Chapter 8 Worry Pt. 5

                                    

                                          

A/N: I'm gonna be completely honest when I say that I forgot about this chapter.
HEAR ME OUT
I had this chapter stored in my docs, but it was labeled chapter seven, and the prev chapter was labeled chapter eight.
Don't worry these that I post are in the right chronological times. It was just an oopsie.
But because of this I had this accidentally prepared an extra chapter so it should be coming soon along with another new fic of mine which will be about Hazbin Hotel. (No Leo tho. Only sir pentious angst)
This song for today is Liar by the Arcadian Wild, whose song I do not own. Not do I own Rick's stuff.
TW for mentions of suicide
So stay tuned for that. Anyways, ON WITH THE SHOW!

(Nico)
Nico was worried. He'd been for a while. Nico wasn't...the healthiest when dealing with problems. When Bianca died and he ran away having nothing, he started to feel an aura around himself. He wasnt sure what it was, but when Nico was contemplating suicide, it was the strongest. Then Minos came along and yadda yadda. It wasn't the sense of death, he was familiar with that. It was a slightly different feeling. Like a foreboding death, or what Rachel might feel of the future, but death-y.
When he was older he still wasnt sure what that feeling was, but felt it a lot during and immediately after the Titan war. He had a few guesses on what it was, but his fears were confirmed when one of the demigods who survived that had a very strong aura was found hanging from a rope on Thalia's pine. That confirmed that the feeling was the feeling of someone being suicidal. 
He was sure either Hazel couldn't feel it or didn't know what that feeling meant and ignored it. She never asked Nico about it or seemed like she noticed that feeling. Maybe when someone was dying from suicide in the moment, but not the sense of suicidal thoughts and stuff leading up to it.
But that feeling was all over Leo. Had been ever since Nico met the guy. Nico actually talked to Leo about it, and saved him once. Despite popular belief, they had talked and grown close in those dark alone nights on the Argo II. They had a lot in common and Nico enjoyed Leo's company and jokes, even if they weren't funny and were just a mask. And he could sense it going away the more time they spent together. 
But now? 
It was stronger than ever. Leo had definitely gone through stuff when he was presumed dead, and gotten more suicidal. Maybe death has tempted him? Thanatos could really be persuasive and seductive (NOT LIKE THAT YA WEIRDOS). Whatever the case the aura was strong over Leo, more so than Nico ever was. And Nico never really got to talk to Leo about it, who would deflect, find an excuse, or flat up refuse to. WHen he saved Leo, he just told him that now was not the time. But this buildup of suicidal aura was gonna blow soon. He needed to tell someone
(Rachel)
Rachel was worried. She may not have talked to Leo much, looking for Percy and all that, as well as having a mortal life to get to, but she enjoyed his company. He was one of the only people who she could talk to without them being weirded out by her oracle-status. It was kind of a shame really how little people really trusted her. She was just another girl at the end of the day. It wasn't her fault that the Spirit of Delphi mugged her in the girls bathroom... (That was a VERY awkward experience for all girls who were in there.) just like how demigods couldnt help that they were demigods, but she was still seen as "weird". Mainly because out of fear of being sent on another quest
