Battle Wounds: Solangelo Soulmate AU

FIFTY-ONE

NICO POV:
I wake up to way too bright lights shining down in my eyes. I groan in pain and screw them shut to try and block out the light. My head feels all foggy and my ears feels clogged.

"Nico!" Wills voice breaks through the haze in my mind. "He's awake!" he calls out to who knows who.

I hadn't realised he had been holding my hand until I feel him bring my hand up to his lips to kiss it. I force my eyes open against the harsh lights so I can look at him.

"You look shitty," I comment when I see the dark bags under his eyes and disheveled hair that looks like he hasn't washed or brushed it in days.

"You should see yourself," he smiles, looking extremely relieved. "Can I kiss you?"

I nod and he leans down to kiss me. He tries to pull away but I bring my hand up to drag him back down by the collar of his shirt. I can feel him smiling against my lips.

I could have kept kissing Will forever, I feel extremely touch starved at the moment, even though I know that's silly. I'm dating Will Solace for gods sake.

I hadn't noticed them come in but suddenly there's two nurses on the other side of my bed. I hadn't even processed that I'm in a hospital until that moment.

I ignore what ever there trying to say in favour of tugging on Wills collar until he leans back down to kiss me again. He only gives me a quick peck before he's sitting back though and I pout at him. Does he not want to kiss me?

"-you feeling?" a nurse asks as she checks my vitals.

"Fuck off," I snap. She looks extremely taken back and I can't bring my self to care.

"Nico," Will scolds, squeezing my hand. "She's just trying to help."

"I don't care," I grumble. "Where am I anyways?"

"Your in the hospital love," Will says.

"Why?"

"Because of the party?" Will says, sounding and looking concerned.

"What party?" I ask.

"Do you not remember?" one of the nurses asks.

"The one we picked Hazel up from?" I ask, "I don't know it's all kinda a blur."

Wills eyes well with tears, "Is it normal for him to not remember anything?"

"Yeah that's a common side effect of ketamine, the memories might come back slowly but they also might not."

"Ketamine?" I ask, furrowing my eyebrows in confusion. "Like the drug?"

"Yeah baby," Will says, "Like the drug."

"I did ketamine? Why did you let me do ketamine?" I ask him in disbelief. Will knows my history with drugs and he let me do something as hard as ketamine? "What the fuck Will?"

"No of course not!" he says quickly.

"You were attacked Nico," the second nurse says slowly. "And drugged."

"What?" a shake my head in confusion. "I'd remember that."

"It's a side effect of the drug-"

"I've done ketamine before and I remember that just fine, what the fuck happened?" I snap. "I should remember." I feel really frantic and I'm not entirely sure why.

Will looks a bit taken aback but doesn't say anything about it.

"They gave you an extremely high dose, we're honestly surprised that it didn't kill you," a nurse says. "You were very lucky."
