N-Nightmares

Will's P.O.V.

I heard a scream. I sat up at Nico's bed, panicking. I turned to my side, throwing the blankets off me.
    My boyfriend, my beautiful boyfriend, was yelling and shouting in agony.
    "HELP!!! Will, Will, Will, please help. Help," Nico sobbed. Tears stung my eyes. I felt helpless.
    "Will?" Nico whimpered.
    "Nico, Nico wake up!" I cried. I shook him lightly.
    "The monsters, Will. They're coming," he whispered, turning in his sleep. "I love you. So much. I'm not going to make it."
    "Nico!" I yelled, shaking him harder.
    "I love you. Before I die, will you marry me?" In real life, Nico and I both sobbed.
    "NICO!!" I screamed. "Wake up!"
    Nico's eyes shot open, and he started crying. He clawed at the air, barely missing my eyes and cheeks.
    "Will!" Nico yelled.
    "Shhhh," I soothed. "Shh shh shh."
    The son of Hades collapsed in my arms, shrieking. I felt so weak. I could do nothing for my lovely boyfriend.
    The nightmares plagued Nico. And I couldn't help him.
