NICO P.O.V.

Nico had been falling for what felt like an eternity when he finally felt strong arms wrap around him and lower him to the ground, all in one swift movement. His eyes shot open to reveal a slightly pink cheeked Percy looking down at him. Really, Percy? This is not time for your stupid gay panic. Nico thought as he got to his feet.

As he looked around behind him, he watched as dozens and dozens of assorted monsters erupted out of the ground. Nico readied his sword, prepared to fight the demons. However, he swung his head in a circle as he heard Eros' cruel laugh.

The god had shrunken back into human size and raised his sword. It was possibly the oddest sword he had ever seen- pictures of loving couples doing couple-y things. But he didn't have time to focus on that.

He launched into combat with Eros- dodging, attacking, countering. He fought for half an hour before he began to tire slightly.

Nico felt his grip on his sword loosen slightly, and the god noticed too. He took advantage of the open shot. He swung that odd sword of his and knocked the sword right out of the teen demigod's hand, nearly slicing off his fingers in the process.

Nico could pretty much anticipate what was going to happen next. He honestly didn't care at this point. To the god's obvious surprise, Nico spread his arms wide open and shut his eyes closed tightly. he braced himslef for the painful blow he knew was the next step.

He heard the sword begin too decend with a sharp whistle, and shut his eyes closed tight- pushing out the warm tears he had been holding in. Leave it to Nico di Angelo to die crying.

However, the pain didn't come. What hapenned next was- as the god had earlier promised- worse than death itself. He heard an 'OOF' of breath leaving someone, and the soft thud of someone falling to the ground.

Nico's blurry eyes shot open in panic, and focused themselves at the person who had just sacrificed his life for Nico's.

Will Solace lay on the ground at his feet, an already seeping wound in his side. He seemed... amused? Nico felt himself begin to sob as he fell to the ground next to Will and clasped the older demigod's face in his hands. He could feel the boy's blood begin to soak through his jeans, and knew there was no saving him this time. Will Solace was dying.

Nico didn't want Will's final memory of him to be o f Nico yelling horrible things at him. He lowered his tear stained face down to Will's' feeling their lips connect in the softest kiss Nico had ever felt. The kiss was slightly salty, thanks to Nico's tears- but he didn't care.

The son of Hades pulled his own face away from Will's, a small smile pulling at his lips despite the situation. He looked back down at Will, and met the boy's eyes.

And Nico di Angelo watched the light fade from those beautiful blue eyes, and listened to his last breath.
