Nico was on his way to Will Solace, the head counselor of the Apollo cabin. Over the past few weeks, he and Will had built up an strange friendship. Their friendship mostly contained of Nico somehow ending up in the infirmary and Will giving him some "Doctor's Orders". Nico swore, that this was his favorite quote. Lately he felt very strange around Will. It was like his stomach was playing with him and he didn't really felt comfortable around him. And somehow Nico noticed, how great his body was. And how shiny his blond hair was.

Do I have a crush on him? Nico thought. After a few minutes he arrived at the Apollo cabin. As he went in, he saw a few kids, most of them younger then him, lying on a bed while the Apollo kids were checking on them. One of them was Will Solace who was checking on a small girl with black hairs and a dark skin. It looked like her leg was broken. Nico guessed that she was around 9 years old. She reminded her of a younger version of his half-sister Hazel. Will turned to see who their new guest was and then smiled as he saw Nico.

"Death Boy, you're here. I was already waiting for you."

Nico groaned at the mention of his new nickname. "Don't call me Death Boy, Sunshine." He looked at the girl at his side. "Who's this?" Nico asked.

"Oh, this is Brianna, daughter of Demeter. She was injured during a climbing training. She's for the moment under my care. Brianna, this is Nico. He is a good friend of mine." Will said.

Brianna smiled at Nico. It was weird for that little children were smiling at him. A few month ago, they would have been terrified by him. A lot of things changed after the war. For the better. Nico smiled as he thought about that.

"Hey, it's nice to meet you." Nico said unsure how to start a conversation. He was always anti-social and some of his old habits haven't died yet.

"You're a child of Hades, right?" Brianna asked with her small voice.

Nico rubbed his neck. He was unsure how she would react, if he told her he was. "Yeah…yeah, I am."

Brianna grinned at Nico to his surprise. "Cool, finally I meet someone from the Hades cabin. Your dad has so cool powers. His mythomagic card is really strong." Brianna said enthusiastic.

Nico's eyes widened at the mention of his favorite card game. "You play mythomagic?"

"Yeah, you do too?" Brianna's eyes sparkled with excitement. Nico nodded.

"You are a child of Hades and you play mythomagic?" the girl asked full of excitement while staring at Nico. "You're my new favorite person." Brianna smiled at Nico which he responded. He already liked that girl although he just met her.

"Hey, I thought I was your favorite person." Will said pouting.

"Sorry Will, but Nico here is just cooler than you." Brianna said with her small voice.

Nico smirked at Will. "Yeah listen to her. I'm way cooler than you, doctor Solace."

Will rolled his eyes. "Whatever." He grabbed Nico at his arm. "You and I need to talk in private." He turned to his sister Kayla. "Kayla, could you please take care of Brianna while I'm away with Death boy?" He asked her. Kayla nodded. And with that he took Nico with him.

"Hey!" Nico protested as he tried to break out of Will's grab. He turned to Brianna giving her a small goodbye wink, which she responded while she was looking confused at the two older boys. Will took Nico outside of the Apollo cabin, where the two of them were alone. Outside Will let go of Nico. He smiled at him.

"So Death Boy, did you follow the instructions I gave you?" Will asked him.

Nico rolled his eyes. He said that in such a doctor manner, which was typical for him. "Yes, I haven't shadow-travelled this week. I was a good boy, so no need to overreact or something like that." He said looking at Will annoyed.

"Hey, no need to give me that look. I'm just looking after you alright." Will said.

"What are you, my bodyguard? I can take care of myself." Nico said as he now looked at Will's eyes. His soft blue eyes were staring at him and Nico's body was responding weirdly.

"I know you can, but you still aren't a hundred percent healthy, so you must listen to me. Doctor's…"

"Orders." Nico interrupted him as he smirked seeing the lightly shocked Face of the blond boy. "You know, I already have memorized your favorite quote already. It was pretty obvious that you would say that."

"Well, at least my quote sounds awesome. Your quote would be something like over my dead body or death aware or dead is cool or…"

"Okay, okay, I get it, alright. All my supposed quotes have something to do with dead." Nico rolled his eyes. "Seriously, you got nothing else than that.?"

Will grinned at him with his sunny face. "Nope. You pretty much symbolize the dead and darkness. I think these quotes would match perfectly to you."

Nico sighed. "You're almost as bad as Percy and Jason."

Will looked at him confuse. "What did they do?"

Nico thought for a moment if he really wanted to tell him this, but then decided that there will be no harm if he told him this. "Oh I just met them a few minutes ago. They were having their usual bro contest. This time a staring contest. Don't ask me why they do it. They are just two little children trapped in an adolescence body." Nico quickly added as he saw the confused look on Will's face. "Well and I made the mistake showing up. They saw me and gave me a bear hug which I couldn't escape and then they prattled something about not seeing each other again in future or other nonsense."

"So, to put it in a nutshell, they were just being two immature boys." Will said while grinning at Nico. It was obviously that he found this whole story very amusing.

"Yes, exactly that."

Will continued to grin at him. "Well, I don't blame them for hugging you. You're just too cute, Death Boy." He said while pinching Nico's left cheek.

Nico groaned. "Will…" he warned him, but he didn't listen to him.

"Aww, you're such a cute, little Italian emo, am I right?"

"I am not an emo, alright!" Nico cried in desperation. What was wrong with all those people today. A few month ago nobody wanted to come near at him and now almost everyone was touching him here and there, even declaring him as cute. The Ghost King was everything, but not cute.

"Oh, yes you are, you're just in denial." Will said as he finally let go of Nico's cheek. He got closer to Nico. Nico got nervous, he wasn't sure what Will was trying to do, but didn't know if he should like it or not.

"What…what are you doing?" Nico stuttered.

Will smirked at him. "Oh, don't you like this? I just wanna be near too you." Will said in his most seducing voice. Nico began to sweat as he come nearer. Was this going to be his first kiss? Will approached him more for a few seconds, then suddenly he burst out into a laughter.

"Hahaha, you should have seen your face." he said while clutching his stomach.

Nico was glaring at him. He didn't thought that this was funny. "That was not funny!"

Will stopped laughing, but he still chuckled. "Sorry Nico, but I just wanted to see your reaction if I do that."

Nico raised his eyebrows. "And why would you do that?"

Will grinned at him. "Just for fun I guess. You always complained to me that I should come out more of my doctor duties, so I decided to have some little fun."

Nico's face flushed red. He didn't wanted to say to Nico how attracted he was to him in that moment. So decided to change a little bit the topic. "You should better do that to your girlfrend or so. I think she would be glad by it."

Will was somehow still grinning at him. Seriously, couldn't that guy be more gloomy like him. I guess that is Apollo's trait or something like that.

"Oh, I don't have a girlfriend." he stated.

Nico blushed a little bit. "Oh, I'm sorry. Didn't know you were single."

Will winked off. "Nah, it's okay. I generally don't have an interest in girls."

Nico widened his eyes in surprise at his statement. He just said to him, that he didn't like girls in general like it was nothing. Could it be?

"Oh…so…so you're gay?" Nico asked carefully.

Will was still grinning at him. Honestly it was becoming a little bit creepy, but that grin still made Nico's body reacting funnily.

"Yup, I'm gay through and through." Will said it like he was stating how the weather was.

"Oh…" Nico's face flushed a little bit red after hearing that. He was unsure what too say. Should he say that he was gay too? He decided that Will deserved to know it after he revealed him such a big secret.

"Oh, that's cool. I'm gay too, you know." Now it was Will's time to widen his eyes in surprise. He looked at him in mild shock, but he quickly recovered from it and then grinned at Nico again.

"So that makes two of us, right?"

Nico rubbed his neck nervously. "Yeah, I guess so."

Suddenly both of them heard two voices behind them arguing between each other. "Hey give me the binoculars. It's my turn."

"No way, it's just the best phase. I think they're going to get together now."

Both of Nico's and Will's face flushed as they heard this sentence. The two voices continued to argue.

"That's exactly why I want to see it."

"No way, I'm the founder of this club. I get to see it."

"Give it too me, Sparky."

"Never fish boy."

"Lightning freak."

"Seaweed brain."

Nico facepalmed as he heard those two voices. He knew exactly who they were. He mentioned Will to come with him to the bushes where the two voices came from. Then he looked over the bushes to see Jason and Percy in a ring fight. He coughed. Jason and Percy immediately stopped their fight and turned to see an angry looking Nico and a nervous Will looking at them. They gulped.

"Hey…hey Nico, Will." Percy stuttered.

"What are you two doing here?" Nico said threatening with a deadly voice.

Jason and Percy shifted uncomfortably. "Well you see, we were just watching the beautiful landscape." Jason stated.

"Yeah." Percy said. "It's not like we're spying at you two or something." he said while laughing awkwardly, while Jason beside him facepalmed at Percy's stupidness.

Nico was fuming inside. How dare they spy on them. That was it. They are gonna be in the infirmary for a long time. Nico turned to Will. "Will could you make sure, there are two more beds extra in the infirmary. Two people are gonna to land there for a long time." he said giving them a death glare.

Will rubbed nervously his neck. "Um…okay, I guess."

"Good." Nico said. "Now to you two."

Jason and Percy stared at each other in horror. Then they started to run off with Nico chasing after him sending skeletons, zombies and shadows after them and crying: "GET BACK HERE, YOU MANIACS!"

A lot of demi-gods were watching interestingly that event. It was not everyday that a son of Poseidon and Jupiter were running away from a son of Hades while he was throwing curses after them. Lets just say that Jason and Percy would be in of the infirmary for the next few days.
