Okay! Here you guys go! I am officially writing this story, and I shall NOT give up on it! :D

Disclaimer, I (sadly) own nothing. That is Rick Riordan's job.

Please enjoy! :D


WILLS POV:

I watched the smaller boy walk towards Annabeth and Percy. I let out a breath that I didn't know I was holding in. My fists slowly unclenched. Why was it this boy that made me so nervous? Why was it that he was the one that I wanted to help the most? I sighed. No use wondering about it now, he's coming back.

I noticed Nico walkng with a slight smirk and a tinge of pink across his cheeks. My eyes widened slightly at that. I looked over towards the older two demigods. Annabeth was giggling like mad, and Percy kept asking Annabeth something. I tilted my head slightly, trying to figure out what he was saying.

Suddeny, Nico tapped my arm.

"So, when does that 'three days in the infirmary start'? Or do I not half to go?" He asked, already backing up slowly towards the Hades cabin.

"Ohhh no. Your three days start now." Then I added with a smirk, "Doctors orders!"

Nico groaned loudly, "Whyyyy?! I feel fine! And besides, I could just shadow-travel out of the infirmary at any time I want." He said, ending with a shrug.

"NO! No underworld-ly stuff until i say so!"

"But I feel FINE!" Nico argued.

My eyes narrowed and, without warning, I reached out and grabbed Nico's hand.

"W-what are you doing?!" Nico tried to pull away.

I looked up at him and saw that he was being very careful to look anywhere but where I was.

I looked back down and decided to focus more on the darkness that I could feel in him. The darkness was overwhelming, like at any second, he could turn from a solid human into a puddle of shadows.

I frowned sadly and let go of his hand.

Nico turned his head slowly, letting his hair fall into his face.

"Why did you grab my hand?" He aksed.

"So I could check on your darkness levels." I said in a mtter-of-factly tone.

Nico sighed quietly, "And, how are my 'darkness levels'?"

I shook my head, "Not good. Now, You need to come with me to the infirmary, now."

Nico shrugged and followed me.


NICO'S POV

Will's hand suddenly latched onto mine (without any warning, i might add!).

I tried to rip my hand out of hIs. "W-what are you doing?!" I felt my face heat up, so i looked away quickly. And what I saw next, didn't exactly make the blush go away.

Percy and Annabeth were looking at me, Annabeth with two thumbs-up, and Percy with his eyes wide, probably asking Annabeth as to why Will's hand was on mine.

Finally, I felt Will's hand leave mine. But it left my hand feeling cold an alone. I suddenly wished he would hold it again.

I asked, "Why did you grab my hand?"

"So I could check your darkness levels." He said it like it should have been obvious.

I sighed. He probabaly thought I was some freak now. "And how are my 'darkness levels?"

I saw him shake his head sadly. "Not good. Now, you need to come with me to the infirmary, now."

I felt the skeletal butterflies come back into my stomch. Curse those butterflies. But I decided to ignore them and shrug. I followed Will back to the infirmary, with a slight smile on my face.

So! That was the first chapter! Did you like it? Hate it? And if you want to see anything in future chapters, please tell me in a review! :D

Now, before you say anything, yeeesssss, I KNOW it was an extremely short chapter! But I wanted to get a chapter out while I had the time.

NICO: Well, you should have done a better job at getting more words in then!

WILL: Nico! Don't be mean! She is trying her best!

NICO: You're not the boss of me. *crosses arms*

WILL: Actually I sort of am- HEY! Why aren't you in the infirmary?!

NICO: Heh heh, funny story actually...

WILL: NO! NICO, GET YOUR BUTT IN THAT INFIRMARY NOW!

NICO: *blushes* Fine, fine. Sheesh, bossy.

Aaaanyways...

Peace out,
