But I have a cold. . .

Nico stared at the wall. His had was hurting too much to notice the sound of the Hades cabin doors opening, so he was startled when a cold hand touched his burning forehead.

"Hey, it's just me," said Will Solace when Nico jumped slightly. Nico then relaxed at his touch hearing Will say this. "How are you feeling?" Will then asked, concerned.

"My head and throat hurt, and I feel like I've fallen and I can't get up," Nico replied dryly.

Will chuckled. "Is your life alert not working again? Sounds like you have a bad cold. It's probably from too much shadowtravelling,," Will teased him gently.

Nico protested weakly. "I haven't used ady of my powers since you made me stay in the infirmary for three days, then three weeks, then three months with you."

"Oh you so liked it because I was there," Will snarked cheekily.

Nico scoffed. "Totally."

"You so love me," Will said climbing into the bed with Nico. "By the way, I like the redecorations."

"Yeah, the vampire theme was getting old."

Nico had replaced the coffin beds with regular queen sized ones. He had repainted the walls black with purple trim which matched the bedspreads and carpet. The outside walls of the cabin were made with blocks of obsidian. The wooden door was framed on both sides by two torches, each burning with green greek fire. The Hecate cabin had charmed them to never blow anything up or go out.

All in all, his renovations looked a lot better than what Cabin 13 had previously looked like for sure. The walls had been painted all black with what looked like blood (but was likely red paint) dripping down the sides. It wasn't a pretty sight. Will hoped he never forgot what Nico's face looked like when he first walked into his cabin earlier that summer. . .

"WHAT THE BLOODY HELL IS THIS?!?!?!" Nico asked/shouted at Will when he entered his cabin. "WHO DO PEOPLE THINK I AM? I'M NOT A BLOODY VAMPIRE!"

Will had to giggle at how cute Nico looked when angry. He could practically see the smoke coming out of the older boy's ears.

The two boys started cuddling. Will kissed Nico goodnight. Sleepily Nico said, "but I've got a cold. . ."

"What's a cold between boyfriends?" Will said, then he smiled and the pair fell asleep holding each other in their arms.
