Here is chapter 10, enjoy!

Nico

Today was the last check up with Will. I spend the morning with Jason and Percy because they wanted to have brunch together back in the apartment. Ever since Jason moved in, both serious late night talks and everyday silliness has increased. I need some time to myself, I'm on my way to Argo II to update them on when I'll come back to work. Even though I could call the bar but I need to leave the house for a while.

I walked into the bar, "Hey, Dakota." I greeted, he's the manager of the place. He looked up from his notebook.

"Hey, Nico. I thought you'd be back next week." He said.

"Yeah, I will I just wanted to know when next week." I asked.

He shrugged, "Whenever you can but you better be here on Thursday night. Ladies night can get really crazy." He said.

I just nodded. "Will do, I'll start next Monday." And I said my goodbyes and made my way out.

Now I'm walking to the hospital, Percy and Jason told me that we'd meet there and have dinner with Grover and Juniper. Then I walked pass a corner where a stoplight is, there's a Bakery on the other side road. I stared at the crossroad to the bakery across the road.

I started remembering that night all over again. The sirens and the blood. I traced my scar on my chest lightly. That was 11 years ago.

"Nico?" I looked up when I turned to my right. Annabeth was standing there with a male brunette that I don't recognize.

"Hey, Annabeth." I said.

"Nico, are you ok? you look kinda pale."

Fuck. Do I look awful right now? I just nodded, even though I'm feeling really uneasy right now. No one knows about what happen that night except the family.

She just nodded. "Oh, Nico this is my coworker Martin." She said introducing me to the male beside her.

He took his hand out and looked at me with blue eyes. I took his hand.

"Nico." I said to him.

"Anyway Nico where are you going?" Annabeth asked.

"I'm actually on my way to the hospital." I said.

"What? And he let you go by yourself. Unbelievable." She said.

"Annabeth, I wanted to go by myself. Plus with Jason also staying at the apartment it's quite noisy I needed to leave for a while." I said.

"Jason moved in with you guys." She said in a small voice. She didn't know, Percy was always the one to update her about these things. Piper and her talked a lot but Piper was never really the one to update her.

"Umm. I have to go or else I'll be late for the appointment." I said looking at the worn out Annabeth.

She just smiled, "See you Nico."

"See you." I waved goodbye and made my way to the hospital.

Will

It has been a really stressful week.

I walked into the room where Nico was, and all the stress suddenly decreased. I felt calmer, his fingers intertwined with each other he was looking down. He seems a little disturbed.

"Nico?" I asked.

His head shot up and our eyes locked. Nico eyes looked a little more distant then usual.

"Oh, hi Will." He said with no facial expression.

"Ok, umm would you take off your shirt…"

Check up was fast and a little awkward.

"So Nico you're fine now. Just eat properly and if you feel uneasy don't go and ride your bike." I said to him.

He just nodded. Usually he would have a reply ready.

I sat down in front of him. "Nico are you ok? You seem out of it today."

"I'm fine. Just a little tired." He said bitterly.

It hurt me a little, I just nodded and turned around to write on his records.

"I'm sorry." He said in a faint voice. I turned around and he ran his fingers through his hair. Shit, he's so attractive when he did that.

"I'm just feeling under the weather today." He said looking down, I walked up to him.

"Nico, it's ok. I was just worried, you weren't quite like yourself today." I said.

He looked up at me and looked into my eyes.

"You're worried?" his brown eyes shining.

I smiled "Of course I'm worried about you. After all you're an angel."

He just scoffed, "I get it my last name is Angelo." Then he blushed.

I couldn't stop smiling at that point he was just too cute. Butterflies in my stomach are going crazy. I suddenly wasn't thinking and I caressed his cheek. His eyes widen and turned to look at me. His eyes showed a little uneasiness but also showed comfort.

I just smiled at him for a moment it was like we were in our own world.

"Will?" he said. Putting his hand on mine, which was on his face. The way his cool hand was cooling my warm hand was perfect.

"Sorry." I said and retreated my hand, my face heating up.

Then Nico started laughing. "It was fine. I'm just not used to people touching my face that's all." He said a little too shyly.

"When was the last time?" I asked.

Then his smile disappeared. It seems like it's a tender memory. I immediately regretted asking, the moment was just fine but now because of my stupid need to know him I ruined it.

"I'm sorry. I don't mean to pry, I'm just your doctor." I said, chuckling it off.

"No, it's alright. I mean we are friends too right?" He said.

I smiled "Of course we're friends."

He showed me a small smile. "I just had to make sure, I'm not really good with people." He said.

I smirked "I can tell."

He looked at me annoyed and gently pushed me. "Shut up." But his face had a smile.

"The last time someone actually touch my face was 11 years ago." He said.

"Really?" he just nodded, not saying anything else.

I'm itching to know why, itching to know him. Right that moment, I had to make a decision, do I initiate a relationship or not? Michael's words circling through my head.

"Will?" Nico snapped me out of my own head.

"I'm fine. Just thinking." I said. "It's been a stressful week."

He nodded. There was a knock on the door.

"Come in." I said, and Holly peeked her head in.

"Dr. Solace we couldn't reach you. It's about Kayla." She said.

"Oh, I forgot my pager at home. I'll be right out." She nodded at closed the door.

I turned to Will. He gave me a smile. "I'll see you around." He said.

I just nodded, "I guess so." With a smile, feeling sad but I remind myself that this isn't goodbye. But I won't have anything to look forward to in the week anymore. We walked out of the room together.

We turned to look at each other, "I…" "So…" we said at the same time, we laughed about it. This was really nerve-racking.

"Umm you go first." He said.

I shook my head, "You first."

He just smirked. His eyes staring into my eyes, I swear those brown eyes are all I need to take the stress away. Before he could say anything a voice disturbed us.

"Percy are you kidding me." It was Jason.

"No, I mean it Jason. We are on a break it's what we need." Percy answered

"Perce, a break is for people in relationships and they need time to think. You and Annabeth are not in a relationship and what is there to think about."

"I…umm." Percy hesitating.

"See, don't think about it. Just pluck up the courage and confess your love to her or someone else will."

"I… wait who will?"

"Umm… look it's Nico and Will." Jason walked a little faster towards us.

"Hey, Will." "Jason you're here." I said.

"Yeah, I moved in with Nico and Percy a few days ago." He said.

Nico just nodded. "Wait you know someone that will ask Annabeth out?" Nico whispered.

Jason looked around, Percy was still standing where they were thinking about it.

Jason nodded, "Yesterday when I was walking pass Annabeth's office I overheard some brunette guy name Mark or Murry."

"Martin." Nico said. "Yeah, Martin. How did you know?" Jason asked.

"I bumped into them together when I was on my way here."

"tsk…tsk…" I just know this would crush Percy's self-esteem.

"He already asked her out." We heard a voice said, we turned around to see Percy standing behind Jason.

"Percy, I'm sorry I didn't tell you about it." Jason said.

Percy suddenly shook off his gloomy expression on his face and put on a goofy smile. "It's ok, I mean it's not like we were anything but best friends." He said in a very unconvincing tone.

"Percy I mean…" Before I could continue my sentence. Someone tugged my coat, I turned around and saw Kayla. "Kayla?"

"Will, Holly is getting annoyed." She said. Then she saw Nico, Percy and Jason, and then hid behind my back.

I chuckled, "Kayla it's ok, these are my friends. That one is Percy," Percy gave her a big goofy smile, "and that one is Jason," Jason gave her a warm smile, "and that one is Nico." Nico gave her a gentle smile.

Nico

I smiled at the little girl, which must be Will's other patient. It reminded me of myself, back when I was a kid always hiding behind Bianca's back.

She slowly walked out of Will's shadow, and with a faint voice "Hi." She said.

Percy approached her and squatted to match her height, "Hi Kayla how old are you?" he asked her.

"I'm 9 years old, how about you?" Kayla said looking at Percy.

Percy just kept smiling "I'm 26."

"You're old." Kayla said giggling.

"I am aren't I?" Percy chuckled.

"Alright, come on Kayla. If Holly finds out you're missing, she'll kill both of us." Will said.

Kayla nodded and put out her hand, Will took her hand.

"I'll see you guys soon." He said to us.

"See you, Will." Jason said. Percy just waved.

Will gave a smile and looked at me. I smiled at him, I watched him walk away with Kayla, and he turned back around and looked at me. "Bye Nico." He mouthed out.

I smiled and waved. The goodbye was almost bittersweet, but I know this won't be the last time I'll see him, those gorgeous blue eyes.

So in case you're curious they are mostly in their mid 20s so yah. Hope you enjoyed reading. :)
