3 Days

More than rest

Nico's jaw almost dropped when he stepped into the infirmary. He knew Will was busy, but nothing could've prepared him for this.

"You should've seen what it looked like the other day, when the Romans were still here. Right now most of these people are just resting, and will be out of here soon though." Will said once he saw Nico's reaction.

"Oh..." Nico didn't know what else to say. He felt guilty. Maybe he should've dropped by...

"Here, I'll take you to one of the back rooms. You'll need more medical attention then this lot." Will started to walk down the aisles of beds.

"What's that supposed to mean?" He couldn't help but feel slightly offended. Does Will think I'm weak? Nico asked himself. They rounded a corner when they reached the back, then Will spoke.

"You've been shadow traveling for days, while fighting off monsters on the way."

"I've been resting and I-"

"Well you need a little more than rest to completely heal. Now sit down." Will interrupted, as they walked into the back room. He gestured toward the bed, and closed the door. Nico didn't sit down, but rather crossed his arms and gave Will a glare.

"What? Is there something wrong Death Boy?" He teased.

"Why do you even want me here?" Nico asked, ignoring being called Death Boy.

"I already told you. You're my friend. I care about you, and you need proper medical attention. Will you just do what I say?" Will raised an eyebrow at Nico.

"Will, will you change your name?" He said this, but sat down anyway.

"What's wrong with Solace?" Will seemed confused.

"No not your last name. It's annoying when I have to say Will, will.... ya know what I'm just gonna stop right there." Nico huffed.

"Whatever, guess it doesn't matter then. Take of your shirt." Will demanded, as he turned around to get out his medical kit.

"W-what for?!" Nico said sounding panicked, and he then blushed such a fiery red, Leo's flames would look weak in comparison.

"You got attacked by those wolves, I have to treat your wounds. Unless you want to deal with all that stinging for a while." Will calmly replied.

"...Fine." Nico agreed reluctantly, and took of his shirt. He'd much rather deal with a little embarrassment, than the stinging.

"Alright just lay down and relax, the doctor will fix you up." Will started to walk over with all of his medical supplies at hand. Nico laid back and tried to calm his heart.

"You're not a doctor."

"Sure I don't have a license, but no mortal doctor could treat you. Besides who needs a license when you're as charming as me?" Will gave Nico a dazzling smile... right as he took his pulse. Oh gods, Nico thought as he mentally face palmed.

"Hm, weird. Are you feeling hot?" Will leaned over the table.. and Nico, as he felt his head. Nico was suddenly very conscious of everything. His breath, pulse, the way he looked. And Will's smell. He smelt like honey, pine, and slightly of medicine from being in the infirmary so often this past little while.

Will stood up, leaving Nico a little disappointed.

"Well you don't have a fever, but I'm going to keep an eye on your temp. over these next three days. Anyways time to treat those wounds of yours..."
