Winter

So I got this of the fanfiction net it's by mintacia

-----------------

The world outside the Hades cabin was covered by a layer of perfect, white snow. Nico wasn't one who often paused to admire to the view, but today he hesitated in front of the window. It was early in the morning, too early on a Saturday for most of the other campers to be awake. Outside his window, the snowy scene was absolutely serene, with the soft yellow sun peeking above the horizon.

Nico had always liked winter.
It took some time for Nico to get geared up. Long johns, thermal long sleeve shirt, thick socks, gloves, hat, scarf, coat – all extra components to his wardrobe. However, Nico didn't mind. There was something comforting with being wrapped up so thoroughly. Besides, most of his extra gear was a combination of his two favorite colors: black and gray.
Right as he was stuffing his gloves into his coat's pockets, the coffee pot began beeping softly. Nico couldn't help a small smile as he grabbed a thermos from his bed side. The morning was always better with a coffee, after all.

A few minutes later, the bundled boy stepped out of his cabin, his steaming thermos in his gloved hands. The chilly air tickled his nose, but otherwise Nico was wrapped up enough to not be bothered by the low temperatures. The ground crunched as he stepped out onto the lawn, his boots leaving foot prints in the pristine, crisp snow. There were no other tracks leading to or from his cabin; ever since Hazel had left to go stay in Camp Jupiter, Nico had had the cabin to himself.
The son of Hades quite enjoyed the privacy – relished it, even – but there were times where he wished he had someone else's company. With the exception of the other Big Three cabins, all the other cabins around camp were packed with life. Brothers and sisters, living and learning together.
Nico scowled. Bianca, his late sister, had chosen to be reborn, which meant he would never see her again, much less ever share a cabin with her.
A sip of delicious coffee helped take his mind off the past. As hard as it was, Nico was trying to live more in the present. It was easy to yearn for the past, but impossible to ever return to it. Anyways, there were plenty of living people for Nico to be concerned with... like Will Solace. The heat that flickered within him, as the name passed through his mind, wasn't due to the hot coffee.
Nico found himself mindlessly walking through the snowy camp, as thoughts churned in his mind. So much had happened in the last few months. It had initially been hard to adjust back to camp life, but luckily the blond son of Apollo had been more than happy to be supportive. He had even fallen into the habit of joining Nico at the Hades table for dinner.

As Nico turned a corner, he realized he had walked over to the Big House. It's baby blue walls were complemented well by the white snow on top of the roof. Unlike most of the other buildings around campus, the steps up to the front had several tracks of foot prints leading to and from it. That wasn't surprising; the Big House housed the camp's infirmary... the infirmary where Will worked.
Biting his lip, the son of Hades peered tentatively through the large window on the side of the house that looked in on the infirmary. At least two of the children of Apollo were awake, tending to patients, but neither of them were Will. Admittedly, Nico was a bit disappointed.
Not that I have a reason to be disappointed. He chided himself quickly. Him and Will were just... friends.
"Whatcha looking for, sunshine?" The cheery, familiar voice caught Nico completely off guard. He nearly choked on his sip of coffee. Sure enough, a certain blonde haired boy was leaning over the railing of the Big House's porch, a lopsided grin plastered on his face.
It took a couple of coughs for Nico to clear his lungs of the treacherous coffee. Meanwhile, Will easily hopped over the porch railing and sauntered on over to the black clothed boy.
Will was pretty thoroughly wrapped up too, but much more colorfully. His winter hat (complete with a ridiculous puff ball on top) and scarf were bold orange, while his coat was a nice shade of navy. While it wasn't black, Nico couldn't help but think that the colors looked good on Will. Well... honestly, everything looked good on Will. As much as Nico didn't like to admit it, Will Solace was extremely good looking.
