Will was looking for Nico. He usually was either with Will, the Hades cabin, or with Mrs. O' Leary, yet he wasn't in any of these places. Will wasn't horrible worried; once Nico had gotten called to Hades' Throne Room without warning and he simply vanished. Will decided one last look into the Hades cabin wouldn't hurt. On the steps he heard something inside, a sort of sniffling.

"Nico?" Will said softly, opening the door slowly. He stepped inside and closed the door. He spotted a Nico-shaped lump on a bed. Will walked over and sat on the bed. "Neeks?"

He didn't answer. He Just sniffed and shifted a little.

Okay, what the literal Hades is going on here? Will thought. "Nico?" Will lifted a corner of the blanket. Nico was laying there, curled into a ball. Will laughed softly. "What are you doing under there?"

"Dying." Came the muffled reply.

"Aren't you being dramatic?"

Nico sniffed. "No."

"Why are you dying?"

Nico coughed. "I think I'm sick."

"Well maybe if you lay on your bed properly I could check."

Nico groaned, but complied. His pale skin contrasted drastically with the black sheets. There had been a fever outbreak lately, nothing serious, and it looked like Nico had caught it.

"It's just the fever that's been going around, you'll be fine." Will said.

"I'm dying." Nico complained, stretching out the word. Will rolled his eyes. "Will," Nico whined.

"You aren't dying. It'll be gone in a couple of days. Maybe less if you come to the infirmary."

"You can't cure death," Nico groaned, "I'd know."

"You can prevent death though. Come on." Will said, offering a hand to help Nico. He grabbed it and allowed himself to be pulled up. "I can't just do all the work, Nico." Will complained.

"You usually do anyway." Nico said, but leaned on Will and allowed himself to be lead to the infirmiry.
