Rez's POV

Walking around Camp Half-Blood, I notice that I haven't seen a lot of Firewall. He usually hangs out with me.
Looking around, I feel a slight breeze, which ruffles my snow white hair. My white hoodie waves in the breeze, dark purple belts holding the sleeves to my arms.
Suddenly, Nico appears beside me, repeatedly poking my arm.
"What is it?"
Nico, standing on his tippy-toes, grabs me by the shoulders and plants his lips on mine.
Enjoying it a little bit more than I should have been, you know, since we're half-brothers, I force him off of me and punch him in the face.
"Why the hell'd you do that Neeks!?" I yell at him, barely showing any signs, apart from the blush slowly crawling up into my cheeks, that I enjoyed the kiss.
"Ow..." Getting up off of the ground, Nico glances up at me, his eyes wide, tears forming in his eyes. "It was a dare..."
My eyes go wide and my face pales as I realise what I did. What is wrong with me? "I'm sorry, Nico. I overreacted, I didn't mean to hurt you, my body moved on it's own will." I quickly grab him and hold his head to my chest. Whilst in the 'brotherly' embrace, I notice the Stolls filming all of this.
Oh shit... This was a dare... I am so dead...
As Nico pushes me away, a mountain of guilt falls on top of me. I take a glance at his face before I hang my head in guilt and shame.
A bruise is already forming... I hurt him...
A tear starts to form in my eye, as I realise I didn't just hurt him, I hurt his trust.

\----------later----------/

"-the fuck are we gunna do about Nico, huh? Rez hit him because you dared Nico to kiss him, and he hasn't come out of room after that! What do we do!?"

He hasn't come out of his room at all, huh? What an idiot I was, I should have just pushed him off of me and asked what was going on.

"Hey, what was that? I thought I heard something outside."

Damnit, I can't teleport away because that'll leave flames everywhere when I leave, so they'll know it was me, and they'll hurt me for hurting Nico. I need to run. Or hide. Damnit! What should I do!?
You deserve the pain.
I-I do... I deserve all the pain they can throw at me... I hurt my own brother for hell's sake!
Let them take you, let them burn you. Let. Them. Bury. You.
I should... I deserve this.
You do. And there is nothing that will stop them from doing it in the future, so why not let them do it now?

I walk over to the door and knock on it weakly, a barely audible tap sounding each time my knuckle connects with the door. As the door opens, I flinch as I see a fist flying at my face, only for it to stop a mere millimetre away from my face.

"Give me one good reason why I shouldn't beat you to a pulp!" My eyes search behind the fist to see Will glaring daggers  at me. I lower my head and close my eyes. Silence. Not a thought, not a word. Silence.
With a scream of frustration, Will grabs my head and forces it upward, punching me in the stomach, knocking the wind out of me. I fall to my knees and Will continues his onslaught, forcing me to the ground. Will pins me to the dusty ground by sitting on me, continuing with a flurry of punches to my face. I close my eyes, waiting for the blow that knocks me out. 1...2...3...4...5... Where is it? I haven't lost conscious(?), so what's happening? I open my eyes to see Will glaring not at me, but to another figure who appears to be holding back Will's fist.
"That's enough, Will. You've hurt him enough."
Will rips his wrist out of Percy's grip.
"DAMNIT, PERCY! HE HURT NICO!"
"AND YOU'VE HURT REZ TWENTY-FOLD! THAT'S FAR MORE THAN ENOUGH!" I'm terrified. I've never heard Percy get this mad at anyone in camp, not even Octavian over in Camp Jupiter. Will looks terrified as well, as he stands up and stares at Percy with wide eyes. Glaring at me, Will walks back in to the Poseidon cabin, muttering angrily and slamming the door behind him.
"It's because of me that Will's like this..."
"No," Percy grabs my hoodie and pulls me up, holding me steady so I don't fall. "It's my fault. I shouldn't have dared Neeks to do that."
"It was my actions that hurt him, and I never even wanted to do that."
Percy looks at me worriedly, wrapping my arm around his shoulder and gripping my forearm. "Come on, we should take you to the Apollo cabin, see what they can do.

~To be continued!~

A/N) Ahaha, it's a little later than expected, but I've been having a rough couple of months. I would explain, but I feel as though I've been a little too open about my life, seeing as the whole world can see this. I will be back to full motivation hopefully within the next month.
Until then, Hedgelings, be safe and live life with those you love.

Adios ^_^
