Apollo to heal a broken Hades

Chapter 2- 2 days later

Nico P.O.V

Groggy and bleary eyed I awoke, in the comfort of a warm bed, and to the discomfort of the sun blaring through the window like it wanted to incinerate me. I sat up rubbing my eyes, suddenly aware of how fragile my body looked. Gods, next thing I knew I'd be commanding my own corpse, I began to notice what Solace was saying.

Hunger gnawed at my stomach, making it seem like it was eating itself, (was that even possible), but I just groaned, the sun blinding my will to do anything.

"Will someone get rid of that freaking, fiery ball of gas." I muttered under my breath, remembering the time I had first met Apollo, finding out he was in fact the sun god. Gods, memories, painful suckers.

Apollo hadn't been the first god/ goddess I had met, no Artemis held the honours to that. The bitch who took my sister away from me. Gods, I hoped she couldn't read my thoughts of something, or next thing I know, a flaming arrow would shatter all in its wake.

"Sleeping beauty awakes." I turned abruptly, suddenly startled. The truth is, hardly anything startles the son of Hades, usually we do the startling, blending into the shadows and all, but when there's a guy sitting in the same room as you, next to your bed, obviously having only just awoken from a sleep, that's got to illicit some reaction.

"Hades for real, Will what the fuck are you doing in here." I asked, partially angry that there was a guy possibly watching me sleep, partially feeling the skeletal butterflies with the fact that someone actually cared enough to fall asleep, and partially wondering what the fuck he was doing in my room, he was no pervert as far as I was concerned.

"Sorry, I was just worried sunshine." I rolled my eyes at that, gods, no one was meant to worry about me, only Bianca held the honours to that, and she was gone. I felt a pang in my chest at that thought, poor Bianca, how glad I was she had reached Elysium.

Will cautiously walked over to the bed, putting his hand into my own. I abruptly pulled it away, both with the sudden warmth, from
the son of Apollo's hand, and the embarrassment at the gesture, Okay, I didn't know much about Social interactions- who was I kidding I knew nothing, but I was pretty sure you didn't just hold someone's hand. Despite everything though, it came with a feeling of ecstasy, and I hated myself for it. For hades sake, I hardly knew the guy. Let alone know if he was even gay. What was wrong with me?

He rolled his eyes at me briefly, "Nico seriously, I'm a healer, I need your hand so I can check to make sure you ain't about to disappear into the shadows."

"What?" I asked quickly and questionably, raising my worried eyebrows at him, "And why do you even care Will, have you forgotten who my father is."

"Gods your thick Death Boy." He held up a hand to stop me from commenting, good thing he did. "Firstly, the use of underworld magic is going to kill you, I discussed this with you earlier." Will sounded slightly annoyed at both my ignorance and bad memory.

"I need to check your strength levels, to make sure you aren't going to disappear on me." The serious tone in his voice, that radiated authority for these wings, bore into me. He implied that he wasn't joking, and that scared the shit out of me.

Will must have seen something stir in my face, for his features softened, and he knelt down next to me. I blushed bright red, staring down at my shoes with a sudden interest. I couldn't believe I had let the emotion show on my face. I thought I had mastered the art of building the walls, and painting them to make it seem as if I was coping.

"Secondly Di-Angelo," his tone was softer now, more friendly, more- Will. "I've always cared about you, a lot of people do. Piper, Percy, Annabeth, Frank, Leo, Jason, and Hazel especially. Don't ever think of yourself as crap or unworthy, because you aren't. There are so many people who care for your health, 2 days you've been asleep, and each and every one of them has visited you." He took a deep breath, like it was taking a lot out of him to explain to me that people cared, it was taking a lot out of me to understand. Will sounded so passionate though, it made me want to never forget it, but I knew better though.

"I fell asleep watching you last night as I worried that much. I swear to the gods, if you think that no body cares about you, you've got to be awfully dense." He placed his hand upon mine, and it took me a moment to process the fact that this time it wasn't medical. The electric shocks waking up my body, weren't elicited by magic healing. From the distance I heard someone calling Will, and not before he flashed me a sympathetic smile saying "At the least one more day Di-Angelo, at the least." He disappeared.
