Nico

When both of us finally stopped laughing, we both continued to eat our food, I think we were talking about Pegasus, but I'm not sure because I wasn't paying attention to the conversation. I was too busy paying attention to the white scar on tan skin that starts mid neck and goes down and under his shirt collar.

"Will where did you get this scar?" I asked in a soft tone in case it was a sensitive question.

"During the battle of Manhattan, I was doing my job as battle medic and was trying to get more injured people to the infirmary that we'd set up, when I monster run up behind me and the guy I was healing on stop because he had a broken rib. He did this with his claws," when he said the last line he lifted his shirt to show the full scar. It ran almost the full length of his back, against what my mind said was executable and reached my hands out and ran it over the scar. I didn't like the scar at all, it meant something had hurt Will and that didn't set when with me. When i'd finished running my hands up the scar it disappeared, it disappeared, poof it was gone.

"Will I don't know what happened but the scar disappeared, poof gone you don't have the scar anymore." This wasn't normal scars just don't disappear.

"What were you doing and thinking before it disappeared?" Will said this so calmly it helped me calm down, if the doctor thinks it's alright then I won't worry.

"I ran my hand up and down the scar and I was thinking how I didn't like your scar because I meant something had hurt you," I knew I was blushing now there was no way not to when I was saying that.

"Awww," Will was blushing now. "umm Nico could you take off your shirt?" Now it makes sense why he was blushing to the tips of his ears. I didn't trust my voice to speak so I nodded my head and took of my favorite black shirt.

"Well Nico I think the son of Hades can get rid of scars." That was probably true since I didn't have any scars any more and Will's just vanished.

"How does that even work?"

"Magic," was all Will granted me as a responce.

"I'm going to sleep sleep now we do have a quest tomorrow.

"Ok, good night, don't let the bed bugs bit, acually thats impossible the infirmary won't have bed bugs for as long as I live" Will started as a joke that ended terribly.

"Keep me awake any longer and that won't be for long," I like my sleep he isn't gonna keep me from sleeping i don't care how cute he is.

….time…..

Everything is black, blacker than black true endless darkness every which way. Nobody knew, Nobody is ever going to care that I fell into the black endless pit, they call Tartarus. I'm just the gay, time confused, son of Hades, nobody will ever want me, Zeus killed my mother, Hades put us in a stupid hotel where I never aged and never learned about the world. He sent someone else to get us out of the stupid hotel, put us in a stupid school where we almost got killed, let us go to a stupid camp, never even cared when I was crying in his castle. Bianca left me so she could be immortal and be away from her stupid gay little brother, and died. There was a slight sound of running water, the air was like acid, a red tinted light was starting to take over the darkness. The closer I got to the ground the more the fact that I was going to die seemed to wash over me. I'd never been scared of death until I was facing it, people say that death was a peaceful affair or at least that's what most of the spirts said anyway, but for me it seems the death had to make it as terrifing as possible. I could see the ground now with how fast I was falling I would hit the water under me and die. A flying monster came quick as Zeus's lightning bolt, and snached me out of the air and slammed me hard enough into the knock all oxygen from my lungs but still lighter than the fall would have been if it hadn't of snached me. The creachure was saying something.

"Don't think death will come so easy for… Nico! Nico, please wake up please for me." It started in the old monsters voice and changed to a very worried Will Solace.

I woke with Will shaking my shoulders and yelling my name. As soon as I could I stopped Will from shaking me I pulled him into a tight hug. Neither of us had bothered to put our shirts on and we really didn't even need to. I could feel hot tears and knew Will could feel then since I had my face in the crook of his neck. While I cried and cried until the tears wouldn't come anymore, he just made soothing noises and rubbed small circles in my back. Neither of us said a word, while i cried and Will was there to support me, the tears finally stopped flowing and I fell asleep in his arms.
