Last Kiss

This could only happen to Nico. Of course. Why would he think his luck would change? He was destined to be sad throughout his life.

People would have disagreed earlier, but not anymore. Will would have disagreed earlier, but not anymore.

He wasn't alive to disagree with him anymore. No one was there to disagree anymore.

He didn't blame Will for dying or what he did after he died, he blamed himself, to think up a fantasy where he could live forever with Will.

He was currently in his cabin, clutching the photos of himself and Will from their first date. Will had taken him to an amusement park, where they had gone to a photo booth and took dorky pictures along with him. He had later framed the photos and gifted them to Nico on their 1 year anniversary.

Tears streamed down his face, as the memories of the past week came rushing back to him.

How Nico had asked him to promise that they would come out of this battle alive. How they had shared a kiss before jumping into battle, Nico rushing towards the monsters, trying to protect the younger campers, and Will had rushed to take the injured to the infirmary. How Nico had been surrounded within a couple of minutes, and he was able to kill half of them, before a manticore had decided to put his tail through Nico's body. How Will figured out what was about to happen, and had jumped in front of Nico, protecting him with his body. How Nico had let loose a guttural cry, letting his powers flow through his body, destroying all the monsters within his range. How the last words that had slipped from Will's mouth were I love you. How he had rushed him to the infirmary, even though his life force had already vanished on the way. How he had sat with him nearby, touching his face, playing with his hair, hoping, no, knowing that he was just asleep. How he had spent hours singing. No one had come anywhere near them. Will's siblings had arrived, had kissed the top of his head, and had watched from a distance. No one dared come close to the son of hades. Percy and Jason, and other had come to take him back to his cabin to get him to go back to sleep, but he had just glared at them, and instead, laid down next to Will, cuddling his boyfriend, close to his heart. Except his heart wasn't beating. He was forced to accept the fact that Will was not going to come back to him. Still he pulled him close to his body, not letting him go. When he had woke up, he had turned to kiss him, but his body had stiffened. It was not a nightmare after all. When he had realized what his next best step was.

He had shadow travelled to the underworld, walking into Elysium. He was directed to where Will was staying. He had knocked, hoping that Will would be glad to see him. Except he wasn't. He was met with cold eyes.

"Will?"

"What are you doing here?" was the answer he had received. And in a voice he had never expected from Will. It was his worst nightmare come alive.

"I… I came to see you sunshine."

"There is no need for that. Look, to be honest with you, I was just playing around with you, I didn't love you, and me saving you was just my doctor's side acting up. You do know how I get when I see someone in trouble, but what we had was nothing. I'm sorry, but you aren't really the kind of guy I would go after." Will had said while shrugging, like it was something which didn't matter to him much.

Nico didn't even have it in him to punch him in the face.

"Are... Are you sure? I mean you are not kidding right?" Nico's voice had cracked and he was extremely vulnerable at that moment.

"Do I look like I am kidding?" Will had said, and then shut the door on Nico's face with a finality that meant that he was not welcome here.

Nico had stood there for hours before shadow travelling up. He had taken care of Will's funeral, and then had disappeared into his cabin not to come out for weeks.

He hadn't eaten since Will's death, nor did he want to eat.

He had tried to contact Lee, Michael and his other friends trying to ask them about how Will was coping up, they had all said that he was fine, moving along in his life, no one was judging him there and he was finally happy.

He had nodded and had let them go. He had then gone back to clutching his photos. He had visited Will's cabin and had brought all of his hoddies with him, wearing them on a daily basis. He had it still smelt like Will, and that gave him comfort. And after all, Will did die wearing his hoddie, so he just kinda had to get back to him in some way or another. So hoddies it was.

He ends up getting reckless, after all he didn't have anyone left in his life that mattered to him as much as Will did, and so, he really didn't give a dam right now. He started going in the forest to fight monsters on a daily basis. He just woke up, fought with monsters, came back and slept in the night, and did the same thing the other day. His friends were worried, but thought that he would get better with time, so they left him to his devices.

His anger was the only thing fuelling him right now. Then one day, he gets attacked by a horde of monsters. He overuses his powers, and since he hadn't been eating for almost a week, he started fading.

When he reaches Elysium, though he wasn't expecting any kind of a welcome, what he does receive is a punch from Will. On his face. And it hurt.
