Sunshine Bandaids

(Will has a special pack of sunshine Bandaids reserved for himself and people he likes. They're his way of letting people know that a person is his without having to confess or actually saying it. Kayla noticed one on Nico.)

~Kayla POV~

"Geez...you need to stop picking fights with creatures bigger than you." Will said.

Nico huffed and just let himself get bandaged up.

"There you go." Will said. "All fixed up."

"Thanks, I guess." Nico grumbled.

Will just smiled at the grumpy boy. Nico got up and left. Before he was out the door, I noticed a bandaid on his nose. A sunshine bandaid.

"No!" I gasped. "You didn't!"

Austin looked over, confused.

"Does he know what those bandaids mean?" I asked.

"No, and you're not going to tell him." Will replied.

"Why shouldn't I?" I asked.

"Because Clarisse has been looking for someone to take her chores for the month and I have the ability to volunteer you for that." He replied. "She has Tuesday bathroom duty."

I shivered.

"That is cruel and unusual punishment, William Solace!" I said.

{A Few Days Later}

Austin and I watch Will and Nico from afar.

"Nico. You need to eat something." Will said.

"I'm not hungry." Nico retorted.

His stomach growled.

"...traitor..." He said. "Either way, I'm-"

Will shoved a grape in Nico's mouth then handed him the bowl.

"Eat those. All of them." Will told him. "I'll stay here all day to watch you if I have to."

Nico huffed but listened.

"I wanna tell him." I said. "But Will won't let me. Maybe I could get someone else to tell him..."

I looked at Austin.

"Hell no! I heard what Will said. I'm not doing that." He replied. "Pick someone else!"

He pointed.

"Jason gets along with Nico and Will can't punish him." He suggested.

"Maybe..." I said.

I watched Jason Grace walk the lawn, half paying attention to anything as he read. He ended up tripping over a satyr.

{A Couple Days Later}

"You gotta tell him what those bandaids mean." I told Will.

"I don't want to." He said.

"But he's gay. He might like you back." I said.

"I'm not telling him what those bandaids mean and neither are you." He stated. "End of discussion."

I huffed as he walked away. Then I spotted Jason getting bandaged up by Austin.

"You're free to go." Austin said.

"Hi!" I greeted.

Jason and Austin jumped.

"When did you get over here?!" Jason asked.

"Just now." I shrugged. "Can I ask for your help with something?"

"Sure? I guess?" He replied

"You have an evil plan, don't you?" Austin sighed.
