"That's always been my favourite part."

Nico doesn't turn around but he smiles. It's his favourite as well. Of course, it's an amazing view, the stars falling one by one, balls of fire tumbling to earth in perfect silence. It's beautiful. And it's the time when he finally joins him.

Will drops his bow and the empty quiver unceremoniously and starts rolling his shoulders, stretching his gangly limbs. Nico can't help it, he has to turn and stare. His face still has that greenish tint, but he doesn't look sick anymore. Instead, he's standing tall and his blonde curls form a crown that glistens in the light of the fires around them. And he smiles.

It would make Nico's heart skip a beat, but he's beyond that now, isn't he?

Instead, he smiles back.

Will positively beams and lets himself sink into the burned grass next to Nico, way closer than strictly necessary.

"Well, that was fun."

Not exactly the word Nico would have chosen, but… close enough.

The world is burning, stars are falling, somewhere in the distance, there are screams and Nico shuffles a bit closer up to Will.

"I miss the horses, though," he says and wraps an arm around Nico. "Sure, the motorbikes are cooler but the horses had… flair."

Nico giggles. "Yeah, you on that white stallion, quite a sight to behold. Could've been the cover of a Romance Novel."

Will shoves him, good-naturedly. "I like to think of it as more of an Old Spice Commercial."

"You are ridiculous."

"Ridiculously in love with you, you mean." Will is actually cooing and making kissy faces. Ridiculous. And adorable.

Sometimes, Nico thinks that the horsemen are not supposed to be adorable. But Annabeth has always been endearingly focussed, the tip of her tongue sticking out just a bit when she concentrates on balancing her scale or directing the demise of empires. And Clarisse actually wears eye black when storming into battle as if she is the high school quarterback and not War herself. So, okay, that's it, the world is coming to an end and Pestilence is a gangly dork and Death a reformed emo kid with floppy hair. It could be worse.

Nico chuckles quietly and Will raises an eyebrow. "Are you doubting my sincerity? I would lie the world to your feet!"

"I think you already did."

Will tilts his head, and let his gaze wander over the flames and the chaos spreading out around them. "I guess I did. Pretty cool, hu? Although... I had help."

"Yeah. And it's not the first time. The novelity sort of wears off after the first few hundred apocalypses..."

Will presses a quick kiss to his cheek. "I'll think of something new, one of these days. Promise."

"You are ridiculous."

"But you love me!" There's the cooing again. But he's not wrong. Not that Nico would actually admit that, ever. Instead, he links his fingers with Will's and returns to watching the stars. The sky is almost completely black by now.

This is Nico's favourite part not only because of the beauty or because of Will. It's his personal quiet before the storm. It's sort of the nature of his job that he does never get to rest, but these hours are the closest to it he ever gets because - just once - a few more minutes and a few more restless souls don't matter.

It's over way to quickly, every time.

"I have to go," he says finally into the comfortable silence.

"Already?" Will pouts but he jumps up and offers Nico a hand, nevertheless. It has to be done.

Nico lets himself be pulled to his feet and into a warm embrace. "I love you, you know?"

"I love you, too. See you next time." He kisses him and Nico feels as if he's melting into him. On second thought, this is his favourite part of the end of the world.

Oh Gott, wer hätte gedacht, dass Weltuntergangsszenarien so romantisch sein können? Oo

(Und die Motorräder! Wobei, ich mag ja Pferde...aber Motorräder!)

Ich bin immer mehr interessiert an diesem Fandom, aber so cool, wie du es schreibst, ist es ja vieleicht gar nicht? XD
