"Nico, get back on the bed." Will said sternly, pointing an accusing finger at his boyfriend.

Nico sighed, swinging his legs off the infirmary bed, "Will, there are other people in here that need to be looked after."

Will raised his eyebrows, "And you don't need to be looked after? Last time I checked, you had a stab wound through your side. I think that needs to be looked after."

Nico tried to stand up, his legs giving out immediately and he fell back onto the bed, wincing as he jolted his side.

"Ah ha ha, no." Will said, pushing Nico back into a lying position. Nico winced, even as he lay down carefully.

"It's fine." He carried on, like he hadn't failed. "Just give me some ambrosia or something."

Will forcefully exhaled, and walked away from Nico, who looked after at him, confused.

Had Will given in? Even if he hadn't, Nico could try again while his back was turned.

"Reyna!" Will called, and Nico looked up in shock. Was Will going to do what he thought he was going to do?

Reyna walked into the infirmary, her purple cape flowing behind her. She looked at Will, who had his arms crossed in exasperation to Nico who was still weakly turning to push himself into an upright position.

"What-? Actually, never mind. What do you need?" She asked, and Will turned back to Nico with a smug look on his face.

Nico lay down, knowing already that he'd lost.

"Sit on his legs, please, so I can sort his side out." Will instructed, and Reyna walked over to Nico, smirking.

"Got yourself injured again?" She asked and Will walked up behind her, armed with a bandage and nectar.

Nico glared at her, with no real venom in his gaze. "Lemme guess, you got three scratches and nothing else?"

Reyna sat on the bed, shifting herself backwards until she was sitting on Nico's legs. Nico knew there would be no way to get out from under Reyna, so he didn't bother trying, focusing his energy into complaining. Will pulled Nico's T-Shirt up and tutted at the still-bleeding wound.

"Actually I got two." she replied and Will hid a smile.

"Ugh." Nico said, going to cross his arms but Will slapped his hands away from his chest, as he poured nectar over the wound.

Nico hissed and Will gave him an apologetic look as he carefully bandaged the cut, gently patting it when he finished.

"Okay, don't move for at least two hours." Nico stared at Will, like he thought he was joking, until he saw his boyfriend's utterly serious look.

He groaned and stretched his arms, scowling as Reyna laughed.

"Do you want me to stay here with him?" She asked Will and Nico made another protesting noise.

Will gave Reyna a thankful look and a twitch of a smile, "Yeah, if you could." Reyna nodded.

"Could you at least get my Myth-O-Magic cards so I don't die of boredom?" Nico complained and Reyna leaned forward, poking Nico in the chest.

"Are you saying I'm boring?" While Nico and Reyna lapsed into playful arguing, Will got hold of Percy who was fussing over Jason who'd also been hurt in the fight but not seriously.

"Could you grab Nico's Myth-O-Magic cards from his cabin? He won't stop complaining." He smiled and Percy nodded happily.

"He's such a nerd," Was his parting remark, leaving Will grinning.

A few minutes later, he handed a pack to Will who passed them onto Nico and Reyna, who accepted the cards. Nico punched the air, wincing immediately.

"I may be injured, but I can still beat your ass." He told Reyna, who just laughed.

Yes, have two chapters of this, because I feel bad for not updating in ages.

Have a great day/night/week!

Fez.
