My eyes cracked open, the sun shining into my face.

I groaned, closing my eyes again. I rolled over, burying my head in a pillow.

Wait what? Why was i in my bed?

I sat up, glancing around as if that would give me an answer.

I glanced at the clock, yawning.

12:34pm

I stood up, stretching. 

I wasn't sure what happened last night. But i did know that Will had kissed my hand.

Could that mean something? It could. Or it could be nothing.

I needed to talk to Will. But I would have to find the courage to do that.

I sighed and ran my fingers through my hair, not even bothering to look in a mirror.

I stuck my hands in the pockets of Will's Dallas Cowboys hoodie, and headed downstairs.

"Oh, look who's up!" Hazel called.

"It's to early for this," I yawned, rubbing my eyes.

"Hey Neeks," Will smiled, walking over to me.

" Mornin'," 

"Come on, you're eating something," Will took my hand, pulling my into the kitchen.

"I'm coming, i'm coming," I laughed, not letting go of his hand.

"Sit," he pulled out a chair for me at the counter, gesturing for me to sit.

"Got it," I sat, crossing my legs.

"Here, eat," he passed me a plate of eggs.

"do we have ketchup?"

"You are disgusting," he shook his head, passing me the ketchup.

"You're lucky i just woke up," i glared at him.

"I know," he winked, smiling.

We sat there for a few minutes in silence as i ate. Will leaned against the counter, typing something on his phone.

"Will?" I started, not looking up.

"Yeah?"

"Can we talk?"

"Yeah, of course,"

I bit my lip, glancing over into the living room. Hazel and Frank had left but still...

"Not right now, later,"

"Alright," he shrugged, "I'm going to go take a shower, i'll see you in a little bit,"

He walked away, his fingers tracing across my back.

I watched as he left, biting my tongue. 

I had done it. Well, i hadn't done that much. But I was going to have to talk to Will about my feelings for him. 

I stood up, placing my plate in the sink.

I ran my fingers through my hair, walking into the living room when my vision started to blur over black.

I clutched the wall, trying to clear my vision. 

I braced myself, knowing that this was about to turn into another flashback. But there was something about it, something different. I wasn't scared of this one. It felt strangely welcoming. 

I slid down the wall, closing my eyes, passing out.

---------------------------------------------------

I sat in the infirmary, my legs crossed and my chin balanced in my palm.

I really didn't need to be here but Will being the person he was, I had been here for the past 3 days. He was finally going to let me leave today.

But i wasn't sure how to feel about that. There was something about Will, I wasn't sure about him. I wanted to hate him. He was annoying and bossy. But something about him confused me. It was like what I had felt for Percy....but different.

"Hey Neeks," 

I glanced up, seeing Will walk into the room.

"I'm going to kill you," I glared at him.

I pretended to dislike the nickname but i actually thought it was kind of cute.

"Good luck with that," Will rolled his eyes, smiling, "how are you feeling?"

"I've told you this a hundred times Will, i'm fine,"

"Uh huh," He pressed the back of his hand to my forehead, checking my temperature.

"Will, i said i'm fine," i said, pushing his hand away.

"Shh, be quiet for a moment will ya'?"

He pressed his fingers to my neck, checking my pulse.

"Will-"

His lips pressed against mine, stopping my words.

"I told you to be quiet Neeks," he whispered, his lips brushing against my neck.

I bit my lip, shutting up. 

He just kissed me.

He had seriously just kissed me.

"You should really sleep more Death Boy," Will smiled, seeming completely unfazed.

Hard to sleep when you're racing through my mind...

"I'm fine," I rolled my eyes trying to breath.

"I said you need more sleep," he smiled, squinting slightly.

"Fine, fine," I raised my hands in surrender, laughing.

"Good,"

He ran his fingers through his hair and turned around, walking out of the room.

-----------------------------------------

My mind skipped ahead a couple hours, in the same day.

-------------------------------------------

I sat on the roof of my cabin, trying to think.

Will had kissed me, totally out of the blue. I wasn't sure what to do.

I loved it, those few seconds when his lips were pressed against mine. I wanted him to do it again.

"Hey Death Boy," 

I turned to see Will climbing up onto the roof, walking over to me.

"Hey,"

"What exactly are you doing up here?" he asked, sitting down next to me.

"Just thinking," I shrugged, picking at my shoes.

"Oh? What about?"

Will laid back, staring up at the sky.

"I don't know Will, i just-" I shook my head, trying to think what to say, "You kissed me Will. You kissed me, completely randomly!"

"I did do that," 

I glanced at him quickly, seeing him smiling.

"You can't just do that Will!"

"Do you just want to kiss you again?" he joked.

"Maybe," I whispered, mostly to myself.

"Well you should have just said that," Will sat up, cupping his hand under my chin.

He leaned in and kissed me slowly, the warmth of his lips sending chills down my spine.

"I love you Nico,"
