Valentine’s Day Part Four

Part Three

Nico could safely say that Valentine’s day was going horribly and it was probably almost entirely his fault. How he’d ever thought hiring Connor and the rest of the Hermes lot to help him would be a good idea he didn’t know, but now he was facing disaster. Will, who had been so understanding for so long, was mad, Kayla upset, and Cecil looked like he was ready to stab the next person who came up to him and then Nico and then himself in that order.

At least Connor was happy enough. His chores were covered for a month and he got to reign mischief. It was probably his perfect Valentine’s.

Nico should probably have realised Connor would be a little too good at his job. He wasn’t sure how Connor had gotten Lou Ellen involved, but the cookie monster was a unique distraction technique.

Will stood by his side, arms tightly folded and his expression scarily blank. He’d been really understanding all day, but when Nico had inadvertently made Kayla cry, Will had apparently blamed him. That had apparently been his limit and now he was so closed off he was like a different person. Nico hated seeing the stony expression on his face, the rigidness of his posture. He felt close to tears himself.

It had all been going so well too. After Nico’s slight meltdown in his cabin, Will seemed to take proving to the rest of the camp that Nico was a good boyfriend thank you very much as a personal challenge. Nico had felt a little better at Will’s sheer indignation that anyone would think Nico was anything less than perfect. So he’d gone to lunch feeling a little bit better, like he might actually be able to pull this Valentine’s day off and find Will the perfect present that would make everyone at camp realise he wasn’t a failure and he did belong with Will.

Feeling more positive was his fatal mistake.

Actually, his fatal mistake may have been not calling Connor off while he still had the chance.  

He was just all round a walking disaster.

You Are Watching: GHOST KING (pt. 27)

“Hey Angel…” Will muttered softly as he reached Nico’s room. Said boy was just sitting on his bed and staring off in a daze. But apparently not too much of a daze since he blinked slowly before looking at Will and giving him a small smile.

“Hey.” Was his weak reply. This was a new side of Nico that Will was seeing and if he was being honest, he would have to admit he hated it. Mainly because he knew Nico was hating himself for acting this way. For acting distant and unaware of himself and his surroundings. It was as though he was empty, empty because he didn’t want to feel or perhaps empty because he felt too much. Will couldn’t say for sure which one it was, too be fair though, it looked as though Nico wasn’t entirely sure which one it was either.

“Let’s lay down.” Will whispered as he toed off his shoes and gently coaxed Nico into laying down. Nico complied without a complaint. As he helped Nico get situated, Will would give the smaller male a heads-up anytime he was going to touch him just in case Nico wouldn’t be caught off guard by the touches. He also did it so the boy before him could tell him no if he didn’t want to be touched. So far the blond hadn’t been met with refusal but even as he laid beside his boyfriend he refrained from touching him even though all he wanted to do was hug him. He just looked so frail.

“Did you take your medicine?” A nod as a response.

“Do you need anything?” A shake of a head making the already unruly hair more so.

“Okay. Just let me know if you do.”

“M-Mmkay.” Was the small shaky answer as Nico slowly made his way closer to Will. He continued until his face was practically buried in the blond’s chest. There he released a shaky breath. “Hold me?” Nico whispered. Will could tell that that request had taken a lot of courage to ask. Nico was letting down his walls and this was Will’s test so to speak.

“Of course.” Will whispered back with sincerity as he steadily wrapped his arms around the smaller boy’s frame. “Can I rub your back?”

A shake of a head again and a small, “sorry.”

“Don’t apologize, Nico. It’s okay. Can I run my fingers through your hair?”

“T-That’s okay…” Nico mumbled into his chest as his arms tightened around Will just a tad. Will smiled to himself briefly before he began to card one of his hands through Nico’s thick locks, careful to avoid knots. He still had one arm wrapped around Nico and it would be so easy to pull Nico even closer to himself but he didn’t. Nico would tell him if he wanted him closer, though they were pretty close already. All he could do was wait for Nico and he would gladly do so if it made Nico feel more secure with his surroundings and himself.

He didn’t know how much time had passed, nor did he care. All he cared about was Nico and how he was finally sleeping peacefully. When he had first dozed off, it was a fitful sleep. The smaller boy would groan and whimper and mutter to himself. He would occasionally jolt and move away from Will. The blond learned that when Nico was doing that, that it was best to either not touch him or hold him lightly so he didn’t feel restrained. So far Will was more willing to just not touch Nico and watch over him. Hades and Bianca had come in a couple times to see how Nico was doing. Persephone had come in to do the same as well as tell him that he was more than welcome to spend the night and that if he did decide to, that they would phone home for him. He immediately accepted the offer.

After the fitful sleep came the calm deep sleep, the one that had Nico entangling their legs together and resting his head on Will’s chest. Will held Nico gently to him as he began to fall asleep as well. Before he fell asleep he couldn’t help but press a gentle kiss to the top of Nico’s head.

“Things will be okay, Angel. I promise. I’ll make sure if it.” He whispered before succumbing to sleep.

___________________

Morning came and went with Will waking up and having breakfast with Nico’s family as Nico continued to sleep and sleep. He needed it after all.

“When he wakes up we need to ask him more about the…the demon.” Hazel had reasoned to her father, her golden eyes steeled when she made eye contact with the man.

Hades gave his daughter a sharp nod, “I know. Hopefully he’ll be up to talking today. If not then I don’t want you girls pressuring him. We’ll leave him be if that’s the case.”

“Does that happen often?” Will questioned as he helped Persephone do the dishes even though she told him not to. He insisted.

“Not very often but it does happen once in a good while after he has one of those…I wouldn’t call them attacks since we know what one of those look like….one of those happenings. He tends to become a bit unresponsive even after they have occurred.” Hades explained with a sigh as he placed his head into his hands. Will had never seen him this stressed not did he really want to. It was worrying for Hades to look as such.

As they were discussing what to do for the day they heard Nico walk into the kitchen. They carried on with their conversations but in softer voices. They didn’t want Nico to feel awkward so they didn’t stop talking in favor of looking at him. Will gave him a small smile, one the boy returned as he approached his boyfriend and rested his head on his shoulder.

“How are you feeling?”

_________________

When Nico woke up his mind felt groggy, more so than normal when he woke up any other given day. He got up slowly and just sat there staring at nothing in particular. He tried to focus on something, anything but it proved to be difficult. He kept doing this until he could feel his mind clearing up. Just to be sure he made himself read one of the posters that hung in his room. He occasionally had to reread something but overall it was a victory to him, so he decided to head downstairs where he could hear his family chatting away. As he got up he noticed a pair of worn out yellow converse, Will’s shoes.

Did he spend the night?

Once he got downstairs the voices were a bit muffled but Nico could make out Will’s soft voice. He couldn’t help but smile at it. His body still felt drained of energy and he was moving more slowly than he had wanted but hearing his boyfriend’s voice have him a little boost.

Entering the kitchen, Nico was glad that everyone didn’t stop talking when he arrived. They all gave him either smiles or nods and he was happy to send them back, especially to Will, who still seemed to be worried.

“Morning.”

“Afternoon is more like it, Sunshine,” Will teased.

“Really? Oh wow. I didn’t mean to sleep so much.”

Hades chuckled while raising an eyebrow in amusement, “Son, you almost always sleep till noon when you don’t have school.”

“Fair point.” Nico grumbled as he sat at the table beside Will and Bianca.

Bianca pushed over a plate of toast and scrambled eggs over to him and gave him a pointed look. Without saying anything, though he did pout, Nico began to eat his breakfast. He didn’t realize how hungry he was until he actually started eating and then it dawned on him, he was starving! After he finished off the food he searched for anything else he could get his hands on.

Without thinking about it, Will tossed him an apple. He didn’t have to toss it, seeing as they were sitting right next to each other, but he did. Hades narrowed his eyes at Will, “It’s a bit early to be thinking about that isn’t it, boy?”

At first, Will was confused. He looked at Hades then to Nico several times before he then glanced at the apple, and back at Hades. His face turned a bright shade of red as he stuttered around an excuse.

Before He could give one though Hades laughed and so did everyone else, well not Nico who was busy devouring the apple. “I’m joking with you, Will.”

The boy seemed to relax and offered up a relieved smile as he rubbed the back of his neck.

After Nico felt full he looked at his family and Will and sighed. “So, about the demon.”

Bianca was the first to react and placed a hand on her baby brother’s hand and gave it a soft squeeze, “ Only if you’re up to it. We don’t want you to be overwhelmed.”

“I’ll be okay. So…I know I said I thought it was a poltergeist,” Nico started as Will grabbed his hand and held it. “But…well…here’s the thing, poltergeist and demons are very similar when it comes to activity. So often enough, they are mistaken for one another, which is really dangerous. Anyways. I got to thinking about everything and then it clicked. It has to be a demon.”

“What do you mean it has to be, Nico?” Hades asked while Persephone nodded signaling that she was confused as well.

“Remember how I said that it’s rare, but poltergeists can attach themselves to someone?” Everyone nodded, “But it’s quite common for a demon to become attached to someone. Like…really common.”

“Okay…do you know who the demon is attached to?” Hazel asked as she frowned into her lap.

“No. Not yet. I need to do some research. School is a great place to start. If a demon really is attached to someone there, I’ll be able to sense it….They have a really strong presence.”

“Then all we can do is wait.” Will stated matter-of-factly.

Hi, thank you so much!!! To learn how to draw hand flapping, I recommend studying animation smears.

Rise uses this technique a lot, pause just about any fast-paced sequence and you’re sure to find smear references!

That being said, I drew this little tutorial up real quick to show how I do it:
