Freddy & Nico
WHO: Freddy Freeman & Nico di Angelo
WHERE: Nico's bedroom
WHEN: Backdated to the banishing of the maze.
WHAT: Comfort? Assurance? Something like that. :)
STATUS: Threading
SPOILERS: Maybe for Percy Jackson's various incarnations
WARNINGS: Maybe some dark themes, such as death

Freddy felt fairly useless when it came to helping anyone in the maze. He didn't have his powers in Goodland and his cane slowed him down so it wasn't like he could go fight whatever monsters were in the maze. He still remembered facing that dementor-looking creature a few months ago; the creature not only bested him, but left Freddy with a broken cane and bloody face. Yep, he was useless alright. Still, Freddy agreed to help with "behind the scenes" stuff when several residents, including Nico, hatched a plan to banish the maze. He made sure to stay out of the way, but also ascertained who was where and was ready to alert nearby medical staff if anyone needed help. The plan, amazingly, worked, but left everyone, including Freddy, exhausted. However, Freddy was most worried about Nico, which was how he ended up napping on his friend's floor while Nico rested in his bed.

Now that he was fully awake, Freddy felt even more embarrassed about curling up on Nico's floor like some sort of pet. He grabbed his cane and hoisted himself off the cushions. "Not sure," he told Nico, glancing around for a clock. He wasn't sure where he left his phone. "I'll just put these back," he added as he grabbed a pillow from the floor. "You alright? Need, um, a drink or food or something?"

"I'm alright," Nico replied, slightly confused for a moment. Had he said something? Done something? Maybe he'd been talking in his sleep? Was that why Freddy seemed ready to leave? Or was he misunderstanding something? "You don't have to put them back right now if you don't want to," he added. "Unless you want to." A part of him supposed, if the pillows were from the couch in the living room, his roommates might wonder about them, especially if they wanted to use the couch. It wasn't a big part of him that thought about it, but it did cross his mind.

"Or you have to go? If you have to go, I understand." Especially if the other boy had been there awhile. "But if you don't, you can stay. If you want."

Did that mean Nico wanted him to stay? Or was he just being polite? Freddy thought it was the former. Or maybe he just wanted it to be the former. Either way, he shook his head. "Nah, I have nothing to do," he replied. "I mean I want to stay. Not just because I have nothing to do. I mean, this is doing something. I like doing this. Hanging out, I mean. But if you want to be alone, you can. I mean, I know that took a lot out of you. You are sure you are okay?" He dropped the cushion he was holding and crossed to Nico's bed. He plopped without asking.

Nico scooted over a little bit to give Freddy room to sit down. "I'd like it if you stayed for a little bit," he said. "And I'm okay. Just tired." How long he'd stay awake, he didn't know, but he was fine for now. Awake enough at least to hold a conversation. Or attempt to hold one. He shifted to a more comfortable sitting position, pulling his legs up and crossing them. "How are you," he asked, quickly looking Freddy over as if to make sure he wasn't hurt or anything.
