Nico’s P.O.V: Check ups, 20 questions, and weird interactions
i walk by back will after talking to Percy and this is what I hear, “I told you, no underworldly stuff, doctors orders. You owe me at least three days of rest at the infirmary starting now.” Then he drags me off. As we walk up to it I immediately feel the sense of death. i can’t stay here, but it looks like I have no choice so I walk in anyway. Will walks me to the back of the infirmary and then pats the bed and says, “Sit down. I need to give you a check up.” So, I obediently sit down and he gives me the check up. “Do you have any other injuries I need to know about?” He says after the check up. “No.” I say and rub my side. Oh, Why did I do that? Uh, now he’s going to check there. “I know your lying. Take your shirt off and let me see your side.” I immediately feel my face getting red, but I do it anyway. “Were in hades did you get that?!” He yells. “Well, I kind of fought the first werewolf and got scratched.” I say nervously. Why am I nervous? Uh, please don’t tell me this is Percy all over again. No. No its not. It can’t be. “I’ll be back.” He says and walks off.
He comes back with a supplies for stitches, ambrosia, and bandages. “Eat.” He commands putting the ambrosia near my mouth. I take the ambrosia from his hand and put it in my mouth. “I need too get you new stitches,So this might hurt.” He says taking my old stitches that Reyna did out and putting new in. i have been through worse pain so, I didn’t even flinch. “Can you lift your arms up so I can put the bandages on please?” He asks and I obediently lift my arms up. I feel my face getting red again. Uh, why am I like this. I feel him put some cold thing on my side. then, he starts wrapping the bandages around my torso. The alarm went off for dinner. “Okay, I’m going to get you dinner. I will be right back. I just wait until he comes back with two plates of food. “You have to have an Apollo camper watching you at all times except when you have visitors so, I will eat here with you.” Will says calmly. I stair down at my plate. It is chicken nuggets, carrots, and French fries. “Eat.” He commands. I eat surprisingly quick. I didn’t realize how hungry I was. after we ate, will took the plates back and plops back right beside me.
“Sense I’m stuck here what do I do?” I ask Will. “What do you mean?” He says. “There is noting to do here.” I say. “How about a game?” he asks excitedly. “Okay, what game?” I ask him.“How about twenty questions?” He asks. “Okay. Where are you from?” I ask . “Texas. Um, where are you from?” He says. “Italy. Do you family outside of camp?” I say and he frowns. “Ya, a mother and a sister. do you have anyone out of camp?” He asks. “No, there dead.” I say sadly. “So, what do you do during your free time?” I ask changing the subject. “Um, I play guitar. What is your favorite food?” He says. “Promise not to laugh.” i say. “Promise.” He replies. “It’s a McDonalds happy meal. Whats your’s?” I say. “It would have to be fried chicken. Favorite game?” He asks. “Mythomagic. Favorite color?” I ask. “Um sunset orange. hum, what I did you tell Percy up there?” He asks and I immediately start getting red. “Uh, I told him… that I had a crush on him but now he’s not my type. Um, what is your um favorite game?” I say nervously. “Twister. What is your Sexuality?” He says and I barely whisper “Gay” under my breath, “What is your’s?” I say a little bit louder. “I’m into guys. We can go back to this game tomorrow it’s dark out, so get some sleep.” He says and sits on a couch across from me. I lay down and go to sleep.
Im in my father’s palace. Why am I here? “Hello son.” I hear behind me I turn around and he’s in his throne. “Why did you summoned me Father?” I say annoyed. “I needed to talk to you.” He says calmly. “What did you want to talk to me about?” I ask. “I heard that you are gay, is that true?” He asks. “Were you spying on me!” I scream. “No. I just heard from someone, But if it’s true I accept you.” He says. “I am and thank you father.” i say, more calm now. “Well, just so you know you need to tell your sister. She needs to know. I… I will tell Bianca. You can go back now.” He says and summons me back. I wake up and will is standing by me with a worried look on his face. “Oh My Gods, Nico I thought you where dead!” He yells and hugs me. I’ll let that slide.
