"Neeks?"

I opened my eyes slowly, seeing Will crouching in front of me. 

"Hey," I slowly started to sit up, confused.

"Hey, hey, hey, lay back down," He placed his hand on my chest, pushing me back on the couch slowly.

"Will i'm f-"

"I said, lay back down,"

I did as he said, my head resting on a pillow.

"You okay?" Will asked, brushing my hair out of my face.

"Yeah no, it wasn't bad this time,"

I glanced around, seeing that I was laying on the couch in the living room.

"Oh? How so?"

"It was a good memory this time,"

Will didn't say anything, as if he was waiting for me to continue.

"It was from that day in the infirmary," I continued hesitantly , closing my eyes.

"Oh, i see," he glanced down at his hands, trying to hide his smile.

"I don't know why though, normally they are all awful memories, normally memories from Tartarus. But this one, I knew that it wasn't going to be bad. Like when my vision started to disappear, i knew it wasn't going to be bad," I stared up at the sky as i spoke, "I probably sound crazy, don't i?"

"No, no, well maybe a little bit. You normally sound a little crazy.  I may be a doctor but i don't know everything. It's very possible that you aren't crazy, but it's also very possible you are crazy," he shook his head, still smiling.

"Will?" I said after a couple minutes of silence.

"Yeah?"

"Thank you," my voice hovering around a whisper

"For what?" Will laughed.

"For being here," I glanced down at him and smiled.

"You don't need to thank me," he shook his head again, "I'm just doing what anyone would."

"Anyone? I don't see anyone else here," I pointed out.

"I suppose but-"

"Shhh," I pressed my finger to his lips, stopping his words.

"Got it," he whispered, his lips brushing against my finger as he took my hand, wrapping his hands around mine. 

"Good," I whispered back, closing my eyes, relaxing.

"Go back to sleep Neeks," He whispered, noticing my closed eyes. 

He leaned forward, kissing my forehead. My heart skipped a beat at the warmth of his lips, a smile playing on my lips

" 'night Sunshine," I squeezed his hand, letting myself fall back to sleep, knowing that I was safe.
