Nico begging and pleading and sobbing to Jason’s ghost telling him to let himself be brought back.
And Jason keeps telling him he can’t. Not that he doesn’t want to. That he can’t.
Nico keeps begging and Will is trying to pull him away and Jason sees he has tears slipping down his cheeks.
Eventually the son of Jupiter snaps. He tells him he planned on dying. He was going to anyway.
“No you could’ve avoided it! You could’ve ran away from it!”
“You can’t cheat fate, you know that!”
“Fate could’ve waited for another war!”
Nico’s breathing hard and the underworld goes incredibly still as the argue.
“Nico-“
“No! It didn’t have to be this way! Let me fix it!”
“I wanted it to be this way! I didn’t want to be alive!”
Wills eyes are filled with fear and he’s not looking at Jason as person, he really sees him as a ghost. The air goes cold and Nicos eyes dart across Jason for a long minute.
“I was alone. Again. I had nowhere to go. I don’t fit in the mortal world, I was failing school and I—I’ve lost everyone Nico.”
“You had me! You still have me!”
“Nico.” Jason’s voice is rough. “You have a boyfriend—a great person. You have people. A family.”
Nicos chest sinks. He’s always felt for Jason when it came to family.
“But Thalia—she was devastated…”
“She’ll get over it, not much to get over anyway.” There’s a bitter tone in his voice now.
“She has a better relationship with Percy and Annabeth and you.”
“I miss you.”
“I miss you too.”
There’s a brief moment where the two share a moment of silence. Jason smiles, just barely but Nico can’t with his lip wobbling so urgently.
“I can’t be the burden that drags down you’re happiness, all because I don’t fit in.”
“You do fit in.”
“Nico. I was abandoned for my whole life, just because I turned 16 doesn’t mean it changed. I’ve always been attached to fate.”
“We’re demigods, we all are.”
“It’s not the same. Nico I wasn’t happy all the time. I was happy with you because you were my only friend. That doesn’t mean I was the only reason you were happy.”
Nico let’s out a sob and the force of his feelings shake the ground and there’s the smoke of ghosts passing.
“I miss you. I want you back.”
“No you don’t. I wasn’t a person Nico. I was just a head full of thoughts and ideas for temples shoved into a body. I wasn’t me. I never have been.”
“Then come back and find you.”
“I don’t think there will be anything good to find.”
Nico let’s out a guttural scream that shakes the underworld’s walls to the point they crumble.
