NICO's p.o.v

"Nico..." Leo whispered. He looked down at me and I looked up at him. "Uh...ahh!" He let go of me and fell off the bed. I crawled to the edge of the bed to see if he was alright. He already sat up and looked at me. "Sorry, Neeks. I didn't mean to uh... Violate your space bubble." He said mean while rubbing the back of his neck.

I blinked a couple times before I responded. "I-it's alright..." I then turned to the side and whispered "I-I didn't mind really"

Leo perked up and leaned closer. "Really?" I nodded still looking sideways and not directly at him." Okay. Well are you okay Neeks? You were crying yesterday." The memories from yesterday started to come back to me. Little by little did I feel myself start to cry.

"L-L-Leo...I-I-" I bursted into tears and since Leo was in front of me, I turned my head and looked at him. My eyes filled with tears. Leo looked at me with a worried face. Then spread his arms out and I just fell into them. I wrapped my arms around his neck and he wrapped his arms around my waist.

"It's alright amigo. Estoy aquí. Yo te protegeré, te lo prometo."

"I have...no...idea what your saying" I tried to say in between my sobs and laughter.

"It- it doesn't matter. But look your laughing. I think..." Leo layed me down on the floor and start tickling me.

"Leo stop! LEO YOU ASS STOP!" I yelled but laughed at the same time. I heard footsteps coming closer to my door. Bianca.

"Nico are you al-" she froze half way opening the door and stared at us. He and Leo stopped too be looked at her."Uh..." She smiled and closed the door slowly. I looked at Leo and he looked back at me. Then we bursted out laughing.

"There's the so rare di Angelo smile."Leo laughed.

"Oh shut up" I lightly punched him in the arm."So now what..."

"Well as much as I want to miss school, we have school." He said standing up and stretching."Hey, you think I can borrow any clothes? I kinda didn't know I was gonna sleep over at someone's house, you see."

"Uh... Yeah but they're a pretty small size." I say getting up to and walking to my closet.

"Your not the only short one. I'm taller but like an inch." Leo walked over to where I was and looked into my closet. "That's...a lot of black." He said nodding his head. "I'll take this and that" he grabbed in randomly and pulled it out before I could stop him.

"Leo-" but in no time he was already half naked as I turned around. I covered my innocent eyes"Gaah! My eyes! Leo put a shirt and pants on! NOW!"

"Neeks, I'm trying but how skinny are these jeans anyways? " I could hear him jump as he tried to put the skinny jeans on.

"Uh..." I blushed" I-I don't know" I say as I peek through my fingers. I see that Leo managed to put the skinny jeans on but was still shirtless. Leo turned to face me and I squealed and turned around,making my back face him. He just laughed.

"Haha. But I thought you liked seeing me shirtless!" I turned around and gave him a death glare but I was blushing like crazy."Aww little Neeks is blushing!" He laughed. He came over to me and hugged me." Don't worry. You look adorable!"

"Sh-sh-shut u-up!" I say hiding my face on his chest. We stayed like that for a moment. Me,hiding my face,and Leo,laughing and hugging me.

*TIME SKIP BROUGHT TO U BY NICO DI ANGELO's GHOST SHOP*

Leo's p.o.v
Nico's sister dropped us off at school. I say thank you and try to give her my number but Nico dragged me out of there. "Call me!" I yelled

"Thanks.Bianca!" Nico yelled and smacked me with his hand.

"Ow!" I grabbed my head. We both walk into school and began our school day. I saw some of my friends and told Nico that i would see him in home room. It looked a bit sad but nodded. I ran to Piper and Jason.

"Hi,Leo" they both said in unison.

"Hey. So did you do that homework last night?" I said looking them in the eye."hmmm?"

"Leo we didn't have homework yesterday" Piper said. I stood up straight and blinked at them

"What"

"Yeah we finished it all in class."Jason chimed in. "Did you do your homework,Leo?"

"Uh... No. But! I have a good reason!"

"Which is?" They both looked at me. I looked down.should I tell them that Nico was crying and I want to comfort him? Nah. That might embarrass him too much. He'd probably hate me. I thought.

"No reason. Never mind "Jason raised and eye brow and piper just shook her head. "Come on let's go" I say pointing at a random direction.

"Leo class is this way" Piper said as she walked the opposite way I was pointing. I ran towards them. "So Leo where's your little friend? Uh... N-"

"Nico." I finished for her. "I don't know. I left him at his locker."

"Idiot." Piper gently smacked my head." David and Jesse also like to bully the new kids. And they way Nico dresses,they might think he's emo or something" I look down at Nico's clothes.

"Oh...SHIT!" I start running towards his locker,ignoring Piper who was yelling at me. "NICO!" I yelled. I reached his locker but he wasn't there. There was a notebook in front of his locker tho. I went towards it and picked it up.

It said:
MATH

Then in different hand writing it said:

IF FOUND PLS RETURN TO NICO DI ANGELO.💜

I guess that Nico wrote math and Bianca wrote the other part. Nico didn't seem like a guy to draw Purple Hearts next to their name. Or maybe....

No. Find Nico first. I told myself. I started running again. The bell rang but I ignored it. I turned at a corner. The bathrooms where at the end of the hall. There were barely any classes over at this hall. I walked closer to the bathroom.

"Please no!" I heard someone cry out."P-please! Gaaah!" The person's voice muffled. I ran towards the door. As I got closer I could hear people laughing meanwhile the other person suffered. I could hear some kicks and punches as I got to the door.

My hand trembled as I touch the door handle. I took a breathe And opened it. "Nico?" I squeaked.

"L-Leo..." Nico was lying on the floor bleeding and beaten. David and Jesse and their gang surrounded him.

I felt anger rise in me. "Leave him alone!" I yelled as I stepped forward.

"Or what?" Jesse said as he kicked Nico again. Nico yelled in pain and curled himself in a ball again. I ran to him and kneeled next to him." Come lets just go before they start making out." I blushed a bit as they left.

"Oh,dios mio. Uh... Nico you okay?"

"I....oh I...don't...know...ow" Nico struggled to say. "Do... Do I...seem.. O-okay..." He tried to get up but fell back down."AAAHHH" he yelled. I caught him before he hit the ground face first,but it still cause him pain. Tears rolled down his face. I pulled him closer to me and then dragged him to a stall. And carefully sat him down on a toilet. "This is disgusting." He mumbled.

"Nico ..." I looked at him. His eyes found my eyes. "What happened?"

"Well...I...ow" he grabbed his side." Well I-" he clenched his teeth.

"Nico I need to take you to the nurse. Can you walk?"

"Umm... No..." He said looking down. I stood up and helped him up. I wrapped his arms around me and dragged him to the nurse.

"Hola. So my friend here is beat up and I would like to see Mrs.Nurse. Like pronto" I say to the lady.

"She's not here. You can take care of him tho. Bandages are over there" she pointed to the nurse's office.

"Thanks for you help" I mumbled "not" I add as I walk away. I laid Nico on the bed in there and started to heal him. Or try to at least.

"Ow"

"Hang in there Neeks" he had bruises and scars all over his body. "Uh... Nico... There are some..."he signed and took of his shirt. "Yeah..." I dabbed some ointment or whatever and stuck on the bandages." There Ya go. Your good as new! Ready to get all the boys"

"I'm not gay, Leo" he looked down. "Can I put on my shirt now?"

"Oh I thought we were gonna make out shirtless." I winked.

"Leo. Now isn't the time." He took his shirt and put it on." Please stop." He laid back down and closed his eyes.

I sat next to him at the edge of the bed. "Sorry Neeks. Humor is all I got..." I looked down. Then back to Nico. His eyes were open again and they were looking at me.

"It's okay. Thanks for uh... Trying to cheer me up"

So we're not gonna make out?" I looked at him with a confused face.

" IM NOT GAY FOR CRYING OUT LOUD LEO!" He covered his face with his arm.

I laughed and he smiled.

LE TIME SKIIIIIP

NICO's p.o.v

Today Leo was coming over and staying over again. But later. He said he wanted to get his clothes cause mine were too tight.

I opened the door to the car." Hello Bianca."

"Hi, Nico! How's my little ghost king doing?" She smiled as she put her seat belt on.

"I'm not little anymore. I'm almost 15 years old.And I'm fine."

"Haha okay" she laughed." But you will always be my little ghost king!" She pinched my cheeks.

"Gaah. Bianca!" I say but didn't move. She laughed again and started driving.

We got to the apartment and went inside. I checked my phone and say Leo texted me.

Leo: hey babe 😘

Nico:stop

Leo:Awe why? Your a babe aren't you?

Nico: no I'm not? Just... Just get over here already.

Leo: cause baby I need you

Nico: LEOOOOOOOO!!

Leo: yes scream my name.

Nico:....

Leo: AHHAHAHA! Okay I'll be there in a minute.

Nico: ....

~LEO COMES~

Someone knocked on the door and I went to open it. Bianca was in her room studying and my "parent" was hanging out with her friend somewhere else.

"Miss me?" Leo smiled and waved his hands.

"No not really" I lied.

"What no hug from my babe?" He teased. I hit him and walked to my room. He followed.

"It's getting pretty late. You came late." I said. I was getting pretty tried, even if I couldn't sleep. Leo laid on my bed and patted the spot next to him. "Uh..."

"Don't worry we won't have sex yet" Leo winked at me. I blushed. "Or you can sleep on the ground.

" I have a better idea" I climbed over him and onto the other side of the bed. Then I pushed him off. I got under the blankets. "Night Leo"

"HEY!"

"Turn off the lights will Ya? Please?" The lights went off and I tried to sleep. But before that I tossed Leo a blanket and pillow.

LEOS P.o.v

I was running away from someone or something. But whatever it was it scared me. It got closer and closer to me. I felt it's coldness that sent shivers down my spine. It was really close to me and started to grab out to me. I felt myself fall.

I woke up shaking and sweating. It scared me so much for some reason. I looked up to see Nico was sleeping at the edge of the bed. I was still trembling from my nightmare. I poked Nico awake.

"Huh? What do you want?" He stirred with his eyes barely half open.

"I had a nightmare." He looked at me with those half opened eyes like I was crazy. Then he just got up and kneeled besides me.

Then he hugged me. Soon enough he was still hugging me but was on top of me completely. I got up and he wrapped his legs around my waist. I laid down on the bed side ways. He got his legs off me put he was still hugging me. "It's alright baby Leo. Nico is here to protect you." He yawned. Then gave me a kiss on the cheek. His eyes were completely closed and he seemed like he was drunk. But either way I did feel better. "Good night love" he smiled and laid his face on the crook of my neck.

"Good night love" I answered back.
