Trans male! Nico bc I have no shame
———
Will, Austin, and Kayla were setting the infirmary up for the day, and Will was supprised when Nico suddenly shadow traveled into the room.

Besides the fact that it was five in the morning and Nico didn't wake up until at least ten, he was also very concerned to see the tears welling in his eyes.

"Nico?" He asked, putting the gauze in his hands on the desk in front of him and walking over to where Nico was stumbling from his magic, "Nico, what happened? What's wrong?"

Nico seemed oblivious to Austin and Kayla, who had also stopped to look, as Will grabbed either side of his face.

"Will," he said, sounding as panicked as he looked, "Will I think I'm dying."

"W-What? Nico," he frowned, his hands sliding down to his shoulders.

"Will," he whined desperately, "Will my stomach has been hurting all day yesterday, and I woke up this morning and it hurt so much it made me throw up and my back is killing me and my head and- and when I went to the bathroom there was blood in my pants."

Will sighed, and Nico started crying.

"Okay, c'mon," Will grabbed Nico's hand, pulling him into one of the back rooms and sitting him down on the cot, and then sitting on the stool in front of the bed himself.

"Look," Nico quickly stands up, dropping his sweat pants.

"Oh, gods, Nico," he said, quickly looking the other way.

"No, Will!" He sobbed, "Will I changed this morning and there's more blood, please help me, Will, just look-" Will sighed, looking up at the ceiling.

"Babe, please pull your pants up," he heard a small whine from Nico and the shuffling of cloth.

"Will, I'm dying," he seemed convinced, and Will slowly looked at him, glad to see he wasn't still half naked (not that he would complain if he was).

"Nico, I promise you, you aren't dying. You're- Nico have you ever heard of a period? Or mensuration?"  Nico wiped at his eyes, shaking his head, "Okay, well first of all, you aren't dying, I promise," he grabes Nico's hands, and Nico sniffles. Will frowns, "you know I'm surprised this is your first one, I'm assuming it's your first one, I mean, you are fifteen."

"Will," Nico whines, "what's happening?"

"Okay, basically, your on your period right now. It's going happen every month for a week, maybe shorter maybe longer, but it's your uterus shedding the lining it was preparing for a child, but obviously you aren't pregnant. That also explains your back hurting and your stomach, while mensturating your pelvis actually expands (I saw that somewhere, it's probably wrong), there are different levels of pain, I guess, it sucks that yours is so bad," Nico's bottom lip quivers at the information.

"Have you had yours yet?" He asks, and Will frowns.

"Well, no, it's-" he pauses, than, "it's for people that have a uterus." Nico pouts.

"It's for girls, you mean."

"No, Nico that's not what I mean."

"Whatever," Nico sighs, "what am I supposed to do? The blood would go through my pants."

"Yeah, hold on a second," Will walked to the bathroom connected to the room and grabbed a small stack of pads, then walked back to the room with Nico, "Okay, these are pads, and they go in your boxers to catch the blood." He then showed Nico how to open them and properly put it on. He also gave Nico some medicine to make the pain lessen.

Nico sniffles as he leaned forward and hugged Will, and Will didn't hesitate to wrap his arms around Nico.

Will moved so he was sitting next to Nico so he could hold him better, putting his face in his dark locks of hair.

"You alright?" Will asked. Nico didn't respond, instead trying to move closer to Will. Will smiles softly, slowly and soothingly running a hand up and down Nico's back.

After a while, Will started hearing the voices of his siblings slowly trickling in, and he figured Nico didn't want to be in here when someone came to set the room up. With a sigh, he slowly pulled back.

"Neeks, you should probably go get changed," he murmured, making Nico slowly open his eyes with a whine.

"Can you come to my cabin with me?" He asked.

"I have to work, sweetheart," he replied, pecking Nico's cheek, "I'll come to your cabin when I get off, okay?" Nico let out another whine, and Will smiled softly, "I promise."

"Fine," Nico mumbled, standing up and cringing.

"Here," Will grabbed the stack of pads and handed them to Nico.

"Thank you, Will."

"Of course," he leaned forward and placed a kiss to Nico's lips, "take it easy today. Take a nice hot shower and then try and get some sleep, okay?" Nico nodded, taking a deep breath before quickly kissing Will again, then slowly dissolving into the shadows.

Walking back to the main part of the infirmary, Kayla raised an eyebrow at him.

"Shut up," he muttered, "it's his first period, he didn't know what was happening."

"I could tell," she smirked, and Will rolled his eyes.

When  Will finally got off duty, he went straight to Nico's cabin as promised.

He was sitting on his bed, his head leaning in his hands as Percy babbled about something that had happened today.

"Hey," he said, closing the door to the cabin. Nico perked up a bit when he saw him, smiling softly.

"Hey, Will. I was just keeping Nico company, I brought him some food when I relized he's been sleeping all day," he gave Nico a look, and Nico silently shrinks in on himself, "I thought we talked about this, Nico."

"Yeah," Will intervened, "I actually told him to take it easy today, he was just doing what I told him."

"What? Why, are you okay?"

"Oh, uh, yeah. I just, um, really hurt my shoulder yesterday," he lied, blushing. Percy nodded, than continued the story he was going on about before Will got here, and Nico gave Will a desperate look.

Will shrugged with a smile.

"P-Percy," Nico said, and Percy stopped, looking at him, "uh, sorry, but I'm really tired," he trailed off, awkwardly scratching his arm to release the anxious feeling.

"Oh, right," he stood up, "Sorry. I'll let you sleep, see you later." Nico have a weak wave, Will said good bye, and when the door closed, Nico flopped onto the bed with a long sigh.

"Why are people so exhausting?" Will hummed, walking over and pushing his hair back.

"How's you stomach feeling? And your back."

"Hurts," Nico said shortly, closing his eyes. Will sat on the edge of the bed.

"When was the last time you went to the restroom?" He asked, and Nico shrugged.

"When I got back from the infirmary this morning."

"What? Nico, you need to change it regularly."

"Why? You said it was the heavy one, shouldn't it last all day?"

"No, oh jeez, Nico, you need to go change. You're going to get an infection or something," Nico sighed, standing up with a 'fine' and he walked to the bathroom.

While Nico was in the bathroom, Will kicked his shoes off and took off the mint green scrub shirt and put on one of the many sweatshirts Nico stole instead. He then got comfortable on the bed, laying on top of the sheets and spreading his arms and legs out, smiling softly and closing his eyes.

Nico's queen sized bed was way better than his twin.

When Nico came back out, he went over and practically lied on top of Will. Not that Will minded, he wrapped his arms and legs around him, making Nico giggle, and then started repeatedly pecking Nico on the lips.

"Ugh, Will," he complained, and Will chuckled. With a huff, Nico grabbed either side of Will's face, pulling him in for a proper kiss.

Will sighed contently, putting his hand on top of Nico's.
