Visible through one the windows of the Hades cabin was the single cutest thing ever seen by mankind. Nico was asleep, curled up like a small, black, and very deadly kitten. From his spot on the branch closest to the window, Will had a perfect view of the Italian. He wasn't stalking, he was observing his patient, as a doctor. He wasn't a teenager crushing really hard on a friend, and stalking them, no it was all medical reasons.

At least that's what Will convinced himself. The binoculars? Close up on the patient for any signs of illness, not so he could see the small movements of Nico's lips. All of it was medical. The Hades cabin joining the Apollo cabin for camp-activities on insist of the head-healer, who happened to be Will? To observe the patient's recovery in everyday activities. Not so he could see Nico working out.

Will shuffled closer to the window. The branch creaked under the weight of his body. Careful not to make a sound that could be heard through the window, he changed his position so, if necessary, he could jump down easily.

Nico stirred in his sleep. He thrashed and turned, sweat rolling down his face. He whimpered: "Don't! You're dead! You're not supposed to be here!" his face turned paler then it already was, an, even in his sleep, he looked afraid and on the edge of a breakdown.

Will jumped down and climbed through the window, towards the son of Hades. Slowly, no to startle the boy, he approached the bed and kneeled next to it.

"Nico wake up. You're safe. You're not in Tartarus anymore. You're here, at camp, with me." Will soothed the black haired boy. His eyelids fluttered open and for a moment, a wild gaze stared into the world. Then the gaze softened.

"What are you doing here Solace?" Nico looked at the blonde with a look of surprise and relief. "Nico, do you often have nightmares about Tartarus? If so, you should've told me."

"I...I do. But I don't know how to make it stop. Even Clovis from the Hypnos cabin couldn't do anything about it." "Would it maybe help if I stayed here?"

Nico nobbed and moved aside to let Will in. He took his jacket and binoculars off and lay down beside the small Italian. Nico rested his head against Will's chest.

"You're warm Solace. But what were..." mid-sentence Nico dozed off once more. Will followed suit.

The next morning they woke up like that. It was the cutest, fluffiest sight known to mankind.
