Boyfriend's Orders

(The Ares cabin decided to be a handful so Will hasn't slept in days. Nico is none too pleased. Earlier I was listening to The Sun and The Star audiobook and had to remind myself it's not fanfiction, it's actually canon.)

~Nico POV~

One of the new Ares camper dropped one of cabin 5's landmines. The entire cabin ended up in the infirmary three days ago and hasn't been discharged yet.

I watched as Will ran from patient to patient in the infirmary. He looks like the dead. Even coming from me, that's bad. Austin flipped through some papers. I went over to him.

"Hey, Austin." I said.

"Nico! Hey!" Austin replied. "You look more annoyed than usual, what's up?"

"It's Will." I told him. "He hasn't been sleeping, has he?"

Austin glanced at his older brother then looked at me and nodded.

"He refuses to sleep until the Ares cabin is discharged but none of them can be yet." He told me. "He's working himself ragged."

Why did I have to fall for a workaholic?

"Heads-up, he's not going to his shifts for the next week." I told him. "He needs a break."

"What? Are you going to drag him kicking and screaming out of here?" Austin joked.

"Exactly." I replied. "Got a problem with that?"

"No." Austin replied. "I'll cover for him the rest of the day."

"Follow me." I told him

We walked over to Will, dodging Apollo campers as we crossed the room.

"Sherman Yang. Hey." I said to Will's patient. "Austin will be taking care of you from now on."

I took Will's clipboard and handed it to Austin. Will and Sherman both looked at me shocked and confused.

"Nico, my darling." Will said as I grabbed his arms. "What are you doing?"

"Will here is leaving early because he desperately needs a rest." I said, ignoring the blond's comment. "Have a nice day and get well soon."

With that, I dragged my significant annoyance out the infirmary though he protested.

"Nico Di Angelo!" Will shouted as I pushed him out the door.

I closed the door behind us, so we didn't bother anyone sleeping or resting. Will looked at me with his arms crossed and a frown on his face.

"What was that about?" He asked.

"You. Need. To. Rest." I said, stressing every word. "I said that in there."

He looked down, clearly not liking that answer.

"Now, Austin's covering for you today." I told him. "Your other siblings will have to step up too because you're not working for the next week."

"What?!" He exclaimed, looking up and uncrossing his arms. "Nico, you can't just stop me from working! Healing is the only thing I'm good at!"

"You're good at plenty of things, Tesoro. It doesn't matter if you didn't get all the abilities from Apollo." I told him.

"I can't just abandon the infirmary for a week." He replied. "I'm the top healer in camp. I'm the head medic!"

"Doesn't matter. You're taking a week off." I spat. "Boyfriend's orders!"

He stopped and stared at me.
