2. Chapter 2 Body Shy

Chapter Two

Will's POV:

I had originally planned to be sleeping in the infirmary with Nico, but I didn't have the nerve to say so. I blew it.

I like Nico. There. I said it. Happy? But I can never tell Nico that I like him. I'm not suicidal. If Nico found out somebody liked him, I don't know what he would do, but it wouldn't be good. I've seen Nico deny people when they tease him for having a crush, or someone having a crush on him. Actually that last part is a lie. I don't think anyone else has ever even had a crush on him. I don't think anyone else sees him as he really is. Alive. Just because he's the son of Hades doesn't make him dead. Gods, I sound like Belle from OUAT. "I see the good in you, Rumple".

I wanted not only to protect Nico (and everyone else I guess) from his problem, but to solve it, too. That's why I made my way to the Hypnos cabin, after everyone in it was asleep (that would be six PM) to meet Clovis.

"No," Clovis said "I'm not doing that. No way."

After I threatened Clovis to tell Chiron about his secret stash of sleeping drugs (Stoll brothers, 5 drachmas a pill) he followed me to the infirmary.

I opened the door. Then immediately closed it back. I should've knocked. I should've knocked. I should've knocked.

Nico was getting into his pajamas. He wasn't wearing anything except for his boxers. Thank the gods. I don't think he noticed me.

I knocked.

"Come in"

I carefully opened the door. His shirt looked like it was put on hastily, and carelessly. Maybe he was body shy.

"I brought Clovis," I said as I walked in. "I can see that," said Nico "but why?" "He wants me to enter your dreams and interpret them," Clovis said.

Nico gave me a look of pure horror.

"I don't think that's a good idea," he said. "Nico has spoken ok lets go I'm going ok bye," Clovis said at a fast pace and started quickly creeping towards the door.

"hold it," I said sternly "you're not going anywhere." Clovis, halfway to the door, stopped. He slumped his shoulders and walked back to us sluggishly. He looked really nervous. I felt sorry for him. But, priorities.

I realized this was my last chance to subliminally sleep in the infirmary with Nico.

"OK night guys," I said. I climbed into one of the bunks in my jeans and CHB tee and covered myself in the blankets.

"what are you doing?" Nico asked nervously. "Ummm, I'm going to bed," I answered bluntly.

Nico looked horror stricken again.

"Ummm, I don't like sharing rooms with people," he said. "What about me?" Clovis asked. This time it was Nico's turn to be blunt. "you're necessary" "Umm, cool," Clovis said.

My heart sank into the deepest depths of whatever the metaphor is.

"Oh, ok," I said "I'll just go then" and I hurried out.
