I wake up in an all white and way too familiar room. It used to feel just like a second home to me, considering the amount of time I used to spend here or in a room similar to this one.
With him.
I sit up on the bed looking around. Just like I remember doing on the first time I came, aka had been forced to come, here.
"Soooo here's your room!" Will explains. He opens the door for me and I walk into the room. "What do you think?" He asks smiling and I look around the room. It's a small, simple room. There's a single bed in the middle and a wardrobe against the wall. "It's..." I start thinking about what to say "white." I finally conclude and Will's eyes widen.
"You don't like it? Oh Gods! I can change it for you, maybe bring some curtains and new furniture." Will starts rambling and pacing around the room. Seeing his worried expression I start to laugh. I can't recall the last time I really laughed. "No, Sunshine." I say squeezing his shoulder. "It's a good thing. Have you seen how they decorated the Hades' cabin? I swear people think that I'm a vampire!" I say with a smile on my face. That's a foreign feeling for me.
"Oh!" Will says, his mouth forming an 'o' shape and he nods. "Sorry, Death Boy." He says grinning and I give him a small smile. "It's fine." I whisper.
The memory comes back like a knife that has been craved in my back.
"It's not fine." I say loudly to no one in particular, not even for myself.
Being without Will hurts. It hurts more than anything I had ever felt.
I guess I had just grown accustomed to happiness.
But I'm a son of Hades after all. And to me, happiness will never last.
