Nico and Will sat down at the campfire. Most of the other campers were already there and were singing along to the Apollo cabin's instruments. They were singing along to Castle by Halsey.
I'm headed straight for the castle
They wanna make me their queen
And there's an old man sitting on the throne that's saying that
I probably shouldn't be so mean
I'm headed straight for the castle
They've got the kingdom locked up
And there's an old man sitting on the throne that's saying
I should probably keep my pretty mouth shut
Straight for the castle
Nico just sat and watched Will as he made hand gestures as he sang. Nico thought Will looked really cute but would never say that to him. He looked away and let his thought wander. He thought about his first love, a guy named Percy, and wondered what if he was happy with Annabeth. Of course he's happy he chastised. Percy and Annabeth were the perfect couple. His thoughts then wandered to Hazel. He suspected his half-sister was with Frank, helping him become a great praetor with Reyna. Jason and Piper were most likely at Camp Jupiter too. And Leo. Poor Leo. Nico still couldn't figure out the weird feeling about Leo he had. The boy had died and that was it.
"Neeks. Please sing. For me!" Nico was pulled out of his thoughts with Will looking at him.
"No Will. I will not sing. Never ever", he said stubbornly. Will looked at him with his puppy dog eyes, pleading with him. Nico just shook his head.
"Fine", Will huffed. "If you won't sing then you have to dance", he said as he pulled Nico off the log. A new song started. Nico groaned. It was the Macarena. "Come on Neeks. Dance!" Will said as he crossed his hands over his waist. Nico just stood there and watched, glaring. Will put his hands on top of Nico's and moved his hands to the beat. Once the torture of the song had ended, Nico promptly sat down on his log again. "Wasn't that fun?" Will asked as he sat beside him. Nico scowled at him and he frowned. "Come on. Please sing. You don't have to sing out loud. Just in my ear", he said as he leaned over with his hand cupped behind his ear. One of the boys from the Ares cabin walked over to the Apollo cabin band and started beating a drum. They were playing the song Kings by Tribe Society. Nico loved this song but he would never tell Will that either. He tried to descreatly tap his foot to the music. Of course Will saw him doing so and his eyes widened in shock. "Neeks! I didn't know you liked this song!" he said as he pulled Nico off his log again. "Come on! Sing with us!"
I ain't at home
Home's where I'm going
I close my eyes to see
I'll take my throne, lay it on a mountain
And make myself a king
I said whoa oh oh, whoa oh oh
Make myself a king
I said whoa oh oh, whoa oh oh
Make myself a king
Nico still refused to sing. Will sighed but didn't try again.
Hours Later
Nico was in his cabin, lying in his bed. He couldn't get to sleep. He started humming a song by Imagine Dragons.
In youth you'd lay
Awake at night and scheme
Of all the things that you would change,
But it was just a dream!
He hummed softly to himself. The song was calming and making him sleepier. He knew no one would be awake now, it was too late in the night. He started to get a bit louder and louder. Soon he was singing at a normal tone. He rolled onto his side, facing the wall and sung a bit louder. Soon his eyes wouldn't stay open for any longer. He fell into a good sleep, with the song still playing in his head. He had no dreams.
