Back to Nico's pov

I moaned, opening my eyes and shutting them quickly. Why is my cabin so bright? It's almost as white as the infir- Oh. Right. I'm stuck in the infirmary for three days. But why does my head hurt. Memories came flooding back. The pain, Will on me, Wait, WHAT? Did Will sit on me?!? More pain, a bloody nose. . . ? I don't know. All I know is that my head is pounding, and it's to bright. I heard a chuckle beside me, and I turned my head squinting my eyes to see. My eyes widened as I took in the sight of Will. His eyes had horrible bags under his eyes, his eyelids were drooping, telling me he hadn't slept for a while, but his smile was still bright as ever. "Hi Deathboy." He said. "Hi?" I rasped, but it came out as more of a question. "And don't call me Deathboy." I grumbled as an after thought. He chuckled than asked worriedly, "Are you OK?" I raised an eyebrow, something I knew Will was jealous of because he can only raise both. "I should be asking you that." I said chuckling. Will pointed to himself, looking sincerely confused. I laughed at him. "Go look in the mirror Solace." Will walked over to the mirror and gasped. He ran his hands through his messy hair, and stared at his face. He turned to me, and sighed. "I'm just worried about you, excuse my appearance." I stared at him trying to process. He's worried about me? He cares? Why? I'm a good for nothing son of Hades. I felt the tears build up, and I hid my face in my pillow, trying to stop the tears. It was no use. The tears flowed, faster and faster, until I was gasping for breath. Shoulders shaking, and fist clenched, I shook, tears staining the pillow. I felt the bed dip, and know that Will had sat down. "Sunshine, don't cry." Sunshine?! What the Hades? I mean come on! Me, a bright person? pfft. No. Well, not anymore any way. Back when Bianca was alive maybe. The realization just made me cry harder. I felt Will's extremely warm hand on my back, and it started to rub little circles on my back. I didn't stop him, it felt good and I started to calm down enough to hear what he was saying. "That's right Nico, cry it out honey. You're OK. I'm here." I turned and curled around, so that My legs were behind Will, but my head was in his lap. He didn't complain, so I relaxed, and started to take deep but unsteady breaths. Will played with my hair, as I calmed down. Slowly my eyelids drooped, and my breathing evened. Will must have thought I fell asleep, since I heard him say, "I like you a lot Sunshine. No, more than a lot." I felt pressure on my forehead for a second, and I realized that Will had kissed me. But before I could say something, sleep overtook me, and I fell into a blissful deep sleep.
