Good Dreams

Will was laying down face-first into his pillow, not imagining himself getting up in the near future, even if the whole camp was set on fire. Needless to say, he was tired as hell.

He planned on getting some sleep, some much needed sleep, and for a couple of hours, he actually got some, and he even dreamt, which usually was a bad thing for demigods, but it was such a good dream this time.

Will was walking down a hill, arriving in a meadow full of flowers. The day was sunny, and the comfy grass under his bare feet invited him to lay down and enjoy the warm sun on his skin.

He walked a little bit more, and eventually found himself laying on the grass, eyes closed, the soft wind going through his hair, like a caress, the sun kissing his skin, making him feel warm and sleepy.

He was so calm and relaxed he almost fell asleep, but a warm hand touched his face, and even though he wasn't expecting it, he didn't get startled, like the place was too calm to ever let him get stressed.

No, he softly opened his eyes and stared at him. His black eyes and black hair, shining because of the sun, his olive skin, reminding Will of how he was healthy, thank the gods, the slight blush on his cheeks, his hand on Will's face, slipping down to his neck, his thumb tracing small circles on Will's soft spot, making a shiver run down his spine, making his arms' hairs stand on end.

His presence making Will feel like there was electricity in the air, and every where they bodies touched, was like an explosion about to happen. He got so lost in the boy on top of him, he actually forgot to move, but the other's head lowered, and his lips brushed against Nico's ear as he whispered.

"Wake up, Will"

"Will? Will, wake up. C'mon, Solace. It's time for breakfast."

"Wha-?"

Nico shook his shoulder not so gently, after Will tried to talk, but his words came out slurred due to having just woken up.

"You're going to miss breakfast, Will."

Will managed to open his eyes, and saw Nico on the same position that he was in his dream. He looked just as good as Dream Nico, but this time he could actually kiss him, which really sucked, and made Will fall into a grumpy state.

"Oh, Gods, I can't believe you actually woke me up."

"Yeah, usually it's the other way around, but you slept too much today."

"No, I mean... Just, forget it." Will said, as he got up, and walked to his bathroom to brush his teeth. When he got back, without a shirt, Nico blushed a bit and turned around, letting him change.

"Did I wake you from a good dream?" Nico asked and Will froze with his shirt midway through his torso. He put it all the way down and put some jeans on.

He walked and stood in front of Nico, thinking of what to say.

"You... yeah." Good choice of words, Will.

Nico lifted an eyebrow. "What was so good that made you sleep in and get moody after you woke up? Dreamed about curing cancer or something?"

"No" Although that would be another great dream. "I... was in a meadow. It was sunny and calm, and I was relaxed."

Nico smirked a bit. "That's it? You got so happy about a meadow?"

Will got into defense mode. "Well, yeah. It was perfect. It was sunny, the grass was green and soft and you-" Oh, no.

"M-me? I was in your dream?" Nico actually stuttered.

"I... I mean... You, were... I... Y-yeah, you were." Will found himself saying.

Nico didn't know what to say or do. His body was kind of frozen, and at the same time he was kind of numb, he could feel all the same time. His heart beat, increasing, his face, that was getting hotter, to the point he basically had a fever, and he could feel Will, how his hand was centimeters away from his own, and how he suddenly had the urge to grab it, and pull Will to himself.

He was acting like such a school girl who found out his crush liked her back, though that probably wasn't even the case. Will didn't actually say what Nico had done in his dream. For all he knew, it could be something along the lines of: All was sunny and flowery and beautiful and then you showed up and covered everything in darkness, completely ruining the meadow and my dream.

He suddenly didn't know if he wanted to run out of the cabin, or run to Will, and hug him, and blurt out that he liked him, and that he wanted to be in Will's dreams every night, although that would be kind of creepy.

So he just stood there, like an idiot, and so did Will.

Will was wondering if he had ruined it all. He had just told the guy in front of him that he had dreamt about him, and he was really embarrassed. Nico hadn't said a word since Will broke the news, so he didn't know what else to say. I'm sorry if it creeps you out, but I actually quite liked it, and really hope it happens again, although next time you could actually kiss me. Yeah, real smooth.

Although it probably wouldn't be a good idea if Dream Nico kissed him. If he had been so sad because it had all been a dream when Dream Nico merely whispered on his ear, he would be devastated if he thought Nico had actually kissed him, when he didn't.

Gods, he would have a hard time sleeping tonight, from thinking so much about it.

Nico was so red right now. He was really hot, too, which made Will instinctively reach out and touch his forehead, to check for a fever.

The moment Wills hand touched Nico's forehead, Nico froze, and so did Will, before quickly putting his hand back down, but Nico reached out and took his hand. He gently pulled Nico to himself, and Nico whispered in Will's ear, "What did I do in your dream, Will?"

Will gulped and answered "Exactly what you just did."

"And after it?"

"I... I don't know, you woke me up."

Nico's heart sank. "Oh".

Nico was about to step back when Will spoke up. "But I want to find out"

"Maybe you will next time you sleep." Nico whispered, his mouth really close to Will's neck.

"What if I don't dream about it again? I don't want to risk not knowing." Will said, and pulled back to look Nico in the eye, a sudden boost of braveness making him make just what he felt he needed to.

"So... What are you going to do?" Nico asked.

"I don't know if that's what was going to happen in the dream." Will said, slowly, so he wouldn't stumble on the words. "But, it's what I wanted to happen." He put a hand on Nico's cheek.

"I... want it to happen. In real life. Not on a dream, where I will wake up after and be disappointed. I want to do it. Right now. Is that okay?" He asked for permission, after all, he would never do it, if it made Nico uncomfortable, even if he desperately wanted to do it.

Nico didn't think twice before nodding his head.

With that, Will's heart fluttered, and he leaned in.
