Author's Notes : Sorry for the super long delay. I wrote all of the chapter before THRICE, (apparently thrice is an actual word) but I somehow managed to accidentally delete it. The third time, I posted it for a bit, but I then I accidentally got rid of it, so I decided to improve it a bit and remove the excess cringe. Oh yeah, I just recently finished the Divergent trilogy, and my mind is now wanting to write in first person and in present tense.. Anyway, sorry if it does seem a bit rush or lacking in detail, because as I mentioned before, this is the fourth time I wrote this.

Disclaimer : I don't own anything, Rick Riordan does! Oh yeah, I also don't own the Bubble Guppies reference, Bubble Guppies does.

Nico and Will were relaxing near the strawberry fields on a nice day. The sky was azure blue with fluffy clouds, and warm gentle breezes were carrying the sweet scent of strawberries. Nico looked quite tired, as his eyes were half closed, and his head was starting to lean towards the slightly older demigod. Soon enough, the son of Hades was sound asleep, with his head on Will's lap, although Will didn't seem to mind. It was like this for an hour, until Nico heard a persistent voice saying his name over and over.

His eyes fluttered open to see the blue eyes of Will Solace's face inches away from his. Naturally, like all people with dignity, Nico hollered, "Ah! What are you doing Solace?" while blushing heavily.

"I'm a doctor." he answered, as if that explained everything. Nico rolled his eyes. Moreover, he was thinking about the dream about him and Will by the strawberry fields. It was a pleasant dream, which was a very rare occurrence, considering the fact that he was a demigod. Oh wait.. Did Nico just actually think that a dream of him outside sleeping on Will was.. pleasant? Thankfully this whole thought only took about half a second to think.

"Well. That explains a lot." Nico said, his tone etched with sarcasm.

"Hey! I was just making sure everything was all good." Will's voice was defensive in a playful way. "Anyway, how's that arm?"

"Oh this?" Nico said, jabbing his arm, "It's fine." It was not fine, and Will could probably tell, since when he poked it to point to it, he winced; but he knew saying that was going to extend his time there. His consciousness, for some reason, was guilty for lying.

After a few seconds of Will holding in his breath, he exhaled, raised his eyebrows, crossed his arms, and shook his head, like, what am I going to do with you? Then he said, "Nico, if you're going to lie, at least do it convincingly.. Honestly, how dense do you think I am?"

"Very.." he murmured. Will rolled his eyes.

"Insulting your doctor isn't a very good idea."

"What can you do wrong without getting called out by Chiron?"

"Well, I think Chiron would praise me, let alone call me out, if I, I dunno, made you stay here longer, spoon-feed you stuff that I personally cooked, give yo-"

"Okay okay. I get it." Nico grumbled. He didn't want Will to get any more ideas. Will smiled.

"I'm going to check on that wound by the way. The mint colored salve was for the infection; made it myself. Also, prepare yourself; what I'm going to do next might hurt a bit."

Nico opened his mouth to ask what the healer was going to do, but decided that he'd rather not know. Will was turned around to get some things anyway, so he didn't see that expression. Then after a few silent moments, he turned around to face Nico.

In his hands were a pair of long silver medical scissors. Actually, Nico wasn't sure if it was silver, but he found this ironic considering that his arm injuries were given by Lycaon, the first werewolf, and silver was deadly to them.

Anyway, Will then got on one knee, so he was eye-leveled with Nico. He then placed the scissors on the bed, and took off the bandages on Nico's arm. The injury didn't look infected whatsoever to Nico. Will probably overreacted the first time he saw the cuts.

"That looks much better."

"It looks the exact same as last time."

"No it doesn't. It looks way better."

"Whatever you say. But you do realize that Reyna already stitched it up, right?"

"Oh yeah! That's what I was going to do; I was going to get rid of those!" he said, as he grabbed the scissors that were on the bed. "Okie dokie. This is going to hurt." was the last thing he said before he used the scissors.

Nico instinctively closed his eyes, and felt the sharp sensation. He winced. The next time though, he was prepared, and didn't make any noise of pain or discomfort. Within a few minutes, Will was finished.

"Done!" Will exclaimed happily. "Gotta admit though, I'm impressed that you didn't scream or anything. Last time I did this, the patient said some very unflattering things."

"I've gone through worst." he grumbled quietly. Then, a little louder, he asked, "Actually, what time is it?"

"It's time for lunch!" said Will instinctively. Then he slapped his forehead, and said, "Sorry.. My younger siblings really enjoy Bubble Guppies, and.. It's about nine forty-five."

Nico was confused. The last time he was awake, it was one P.M. Did that mean.. "I've been asleep for 20 hours?"

"Uh.. Yeah."

The son of Hades sighed. He was unhappy with this. He had secretly hoped that he'd be conscious for a while, since that meant that instead of dreaming of being with Will, he'd actually be with Will. He'd have to make do with it. At least then he knew why he was so starved. "Well, Will, I remember you saying that you'd get me food..?"

Will had completely forgotten about that. To his defense though, he hadn't thought that Nico would have slept until the next day. His head was also occupied by the debating of his two different sides of his mind that morning; one telling him to try to surprise Nico by being there when he woke up, the other scolding Will that Nico wouldn't have liked to wake up with a giddy doctor staring down at him. Still, he felt very guilty.

"Oh my gods, I'm sorry. I'll get some right away!" He jogged out of the infirmary, neglecting to ask what Nico wanted. This proved to be a problem, since he wanted to present Nico with the best breakfast possible. Oh well.

Done! Okay, since I practically have nothing that I need to do, and since I have plenty of time, I'm going to produce fanfiction chapters like it grows on trees. (and I have to make up chapters that I didn't do the previous weeks anyway)

I almost forgot! Please, pretty please with sprinkles on top, leave a review! They tell me if I'm doing good, if I'm not, if I should add something, etc. Thanks!
