Set after Nico wakes up from the pain induced sleep in the previous chapter.
Nico started at the already memorised ceiling. It was the start of the third day of his 'prison sentence'. If it hadn't been banned by Will, he would have shadow travelled straight out of there. On the topic of Will, Nico was having an internal conflict.
He didn't want to get burned the same way as he had with Percy, but something told him that this was different. Will seemed to at least act a little weirdly around Nico, but maybe he was just projecting. He was sure he'd seen him blushing earlier though.
Maybe he should just ask for Will to come in to help him and see what happened. But then he'd have to give up on his 'only communicating in grunts' thing. Oh well, that was never going to last anyway.
"Hello?" Nico called out, surprised at how scratchy his voice was. When there was no response he coughed and called out again, louder this time.
The person who opened the door was not Will, rather one of his equally as sunny siblings. Great, Nico thought, just my luck.
When the Apollo demigod saw the look on Nico's face he immediately realized his mistake.
"Will" He shouted, deliberately making his voice loud, jokingly and winking at Nico, "Your favourite patient is asking for you."
This caused Nico to blush. A lot.
What could this mean? Had Will been talking about him to his siblings? Or was it just normal joking around? All these raced through Nico's head in the split second it took Will to appear. leaning against the doorframe as if that was the very reason he was created.
"Hello, favourite patient" Will said, smiling his trademark smile. This made Nico blush even more and get just a little bit more annoyed with both himself and everyone around him.
"I bet you say that to all the pretty girls that come in here" Nico said, doing a very bad impression of a Texan woman.
"Oh, my gods! It speaks!" Will said, pretending to have made a discovery equivalent to that of Einstein. "I'm discounting yesterday's fiasco, as entertaining as it was."
"Oh no" Nico said, the memory slowly coming back to him, "What did I say Will? Oh Gods. How bad?"
Will just laughed to himself.
"William Solace I swear to gods!"
Will leaned in a little too close for Nico's comfort and whispered, almost seductively "It's good to know that begging turns you on." With an evil grin, he stood up straight and resumed his serious doctor act. But every time he touched Nico to take his pulse or check on healing scars, the bolt of electricity was back and stronger than ever. Every now and then, when Nico would squirm under his touch, a faint smile could be seen on Will's face.
As he was walking to the door to leave, he turned back to Nico and said "I'll see you later Death Boy" then walked out the door.
Nico's entire face was bright red and he was very glad there wasn't a heart rate monitor in the room.
Le End. Sorry this one's a bit shorter. I really wanted Will to be super flirty and Nico to still be completely oblivious and doubtful, but I also love the headcannon that Nico loses all his inhibitions when he's almost asleep.
In case your confused, Will stood up after whispering to Nico because he wanted to see him blush even more and because he was kinda making fun of him. But in a nice way. I have a weird sense of humour, sorry.
