The Sun and Moon

The Infirmary

Will's PoV

I freaked out when I saw Nico's bed empty! Where could he go?! And why would he go he's probably fainted from exhaustion somewhere ugh that kid is annoying couldn't he just stay still for a few days!? Did he have to annoy the living daylights out of everyone. Looking after him would be quite a task maybe I could just chain him to the bed it would probably be easier than chasing him everywhere.

First things fist I had to find him and get him back here before he shadow travelled to god know where and killed himself. I ran heater-skelter till I finally found him in his cabin. I should've probably checked there first oops. He was talking in his sleep but I couldn't understand a word I think it was Italian, I didn't know he could speak that. I stared at him for a bit. He looked so peaceful in his sleep.

His face which was usually in a scowl has a small smile on it (A/N :cause he is dreaming of Bianca) his raven black hair was almost glowing, I wonder what he is dreaming of. I stood there for 10 minutes before realising that I should probably wake him up. I shook him gently and he shot awake saying "I'm ready Bianca." Then he saw me and looked disappointed when he realised he had been dreaming. Just my luck if he was dreaming about this Bianca girl they were definitely close I decided to ask Jason about her later.

Nico glared at me "What do u want so early in the morning?"

"It's noon Nico and I want to check on my patient!"

"I'm not your patient Solace I left that blasted infirmary."

"Well then I'm near to take you back I guess"

He crossed his arms over his chest and pouted "I don't wanna go back!"

"Listen hear Di Angelo you owe me three days in the infirmary you need to take more care of yourself and since your unwilling to I need to. If u don't come I'm gonna come to your cabin every five minutes to check on you like a little baby!" I shouted at him.

He looked at me, and I could see I scared him I wonder why all I did was shout a bit. Maybe he was faking it? He got up went to the bathroom and came out fully dressed he then opened the door and walked out without saying a word. I regained my senses and followed after him.

He looked weak and suddenly he stumbled and would've fallen on his face if I didn't catch him. He was running a high fever and he leaned on me exhausted come the effort it took to walk this short distance. I slowed my pace so he could lean on me and walk. I shocked that he made it to his cabin by himself earlier in the morning how did he make it without collapsing.

We reached the infirmary but it took longer because of our slow pace. While I was taking Nico into his room I ran into one of my favourite sisters, Rose. She looked at Nico and I could tell she knew he was sick, her face displayed shock and she said "Whats he doing here?"

"He's going to stay here for three days so I can check up on him." I said shocked by her question shouldn't she see he was ill?

"Do you think that's a good idea I mean, he is kinda like a death omen should actually keep him in the infirmary with sick people around him?"

Nico looked at the ground hurt displayed on his face like it was his fault he was the a Hades kid. I pushed past Rose and went to Nico's room with Nico trailing behind me. He got up onto the bed not saying a word the whole time. I hoped what Rose had said hadn't gone to his head, the infirmary was for sick people and he could always come when he was ill. I plugged an IV into him and checked his heart and did all the medical stuff I could think of. When I was about to leave he said something so softly that I couldn't hear it.

I turned back to him with a questioning gaze and he said "Your is right you know I shouldn't be here it's bad luck for the other patients." He looked so hurt when he said that i just wanted to hug him but he would probably just push me away so instead I told him not to think about it and get some rest.

Nico's PoV

Will looked so angry with that girl that I thought he would hit her instead he just pushed past her and I trailed behind him. All through the check up I couldn't stop thinking about what she said. She was right in a way. The Death-kid shouldn't be in the infirmary it's bad luck. So I told Will and first he looked shocked and then he just told me to forget it and get some sleep. I hated sleep. I loathed sleep I despised it! Every time I closed my eyes I was back in Tartarus, it seemed like it was useless to escape ,my mind would always be there.

My skin was burning every step I took burned me. The poisonous gas was filling my lungs, I was cut all over my body. I wanted to give up. Suddenly Percy was beside me telling me to give, to lie down and die. "It's hopeless Nico there's no one waiting for you up there. You're unwanted it's better you just die here." I was screamed at him I was shaking but not with anger with fear that what he said was true that no one really wanted me.

Nico! Nico!

I woke with a start covered in cold sweat and screaming my lungs out. Will was standing there staring at me ,with worry in his eyes? Why was he worried about me I was just a freak wasn't I? Then I realised I was still shaking. I tried to control it but I was to shaken up from my dream.

I didn't want to worry Will so I just pulled the blanket up to my chin and turned the other way so he wouldn't be able to see how much my nightmares affected me, I couldn't bear to lose the only friend I had for now. Will wasn't falling for it I could tell because he had worry peeling off him in ways so I focused on something else, the patients in the infirmary.

Suddenly I felt a jolt of pain run through me that could only mean one thing, someone was dying. Then I had an idea what if I told Will?

"Will, bed five" I croaked out my voice still not working well

"Huh"

Gods he was slow "Bed five needs you!" I half shouted half said.

He stared at me for a few seconds processing what I said then realisation dawned on him and he raced out without another word.

I was alone again I lay on my back and stared at the ceiling for a few min and then dozed off again, this time my nightmares were scattered scenes raving through my head and then disappearing again leaving me in confusion. Then I was near the sun, well at least it seemed like the sun. It was glowing and so warm and....shaking me awake?

It was Will not the sun, though there seemed to be no difference he was wearing his classic sunny smile and happiness was peeling of him in waves.

Wait, was he covered in blood? Yeah it was blood I looked at him and then took the trash can near me and promptly threw up hades knows what since I hadn't eaten at all yesterday. Immediately Will's happiness was gone replaced by worry Gods I was such a buzzkill

He scrambled to my side asking me question fifty miles an hour and rubbing my back. My entire body tingled with joy with the fact that he was making contact with me even if it was only his doctor side being worried.

"Slow down" I croaked my throat sore from vomiting.

He obliged but only for a minute before his excitement came back"How are you feeling? How did you know about that patient? What was your nightmare about? Are you hungry? You slept till lunch time and now I'm rambling so I'm gonna stop." He paused clearly out of breath while I tried my best to answer some of his questions.

"Yes I'm hungry and I really want a steak if you could get me one pretty please." I begged. He promptly obliged and got up to get me one, while he was gone I sat lost in my thoughts.

Should I tell Will that I used my powers or will he just be upset and kick me out, he probably wouldn't right? But he had specifically told me not to use any underworldly powers so he might be upset what if he didn't want to hang out with me anymore!? What if another one of his siblings would come look after me. I didn't want someone like that rude girl we met in the corridor.

If he doesn't want me I'll just leave camp I guess maybe move to dads palace I already have a room there
