I Like You-Solangelo

Solangelo

Nico:

Three days. Three days I had to stay at the infirmary. That bad part is that well I don't feel bad about it. Three days at the infirmary meant three days with Will.

Will was something else. He was constantly helping and healing others. He was selfless and brave. He was bright and optimistic. He was the exact opposite of me.

I mean I can't really say I'm much of a healer. I'm better with the dead. I don't consider myself extremely selfless either. I made a lot of selfish mistakes in the past though I am trying to make up for it now. Bright and optimistic? I don't even need to explain that.

And his looks seem to add onto his perfection. Tanned skin. Crystal blue eyes. Blonde hair. Straight white teeth which added to his bright smile. Yeah, he was the complete opposite of me. But I was starting to like that more and more. I was starting to like him more and more.

Which is why I can't complain about going to the infirmary. Only problem is well I don't think he likes me. Hell, I don't even know if he likes guys. And even if he does. How would all this work out? Would everyone accept us?

And I only just started to truly accept myself. Am I ready for this. It was all pounding in my head as Will and I trudged to the infirmary. Suddenly I started to black spots and shadows surrounding me. The last think I saw was blinding light fighting the shadows.

Will:

Holy Hades. I looked back when I noticed that Nico stopped following me and couldn't believe what was happening. The shadows were engulfing Nico. I rushed back to him blinding light surrounding me as I tried to pull Nico out of the darkness. My light fought the darkness until the darkness finally left leaving me a limp Nico in my arms.

I rushed to the infirmary and quickly fed him ambrosia and nectar. Thankfully it seemed that he was still breathing correctly and was just in a deep slumber. The bad part was that it didn't seem like he would wake up soon and I don't know what I was going to do.

What if he never woke up? I don't know what I'd do. He was amazing but I know he didn't think that. He was brave, beyond brave really. He roamed alone for so long which meant he must have fought by himself. Yet he's still alive. He's barely at camp. Roamed the labyrinth. Had known about both camps. Helped the seven in their quest. And even shadow traveled the Athena Parthenos back. Yet somehow he was still alive.

That is undeniable strength. And he wasn't that scrawny boy from so many years back. I remember that boy. I remember having a crush on that boy too. But now he has grown. Grown into so much more. He had some muscle, but it just wasn't as noticeable.

He was truly amazing and that's why he needed to wake up. He deserved so much more. To live so much more. Please gods, let him live.

One week later:

It's been a week and his still hasn't woken up yet. I don't know what to do anymore. And truthfully I was losing hope.

The seven (except for Leo since he's still MIA) have been visiting every day and even Reyna came by the first two days before going back to Camp Jupiter. I have learned a lot more about Nico this past week from all the stories his friends would share while at the infirmary. I was really starting to fall in love with him.

But he still wasn't up. And I've started to spend all of my time in his room since I couldn't even concentrate on anything else anymore. Suddenly I hear the door open and Percy and Jason come in.

"You're still here Will?" Jason asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Yeah, I haven't really left for the last two days. I just couldn't really concentrate on anything else." Will looks away as he says this. He knew what it sounded like. But it was true. He couldn't leave Nico anymore because he cared too much.
