A/N: SORRY for the late update, cupcakes! I had a tough week and only just woke up X_XAnyways, enjoy ;3

Day 20: Saturday

Nico heard the door closing and momentarily wanted to shoot up, horrified that he might have missed his admirer.

But then he heard footsteps coming towards the bed.

He sighed, visibly relieved and calmed his thumping heart.

The person chuckled. "Good morning, Nico."

Nico smirked slightly and turned towards the sound of the voice.

He heard a small sound that sounded as if the person put something down.

Then he felt him lift the blankets slightly, slipping beneath it and into Nico's warm bed.

Nico instantly turned around, wrapping his arms around him.

He chuckled again. "Somebody's enjoying this."

Nico only snuggled closer to him, feeling him wrap his arms around him tightly.

"I love you, Nico."

Nico smiled, rubbing his face against his chest.

He mumbled something in return, but had no idea what it really meant.

The admirer placed a soft kiss on his head, stroking up and down his back again.

"Want me to stay with you until you wake up, again?", he asked quietly after some while, placing another soft kiss on Nico's head.

Nico nodded instantly, moving his face upwards to meet his lips with his own.

The admirer was the only one where Nico really initiated any kisses himself.

He sighed against Nico's lips, complying only too willingly.

This time, he even licked over Nico's bottom lip, gently sucking on it as he pleaded for entrance.

Nico smirked slightly, parting his lips to let him in.

Gods, he was going to die.

A warm, fuzzy feeling, much stronger than when they usually kissed, spread through him like Greek fire, making his heart beat much faster and his breathing ragged.

The person moaned quietly, his hands moving over Nico's body, making him shiver beneath the touch and lean into the kiss more, starting up a dance of their tongues as they entangled their legs to get closer to each other.

"Gods, Nico, I love you so much.", he breathed against the kiss and Nico huffed as he felt those lips moving down his jaw to his neck, kissing and nibbling gently, though without really leaving marks this time.

Nico moaned, his hands anchoring themselves in the person's hair.

He travelled down Nico's neck to his collarbone, kissing and licking and nibbling on his skin and Nico found himself tugging on his hair slightly to pull him back up, needing another one of those kisses right now.

He instantly complied, coming back up and pressing his lips onto Nico's, letting his tongue slide past Nico's parted lips again.

Nico huffed and noticed that he must have turned at some point, for he was actually on his back now and the person was on top of him.

He loved it.

All of it.

He wanted this so much.

All of this.

And even more.

But he was also beginning to feel the signs that he was completely waking.

His admirer wouldn't want him to wake.

As they parted, they both panted heavily, foreheads connected.

Nico began forcing himself back into sleep.

"I love you, Nico.", he heard the voice mutter quietly, lovingly.

He smiled softly, turning with the person as he dropped back next to him, holding him tight and placing kisses on his forehead over and over again.

"And you're one hell of a kisser."

Nico smirked as he urged himself back into sleep, one hand around his lover, the other one clutching his shirt.

He never wanted to let go.

.

He woke up half lying on his admirer, his head on his chest, listening to the even beating of his heart.

He smiled, searching for his arm again.

Softly squeezing it, his admirer shifted, slowly moving.

Blah, now Nico would have to get off.

He felt soft lips against his forehead and hummed quietly, sliding off him and turning away as to not get tempted to peek.

The person was quiet, not making a sound, though his fingers still caressed Nico's side of his face gently, showing him what he wished to say.

I love you.

Nico smiled.

He heard the usual scribbling again and felt his heart flutter.

How weird it was to be waking up, knowing full well your mysterious admirer was right next to you in bed, writing you another one of those notes you loved so much, yet not taking a look.

Not finding out who it was.

Nico was tempted, alright.

But he didn't do it.

It was already so much to ask of his admirer to stay with him for so long.

He wanted him to be able to really trust him.

Soft lips kissed the side of his face and he hummed.

Then his admirer left his side and the cabin.

Nico sighed, just lying in bed, his eyes closed, already missing the person beside him.

Then a smile spread on his face.

5 days left.

Only 5 days.

He had already survived 20 days.

5 days and he'd know.

5 days and they would be able to spend every night together from beginning to end.

He opened his eyes, glad for his jar of fire.

It kept his cabin lit well enough to see, but not too bright to actually bother him sleeping.

It was perfect.

He turned to look at it, noticing the small package and the note.

He sighed happily, though he just stayed like that a while longer, just lying in bed and gazing at his bedside table.

Then Nico finally rolled over and took the note.

[Dear Nico,

I love you!

I want to tell you so badly right now but I know I'd give myself away if I did.

Last night was amazing.

You are amazing.

I never want to let you go.

Hope you like your gift today!

Have a nice 20th of December.

5 days left!

I can't wait.

I love you,

Your secret Admirer

P.s.: I LOVE YOU! ]

Nico smiled fondly at the note, then dropped it back onto the bedside table.

He checked the time.

Why was he always waking up around 6am?

Then again, it was probably better this way.

In the end the others would barge in and find him sleeping with...well, with one of them.

He shook his head sighing and looked over to his gift of the day.

A smile tugged at his lips.

He dropped his head back into the pillow, wondering if he should open it now.

He did.

As he removed the ribbon, he wondered once more whether the person wrapped the packages up himself.

None of his friends would do such a good job at it, would they?

He rolled his eyes, smiling to himself.

If he started the whole logically-thinking-about-this-thing again, he would still be sitting here on the 25th with a massive headache and still no solution.

So all he could do was wait.

He slowly opened the wrapping paper, peeking inside.

A DVD?

He thought back to the past Saturdays.

Actually, that would probably even fit.

He wondered vaguely if the person had some sort of plan for this.

Tuesdays seemed to be candy days, after all.

Maybe Saturdays were movie days?
Anyways, he loved it.

Pulling out the DVD, he chuckled.

Really?

A Disney DVD?

His friends would love that.

He placed the Frozen DVD on his bedside table and jumped up to store the wrapping paper and ribbon in his cupboard again, then he left to get cleaned up in the bathroom.

.

"OK, this is it! Seriously, WHAT are you two doing at night?", Will asked, devastated and looked at Nico as if his life depended on his answer.

Nico only chuckled and shrugged, an innocent expression on his face.

"I have no idea what you are talking about."

Jason and Percy exchanged bemused glances.

Will only rolled his eyes and wrapped his arm around him, ruffling through his hair as they walked to the dining pavilion.

He chuckled, pushing him away, checking his ponytail.

"That really does suit you.", Jason said, watching him binding his hair back anew.

Nico smiled at him.

Only 5 days and he'd know who his admirer was.

That was all that really was on his mind right now.

Grinning to himself like an idiot, his hand absent-mindedly went to his ear, touching on the skull earring.

The first gift from his admirer.

His heart was beating loudly in his chest.

Will and Jason put their arms around him, grinning knowingly at him.

"Five days, huh?", Will said smirking.

Nico looked at them both exasperated, but smiled.

They entered the dining pavilion and went to sit at Percy's table.

Nobody cared where they sat anymore anyways.

Nico saw Annabeth and Piper at the Athena table alone, sitting close to each other and chatting quietly, happy smiles on their faces.

He glanced ad Jason and Percy, but they either didn't notice or didn't care.

He still couldn't believe they had split up.

But seeing the two girls, they really did seem happy together.

Percy caught his glance, looking around at the two holding hands and giggling, resting their foreheads against each other.

He chuckled. "They seem to be having fun.", he said and Jason looked around as well, smiling.

"Yeah, it's so good they found each other. They fit really well together, don't they?"

"Absolutely. Much better than Annabeth and me, that's for sure.", Percy agreed.

Nico bit into his croissant. Somebody understand these two.

It seemed almost as if they were rooting for their ex-girlfriends to be together.

Not that he minded.

He thought it was great that they hadn't parted in bad ways.

Will munched on his toast. "Well, it was kind of obvious. They've been head over heels for each other for ages. I think they were already completely in love when they came back to Camp."

Jason and Percy chuckled.

"Yeah, I know, right? I remember Pipes would keep talking about Annabeth here, Annabeth there. But I didn't think much of it, because I had my mind on...other things. What with the Camps and all...", Jason told them, though he seemed to hesitate at the end.

Nico frowned but shrugged it off.

"Same. She would talk to me for ages about Piper and would constantly jump up and rush to her whenever they saw each other. In the beginning, I thought it was just me overthinking things. After all, we did want to go to Camp Jupiter and finish college and everything. But then I...well...I found a reason to stay, didn't I?"

For some reason, Percy looked at Nico as he said that, making Nico blink and flush, then scold himself.

Percy didn't mean it like that!

Will looked from him to Percy and back.

Then he grinned and wrapped his arm around him.

"And Neeks found a reason to stay as well: Me!", he claimed and laughed, ruffling through Nico's hair again.

Nico rolled his eyes, red in the face.

Seriously?

Fine, he admitted, he had maybe kind of hoped Will and him might be something more at some point and had stayed at Camp to get to know him better.

Not to mention he would have had to stay until he healed up anyways.

To his surprise, Percy didn't say anything to that, just looking between them quietly, then looking down to his plate, poking around in his blue waffles.

Jason threw him a sideways glance, shrugging slightly towards Nico.

Nico shoved Will away.

"Yeah, yeah. Don't get cocky. I mainly stayed to get the cabin fixed up. Seriously, you guys saw how it looked. There I came up with such a cool design for the outside, and people put something like coffins inside."

They laughed at that. Even Percy.

He smiled.

.

They decided to build snowmen again. Since most people at Camp Half-Blood had by now lost the interest in the snow, they usually huddled around at the Camp Fire, which left enough space for a whole battalion of snowmen to be built.

While Nico made his traditional, suckish snowmen again, the others created the most amazing things.

He took a lot of pictures again.

Though every time he zapped through them, he was reminded of the fact that he still had the pictures of Percy and him on his laptop.

They were in his bin, alright.

But he hadn't gotten himself to really delete them.

He sighed, turning around with his gaze still on his camera screen, blindly running into Percy's back.

Percy stumbled, falling into his just built snowman.

"Oh no! Nico!", he wailed, devastated as his creation fell apart into a heap of snow.

Nico looked horrified. "Oh gods, I'm so sorry!"

Percy put on his pouting face.

"And I was almost done, too…", he complained and bent down, taking a handful of snow, looking at it upset.

Nico was about to ask whether he'd want his help to rebuild it, when Percy suddenly grinned maliciously and looked up at him.

Nico had a feeling what was about to come.

"Percy…no…no!", he said, raising his arms in defense.

Percy's grin widened and next moment, he lunged at Nico.

"No!", Nico yelped, trying to get away, but Percy grabbed the back of his collar and next moment, Nico could feel the snow getting shoved down his neck to his back.

"Eek!", he squealed, horrified, trying to scram.

Jason and Will looked around, laughing.

Percy's arms wrapped around his midriff.

"Yes!", he laughed into Nico's ear and threw Nico sideways into the heap of snow.

Cold!

Percy and him began rolling around in the snow, Percy trying to keep him there and bury him and Nico trying frantically to get away, complaining and laughing at the same time.

The other two joined in, throwing themselves onto Nico and Percy, and soon they were one big mess with snow everywhere.

Literally everywhere.

Nico got the worst of it.

You'd expect since all three of them only got along with each other somewhat because of Nico, they'd have some mercy on him and go for each other.

Pfft, far off.

If anything, they singled him out even more.

When they finally stopped and he opened his aviator's jacket, snow tumbled out of it in whole chunks.

The others roared with laughter.

All of them had wet hair and bits of snow falling off as well, though none as bad as Nico and Percy.

He looked around to Percy, just to see him shaking his head hurriedly, making snow fly everywhere and then insta-dry himself.

Ok, nevermind him.

Percy caught his glance and winked.

Nico made a face and looked away.

"Fine, let me dry you guys again.", Percy chuckled and went over, touching them by the shoulder and sucking the water out of their clothes, drying them.

Then he went over to Nico, though Nico could swear he got way closer to him than the others.

"Aw, Nico, you look like a wet poodle. Come here.", he muttered, pulling him into a hug.

"Well, you did a good job turning me into one.", Nico sulked, though he let him hug him – for the sake of getting dry, of course.

Percy chuckled.

"Well, you DID destroy my snowman. It was going to be such an awesome one too.", Percy sighed and let go of him, though reluctantly.

"Yeah, yeah. Want me to help you build another one?", Nico asked, stepping back and noticing Jason glance at them questioningly.

Percy's face lit up.

"That'd be cool. Hey, we could make a reaaaaaaaally big one!", he exclaimed, spreading his arms in an attempt to show Nico how big he wanted to make it.

Nico only raised an eyebrow. "Erm…ok? But I can only do normal snowmen, just as a warning."

"We're gonna make a normal one. They're cute when you make them."

Nico blinked and felt his ears reddening.

Which reminded him that his ponytail was completely askew. He removed the rubber band, letting his hair fall down normally again. For some reason, it almost felt weird not having his hair bound back.

He chuckled to himself, wondering how many more things had changed ever since his secret admirer.

Seriously, maybe he should believe in Christmas wonders after all.

He was spending more time with his friends than ever before.

He had a person that loved him and wanted to be with him.

He was actually really, really happy for the first time in forever.

Not that he had been unhappy before – ok, maybe he had been, but not THAT unhappy.

He had been…content.

Things had improved compared to a year ago and he had felt better.

But he hadn't been this happy.

It was almost as if his insides were completely overflowing with joy.

He grinned around at the others, who had noticed Percy rushing off and start making a rather very big bottom part to their snowman and now began working on their own oversized snow-woman, judging by the two 'smaller' balls Will was making.

Boys.

Nico chuckled and went to help Percy.

An hour later, they stared up at their finished creations.

"Don't you think we overdid it a bit?", Nico asked doubtful.

Percy had his arms crossed and looked critically up at their snowman.

"You think so? I was just wondering where we're going to get a big enough carrot for the nose from."

Nico couldn't suppress a laugh.

Their snowman had turned out around as big as the Athena Parthenos and at least double its width.

The fitting snow-woman was a bit smaller but made up for that with the largest possible bosom.

Nico could only shake his head.

They had used stones for eyes, mouth and buttons, though not one each but around ten or twenty, due to the size.

Still, it did look rather nice.

Especially with the big broken off branches as arms, looking as if the two were holding hands.

Finding the suitable branches had been quite an adventure, because all the broken wood was covered in ice and snow and most of the visible stuff could only be considered 'twigs'.

"We should give them names.", Jason suggested to Nico's right.

"Sure, how about…erm…", Will started, then stopped, trying to come up with a good name.

Percy chuckled. "And people tell ME to think before I talk."

Nico rolled his eyes as he saw Will turning around, glaring.

"Guys, don't even go there. Else we'll be calling them Percy and Will and I'll get the Hecate kids to bewitch them so they'll never melt."

Percy and Will looked around at him, surprised.

Then Will laughed and crossed his arms behind his head. "Sure, but he's the girl."

"Why am I the girl? YOU are much more girly than me.", Percy instantly complained.

Nico facepalmed. Were they seriously having this conversation now?

Jason chuckled next to him.

"How am I more girly than you? You're the one crying every time we watch Finding Nemo!"

"Hey! Don't you dare use that against me. Plus, may I remind you that my name at least can't be turned into a girl's name, Willa?"

Will scowled. "Never. Ever. Call. Me. Willa.", he growled.

Nico blinked. He had never seen Will actually mad.

Somehow, he had a feeling he didn't want to see it either.

"Guys, stop it. We're naming them Jack and Elsa. Happy now?", he interrupted them and they both looked around at him.

Jason put his arm around him. "Those are good names. I agree. And you'd both make fabulous girls. You certainly are bitchy enough."

They both glared daggers at him while Nico had to bite his lip to keep from laughing.

"Excuse me?", Annabeth's voice sounded behind them.

They looked around.

Annabeth and Piper were standing there, arms crossed, looking at Jason.

"Was that some sort of sexist remark that girls are bitchy and guys aren't?", Piper asked, glaring.

When Piper glared at people, it was not just intimidating, it was outright scary.

"Oh shit.", Jason muttered and they ran for it.

.

They hid in the Apollo cabin until the danger had passed, much to the amusement of Will's siblings, that all chuckled and struck up horrible notes on guitar and other music instruments and joked about giving them out as well as making up verses that didn't rhyme whatsoever, usually about Will and his 'lover boys', much to their displeasure.

When they left for Nico's cabin, there was quite a bit of whistling and somebody threw a pack of condoms at Will's head.

To Nico's horror, Will actually picked them up and glanced at them warily. "Cool, free condoms. We were kinda running low, weren't we? Can I have some lube with that, though?"

That got them to shut up and made Percy and Jason chuckle, wrapping their arms around a gaping Nico and pulling him out of the cabin.

How could they be so cool with stuff like that?!

He would have died from embarrassment right then and there.

Will chuckled, pocketing the condoms. "Don't look so shocked, Neeks. They know we aren't like that."

Percy and Jason chuckled, their arms still around Nico, squeezing him slightly.

Nico's face was still flushed.

.

"Are we going to spend time together like this after Christmas, too?", Nico asked as they started up the film, all sitting against the wall next to each other, the blanket over them.

Nico also had his Christmas blanket wrapped around him from behind. It was simply too comfortable.

"I don't see why not.", Will instantly replied with a mouth full of chips.

"If you want us to I also don't see a problem. But remember you'll most likely be dating by then. Wouldn't want to interrupt your quality time together.", Percy said, winking.

Nico blushed and turned to Jason, who looked around at him smiling.

"I'd love to. Whenever I'm around, that is."

True, Jason would have to leave again.

Nico didn't really want him to. He enjoyed his company way too much to only see him a few days every other month.

It was a miracle he was here for so long already.

There was a lot of work after all. He had asked a lot from the gods and intended to keep his word.

Nico admired him for his decision.

Jason really was a great guy.

But Nico knew how difficult it must be for him to actually follow up on his word, barely getting any rest, responsibility weighing him down even more than before.

Still, he smiled and nodded.

"That's good then. I enjoy spending my time with you guys."

They all looked around at him fondly, but he had his eyes fixed on the screen, his cheeks red.

.

The film turned out to be quite cool. It wasn't one of Nico's favorites, but it certainly was interesting so far.

"Oh gods…", the other three muttered horrified as Elsa hit Anna straight in the heart with her ice.

Nico looked around at their shocked faces bemused.

They had killed monsters, stood up to the Earth itself and almost died in the progress, yet they all sat there, horrified, because a fictive person got hit with ice.

He wasn't sure whether that was idiotic, sad or endearing.

As the film continued, he felt a hand touching his thigh tentatively.

It was Jason's.

Nico looked around at him surprised, but Jason only smiled at him gently, so Nico blinked and concentrated on the film again.

They watched as Anna and Kristoff were almost married off by those stone gnome-things Nico didn't understand.

He was a tad too occupied with Jason's hand, now gently stroking his thigh.

Because of the blanket, nobody could see, of course, but Nico couldn't help looking around at the other two to check whether they noticed anything.

But Will and Percy were utterly transfixed with the happenings on the screen.

"No! Go kiss Kristoff, you stupid girl. What do you want with that other weirdo?", Percy muttered, shoving a handful of chips in his mouth and cursing under his breath.

Will nodded wildly, clutching Mrs. O'Leary Jr.

Nico rolled his eyes and looked around to Jason, who was also looking at the TV, but resumed the stroking of his thigh, which actually felt quite good.

He wanted to lean against him, but decided against it. Instead, he watched as Anna finally got back to whatever-his-name-was.

"So, what's going to happen? Is he going to kiss her and she'll still die because she likes the other guy?", he asked, an eyebrow raised.

"Shht! Don't spoil it!", Will hissed and leaned forward slightly.

Nico chuckled to himself and shifted, causing Jason to pull his hand back for a moment.

Nico looked around at him questioning and Jason turned to him, surprised. Then he grinned and put his hand back on Nico's thigh.

Nico fidgeted slightly with his hands, embarrassed, but then he looked back at the screen.

"WHAT?!", rang through his cabin a minute later as the whatever-his-name-was guy turned out to only have used Anna and left her to die to get the throne.

Nico's lips split into a sardonic grin. "That was unexpected. I like it."

They looked around at him with big eyes. "You're so cruel.", Will muttered meekly. Nico shrugged. "We all know they won't let her die."

"Yeah, I bet Kristoff is going to save her.", Percy said and freed Mrs. O'Leary Jr. from Will's clutches just to wrap his arms around her himself.

Jason chuckled and squeezed Nico's thigh lightly, focusing back on the film.

.

It turned out completely different than expected, of course. Nico loved it. Maybe this was going to turn into one of his favorites after all.

They talked about the film for ages afterwards, still huddled together in bed. Sadly, it got so comfortable that nobody wanted to get up in the evening either.

"Can't we just stay here overnight? We ate so many snacks I doubt any of us need dinner, anyways.", Will wailed and looked around at Nico, who was just eating another chip.

"No.", he replied simply and crossed his arms in front of him.

"Why not?", Percy complained, his head leaning back against the wall, looking rather sleepy.

Jason chuckled. "I think Nico is worried his admirer won't appear if we're all around."

Nico blushed. "Am not."

Actually, he was. If all of them were here, his admirer might still leave him a note, but he definitely wouldn't cuddle with him. That would be too risky since one of the other two could notice.

Percy and Will grinned at him knowingly. Blah.

"Aww, come on, Neeks. Have a heart. You can make out with him tomorrow, again.", Will complained, stretching and snuggling closer to him, closing his eyes.

Nico blushed. "We're not making out!"

Will opened one eye lazily and looked up at him mischievously. "Then I don't see why we can't stay over."

Nico looked away, pursing his lips. "Because."

"Fine. Then no sleep-over. But I insist on another film."

"Yes, I want to watch another one as well. Something funny.", Percy agreed.

"I'd be ok with another film, too.", Jason also announced and Nico groaned.

"Fine. Who'll get up and get it?"

Nobody moved.

Nico rolled his eyes and started crawling out of bed, moving over to his drawer with the DVD's. He randomly picked the first comedy he found and returned to the others, who were watching him out of tired eyes.

He could only hope they wouldn't fall asleep.

.

Needless to say, they all fell asleep.

Nico had nodded off himself for a short amount of time, which was why he had failed to prevent this.

He looked around at the others around him.

Percy had flopped sideways on his pillow, still clutching Mrs. O'Leary Jr., pressing his face into the plush toy. Will had also flopped sideways and curled into a ball, his arms wrapped around part of Nico's Christmas blanket. Jason was still somewhat sitting, though he was now leaning against Nico, his head against Nico's.

He could only sigh.

Just great.

And he had so looked forward to snuggling with his admirer again.

But nothing for it. He wasn't that desperate that he'd wake them all up again and kick them out. It was a long way past curfew after all.

After another sigh, he started carefully moving Jason so he could get out of the bed.

Then he took a picture because it was simply too adorable.

Nico wondered what he was going to do now.

If he left them the way they were now, Will and Jason would get cold pretty quickly and he had a feeling Percy was going to stretch at some point, which would lead to him kicking Will.

He sighed exasperated and climbed onto his bed, cautiously moving Jason to lay down properly, though with his head on the wrong side of the bed.

Jason let him without complaint, not even partly waking up or anything.

Nico then jumped back out of bed and got him a pillow from one of the other three beds in his cabin, urging Jason onto it.

Then he moved on to Will, moving him in the direction of Jason, since he still didn't trust Percy's feet.

Which turned out to be the right decision, for Percy really did move right at the moment Nico had just gotten Will's head out of the way.

Seriously, those guys.

He moved him over next to Jason and got an additional blanket for them in case Percy wanted to keep it to himself.

Now the only question was: Where would Nico sleep?

He was so not going to get back into his bed when the others were laying in it like that.

Nico looked around at the other beds.

They didn't look very inviting. Nico generally avoided the other beds in his cabin. Also, they looked cold. Really cold.

He sighed defeated and went to at least retrieve his Christmas blanket.

But he didn't get very far.

"Nico…?", Percy asked quietly, lifting his head slightly to look at him out of sleepy eyes.

Nico blinked.

"What are you doing?", the dark-haired muttered in a low voice.

Nico tugged on the blanket. "Nothing. Get back to sleep, Percy."

Just when he was about to get it out from beneath Percy, Percy grabbed his arm and pulled him into bed.

"What the…", Nico yelped, but then he was already in Percy's arms.

"You stay here. This is your bed, after all."

Nico tried to push himself away from Percy. He had to admit he was nice and warm and the embrace was certainly inviting, but he was so damn close!

"I-It's ok…", he muttered, but Percy's arms held him tightly pressed against him.

"Shush. Sleep.", Percy ordered in a hushed voice and it sounded as if he was already half asleep again.

Nico felt the heat radiating from Percy. It felt so nice…

He found himself slowly relaxing, his arms still between them against Percy's chest. He could feel the even heartbeat beneath his fingers.

Slowly, he closed his eyes, inwardly still fighting and arguing with himself. But then he drifted off to sleep anyways, unconsciously snuggling closer to Percy.

The dark-haired smiled down at him fondly for a moment, nuzzling his face against his hair.

"Good night, Nico."

Nico only hummed, already fast asleep.
