Nico Di Angelo ~ Stars

The son of Hades had always been struggling with his emotions. It wasn't particularly one feeling, he just wasn't used to express them. He usually walked around camp like he didn't care about anything. The same, stone cold expression was always on his face. The only time he seemed to show any emotions was when he got hurt and the only thing he showed was pain. Pain and anger. It did put some concern into the Y/G/P girl. She was good at reading people but Nico was always something she had struggled with. He never let someone in or let himself come close to anyone. One day she decided to talk to him. She usually wasn't the one to talk to people she didn't know very well but Nico got to be an exception. He had hid in the Hades cabin all day, skipped every meal, nothing but silence came form cabin 13.

Y/N was good friends with Will Solace and used to help him out in the infirmary when she got time. She had just left to get some food for Will and herself when she saw the dark door swing up and the dark haired boy walked out. He was wearing his usual black jeans, a black t-shirt and since it was summer, a black and white flanell covered his shoulders and arms. She smiled a gentle smile when he met her gaze. Y/N started walking towards the pavilion and Nico turned around to walk away. His destination seemed to be the deep forest. She just shrugged it off and got herself some food. She placed a salad on the plate for Will and headed back to the infirmary where Will was waiting.

"Thank you, N/N, a salad was really what I needed right now," he smiled and placed a tomato in his mouth. You nodded and smiled but didn't say anything more. When Will had finished his food he got up and placed the plate away before going back to work. She sat on one of the beds, not doing much.

"Hey, Y/N, what's up with you today? I something wrong? You're awfully quiet," Will looked up from his work, the golden locks fell into his eyes but he didn't seem to care. She shrugged her shoulders before answering.

"I guess I just have a lot on my mind today, I'm worried about Nico," she said, careful with her words.

"What about Nico? Is he sick again?" Will asked worried. Will and Nico were close friends and he too cared for the quiet boy.

"I don't know really, he's been hiding away a lot recently and he've skipped a few meals. I've placed a few plates outside his door the other days and they're always gone when I walk past the next time. I don't know if he actually eats them though," Y/N answered truthfully and pulled a few strands of hair behind her ear. Will nodded and gave a cup of nectar to the patient he was taking care of at the moment. A Demeter kid who had ended up tangling herself in her own palts and passed out from the lack of oxygen. She had hit her head pretty bad but Will said she would be fine.

"Have you talked to him?" Will wondered, and the girl looked up in surprise. Will knew she didn't like talking to people she barley knew, but he had also told her that she'll have to. Or else she'll never get to know someone new. She also knew that he was very well right. She sighed and shook her head at his question. "Maybe you should," he said and placed away a can of green pills.

"Maybe... But I don't even know the guy! Isn't it better if you do it?" She told him and he stopped in his actions to look at her.

"You know what I've said. Come on, go talk to him. I'm soon done here anyways so I'll make it on my own. It'll be good for you," he told her with a comforting smile. She let out a sight, why couldn't she tell him no. She was to kind for her own good, too easily persuaded. Will waved her away and she shook her head at her friend but walked out in the sunshine.

NICO'S POV

I swear, this shit is going to be my end. No I'm not talking about Percy or Jason, not even mosters. These stupid shit called feelings are destroying me. I have bottled it all up and now I don't even know what I'm doing anymore. I mean, I guess I could talk to Will about it but he's busy in the infirmary. Annabeth would probably also work but she have a lot to do around camp so I don't want to disturb her. Hazel had gone back to Camp Jupiter a few days ago and that made this even worse. She had a clue of what was going on inse my head but now she's on the other side of the country.

The trees compact air and many noises from animals and other creatures eventually became too much and I headed back inside the comfort of my own cabin. The bed being the only useful thing in the whole room I laid down there, staring up at the ceiling. It was enchanted by a daughter of Hecate during the building of this damn cabin and now the cosmos was playing in the flat roof. It was kind of relaxing though, it was nice too look at the stars and planets that were shattered all over the galaxy. It got my mind of things and it was definitely useful when my brain decided to pull and all nighter; which happened quite usually. Too often for my liking but people complained either way, didn't they. If I didn't sleep much I'm unhealthy and lazy because I'm not in the mood to do something. When it actually happened that I slept for longer than 8 hours I'm still lazy because I'm sleeping. So Thalia can sleep for 6 years and nobody bats an eye but I sleep for 16 hours and suddenly I'm depressed. Well I can't say I'm not depressed but it's definitely not because I sleep.

A knock on the door broke through the silence and made me turn towards it. I mumbled a come in, expecting it to be Percy or Will. The door swung open without a sound and I threw a glance at it when it hit me that it was neither Percy or Will standing out there. It was a girl with H/L H/C hair put up in a messy braid that hung over her shoulder. A pair of gentle, E/C eyes met mine and a sweet smile was resting comfortably on her pink lips. A few freckles was put over her nose and cheeks and in her hand she was holding a plate of cut up fruit and a glass of bubble water. I sat up and looked at her, maybe she was that friend that Will usually talked about. The one helping him out in the infirmary.

"Can I come in?" she asked and looked at me. I nodded and she shut the door with her foot and walked in. The plate with fruit she put on the table along with the glass of water. I could sense the smell of pomegranate and I smiled a little. At least she knew what I liked.

"I... I don't really know how to do this, I usually don't talk with people that I don't know very well. But my name's Y/N, i'm a daughter of Y/G/P. Will said you maybe knew about me," she stated and looked at me. She wasn't afraid or shy, just a bit uncomfortable with the fact that she was talking to an almost complete stranger. I nodded at her and replied.

"Yeah, Will have talked about you. He seem to appreciate you a lot," I smiled thinking of all the times he'd come to talk being exhausted after a day in the infirmary and every time he'd told me that 'he'd probably hadn't made it to the end of the day without her help'. "I'm Nico, but I guess that you already know that."

"Yeah, I know that. Will have told me a bit about you. He's the reason I'm here. I'm way too easily persuaded and I think Will have taken  advantaged of that," she answered. "I'm not the one to talk to random people, no offence, but I don't really know you. I brought you a plate fruit, I've noticed you've skipped a few meals. I've left some food on your doorstep but I haven't figured out if you've actually eaten it or not," she laughed and brushed a few loose strands of hair from her face.

"That was you?" I asked surprised. She nodded. "Yeah, it was." I smiled at her sweet gesture and gestured for her to sit down on the bed beside me. Carefully as if she was afraid she'd break something she sat down and placed her head on my shoulder. The simple gesture shocked me but I carefully placed my head on hers. She took my hand in hers and played with it in her lap.

"I want to trust you, and I want you to trust me too. It'll be hard, at least in the beginning. But I think we'll make it work, don't you think so?" she looked up at me and I nodded smiling.

"I hope so, at least I'm willing to try and I'll make sure to do the best of it," I told her and she smiled. Then her eyes went big when she saw the ceiling. The stars reflected in her eyes and I smiled at the sight. She was beautiful, there was no denying it. I pulled her up on the bed beside me and we layed down facing the stars. Her hand was still holding mine but I don't think she realized it. She was busy taking in every little star, every little moon and planet in the magical cosmos that were put above us. I never realized how beautiful it actually was until I saw her appreciate it this much. Just then I felt something I hadn't felt for long. It was a pity Hazel wasn't here, I needed to talk to her. But maybe, in a while after we've goten to know each other and gained trust I can talk to her about it. Because it's not very nice to talk about other people behind their backs. Even if we're talking about love. But for now I gotta stay satisfied with what I have. And right now that's a new found friend and the stars. But that's more than enough for me. 

Long time no see! I should probably try to start update more often but I got a lot with school and other stuff. I know this is a long one but I hoped you enjoyed it. See you next time!
