When they got back to Camp, Will was ready to storm off but Nico stopped him. Nico took him to the Hades cabin and sat Will down on his bed. Nico studied the blonde haired boy intensely. He tried to read Will but he had put a wall so high that Nico could only see brick. After a while Nico sat next to Will. Still no words were exchanged, only stares. Almost out of nowhere Will kissed Nico. As the kiss got more intense flashes of Wills memories and feelings flooded through Nico. He pushed Will away and inched away from him.
"I dont want to be haunted by your memories, Will. Stop doing this to me." Nicos voice began to break.
Nico had his own memories and emotions to deal with he didn't need anyone else.
"I keep on reliving the moments, I don't want to remember them anymore."
"Why are you so afraid? Tell me, why do you cower about confronting your memories Will? It's been a year, how much longer can you take in the darkness, Will?" Nico wanted to say more but it struck him that he sounded an awful lot like Cupid.
Will shivered, he used to radiate heat but now that wasn't the case. Will sat back down, close to Nico.
"No matter how hard I try I can't forget my time with Aka Manah." Will took Nicos hand, "When I'm alone, the voices still rage in my head...but when I'm with you they stop." There was a moment of silence then Will muttered, "Nico, I'm sorry."
Will lay down on the bed and motioned for Nico to lay down with him. Nico glared at him. Will closed his eyes and curled up like a cat. In a matter of moments Will fell asleep, only to be greeted with reliving one of his biggest mistakes.
