Nico lay uncomfortably down on the hard bed of the Hades cabin. He shifted from his side to his back and onto his other side, trying to find a viable position to sleep in. As he turned, the blood-red blankets wound up into tight knots, laying rigidly against him. The son of Hades groaned and flopped onto his face, tangling the said sheets around his legs. He closed his eyes and moaned into the black pillow. He slowly stopped moving, fading into a wonderful blissful-
Nico jerked up, sucking in a sharp breath, eyes wide open in fear. His lips trembled as he looked around the dark room, relaxing a little when he saw nothing out of the ordinary. He sighed, he definitely couldn't go to sleep. He blew his fringe out of his eyes and turned on his bedside lamp, casting large, figurine shaped shadows on the blank walls. He shifted in his bed and slipped his feet into the demon faced slippers he had beside his bed. Maybe a few snacks can help him. A few rustles, creaks and thumps later, his door was wide open, the back of a nightgown disappearing around the corner.
…
Nico grumbled as he found the fridge empty of anything edible. He walked over to the cupboard, hoping for better luck. A scent hit his nose. Nico opened the cupboard and gaped when he saw a big tray of heated chocolate chip cookies, insulated inside a clear container. His mouth watered and stomach grumbled as he took it from the shelf. Nico remembered hearing Will use the oven in the afternoon but he never imagined he was baking cookies.
He breathed in the heavenly scent and looked around, checking Will hadn't woken up. He walked to the table and opened the box.
"One won't hurt," Nico said quietly, picking a large, chocolate-covered cookie out, grinning.
…
Will groaned as he sat up in bed. He couldn't sleep. The constant nightmares were too much. He yawned but stopped when he saw a light shining out from under his door. He stood up to investigate, exiting his room and walking down the hallway towards the kitchen.
There stood Nico, walking away from the cupboard, looking like a deer caught in the headlights.
"Nico what are you doing?" Will inquired.
"Nothing," Nico said too quickly, "I just couldn't sleep."
"You ate the cookies didn't you," Will sighed.
Nico looked flabbergasted, "No, I would neve-"
"You have crumbs on your face," Will pointed out in a matter of fact tone.
Nico wiped his mouth with his sleeve, "Where?"
"Everywhere," Will snickered as Nico desperately tried to wipe the crumbs off his cheeks.
"I was only going to eat one but then they were so good and I started eating more and then before I knew it, I ate all of them! I don't know why. I'm sorry. I re-"
Will cut him off by pulling him into a kiss. Nico stiffened a little but relaxed into it. His arm snaked around Will and brought him closer, feeling the soft lips pressed against his. But before he could do anymore, Will pulled away with a smile, leaving Nico feeling shocked.
"Will, I..." Nico spluttered out.
"Well, I can't sleep either," Will said, "Sooo… You know."
"Can we," Nico gestured between the two of them, blushing the same colour as his bedsheets.
Will smirked, "Of course."
I know it's short but yes.
