Nico trudged down the hallway of the infirmary, the only place he could crash while the Hades cabin was being fixed. Leo had accidentally torched it during a particularly intense game of Mythomagic. Nico considered himself lucky; he had managed to grab his cards before they went up in flames. Nicos already sour mood was added to by the annoyingly cheery voice of Will Solace.
“Whoa! Neeks? I have never seen you up this early”
“I’m going to bed Solace” Nico replied not stoping his walk to get a hot chocolate before sleep, he gave Will his biggest eye roll possible even though he wasn’t able to see it.
“What do you mean going to bed? Have you not just woken up?”
“No Solace, I haven’t gone to sleep yet. Did I not just specify that?” Nico grumbled, Will grabbed Nicos wrist.
“Nico! You need to be sleeping” Will stoped, tugging on Nicos arm,
“That’s what I am going to do as soon as you stop pestering me and let me get my hot chocolate!” He growled trying to rip his wrist out of Wills grip
“No. I’ll do that. You—bed… Doctors orders” Will demanded, tightening his grin on Nicos wrist.
“I’m not staying in the infirmary because I’m sick! You know that! And you can’t boss me around since I’m only staying while my cabin is being rebuilt” Nico yelled.
“As long as you are apart of this camp i am your doctor. Whether you like it or not! So you will do as I say” Will growled his voice calm and stern.
“No” Nico scowled, stomping off towards the kitchen, Will caught back to up Nico. He turned to glare at Will, but before he could even start his epic glare, he was hoisted up into Wills arms and was carried back to the room he was staying in. Will placed him gently on the bed, tucked the blanket around him like he was some… some cranky burrito! And left without a word. Nico sat shocked, before he could finish processing what had just happened Will reappeared in front of him shoving a warm mug into his hands. Nico looked down at the warm mug in his hands, eyeing Will off he sat with a mug of his own looking extremely smug. Nico sniffed the mug, the sweet sent of chocolate filled his sent. Nico took a reluctant sip.
“I hate you Solace”
“I know” Will smile only became smugger. “It’s adorable”
Nicos scowl deepened. He took another sip— traitorously delicious.
“You’re not staying here, right?” Nico muttered
“Sure am,” Will said. He leaned back in the chair, propped his feet up on the edge of Nico’s bed. “Have to make sure you sleep”
Nico huffed, he opened the blanket up. “Well?”
“Well what?” Wills grin was so smug, you could tell he was Apollos son.
“Don’t make me say it” Nicos mumbled his cheeks blooming with red.
“Say what?” Will teased
“Never mind” Nico mumbled let his arm drop, he rolled over ignoring the son of Apollo.
“No nico I’m sorry!”
Nico huffed, pulling the blanket tighter around his shoulders. He mumbled something in Italian that Will was pretty sure was a creative insult.
“Oh come on! Don’t be like that, death boy” Will lifted the covers up, Nico hissed like a vampire as he slipped his thongs off and climbed into the bed with Nico. As most cold blooded creatures, Nico was drawn towards Will’s furnace heat, despite ‘being pissed off’. He clung to him as they both drifted towards sleep.
“Love you, Angel” Will said softly,
“Love you too…” Nico mumbled, his breaths evening out.

“WILLIAM SOLACE!” Will woke with a shock. Kayla stormed in going off about him sleeping on the job. Will glanced down at poor Nico was was rubbing sleep out of his eyes.
“Wha?” He mumbled,
“Nothing, nothing, go back to sleep Neeks” Will shushed, he couldn’t help but notice Kayla had quieted down, realising Nico was sleeping.
