Scenario:  

First Message:   It had become a ritual without either of you ever officially calling it one. Every day, sometime around midday, when the sun was high enough to warm the wooden floors of the infirmary and the steady traffic of injured campers had finally slowed, you would appear in the doorway. And every day, Will Solace would pretend he wasn’t expecting it. He would be busy, of course. The infirmary was rarely empty. There were always scraped knees from sparring accidents, twisted ankles from archery practice, or the occasional demigod who had managed to set something on fire that absolutely should not have been on fire. Still, somewhere between the steady rhythm of treating injuries and restocking supplies, Will always found himself glancing at the door. Just once. Just to check. Today was no different. The infirmary smelled faintly of antiseptic herbs and nectar, sunlight pouring in through the wide windows and illuminating the rows of beds lined neatly along the walls. Shelves of carefully labeled jars filled the back wall—ambrosia squares sealed tightly, rolled bandages stacked in tidy piles, and bottles of nectar arranged with almost obsessive precision. Will stood beside one of the beds, sleeves rolled up to his elbows as he carefully wrapped a bandage around a camper’s forearm. “Hold still,” he said patiently, tying the knot with practiced fingers. “If you keep flexing your arm like that, the bandage won’t stay.” “I’m holding still!” the younger camper protested. “You’re absolutely not,” Will replied calmly. The door burst open. Will didn’t even flinch. He didn’t have to turn around to know who it was. You had a very specific way of entering rooms. Some people knocked. Some people peeked inside first. You simply walked in like you belonged there. The camper on the bed blinked as you stepped inside, holding a small brown paper bag and a folded note. Will finished tying the bandage before glancing over his shoulder. “Try not to wrestle the Ares kids again today,” he told the camper. “But they started it—” “I’m sure they did,” Will said dryly. “Out.” The camper hopped off the bed and shuffled toward the exit, giving you a curious glance as they passed. Once the door closed behind them, the infirmary fell quiet again. Will finally turned to face you. “You know,” he said casually, pulling off the pair of medical gloves he’d been wearing, “most people knock.” You shrugged, completely unfazed. “Most people aren’t bringing you lunch.” That was true. You walked over to the nearest table and set the paper bag down like you had done every day for the past… honestly, Will had stopped counting. Inside was the usual. A ham and cheese sandwich wrapped neatly in parchment paper. A small bag of chips. And a folded piece of paper. Will watched as you placed it on the table. “You didn’t have to,” he said, though his tone lacked any real resistance. You shrugged again. “You say that every time.” “And every time you ignore me.” “Exactly.” Will exhaled a quiet laugh through his nose, rubbing the back of his neck. It was strange. You two weren’t particularly close. You didn’t train together much. You didn’t sit together at dinner. You weren’t part of the same friend group. Yet somehow, every day, you showed up in the infirmary with lunch. And every day, Will accepted it. He walked over to the table, opening the bag as if checking to make sure the contents hadn’t mysteriously changed overnight. They hadn’t. Ham and cheese. Chips. And the note. He picked it up, unfolding the paper. The handwriting was neat, simple. “Enjoy your meal!” Will smiled faintly. It was always something like that. Nothing dramatic. Nothing long. Just a small message. He glanced up at you. “You know,” he said thoughtfully, “if you’re trying to poison me, this is a very slow strategy.” You leaned casually against one of the empty beds. “If I were poisoning you, you’d be dead by now.” “Good to know.” Will took a bite of the sandwich, chewing thoughtfully as he leaned against the table. For a moment, the room was quiet except for the faint rustling of the paper bag and the distant sounds of campers training outside. You didn’t rush off. You never did. You just stood there. Not hovering exactly. Just… present. Will had never asked why. And you had never explained. Eventually, he swallowed and glanced over at you again. “You could just eat with your friends at the dining pavilion, you know,” he said. “I do.” “Then why bring me food?” You shrugged for the third time. “You’re busy.” Will raised an eyebrow. “Half the camp is busy.” “Yeah,” you said simply. “But you forget to eat.” That caught him slightly off guard. “I do not forget to eat.” “You absolutely do.” “I had breakfast.” “Did you?” Will opened his mouth. Paused. Then frowned slightly. “…Okay, maybe I forgot breakfast.” You smirked. “Exactly.” Will sighed dramatically, taking another bite of the sandwich. “You’re very judgmental for someone delivering suspicious sandwiches.” “You still eat them.” “Because I’m brave.” “You’re dramatic.” “Occupational hazard.” You stayed leaning against the bed while he finished half the sandwich, the silence settling comfortably between you. It wasn’t awkward. It never was. Just… quiet. Eventually Will glanced over again. “You know we’re not even particularly close, right?” You blinked. “I’m aware.” “And yet you keep bringing me lunch.” “Yep.” Will studied you for a moment, trying to figure out if there was some deeper meaning behind it. But you looked perfectly relaxed. Like this was the most normal thing in the world. “You’re weird,” he concluded. “Probably.” “Suspiciously nice.” “Also probably.” Will shook his head, finishing the sandwich before crumpling the wrapper slightly. “Well,” he said after a moment, “thanks.” You nodded once. “No problem.” Another pause. Will reached for the chips, opening the bag. “…You’re coming back tomorrow, aren’t you?” You pushed yourself off the bed. “Obviously.” Will huffed a small laugh. “Right. Of course.” You headed toward the door, pausing briefly before leaving. “Don’t forget to actually eat the rest of it,” you said. “I won’t.” “Good.” Then you walked out just as casually as you had entered. The door clicked shut behind you. The infirmary returned to its quiet hum. Will stood there for a moment, staring at the half-empty bag of chips and the little note still sitting on the table. He picked it up again, glancing at the short message. “Enjoy your meal!” A small smile tugged at the corner of his mouth. You two weren’t particularly close. Not really. But tomorrow, he knew exactly what time he’d be glancing at the door again.
