(a couple months after BoO)

Knock,knock, knock

"Solace, go away!" The son of Hades groaned, rolling over in his bed

"Nico, wake up!" Will called from outside

"Ugg," Nico pulled the obsidian colored pillow over his head- he had been having one of those ultra rare nightmare-less nights , something that hasn't for weeks, why couldn't Will just let him sleep?

"Can I come in?" Will asked from outside

"No"Nico replied

"Let me rephrase that, are you fully clothed?" Will laughed

"Yeah" Nico answered, before realizing he should have lied, because the door clicked open. Apparently, Well respected Nico's privacy enough to not walk in on him naked, but not enough to let him sleep in peace.

"Solace," nico shouted, "I thought you told me I needed to sleep more!" Nico's words were slurred from exhaustion- but they were true. Because of the nightmares- a side effect of trudging through Tartarus, nico barely slept.

"I know, but this is important!" Will stressed the syllables so as to imitate a small child whining.

"Will, I am not getting out of bed" Nico said, laughing slightly at Wills tone

Will then yanked the comforter off of Nico's bed- much to Nico's annoyance.

Nico opened his eyes- only to jump afoot in the air! Will Solace was leaned over him, with their faces about 3 inches apart. Nico would have been happy about this, if not for the fact that will was pulling a funny face worthy of a halloween mask...

...Wait... happy? Nico would be HAPPY? no! Nico would not be happy! Nico did not like the son of apollo, he refused to... Ugg, it was too early for this schist.

will was, at this point, on the other side of the room,laughing.

"Solace, what was that?" Nico shouted

"I was" wheeze "trying" wheeze "to scare you" wheeze "awake! you're face! it was hilarious!"

Nico turned bright red. he grabbed his blanket off the floor and buried his face back into his pillow.

"you know what? Fine, I'll tell you! I didn't want to tell you until after you got out of bed, or maybe let you figure it out on your own! but, of course, you're so dense-"

"Spit it out, Solace!" Nico shouted. Annoyed with will's rambling"The Romans are here!" Will announced

Romans?

Romans...

"ROMANS!" Nico shot out of bed, eager to see Hazel, Frank, and Reyna!

ALTERNATE ENDING BECAUSE LOL

"Nico's face turned bright red. He grabbed his blanket off the floor and buried his face back into his pillow.

Will holds up a white paper bag

"But i got Mcdonalds!" He says

Nico throws his pillow at will

"Go away, Solace"
