It was one of those nights, the ones with vivid nightmares that haunted his mind. Nico tossed

and turned, he finally woke up. He tried to hold back the tears, but it didn't work. He didn't care, he was alone in his cabin.

"Why do the dreams have to be so real?" he says to himself. He curled up in the corner of his bed and hugged himself. After a while he finally cried himself back to sleep, this time he had no dreams.

There was a loud knock at his door, Nico looks at his clock it reads 7:02AM "Who the fuck is here at this time?" He says to himself

Will knocked on the door again "Nico I know you're in there, open the door"

"No, its to early I'm going back to sleep!"

Will sighs and unlocks the door.

"Why is it always so dark in here?" Will asks shutting the door behind him.

"How did you get in here!?"

"I picked the lock duh" Will says sitting on the edge of Nico's bed

"I could have been naked" Nico says

"I've seen you naked before Nico"

"I'm just saying" Nico says pulling the covers over his head.

"Are you okay?, you look like you haven't slept, was it more dreams?" Will asks in a concerned voice.

"No, I'm fine... they're just dreams" Nico says not wanting to look Will in the eyes. Will pulls the covers off Nico. "I'll tell you what...if you get up and help me in the infirmary today, I'll sleep with you tonight."

"I'm not in the mood Will."

"That's not what I met di Angelo"

"Do I have to be nice to the campers?"

"Just stop telling the them you sense death" Will says slightly annoyed with Nico's people skills.

"You have a deal, Solace."

It was a long day at the infirmary, three broken arms, several sprained ankles, and five arrow removals. Both Nico and Will were exhausted, Will told Chiron that Nico's mood disorder was acting up again so he had to be watched in his sleep. Chiron didn't argue and let Will stay in the Hades cabin.

There were a few whispers from some of the Aphrodite kids, but they were to tired to care. Once they got to Nico's cabin, Will took his shirt off and kicked off his flip flops.

"Could you wait till I shut the door?"

"No, I'm tired." Will says kicking of his pants leaving him with only his sunshine covered boxers.

Nico watched Will, then realized he was staring then blushed. You'd think if you have seen someone naked several times you'd get used to it... but that's ah no.

"Nico?"

"Ah what?" Nico asks kicking off his boots reviling unicorn socks. Will laughed in his head knowing if he laughed out loud Nico would punch him.

"I said are we going to bed?"

"yeah"

Nico gets undressed leaving on his boxers which had skeletons of cats on. Nico got in first then Will.

After getting comfortable, Will was laying on his back and Nico resting his head on Wills chest. Will brushed through Nico's hair with one hand and the other was rapped around Nico's waist. They fell asleep in no time, neither had nightmares.
