It's totally punk rock to be the little spoon, shut up.

And hi, I'm trying to catch up on all the days I've missed so there'll be another chapter out tonight!

Thanks for reading and hope you have a great day!

Fez.

Nico was lying sleepily, tucked up against Will's side. The other boy was reading some kind of medical textbook like the nerd he was, and Nico knew that Will probably wasn't going to get his to own cabin tonight.

Thankfully, Will's siblings were nice and turned a blind eye to the times where their head counsellor wasn't in his own bed. He showed up for his infirmary shifts and he always had time for his brothers and sisters if they needed him. Plus allowing him to stay at the Hades cabin meant they didn't have to actively see their brother cuddling up to his boyfriend. They were cute but they didn't actively need to see them.

"Will go to sleep." Nico muttered, his eyes closed against the lamp that Will was keeping on. He heard Will chuckle and ruffle his hair before he closed the book.

Nico settled himself down in the bed properly, watching the darkness as Will lay down too.

"Hey Will?" He asked into the silence and he could see the white flash of his teeth in the gloom.

"Yeah?"

"Can you-" Nico cut himself off, his cheeks colouring red. At least Will couldn't see that. He wasn't even used to having someone alongside him, let alone cuddling him. How weak to ask for a cuddle like a child.

Will waited patiently even after Nico went quiet but the silence felt deafening.

"Never mind." Nico muttered, embarrassed for speaking up. He flipped so he was facing away from Will, and pressed his face into the pillow. If he was lucky he might suffocate and not have to face Will after almost admitting he wanted to be spooned.

Will made a confused hum, obviously completely thrown off by what had just happened, but soon Nico could feel him shifting in the bed.

An arm was thrown over his side and suddenly there was warmth along his back and Nico couldn't help but relax into the hold. He felt safe and warm and happy, and he could feel Will's puff of laughter against the back of his neck as he melts against his boyfriend.

"This?" he asked, and Nico nods contently. This was better than he'd been expecting.

"You didn't have to ask. Or be embarrassed." There's definitely a grin in Will's voice but it wasn't malicious.

"And next time I'm the little spoon."
