hello everyone! this is my first fanfiction, which is just a little drabble that was inspired by a headcannon that I found on tumblr. it was written by MidnightRose24, and she gave me permission to write this, so I would like to dedicate the whole piece to her. thank you for letting me use your amazing creativity as a starting point! I hope that you all like it; I wrote it in like, literally 10 minutes, so I apologize in advance if any mistakes escaped my (slight) proofreading eyes.
headcannon - "Thalia is always pushing Nico off the bed at night. She doesn't mean to, she's just used to sleeping in the middle of the bed."
disclaimer: I do not own PJO or even the idea for this drabble.

"Oomph!"
Nico hit the ground with a thud, propelled out of the bed by a foot in the small of his back. He shook his head to clear it – shaggy dark hair falling into his eyes – and glanced at the clock. Every night it was the same story, so he was curious to see if the streak would (finally) be broken.
To his surprise, it was. The LED display glared at him, reading out 1:13 am. She was early tonight, a whole 2 hours ahead of schedule. Nico got to his feet and glanced at the bed, wondering if a bad dream of some sort had prompted his…situation. Thalia sometimes got dreams so terrible that she would scream herself (and him) awake, but she refused to tell him what they were about. No matter how much he wheedled and bribed, her lips stubbornly remained shut. He doubted that was the case tonight, though, as the only sound coming from the bed was her steady breathing.
Steady breathing that meant Thalia was fast asleep. And she was, sprawled out in the middle of the bed. That right there was the problem; she always wanted to sleep in the middle of the bed. Not on her side, not even on his side, but a combination of the two. Meaning, of course, that she frequently kicked him out of the bed in her sleep in order to get in to her preferred position.
As gently as he could, Nico shifted her back over to the right and climbed into the bed beside her. She automatically rolled over and snuggled against his side, flinging one arm over his chest as if he was her own personal pillow. He ran his fingers through her dark hair and brushed a light kiss onto her forehead before closing his eyes. Between getting kicked out of the bed every night and his love for shadow travel, Nico was able to fall asleep whenever he wanted, which came in handy on occasions such as this.
He had just drifted off when….
"Ooof!"
He allowed himself a wry smile and sat up, checking the time as he got to his feet again.
3:15.
Right on schedule.
there we go! I hope you all liked it and please please review!
