Leo's POV:

It was after the war with Gaea and things with Calypso didn't work out very well...turns out she wasn't really in love with me. She fell in love with some Apollo kid and I've been really out of it lately. As of now, I'm laying in bed, staring at the ceiling in Bunker 9. I haven't been able to sleep very well for about 3 days. I'm pretty sure it's because I've been having more horrifying nightmares than usual.

I, finally, manage to fall asleep but it doesn't last very long.

I feel my whole body being shaken awake.

"W-What... Who is it? What d-do you want?" I mutter, dazed from being woken up. 

It's the person I least expected to see.

 Nico. 

He's always given me a weird vibe but I don't find him creepy or intimidating like most people do. He's mysterious but in a good kind of way. I didn't realize I zoned out until Nico starts waving his hands in my face.

"Oh. Sorry... But, what are you doing in here?" I ask, looking up at him in confusion.

"Well I was walking to my cabin but as I went by, I heard screaming." He says.

"Oh...well...yeah. I'm okay, I guess. Not dying anything, so you can leave now if you want," I reply looking down at my comforter and slowly run my fingers over the soft material.

"Are you sure? You seem pale and you're cold. You seem like...me and that definitely isn't good," He let out a small laugh, that didn't quite reach his eyes.

"I doubt I'm gonna get any sleep now..." I mumble.

"Um...I could uh...stay in here, with you. If you want?" He asks in almost a whisper.

"Sure...I don't see why not," I shrug.

"But, are you sure you're okay? You seem kind of out of it." He sounds like he's genuinely worried. Weird.

"Yeah I'm fine. Just had a lot on my mind lately. With the whole 'Calypso doesn't actually love me' thing. Even though I'm the one who rescued her..." I groan, flipping over to stuff my face into a pillow.

"Trust me I know what it feels like... But not everything happens the way we want it to, sadly." Nico says and I almost missed the first part of what he said because he said it barely above a whisper.

"Why does the universe not want me to find happiness?! At the rate I'm gonna grow up to be an old dude whose only friends are cats!" I yell into the pillow.

Nico doesn't reply and it's quiet for a moment and then I hear laughing. I turn over and prop myself onto my elbows. I stare at Nico with wide eyes because I've never heard him laugh, especially at something I've said.

"What?" He looks at my confused expression and his laughing fades into a small smile.

"I've never heard you laugh before. It's nice." I say as a smile makes its way onto my face as well.

"Thanks... I'm not dead ya know. I can still laugh... I just don't find things, that most people say, funny." He shrugs. "But where am I going to sleep?" Nico asks as he looks around the room seeing that there isn't anywhere to, really, sleep. I would say he could sleep on the couch but its piled in tools and things at the moment and I don't really wanna move that right now.
