Author's Note: Hiya! My Leico feels were driving me insane so I decided to write a Leico here it is. It's to the song "Bring Me to Life" by Evanscence. I suggest listening to it in background while reading this. I had to delete the lyrics sorry. :(

Nico was sitting on the mast of the ArgoII, listening to music on his Ipod. His brown hair blew in the wind. The mast the only place where he could sulk in peace. Of course there was one person who had to come and ruin it all.

"Hey Neeks!" Leo chirped happily.

The son of Hades fixed him with a death glare. Leo still wouldn't back down.

"Leave now" Nico said, through gritted teeth." I just want to be alone right now"

Leo simply sat down next to him.

"So..whatcha listening too?" he asked.

Nico pulled the earphones out of the Ipod's plug in set it on the masts hidden speakers and let his music just blare loudly so both he and Leo could listen to it. His playlist was set on shuffle and one song started to play.

Nico felt empty. No voice, no soul just an empty sad shell of loneliness. But there was one person who made him feel like he actually belonged somewhere. That person was Leo Valdez. When he looked into Nico's eyes he felt like the son of Hephaestus could see right through him. Right through all his efforts to push everyone away to cover up his pain. Oh how he hated it. Sitting next to him now made Nico feel even worse.

Nico wasn't the warmest demigod you'd meet. In fact he practically radiated coldness being the Ghost King and all. What he wanted, though he'd never admit it was to feel warm. In more ways than one.

"I'm nothing." Nico muttered. Leo stared at him, his brown eyes wide with shock.

"No your not." Leo said gently yet firmly. He pulled Nico into a warm hug, in which the Son of Hades accepted. They just sat there, holding each other.

Before he knew it Nico was sobbing...uncontrollably. All his pain over his loss over Bianca, the battle with cupid while Percy and Annabeth were in Tarturus just came flowing out of him. Leo rubbed his back soothingly, murmuring shushing sounds.

Call him cheesy but Nico did feel frozen inside without Leo. Whenever he touched him, even a tap on the shoulder, he felt warm and dare he say it...tingly. Hugging him now made him feel warm all over. In both ways.

"Leo?" Nico called, his voice ruffled by Leo's shirt. He let go of Nico, a look of concern evident on his face.

"Yeah?"

Nico's cheeks burned and turned red making his dry tears stand out against his pale face. But he looked Leo dead in the eye and said:

"Please...don't leave."

Leo embraced him once more. They were in each other's arms again.

Hazel,Percy,Frank,Piper,Jason and Annabeth ran to the mast and were shocked to find what they saw: Leo and Nico holding each other while listening to music.

"We should leave." Piper whispered, her kaleidoscope eyes sparkling with happiness.

"Yeah, let's give the two lovebirds their space." Percy said smirking.

"But I can't just leave my brother alone like this. He's always on the mast and..." Hazel stopped herself. She chided herself silently for getting in the way of her brother's one chance at love.

"Fine let's go." The daughter of Pluto said, sighing.

Together six demigods left, betting when Leo and Nico would officially get together.

Meanwhile, the two boys were oblivious to what their friends had just seen. They were only focused on one thing: being together.

Sure Nico felt dead inside. But he knew Leo Valdez could bring him back to life.

FIN!
