– Will Solace was in the infirmary, organizing the stocks of medicinal herbs and thinking about the number of demigods who came and went after dangerous missions. He knew that things in the camp never stayed quiet for long, but today, the concern he felt was different. You had been away on a mission for days, and the silence of your return made him uneasy.

Suddenly, the sound of the infirmary door opening abruptly caught his attention. Will turned quickly and saw you, staggering in, with a cloth pressed against your stomach, stained with blood. Your face was pale, and the effort to stay upright was evident.

– "Oh, gods! You're back!" – Will exclaimed, running to you, his heart racing in his chest at the sight of the blood. – "What happened?" –

You tried to smile, but the fatigue and pain were weighing you down. – "The mission... had some problems." –

Will didn't hesitate to guide you to the nearest bed, concern shining in his eyes. He knew you were strong, but seeing you in that state left him with a mixture of fear and panic. – "Lie down here, I'll take care of this now." –

He quickly grabbed the instruments and potions he would need, but while his hands worked skillfully, his mind was in turmoil. Will had always been your best friend, the person you trusted, but what he felt for you went far beyond friendship. However, the fear of ruining everything kept him from saying anything. He couldn't lose you, no matter what.
