Beginning Notes

sunshine_deathboy (ao3): We get a lot of Nico sick fics but a few of Will's and I'm craving for Will sick fics sooo... What if Will Solace gets sick and he doesn't want to let anyone except for Nico to take care of him?

Hell yes I love that. So this is also going to be my first go at a sickfic type of thing, so let me know if you guys like it! Anyways, characters belong to uncle Rick, and I hope you all enjoy.

Nico's POV

'Will, are you sure you're not sick?' I asked my boyfriend after he sneezed for the tenth time that morning.

'I'm not sick!' he answered stubbornly, and I shook my head.

'Then why are you sneezing so much, huh?'

He shrugged. 'Probably just allergies.'

I couldn't help but roll my eyes. It was always like this; for some reason Will insisted that he couldn't get sick, because he was a doctor. Because if he was sick, how was he supposed to be able to take care of his patients? I found it a stupid reason, but since he only seemed to have a slight cold, I let it slide.

However, a few days later when I went to help him in the infirmary, he wasn't there like usual.

I frowned, but before I could even open my mouth and ask where he was, Kayla told me he was still in bed.

'That's weird...' I muttered. He usually gets up at the crack of dawn to start up everything in the infirmary, so why would he still be in bed at ten thirty in the morning?

Kayla sighed. 'You know how he gets when he's sick.'

I nodded. 'He always insists he either isn't sick, or that it's but a simple cold, and that he won't die from it.'

'Exactly. But you know how a lot of campers have been catching the flu this winter?'

'You mean that Will has it now?'

'Mhm,' she hummed, as she started cutting some bandages.

I shook my head. 'Let me guess, he's in bed sick as hell, but won't admit that he is?'

'Spot on.'

'What are we going to do with him,' I said, shaking my head. That idiot would freak out as soon as I get a little papercut, but when he's so sick he can't even get out of bed it's but a cold.

I decided to help Kayla out with cutting the bandages, since that's what I'd come to do in the first place. A comfortable silence fell between us, as we worked, but when we were done, Kayla said:

'Hey, maybe he'll let you take care of him.'

'What?'

A small smile formed on her face. 'Well, you're his boyfriend, and I know for a fact that he has a soft spot for you,' she explained with a shrug.

'I- I guess I could try,' I said, feeling my cheeks grow warm at the thought of Will having a soft spot for me.

I got up and told Kayla I would go see him after lunch, and then made my way to the Dining Pavilion. I had a quick lunch and got some chicken soup to bring to Will.

When I got to the Apollo cabin I quietly knocked on the door, but when no one answered I decided to let myself in.

'Will?' I asked, as I made my way over to his bed. He mumbled something that sounded like 'go away' and I shook my head. I'd definitely seen that coming. 'I brought you some soup, and you better eat it, because you're sick and this will help.'

'For the last time, I'm. Not. Sick.'

I sat down on the edge of is bed and told him that, 'yes, you are.'

'Oh, hi Neeks. I'm sorry, I thought you were one of my siblings. They've been nagging me all day.'

'Yeah, because you're sick and they want to make sure you're okay.'

Will carefully sat up and huffed. 'But I'm fine.'

'No, you're not.'

He crossed his arms and glared at me as if that would do something. As if he'd ever be able to out-glare me.

'Nice try, Will, but you literally look like trash,' I said, and reached over to feel his temperature. 'And you're burning up, so yes, you are sick, you idiot.'

He coughed and laid back down dramatically. 'Fine, I'm sick. But it's so stupid, I should be the one taking care of people, not being the one taken care of!'

I sighed, but a small wave of relief washed over me. Maybe Will did really have a soft spot for me. From what I'd heard, he wouldn't even admit to Kayla that he was sick, and I'd managed to make him admit it within a minute.

'Now, eat the soup before it gets cold. It'll help,' I said, and held the soup out to him, as he sat up yet again.

'Hey, Nico?' he asked.

'Hm?'

Instead of asking me a question or telling me whatever he was going to say, Will just grinned at me with this stupid grin and I kind of got the urge to throw the soup over his head if only it weren't so hot.

'What?' I asked, confused as to why he wouldn't just tell me, but had to look at me with that dumb grin, thinking I'd get what he meant with that.

'Will you feed me? Please?'

I frowned. 'Can't you do that yourself? Come on, Will, last I checked I wasn't your mother.'

'But I'm sick, remember,' he said, pouting.

'I swear, first you won't even admit that you're sick as hell, and now you want me to feed you because of it. You're such a weirdo.'

'But I'm your weirdo,' he said, and even had the audacity to wink at me.

I almost physically gagged, and said: 'Ew, Will, that's so cheesy.'

'I know,' he simply answered with a menacing smile. 'But are you going to feed me or what?'

Sighing, I gave in to him and his annoyingly adorable pout, and held a spoonful of soup out to him to eat. If this would make him eat the damn soup and get better, then so be it. After he finished it, I told him to go back to sleep.

'Will you tuck me in?' he asked.

I rolled my eyes at him, but couldn't stop the smile that was forming on my face. 'Yes, yes, fine.'

He laid down again, his fluffy hair sprawled across the pillow, and I made sure that the blankets covered him properly so he wouldn't get cold. Then for good measures I gave him a kiss on the cheek too.

'Now, go to sleep, you idiot, or else you won't get better.'

'Thanks, Nico. I love you.'

'Love you too.'

And as I walked out of the Apollo cabin, I realised that perhaps Will wasn't the only one with a soft spot.
