Will's Pov ☀️☀️☀️

I just fixed a demigod's detached arm before going to the restroom to wash my face. As I washed my face, I thought about Nico, his smile, or the way he got flustered when I called him Death Boy.

Oh Nico... I sigh dreamily to myself.

Wait... Nico! Oh my gods!! I haven't checked him out... I mean checked his vitals since yesterday!!

I rush to the room at the back of the infirmary that was given to Nico.

Nico's Pov 💀💀💀

I suddenly woke up and I was back in the infirmary. I covered my eyes with my arm because of the depressingly bright tube lights in my room. 

Where is Will ? It was all a dream. I grunt in frustration.

I need to get out of here soon.

Nico started to wonder if he and Will would still talk after his three days in the infirmary.

What if he forgets about me... everyone does eventually... At that thought Nico started to cry softly in his blanket.

There was a slight knock on his door. He quickly wiped his tears, his eyes still puffy, and tried to put up his walls before asking the mystery person to enter.

"Hey, Death Boy!" Nico was looking down but when he heard Will's voice he quickly perked up.

"Oh Hey, Will! What are u doing here?"

"You are in the infirmary and I am your doctor." Will replied like it was obvious. Nico turned red from embarrassment.

"Right..."

Will got a small chair and sat beside Nico's bed before taking his temperature.

"Did that dream actually happen?"

"Yup! So... you like ur new name huh?" He replied with a smirk as he got out his stethoscope.

"Will!" I groan. Will chuckles and the metal of the stethoscope is cold against my chest even through my clothes.

"Were you crying?" 

"W-what!? No!"

"Don't lie Death Boy, I can see it in your eyes... Now what's the matter?"

"It's nothing!" Will looks at me expectantly and in a way that clearly tells me that he ain't buying any of my crap.

"Will we still be friends after my stay here?" I whisper, barely audible. Will looks shocked at my question. He puts all the 'doctor' stuff down and looks at me warmly that sends a jolt through my body.

"What makes you think we won't? of course we will, Neeks. Is everything ok?"

"Yeah, yeah everything is fine." My voice cracks and I feel so... conflicted I dunno...

"Hug?" I nod and Will embraces me tightly. 

I hug back and we just stay in that position for a while before Will says, "Wanna go arching?", with a mischievous smirk.

I look at him, gaping.
