Capture the Flag (Will Solace x Wheelchair!Reader)
hi guys! probably gonna be a short blurb but ive had this idea for SO long and i just NEED to put it in writing.
summary: you, a demigod in a wheelchair, desperately want to participate in capture the flag, just once! but things go wrong, and you end back in the infirmary with your situationship/kind of boyfriend?, will solace.
word count: 678
"will, please, just once! i won't get hurt, how could i?" you plead with your friend and infirmary doctor, will solace. you had needed a wheelchair for as long as you could remember, so in camp, you were never allowed to participate in capture the flag. it was actually quite heartbreaking: the main event of the month and you couldn't join in? will frowned, "i don't think so, sunshine. your vitals aren't looking that good..." "i'll be on clarisse's team! what could possibly go wrong when i'm with clarisse?" you frowned, rolling a little closer to will and giving him your best puppy dog eyes.
he sighed and smiled, "alright, honey." will leaned down to kiss your head, and you hugged him, grinning. "thank you, thank you, thank you! you won't regret it!" he did in fact, regret it.
during capture the flag, one of the girls from the aphrodite cabin had simply pushed you into the water. you fell out of your wheelchair, attempting to get back to shore, but eventually passed out.
turns out, you were passed out for a long time. long enough to really worry will. when you woke up, he was sitting beside you, asleep on an uncomfortable plastic chair. "will?" you asked, rubbing your eyes. he woke up suddenly, frowning. "sunshine! you're okay, thank the gods." he smiled and moved forward. "how are you feeling? you had a fever. percy saw you in the water and brought you here."
you frowned, sitting up a little. will quickly pushed you back down, tutting. "no, not yet. just rest for me, baby." you laughed a little, "i think i've rested enough. did we win?"
"that's not what's important," will pursed his lips. "i regret letting you participate. you're hurt now." will had that upset golden retriever look on his face, and you were going to cry. you sat up again, despite his protests, and shook your head. "i wanted to. it was a good experience, despite how it ended." will got up slowly, sinking down onto the cot. he moved some hair out of your face, letting out a long sigh. "is there anything i can do for you, love? maybe get you some ambrosia?" you frowned. this would be a little awkward of a response. "how about you lay down with me?" will paused, a bit flustered, but got under the thin blanket with you, holding you close. the boy was literally a ray of sunshine, and his warm body comforted you.
you were woken up the next morning by will, trying to get up. "sweet pea? sorry, i just have to get to work." "mmph, five more minutes..." you responded, holding him closer. his face was red, but he snuggled a little longer with you. will was completely and utterly in love. your constant adorable drowsiness, the way you'd 'accidentally' roll your wheelchair over anyone you didn't like, your sweet smiles and soft eyes...he didn't know what to do.
everyone knew it. well, at least, everyone but you.
after about twenty minutes, will got up, careful not to wake you. he got you a plate of food and some ambrosia, and was sitting at his desk, doing paperwork.
you slept in a lot that day. once you finally woke up, will was looming above you, checking your temperature. "you're really pretty," he complimented, without even thinking. you blushed, "thanks." awkward silence filled the room. then will leaned down and kissed you. it was so soft, experimental, even. you wrapped your arms around his neck, closing your eyes.
he slowly pulled away, staring down at you as he held your face. "i'm sorry. i should've asked for your consent. i'd understand if you didn't like me that way-" he frowned. such a sad face, and for what? "no! will, i do like you! gods, come here," you kissed him again, pulling him onto the cot.
clarisse walked in, shocked when she saw the makeout session you and will were practically having. "oh my gods, they finally got together! travis, come see this!"
