Will Solace was pissed. His patient kept disobeying his orders, always shadow traveling and out of the infirmary. This was the fifth time that he had done so.
Will was making his way back to his cabin when he noticed the very same patient in his thoughts. He seemed tired so Will approached him.
"Nico!" he called.
Said boy looked at him before promptly collapsing into his arms.
Will shook his head. This boy really is stubborn.
"You're spending tonight in the infirmary till I say you're deemed to go. Doctor's orders," he instructed.
Nico tried to protest but he's too tired to do so. Will dragged him into the infirmary, treated his current complaints then left.
After making sure Will had already left, Nico tried to leave, only to be stopped by two strong hands. Nico struggled but gave up and just looked at the blonde haired boy.
"I know you would do that," the son of Apollo said.
Nico just glared at him. "Why don't you just let me go?"
"It would be unhealthy for you," Will replied.
"But why do you even care?! You shouldn't care, no one ever does!" the son of Hades said, frustrated.
"Isn't it obvious?!" Will let go of him, allowing Nico to sit up. "I. Don't. Want. You. To. Leave. Cause I love you, Nico di Angelo! There, I said it."
Nico was shocked. He hadn't expected that.
Will wiped his eyes that were moistened with tears and turned to leave. Nico grabbed his hand and their eyes met, blue to black. Both 15-year-old demigods leaned towards each other till their noses touched.
"I love you too, Will Solace," the black haired boy finally said.
