'No underworld-y stuff'

'But-'

'Doctors orders'

I couldn't help but smile at the fact that Will thought that that was a legitimate excuse for me not doing stuff.

The light shone directly down onto him, making it look like he was centre stage at a show, his blonde hair messy, yet looking perfectly styled. I'd have to ask him how he did that because all the time I have a mop on top of my head.

'What are you smiling at' will asked, pulling me out of my staring. Let's hope he didn't notice that.

'Nothing, is there any chance I can out earlier'

Will's face momentarily looked heart broken, but almost instantly went back to normal. It was such a fast change I wondered if it actually happened, perhaps it was just a trick of the light.

'No can do, 3 days minimum'

I didn't actually want to leave early it's just that, with all the staring I've been doing, he might start to realise I have a crush on him, then he'll probably push me away like everyone does.

Wait a minute, hold up. I do NOT have a crush on him. Sure I think he's good looking with that blonde hair, and blue eyes that I could stare at for hours at a time, and that dazzling smile, no. Stop it. I don't have a crush on him, besides there is no way he'd have a crush on me either so I shouldn't get my hopes up.

After a few seconds of silence Will
spoke.

'I should probably ask some routined questions now that I know your not gonna faint at any moment'

'Uh, yeah ok' uh yeah ok, is that all I can say to him

'So, feeling slightly dizzy?'
'Nope'
'Headache, stomach ache, ache anywhere?'
' not at the moment'
'Tired?'
'Yes, as always'
'Ok well dinner is in a few hours so if you want to get some rest in now, you can, I'll wake you up when the horn sounds ok?'
'Ok' I said while yawning, which then caused Will to yawn. Gods he looked cute when he yawned, with his nose scrunched up, no stop it I chided myself, I need to stop thinking that way.

I lied back down onto the bed, and almost instantly fell asleep, as I fell, I thought I heard someone mumble something, but I couldn't quite make out what it was. I didn't bother asking because I was exhausted, I hadn't realised how little I had rested since I got back to camp with the Athena Parthenon.

I had a mixture of nightmares, which wasn't unusual for demigods, but they didn't really make sense. It was a lot of fighting and shouting in blurred visions, until Percy came up to me and spoke in Will's voice 'Nico, it's time for dinner'

I felt a hand on my shoulder which I quickly shrugged away before realising it was Will.

'The horn just went, it's time for dinner'

'O-ok' I said sleepily, not fully awake.

'That means you actually have to get up' he laughed, it was the kind of laugh that could light up a room no matter how dull it was.
-------
We made our way to the hall, walking in a comfortable silence, occasionally our shoulders touched, well, as much as they could with the height difference, and we both looked anywhere but each other while blushing.

'You should probably eat me' said Will, breaking the silence

I started giggling at his mess up

'WITH, I meant with, you should probably eat with me' Will was now blushing furiously, stuttering, and mumbling incoherent words under his breath.

By the time I had controlled my giggles we were inside the pavilion. Will dragged me over to the Apollo table, I got a few skeptical looks but most people didn't care.  Chiron looked down at is from the top table but didn't say anything about me not being sat at the Hades table, I guess it didn't matter that much.

I began to eat my rather unhealthy meal while Will attacked a salad, gods that boy was healthy. It made me realise that I should probably eat more healthily, but then I remembered McDonalds and that thought went out the window.

'What are you thinking about?' Will said, noticing that I had zones out.

'How healthy you are, have you ever even eaten chocolate before?' I giggled, while trying to act seriously.

'Well, yeah obviously, but I just like to be healthy, maybe you should try it at some point'

'Hmmf' I turned back to my meal to try and hide my smile

When we had both finished, we walked back to the infirmary, despite my insistence that I didn't need to go and that I was fine

'No you're not Nico, you look like you could pass out any minute now with how pale and skinny you are'

1) it's not my fault I was pale
And 2) I couldn't exactly have eaten a lot while being in a  jar could I?

I didn't say that, I decide not to start an argument with the first person who showed how much they cared about me since Hazel.

The thought of Hazel made me sad, she has left this morning and already the camp seemed empty without her and her fellow Romans.

------
As soon as we got back to the infirmary I lied down on my bed, got under the duvet, and closed my eyes.

'Someone's tired' will laughed

I mumble something that was supposed to be 'go away' but because my head was in my pillow it came out something like 'fo awray'

The last thing I heard before drifting into unconscious was the sound of Will's laugh.
