Comfortably Numb by Pink floyd such a good song, and all credit to the artist. The vibe is so wonderful and I recommend so many more of his songs!

Will struggling to open up about his problems, as he disassociates. Taking care of everyone else. NIco is the only one to notice, as he takes care of him, Will thinks it's his deceased Mom, as his exhaustion catches up to him. But it's Nico, giving him the love and attention he didn't dare ask for.


"Hello? Is there anybody in there?" I hear myself asking. I haven't gotten to sleep for more than three hours since the war, was over.

"Just nod if you can hear me," I tell a camper who I'm not sure is unconscious or paralyzed, or ignoring me. Is there anyone home? I go outside when I hear more people enter the infirmary.

"Come on now" I tell the people carrying the body. I bring the person to the infirmary bed. The kid is new, they look terrified. I have to stitch them up.  It hurts to move, I haven't eaten or drinken anything today.

"I hear you're feeling down, well I can ease your pain. Get you on your feet again. Relax" I tell the boy he gives me a small smile.

"I'll need some information first. Just the basic facts. Can you show me where it hurts?" I ask the boy, who's name is apparently Devin. I'm so tired. Why does it hurt.

There is no pain I'm receding. I wasn't in battle, I wasn't wounded.  It's up to me to make sure no one here dies. I get up from my chair to make rounds and I collapse on the floor. I see a distant ship smoke on the horizon. Tiredness only coming through in waves. I'm fine, I have to keep going.

Nico Di Angelo, goes over to me, seeing me fall. He's so pretty. He asks me something. And I wanna tell him, 'your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying'. Nico sighed, and carried me.

When I was a child I had a fever, once. I was delusional I remember my Mama taking care of me.
My hands felt just like two balloons, swelled up, and numb. Now I've got that feeling once again.
I can't explain I don't even understand.

This is not how I am, I want to tell him. I have become comfortably numb. I can take it, I'm head healer I have to be here. 

"Nico I'm fine. I have become comfortably numb Okay " I tell the italian but he rolls his eyes.

"Don't be a hypocrite William, I can see your exhausted, dehydrated, and starving" he says. I just stay silent.

"The procedure of giving young Demigods shots is saying: Just a little pinprick
There'll be no more, but you may feel a little sick later? See I'm fine I can remember I just fell!" I say arguing.

"Can you stand up?" He asks looking down at me. It's then I realize how freaking hot Nico Di Angelo is. I can feel his muscles pressing on me. His piercing eyes, I once thought were black are brown with little gold flakes. His porcelain skin. I do believe it's working, good, his body that is.

"I just need more coffee, that'll keep me going through the show" I say. Nico rolls his eyes and gives me some water, and leads me the pavillion and sits me down. He gives me a plate of chicken and greens, I try to raise my hand to grab the fork, but my hand is shaking. Nico sighs and pushes it down. He grabs my fork, and stabs some food. He moves me to the side so I'm facing him, and feeds me. 

I would be so embarrassed but I'm to tired to care. Then I see my mom she's feeding me. She is so close to me and after I finish eating she wraps me in her arms. She smells like vanilla and pomegranates.

"Come on it's time to go, your in pain" she says, grabbing my arm and leading to the Apollo cabin. She's as gorgeous as I remember.

" I see a distant ship, smoke on the horizon, it reminds me of Argo ||" I start to say. I look back at my mom, but it's not her anymore it's Nico.

My mother died a while ago, I can only see her in my hallucinations now. Maybe that's why I do this to myself, because I'm alone and she was the last person to love me unconditionally. 

Nico is talking to me but I only here every other word. You are only coming through in waves Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying. I want him to stay with me, I don't wanna be so alone anymore.

When I was a child, I caught a fleeting glimpse. Out of the corner of my eye, I turned to look but it was gone. I cannot put my finger on it now, it's been to long. I used to be free, but the child is grown. The dream is gone...

I have become comfortably numb...


I think as I close my eyes, but as I dream I feel someone move my hair around, and draw circles in my hand. It's Nico, he stayed. I find myself smiling before I fully go into Hypnos' realm.
