Nico was laying down on his bed, he could see the light slip through the windows. He turned around to the wall grumbling, he was never a morning person. He was awoken by the sound outside his cabin, he was guessing everyone was preparing for breakfast in the dining pavilions. He got up and rubbed his eyes, he tried to focus on the wall clock he set infront of his bed.
11:00 am
Nico sighs, he overslept again. He stood up and stepped into some pieces of paper on the floor. He took it.
Ah yes, I was writing a love letter huh?
The son of Hades fold the paper neatly and placed it in one of the envelopes strewn on the floor. He wrote an address and got a gift box safely tuck on his cabinet. He opened it. Nico got the letters out from the box and sat down on his bed.
4 letters
He started writing this letters a year after meeting his first love. He had the idea from a movie he saw once. Since he didn't have friends and his emotions are threatening to burst any moment, he decided to write them down. One letter to each special person he met. He will never send it no, he wouldn't even dare tell anyone that the letters existed because this letters was too close to heart. They were his soul written in words and anyone who read it will know who he was.
What he was.
Nico was contemplating on rereading them all when he heard a knock on his door. He clicked his tongue and took his letters, secured them on the gift box and safely hid them on his cabinet. He kicked the extra papers and envelope below his bed and double check if any evidence of letter writing was out. When he deemed his room clean and ready for intrusion he opened the door only to be greeted by a bright smile.
"Good morning di Angelo"
Leo Valdez stood in front of the Hades cabin, he had grease all over his clothes, nothing new there.
"What do you want Valdez?"
"I was worried man, didn't see you this breakfast. Slept late?"
"Yeah"
"Anyway, Jason and Piper Iris messaged me this morning, they said they'd be staying for 3 days more on Camp Jupiter, some shrines need more working on. Jason panicked when I told him I didn't see you this morning."
Nico heaved a sigh. The two boys walked together to the dinning pavilions. The son of Hades maintained his distance, he didn't like touching or to be touched. Leo continued to blabber on and on about the new project the Hephaestus cabin was working on, Nico was half listening. The son of Hephaestus is charming in his own way but not this certain time of the day, Nico wasn't fully functional as he just woke up.
"Great"
Leo regarded him for a minute.
"Not a morning person are you, grumpy cat?"
"I'm not grumpy"
Nico insisted, Leo shrugged his shoulders. He walked towards his table, since her sister Hazel was on Camp Jupiter, he had no one to share his table with. He relaxed sitting down, finally, silence. He was filling his plate with food when he caught a glimpse of a certain blond staring at him. He gulped, he risked a glance. Scratched that, the blond was glaring at him, determined to drill a hole at the back of his head. Will Solace has always been strict about Nico's health, he thinks its Will's doctor complex, wanting to save everyone and keep everyone healthy. He wished that sometimes the son of Apollo wasn't too concerned about his health. He was eating his breakfast thinking of how he'll reason his way out to Will, somehow he was blushing with the impending confrontation and he was trying to fight it down.
