Comfort in Cabin 13

Phoe's Tumblr Drabbles

Nico glared annoyed as he headed toward his cabin. New year, new campers. New campers were exhausting. Sure, in theory Nico liked kids, some kids were even great to be around, but there was so much wide-eyed romanticizing of the wars. The problem was that Nico kind of understood it. When he had first learned he was a demigod, he had been the same way. Bright-eyed, bushy-tailed, admiring the heroes of the past and thinking their myths were 'cool'. It was less cool when one lost their sister to the war and suffered PTSD and depression after. So Nico couldn't even fault the kids, not really, he was just so exhausted from them. On top of that, he hadn't gotten to see Percy since lunch and the less he saw Percy, the worse his mood got.

Will had at one point made direct eye-contact with him, taken a legit prescription block and prescribed him at least one hour of direct Percy Jackson contact per day, because it improved his mood and in a better mood, he was more likely to sleep well, be motivated to eat properly. It wasn't that Percy magically cured Nico's depression, but when Nico felt alone, Percy... made him feel less lonely. Seeing Percy and the way he was struggling with his own PTSD and how hard he was trying too, it somehow helped. It made this feel like a shared burden and not like a struggle he was going through all alone, even though he knew factually that he was dealing with his own issues alone.

"Hey, be more careful," grunted Nico's bed when he collapsed face-first.

"P... Percy, why are you in my bed?" asked Nico stunned when he rolled over.

Percy in his bed. Nico's cheeks flushed brightly. And Percy looked so cute, all sleepy.

"The newbies," replied Percy, sounding so tired. "They've been bombarding me with questions about the war all day and when I wanted to go to bed, I found five of them waiting in front of my cabin so I kind of... fled? And none of them are brave enough to even knock on your door."

"Being the scary son of the scary king of the scary underworld pays off," commented Nico.

He smirked and got up again to at least get out of his jeans, flushing as he noticed Percy's eyes on him and the fact that Percy had already shed his own jeans, laying in Nico's bed in his boxers. They hadn't been dating for long now and they hadn't slept in the same bed yet.

"Stay here tonight," offered Nico after a moment. "Though you already got comfy, mh?"

"You can't resist my kitten-eyes and we both know it," Percy stuck his tongue out, pausing for a moment. "They keep saying that I'm too goofy to be a 'great hero', behind my backs."

"Who cares about what they think?" Nico glared as he climbed into the bed. "You are a great hero."

He pulled his boyfriend close enough to place a gentle kiss on Percy's forehead.
