PJO One-Shots (Fluff)

Sick Day (Solangelo)

***NICO POV***

Nico knew he was sick the second he opened his eyes. The immediate feeling of being cold but sticky with sweat, how the small strand of light that came from a curtain covered window hurt his eyes. He went to sit up so he could see the clock on the table next to his bed but instantly regretted it. A sense of dizziness and nausea came over him, he looked at the clock. 4:00 p.m. That's not good. By now someone would have noticed that Nico hadn't shown up all day and by someone he meant Will. A knock on the door startled him "Hey, Nico. It's Kayla, you in there ?" He laid back down on the bed "Go away !" Of course, Kayla did the exact opposite. The door swung open, fresh air filling the humid cabin. "Wow, you look terrible." Nico scowled and threw a pillow at her, which only went two feet thanks to his weakened state. Kayla moved closer to him, he tried to hide under the covers of the bed, but she was faster. "Your really sick, you might wanna go to the infirmary." she gently suggested "Not a chance" he growled. There was no way in Tartarus that Nico was going out in public looking the way he did. "Fine, you need to get checked out. And I know just who..." Nico didn't yet understand who she meant, the truth was in that moment he didn't really care. Before he could tell her that he didn't want anyone near him while he was sick, she stepped out of the cabin. Great. It felt like hours later even though it had probably only been thirty minutes at most when another person walked into the cabin. It shouldn't have surprised him that it was Will who Kayla sent, why would it, Will was his boyfriend after all. "Nico, are you okay ? Kayla told me..." he finally walked close enough to get a good look at Nico. "...sick. Very, very, sick." This time Nico succeed in hiding under the covers, Will has not as fast as Kayla. "Go away, Solace." "No, you need to be taken care of. Lucky for you, your boyfriend is the head healer." Will moved closer and unfolded the blanket, revealing a paler than normal Nico with a little pink on his cheeks. Nico was still a little new to being called someone's boyfriend. "You could get sick to" Nico continued to protest. "I can't get sick, one of the perks of being a child of Apollo." Will informed him as he put down a bag that Nico hadn't seen until now, it was one of the medic bags from the infirmary. "Now sit still while I take your temperature." Nico sat and watched as Will went in full doctor mode ( It's what Nico called it when he gets like this ) which went on for about fifteen minutes. Now he was in a different set of PJs, eating soup, watching a movie on a tablet that Will had set up ( Leo had finally perfected monster proof technology ). "Thanks for taking care of me." Nico told Will as he set down the empty bowl. "Your welcome, now how about you get some sleep." Nico's body agreed with Will's suggestion, his head already resting against the pillow, sleep instantly came over him.

***WILL POV***

Will always thought that Nico looked more peaceful sleeping, he looked more like a 14-year-old boy this way. Though he would never admit it to Nico, he loved taking care of the son of Hades. It was about 7:00 p.m before he considered leaving, Nico was still fast asleep and would be better in the morning ( he only had a small case of the flu, it only lasted 24 hours ) so there would be no point of him staying. He had attempted to leave, but before he could make it five feet he heard some grumbling. Will turned around to see a still sleeping Nic pulling all of his covers on top of himself, but he still looked cold. Will forgot the idea of leaving or the fact that his siblings would notice him not showing in his cabin if he didn't get back by curfew, and made his way back to him. As soon as he touched Nico's shoulder, he was grabbed by Nico's other arm and pulled into the bed. Will was now spread on top of Nico, apparently being used to keep Nico warm, he stopped shivering. Will wanted to move, he didn't want to explain to Nico what happened, but that might wake him up. Nico needed rest, plus Will was just as exhausted from taking care of him. He watched the movie that he had originally put on for Nico until he fell asleep as well.

***NICO POV***

Nico did not expect to wake up with a camera in his face, the white light blinding him. "What..." he mumbled, the clock on his bedside informing him that it was 11:00 p.m. He was also shocked to find a sleeping Will next to him, he looked up to see who was the intruder. "Kayla ?" Will's half-sister smiled at Nico "Hello, Nico." the camera went off again. "Will you stop doing that, what the hades are you doing here ?" She lowered the camera in her hands "Well, I was looking for Will. He didn't show so I thought I'd ask you where he went, but instead, I found the two of you like this." She gestured to Will, who was just beginning to stir. "Nico, what's going...Ahhh ! Kayla ?! What are you doing here ?" Kayla took a photo of her now flustered half-brother. "As I already explained to your boyfriend. You didn't show up so I came looking for you, but instead found you cuddling him." she pointed at Nico, who was blushing just as hard as Will. "What's with the camera ? Where you taking..." "Photos of you two cuddling, absolutely. It's adorable. Well now that I found you, and my new screensaver for my laptop, I'm going to bed. Good night you two, good luck explaining this to the rest of us Will." Kayla walked out of the cabin with no further explanation or comment. "She...she just...Will, there is something mentally wrong with your sister." "Not disagreeing with you." "So, you want to explain why you were sleeping next to me." "'Are you complaining ?" Nico blushed harder if that was possible. "No" "Good. It's still pretty late and there is no way I'm going to my cabin tonight, so I'm going back to sleep." Nico sagged back down "Agreed." They both fell back asleep in no time. The next day Will would find out that it was possible for a child of Apollo to get sick.
