Bugs. Bugs were crawling across Nico di Angelo's face while he slept. Not like this was anything new. Numerous nights under the stars while questing made him quite accustomed to the sensation. With a muffled groan, Nico swatted at them with his hand, willing them to go away. Instead of lessening, the tickling sensation grew. In annoyance, Nico wrenched his eyes open, only to be met with a bright, blinding... blond?

"Ack!" He violently rolled away, crouching in a fighting stance. What the hell was that?!

"Mmmmrrrphh." A strangled sounding groan resonated from the bed, causing Nico to jump. Darkness pooled began to envelop Nico, there to either aid in the fight or flight of the young demigod. Just as shadows began pulling him into senseless darkness, a face peeked over the edge of the bed Nico had rolled from.

"Deathboy? What the Hades are you doing?" Will Solace began rubbing the sleep away from his face.

"Nothing, Solace." Nico huffed, slightly embarrassed. Those mysterious bugs? The enemy he was ready to face? Yeah, just Will Solace's blindingly bright hair.

"Are you running from my hair again? Because it's really starting to get old di Angelo. This is the third time just this week." Will flopped back down on the bed with a light sigh. Warmness began to spread across Nico's cheeks as he struggled to find a retort.

"It wouldn't be this big of a deal if you would just stick to your side of the bed, Solace. Every time I wake up, I have a mouthful of your nasty hair. I'm not even sure if you wash it regularly." Nico tried to give him the signature death glare, but turned away defiantly in an attempt to hide the blush that was slowly taking over. Suddenly, long arms were around Nico, lifting him from the ground. He immediately stiffened and twisted to get away.

"Solace! I swear! If you don't put me down I'll suck this room into the Underworld!" Will flopped back on the bed with a loud "oof," totally ignoring all the thrashing and threats flowing from the smaller boy. Will buried his face in Nico's hair, inhaling the scent while smiling. He released his grip slowly, allowing Nico freedom.

"That death glare of yours in so cute when you're talking about being threatened by my hair dirt." Nico sprang up while Will was distracted, straightening his clothes while attempting to stay composed. He would never admit that even though the hair woke him up, and was a little annoying, Nico loved it. He didn't have to admit to anything, because Will already knew.

"Now get over here, it's 3AM and the sun is nowhere near being up yet." Will rolled over, cuddling back into the blankets. Nico slowly crawled back into his side of the bed, with his one blanket, staying to the far edge of the bed. As soon as he settled, Will rolled over, and engulfed Nico with his 3 comforters, snuggling up close, hair splayed across Nico's pillow and face. Nico let out a tiny relaxed sigh.

"You're so annoying, Solace."
