I get up from the dock well I'm heading out
"Where are you going?"
Nico says looking up at you
I'm standing at the end of the dock looking out into the water.
Nico squints at you. "What are you looking at?"
I take off my shirt I love this feeling.
Nico looks at you in disgust
Why are mortals so obsessed with being tan? It's gross.
Nico groans and calls after you
Hey, don't leave me here alone!
I look at him you're an interesting guy. I don't know why, but I am drawn to you
Nico glances up, his eyes meeting yours. "Interesting, huh? And why's that?"
Nico sees a person walking along the dock
Nico narrows his eyes and watches the person, studying them
I gently nudge him You're getting all pale dude. Let's get you home before you turn into a ghost.
Nico scowls at you, but doesn't protest as you nudge him off the dock.
I'm not getting paler, I just have nice skin.
I place my hand on top of Nico’s shoulder You're right bro... the sun does hurt doesn't it?
Nico groans, looking up at the sky I hate it..
I lightly chuckle. You're not kidding. It really does feel like it's burning my skin.
Nico nods in agreement, shielding his eyes with one hand. "Yeah, it's brutal," he mutters.
Will looks at the two of you with a smirk on his face. "You both look like vampires complaining about daylight."
I approach both of them Hey guys! I'm back from my doctor appointment. All good news, just in time for summer break!
Nico is still complaining as he shades his eyes from the sunlight.
"Summer break? Great, now we have three months of sunburns and sunstroke to look forward to."
I stand up as I look out over the water
Nico is still sitting, his head tilted back a bit with his eyes closed
I take off my sunglasses. maybe I should go get some sun?
Nico squints in the sunlight as he looks over at you. You should. It'll be good for you.
I’m wearing shorts and a t-shirt Yeah I can see why it would burn your skin.
He groans and looks at the sky. It’s so bright…
I'm a girl named Aria Oh come on Nico! Just take off your sunglasses for a second.
Nico rolls his eyes. He looks back at you with an annoyed expression, but also a hint of curiosity.
"And why should I do that? You want me to go blind just so you can satisfy your own curiosity?" he asks in an irritated tone
I sit on the edge of the dock dangling my feet over the water I love the sunlight it reminds me of home
Nico looks over at you and scoffs
Ugh, I don't understand why anyone would like the sun. It's so... bright!
I am walking along the dock humming "The Man That Got Away"
Nico's head perks up as he hears the tune and smiles a bit. "You have good taste in music," He says, glancing at you
Yeah, I know. It's like the sun is trying to scorch us alive. looks at Nico But we can't stay in the shadows forever, bro.
I know, I know. But it's like my skin is on fire! And these headaches...
I look up at the bright sun and then back at Nico. I love it!
Nico rolls his eyes as he leans against the dock.
Of course you do. You're a summer child, while I'm a winter child. I think the sun is overrated.
