Well at least I can-.

Nico felt his stomach lurch and felt dizzy. Ugg, what is this, my stomach, oww. He thought to himself. He tried to his feet and fell over, clutching his stomach. The gurgling sounds were coming and fast. He finally made it to his feet and stumbled over to the bathroom, collapsing in front of the toilet, right before a force unknown pushed the continents of his breakfast back out.
