Nico's P.O.V

Nico was walking upto the tree near his and Bia's spot, when he heard someone singing. To be honest, it sounded so sad and depressing that he wanted to give the person a hug. As he reached closer, the wordings became clearer.

Can I clear my conscience,
If I'm different from the rest,
Do I have to run and hide? (oh oh oh oh)

I never said that I want this,
This burden came to me,
And it's made it's home inside (oh oh oh oh)"

He was singing 'Monsters'! Nico has a flashback. He is sitting under the staircase, when his father was not home, and hugging the Hades figurine that Bia had given him, as he sings this exact same song, and tears roll down his eyes.

I never said that I want this,
This burden came to me,
And it's made it's home inside (oh oh oh oh)"

He can understand what that person is going through. As he nears the tree, he realizes it's Will.

He reaches upto him and touches his shoulder, when a word comes out of his mouth. He didn't remember ever associating this word with Will, but it kinda suited him, yanno?

"Sunshine?"

Will froze as he turned to look around at him. Then he fell down, shrugging away from the touch.

Nico looks at him, and can literally see his eyes shatter.

"Please, go… away" Will says.

But Nico Di Angelo plops right down next to him. He knew when a person needed someone next to him, and when he did not. He hated having caused Will this much pain, and that was him saying this when he only had snippets of his memories.

"Look Will. I don't remember much about the past couple of weeks. I have a couple of memories, and from what I gathered from me eavesdropping on Bia…" Will raised an eyebrow, and Nico shoved him "Hey! Don't give me that look, they were talking about me! Anyways, apparently we were in love?"

Will hesitated before nodding. He could see that he was holding back his tears for his sake.

"Ok. So, to be honest, I don't wanna fall in love with you" a tear slips down his cheek "Because of what Bia and mom said. If I fall for you it should be because of you. So let's… begin this again?"

He wipes away Will's tears, then reaches his hands out for Will to shake.

"I… Neeks, I am not… not safe. I will hurt you… whatever hap-happened maybe it was for the – the best"

Nico rolls his eyes, grabs his hand tightly and says "Sunshine, I am dead, I am pretty sure you can't hurt me anymore."

"So… Hi! I am Nico Di Angelo, son of Hades and Maria Di Angelo"

"Hi… I am Will Solace, son of Apollo and Elena Solace."

"Glad to meet you Will"

"Same here Nico."
