Solangelo at Hogwarts

Oh cool, I'm a disappointment

(Nico)

Will looked happy hen I submitted to his doctor antics, he asked me questions like 'How much are you sleeping?' 'How much are you eating?' 'How do you feel?' and I answered him truthfully because if I didn't, and he found out, I'd be hanged.

"You are not sleeping or eating enough, it's practically a miracle your still awake." He said as he jotted down information. "I'm gonna leave you to get some rest Nico, but when you wake up you are going to eat and then I'll give you some nectar to help you regain your strength and heal whatever wounds you got from the war."

He left the lights on and exited the room quietly. I felt the familiar tug of sleep, and I prayed I wouldn't get nightmares.

I had no idea that Nico was so sleep and food deprived. I hope he'd be okay, I mean the kid survived TARTARUS, ALONE. At least Percy and Annabeth had each other... but Nico did it without anyone there.

I worked on a couple more patients before I had a break, I went to the Apollo cabin and sat down on the new couch we'd saved up money to buy. After a couple minutes I heard screaming, and the light were flickering before they completely shut off. I ran outside and saw the shadows darkening and swirling, skeletons were coming out of the ground causing it to shake. A few demigods were trying to shepherd the younger campers to safety, but their was one kid that was running around screaming "THE WORLD IS ENDING, RUN OR DIE. MAY THE ODDS BE EVER IN YOUR FAVOR." and a bunch of other things I couldn't make out.

Jason and Hazel ran up to me, "Nico." Hazel said out of breath. I nodded and made my way to the infirmary with them close behind.

I burst through the door to the young son of Hades room and saw him sprawled out on his bed screaming, crying, and shaking.

He was having a nightmare, a REALLY bad nightmare....

(Nico) (italics is his dream, okay?)

The ground of Tartarus was like broken glass, scraping my skin. The fiery river before me made me uncomfortably hot as I tried to escape the chains that were holding me down.

Then an image of my mother showed up, exactly like I remembered her. "MAMA!" I screamed with tears streaking down my face.

She looked at me disgusted and said "THIS IS YOUR FAULT, I AM DEAD BECAUSE OF YOU!! You didn't even have the guts to visit me! How pathetic, you are no son of mine." Then she gripped my chin, forcing me to look her in the eyes and she whispered "You deserve to be here." then she vanished.

I fell to my knees and cried before I heard someone say something. "You're weak, look at you, you couldn't save me or mama. If you weren't my brother I'd be alive. When you die I hope you come here so you can be punished for what you've done." and in a flash she was gone too.

Lastly came Will, he looked at me with cold, hard eyes and said "You're gay?Disgusting. I don't care about you, I just heal you because it's my job, I'd prefer if you'd just die."

I was screaming, tears were pouring down my face, wave after wave of cruel things were said to me, I felt awful, I was ready to give up....

"NICO!!" I heard a voice say. "NICO GET UP!" I felt two hands grab my shoulders and pull me into a hug. I woke up with a start to see none other that Will Solace hugging me like I was his life line with Hazel right behind him looking terrified.

"What, what's wrong?" I asked in a shaky voice.

Will let go of me and looked into my eyes he said softly "I should be asking you that, you had another nightmare and your powers went berserk..."

My face fell as I recalled the dream, tears threatened to fall, but I couldn't, I WOULDN'T let them. Will whispered "Are you okay?" I nodded and he pulled me into another hug, I went stiff before I hugged him back.

I didn't know how long I was there, but eventually the others trickled out, leaving just us two.

Will let go and looked at my tired expression and the tear tracks down my cheeks.

"Do you want to go to sleep?" He asked. I thought about it, I was so tired I was swaying slightly, but the thought of more nightmares was terrifying. Hazel had left the room a few minutes ago and it was night time already, so I might as well.

"Yes." I whispered.

He nodded and turned off the lights and was about to leave when I said "Will, wait! Could you...stay with me?" I asked quietly.

He gave a small smile and said "Sure, just let me get into my pajamas." when he returned in pants with tiny suns on them and no shirt I was a bit surprised.

He blushed "Errm, sorry. I can put a shirt on if you want?" I knew I was blushing too, but honestly I didn't care.

"No, your fine." He smiled again and I scooted over to make room for him. He was warm, and he gave me space, luckily the cot was big enough for that. I wanted so badly to confess, but I didn't want to ruin the comfortable silence. Within a few minutes I was asleep, and I had no nightmares.

Hi, how's it going?

Well, I'm doing okay. Can someone please comment on who should confess first? Thank you if you do. Bye! 😁
