Thank you Demigod-Wizard-Gatekeeper for reminding me of something important. I completely forgot it was the Hephaestus cabin who organized the fireworks. My bad and I apologize for that. Now onto the one-shot inspired by a few headcanons I've seen.
People commended Annabeth and Percy for surviving Tartarus. But what everyone seemed to forget is that Nico did as well. And he didn't have Will, Hazel, Reyna, or anyone. Just himself.
And that made things even worse for him. Annabeth and Percy had each other to comfort when they had nightmares. And after being in Tartarus any sane person, even demigods, would have nightmares for weeks, months, maybe even years.
For Nico, it felt like he'd have nightmares for the rest of his life.
"You okay, Neeks?"
Nico turned to face Will. The two had stayed up late so Will just crashed in the Hades Cabin. And at that moment, the son of Apollo looked pretty concerned for his boyfriend.
"Yeah. Sure." Nico replied. But even he knew the lie sounded weak. He felt arms wrap around him. "Fine. I was having a bad dream."
"Wanna talk about it?" Will asked. He knew his boyfriend hated to appear weak. But if Nico needed him, then Will would make sure the son of Hades was taken care of whether he liked it or not.
"Not really. Just...don't leave," Nico snuggled into the warmth and safety of Will's arms. He felt his eyelids grow heavy. Right before he fell asleep, he heard Will's soft voice.
"Never."
Nico didn't have any more nightmares for a while after that.
AN: I know I said I was going to do Clarisse and Chris but I wanted you guys to review to tell me what you want their one-shot to be about.
Kitkat Out!
