Nico POV

I wake up screaming into my pillow with tears running down my face. The nightmares just keep getting worse. This time it was Bianca. She was fighting giant, and loosing. I trying to help but she kept screaming at me something that sounded like "No Nico! Leave, please," and she shoved me aside and I watch as he overpowered her.

Suddenly the door creaked open and a beam of light shone into the dark room. "Nico?" I hear Leo's sleepy voice.

"I'm fine," I mutter into my pillow tears streaming down my face from the memory of the dream. "Go back to bed."

He walks over to my mattress and sits next to me. "What was it? Those dreams again?"

"I'm fine," I repeat. "It was only a dream."

"Hay," he says gently. "Look at me."

I roll over, tears still uncontrollably running down my face. "What?" I say trying to sound annoyed.

"What did you dream?" he asks more seriously than I have I ever heard him before.

"Just about my sister, Bianca. She was fighting and," I hear my voice cracking as I fight to keep control, "and loosing. She wouldn't let me help her."

"Don't cry. It was just a dream," Leo says, with a hint of his playful, joking tone back that I love.

I sit up and take a deep shuddering breath. "I'm fine. Go back to bed."

Then he leans over and kisses me. His kiss is electric sending a shock threw my entire body. He pulls me close to his chest in a wonderful, warm hug. "I love you," he whispers.

"I love you," I say and I mean it. I mean it more than anything I had ever said before to anyone. I burry my face into his shoulder and manage to stop crying.

His strong, firm hands move to my waist and he kisses the top of my head. "You going to be okay?" he asks and I notice how tired he sounds and, despite the fact that it's selfish, worry that he might go back to bed and leave me here alone with my nightmares.

"Yeah, I'll be okay," I say into his shoulder. "But please Leo," I beg, "please don't leave."

"I'm not going anywhere if you don't want me to." He lies down and I lay too. I position myself so that my ear is positioned on his chest so that I can hear his heart.

In the morning…

Leo POV

"LEO!" I hear a panicked call. The door bursts open and Piper is standing in the doorway. "Leo! Thank the gods I found you! Something is wrong with an engine and I couldn't find you in your room," she stops suddenly realizing what she's seeing.

I gently pry Nico's head off of me and jump out of bed feeling a bit flustered. "I'm coming," I say and race out the door leaving an embraced Piper with a disoriented Nico.

I jog threw the halls of the ship that I know I bit better than the back of my hand, still in my P.J.'s, until I get to the engine room and I have to stare a minute before stepping inside. The entire room is filled with white smoke and it almost looks like a cloud had landed right there while I was sleeping. The cover up my mouth with my sleeve knowing that the sooner I get in there and done fixing the main engine the sooner I can get out and see Nico. Because the only thing better than fixing engines and cracking jokes is Nico di Angelo.

I really enjoyed righting this and I hope that you liked reading it! I can't promise a certain time or date I will defiantly continue this story. I'm sorry that I don't write well from Nico or Leo's point of view.
