Aaaaaand I'm back, people! :D

So, I was wondering if 'yall wanted to follow my instagram account, possessed . by . fandoms (without the spaces) and theghoulmetaltitans

Okay, back to the story :3

(Soooo sorry that it took so long! But i finally finished this chapter! :D )

"Well? Nico. Please, tell me why you wont let me help. What's wrong?" Will was inches away from Nico's face. If he wanted to, Nico could just lean forwards and close the gap.

But he held back.

If Will didn't know now, then he wasn't going to ruin their friendship by telling him his most hated secret.

Nico must have been doing something to cause Will to worry, because he then said,

"Nico, you can tell me anything. I'm not going to hate you."

Nico looked up into Will's eyes. They were a bright, clear blue, full of truth and no sign of hate anywhere.

Nico sighed. "Alright, but only if the others leave the room. Jason, Percy and Annabeth can stay."

Will's smile was so bright and contagious, that Nico felt the corners of his mouth curving upwards slightly. He quickly scowled to squash any chance of that happening.

Once the room was empty, except for Will, Percy, Annabeth, Jason and Nico, the son of Hades began to speak.

"I let Percy, Jason and Annabeth stay because they already knew."

"Knew what?" Will asked, tilting his head slightly.

"I was getting to that. Now, let me finish. Anyways," Nico closed his eyes tight. He was going to regret this. "See, I- I'm... gay." He said the last word so quietly, he was sure that if the son of Apollo was any further away, he wouldn't have been able to hear him.

Will was silent for a while. So were Annabeth, Percy and Jason. No doubt watching as Will's face slowly turned into one of disgust.

Finally, Nico couldn't take it anymore and opened his eyes.

Will was staring at him with such an intense look in his blue eyes and a huge smile on his face. The other three demigods were behind Will, smiling and giving each other silent fist bumps and high-fives.

"S-so. you're not freaked out, or- or grossed out by me?" Nico asked skeptically.

"What?! No! Why would I be?" Will looked genuinely shocked to hear Nico say that.

"W-well, in Italy, people were dying because they were gay, and they were shunned." Nico told him, not meeting the blond's eyes.

"Nico, that was a long time ago! People are better with it now!"

"Really?" Nico asked, hopefully.

"Yeah! Nico, come on, my dad was with a bunch of men!" Will smiled, on the verge of laughing, then added quietly, "I guess that was one of his talents that I inherited"

"What?" Nico asked, not sure if he heard him right.

"Yeah. I'm gay too!" He looked at Nico, blinding the smaller boy with his smile.

Nico was more than shocked. He never expected Will, the bright and cheerful son of Apollo, to be into guys. He just seemed like the type of boy that would be all over girls, and they would be all over him.

Nico must have been staring, because Will suddenly waved a hand in front of his face.

"Nico, hey Nico. You still with us?"

"Huh? Oh, yeah. Sorry." He felt a blush quickly spread over his face and hoped Will didn't notice.

"So, you're going to let me take care of you now?" He asked, a serious tone to his normally friendly voice.

"I guess so." He replied, a tiny smile appearing on his lips.

"Great! Now, Jason, Percy, Annabeth. As much as I like you guys, Nico is seriously close to death and I need you all out of his room so I can have a proper environment to take care of him in." Will said that all in one breath, and Nico stared as the three demigods left without a word, but large smiles on their faces nonetheless.

"Alright Deathboy, sit up and shirt off."

"E-excuse me, what?!"

Will sighed, a small smirk tugging at his mouth. "I need to check those werewolf scratches that I tried so hard to heal, which are no doubt infected now."

Nico felt guilt prickling at his stomach, ashamed of running away and causing his friends so much trouble.

"Hey, Nico. You know it's okay, right? None of us are mad at you."

"Yeah, I know." I know that you all are actually mad at me, but aren't saying anything because you feel bad for me. Nico thought bitterly.

Will didn't look convinced, but he smiled nonetheless. "Good, now, shirt off." And without waiting for a reply from Nico, he tugged the ripped black shirt off.

"Oh, no. Yeah, those are definitely infected." Will noted.

He turned around and pulled out a bottle of some sort of medicine. The son of Apollo then squirted it on his hands and rubbed it over the infected wounds. Nico couldn't help but blush at the close contact.

Stop. You shouldn't be thinking like this. It's just going to be another Percy again. Even though he is gay, he definitely doesn't like people like you. He'll probably just find another guy. Nico thought sadly to himself.

The raven-haired boy sat still and quiet, letting Will do his job without too much complaining. He did flinch a little whenever Will touched him, but other than that, he didn't do or say anything.

Will must have been paying close attention to Nico and noticed his lack of conversation. "Nico, are you sure you're okay?" Will asked him once he was done re-stitching the wounds. He was a bit surprised to find that none of the medicine was helping to heal the werewolf scratches, but when he placed his hands over them, he sung a short hymn and they started to close. He happily stitched them up once he realized they were slowly starting to heal.

Singing healing hymns drained Will quite a lot, so he only resorted to them if it was absolutely necessary.

Nico looked up at Will, glaring slightly. "I said I'm fine Will. So stop asking." And with that, Nico rolled over so his back was facing Will and pulled the covers up and over his face.

He heard Will sigh quietly and the sound of soft footsteps exit the room.

Will woke up with a start early the next morning. He wasn't quite sure what woke him up, that is, until he heard the screaming. Even though he was in the Apollo cabin, he could hear the screams coming all the way from the infirmary.

Nico.

Will rushed out of the Apollo cabin, barely remembering to throw on a shirt and shoes.

When he got to Nico's room, his heart nearly broke in half.

The smaller boy was writhing and screaming on the floor, tears pouring out of his eyes. It was just like last time, except now there were shadows practically pouring out of Nico's body.

If Will didn't do something soon, Nico would start to fade.

The son of Apollo quickly ran over to the boy who was slowly getting violent; lashing out at anything that tried to come close. Will saw a large crowd of demigods by the door, just itching to help. But Will was stubborn.

"No! I can handle this myself!" He yelled at them. The others gave each other wary glances, but respected Wills wishes and didn't try to help. They left the room, closing the door behind them.

Finally, after about half an hour, Will had his arms wrapped around Nico, pinning the smaller boys arms against his sides. Nico was struggling to free himself, but Will wouldn't let go.

"Nico! Please wake up!" Will begged, tears now starting to drip down the usually upbeat demigods' cheeks.

Nico was now screaming as loud as humanly possible, swearing in a mix of English, Italian and Greek, along with the occasional Latin.

"STOP! STOP IT PLEASE!" Nico screamed. Then, a little quieter he said, "Don't hurt Will. You can kill me instead." At this, Will froze.

Nico would rather die than have me hurt? Will thought, never expecting Nico to feel that deeply towards him.

"So, Will Solace. Are you ready to do that favour that you owe me?" Will whipped his head around, looking for the goddess of chaos.

"Where are you?!" Will asked, terrified.

"Currently, I am far away from here, but my voice is inside your head. Now, the favour?"

Will sighed sadly. "Yes, what is it you want?'

"To break Nico's already fragile heart." Will couldn't speak. His mouth had gone dry. "If you don't, I will cause Nico to go insane again. Also, you cannot tell him about me."

"How is this possibly a favour for you?" Will yelled once he regained his ability to speak.

"Broken hearts are one source of my power." She told him like it was supposed to be obvious.

"But why Nico's heart?" He asked, feeling like his own heart was shattering into pieces.

"Oh, you have no idea how strong and cold he has made his heart. Once it is completely broken, all of the stored up feelings that can cause insanity will be sent to me, and there are a lot of them in this young boy."

Will looked down at Nico and was surprised to see him sleeping peacefully. He didn't want to break his heart, but he also didn't want to see him go completely insane.

He knew what he had to do.

Will looked back up from Nico's sleeping form and replied, "Fine, I'll do it."

Well, now i bet you are all mad at me. Heh heh heh... *hides behind couch* dont hurt meeeee... 3
