Will didn't mean to fall asleep. Could you blame the guy? In all honestly, it's not like there would've been a medical emergency tonight, the only people in here is Sherman Yang and Cecil Markowitz because Cecil thought it'd be a grand idea to prank the Ares Cabin and was a little too close to Sherman's anger-blast zone. Neither of them got that injured, Sherman got a slap in the face from Miranda, if anything, Cecil ended up with a broken wrist and a few scratch marks.

Mr. D's punishment for them (Chiron thought it was actually a wonderful idea) was to be handcuffed together, meaning they both had to sleep in the infirmary because Will wanted to make sure Cecil's wrist was fine after a night on some ambrosia.

So, anyway, here he is, sitting in one of the empty hospital beds while the two patients were snoring away (Cecil snores louder than Sherman, if you're wondering... Sherman isn't really snoring at all).

It was surprising quiet in the infirmary (minus the snoring), but Will wondered what it'd be like to be a summer camper like a lot of half-bloods. Well, a good thing about being full time is getting a phone, because monsters are not able to come into camp. (I'm ignoring that there is some monsters IN CAMP ok?)

Will rubbed his face and stretched before walking towards the door of the private room. Unfortunately, he stopped at the sound of his phone ringing. Groggily looking at the bright light of his phone, he saw his boyfriend's bad profile picture.

Nico was gone for the Underworld's yearly send off party where they say goodbye to Persephone for the next 6-ish months. Nico had rekindled his relationship with his father and step-mother the past few years and this was usual for him to be gone in the beginning of the year. But Will missed him a lot.

Not like 1940s ailing wife waiting for her dear husband to come back from fighting in a war, sad. But Will definitely missed their midday cuddle sessions in the private office of the infirmary. Will rubbed his eyes again before picking up the call.

"Hello?" He said hoarsely, man he needs some Gatorade.

"Wwwillll, williammm William andrw... soLACE!" A drunken voice answered.

He's drunk again. "Darlin, how much did you drink this time? I told you not to," Will sighed.

"Thhhanatos s-said, hahah... heheheHE SaId I was annoyinggg... so! He gave me a drink!" Nico laughed breathed heavily.

"What did Hades say about that?" Will asked, softly, going back to sit on the cot.

"Hhades? Whoseee thad? Are you,.. cheating on mmme?" Nico muttered.

"No, baby, of course not, Hades is your dad," Will said calmly.

"Aah... waaaah, Will you're... you're ch-cheating!" Nico wailed softly into the fun.

"No, baby, I'm not. I love you so much, and I wanna know what's goin on at the party," Will replied.

"Party?" Nico stopped his crying, sounding happier, "the paardy is fuuunnn, haha, you should be hheree.. why aren't youuu?"

"Just... because," Will said, he couldn't think of a reason, he was too tired. And cold. The infirmary did not have good blankets in his opinion. Or in general. He should look into that.

"I'm tired, Wwilllliam," Nico mumbled.

"Okay, go drink some water, okay?" Will said.

"Water...? Water!" Nico dropped the phone with a clatter and Will could hear some noise of him walking away to the concession stand.

Will waited on the phone for Nico to come back, but he didn't come after about 5 minutes, making Will doze off a bit. It didn't take long before he was awoken by a string of "Will"s.

"Hm?" Will replied.

"I got water..." Nico said.

"Oh. Oh yeah, water... you sound better already, baby," Will mumbled into his phone.

"Mmm, I'm drunk."

"I know, baby."

"I'm drunk. And I miss you."

"Aw, I miss you too, baby."

"I wanna hug you," Nico sighed.

"I do too, baby." Will smiled.

"I like when you call me that," Nico mumbled, as if he was dozing off.

"I know, that's why I call you that," Will laughed. "You sound tired, baby, go to bed."

"I don' wanna" Nico muttered, Will heard some shuffling which he could only assume was Nico thrashing.

"But baby... you'll see me tomorrow you know, then I'll give you the biggest hug and all the kisses you want, just go to bed and I'll be there when you wake up," Will tried. He wasn't technically wrong, he was going to see him soon, but not "tomorrow" as in "today", but literally the day after this one. He hated being up so early in the morning, it's confusing.

"Okay," Nico said. "Night night."

"Goodnight, baby," Will said, he could hear Nico laugh in response, making the son of Apollo smile. "See you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow," Nico replied in a fit of laughter.

Will blacked out as soon as the call ended.
___
The next morning, Will had a very angry wake up text about him lying about meeting him today and a skull-splitting hangover.
