Nico woke up 3 hours before his alarm. He tried going back too sleep but he couldn't even keep his eyes closed. He decided to get on his phone. To no surprise Percy had texted him, twenty times. He just rolled his eyes and ignored it. Nico always joked that he was Percy's only friend but it genuinely felt like Percy only talked to him sometimes.
Nico opened snapchat and looked through his friends stories. Usually he would speed through them but he was too tired. After a second or few he paused on a picture from his classmate, Cecil. It was of him and Will. Nico stared at it for a second or two, or three. He was half wondering how they knew each other and half thinking of how absolutely beautiful the blonde looked. He stared a bit longer then decided he should stop because it was kind of creepy. He kept going until they ended then, because he still wasn't tired enough to sleep he turned on a movie.
Nico jolted up to the sound of his alarm. He looked at the clock, 7:00. Had he fallen asleep again? He shrugged and slid out of bed. He walked over to his closet yawning. He opened the doors and grabbed out a random hoodie. The one happened to be from when he was an emo 13 year old and obsessed with mcr. He contemplated getting something different then decided he was too lazy to actually look and there was nothing wrong with the hoodie. He grabbed a pair of baggy patch jeans out of his drawer. He had made them with his friend Alex a few months ago because she was better at stitching than him and was better at making clothes in general. He had put music artists he liked and some star patches with pink and green paint splatter on them. That was Alex's little touch and he liked it. He hadn't worn them to school for some reason so he was happy to have found them. He laid the clothes on his bed and went to shower. When he was done he did his normal stuff, an obnoxiously long hair and face care routine that made hazel yell at him to get out of the bathroom. His father always joked it was like having two teenage daughters. Everyone always thought Nico got offended when his dad said he acted like a girl but he didn't, he kind of felt, validated. His thoughts were interrupted by a familiar banging at the door.
"HURRY UP.", A tired, female voice screamed.
Nico smiled and said in a content tone, "I'm almost done!" And started humming to annoy her more.
"UGH Nico I swear to the gods above AND below if you do not open this door right now I will-" she was cut off by the whirring sound of the hair dryer.
"Hmm? What was that? Can you speak up a little please?" He said in a innocent tone.
"OH MY GODS.", She yelled
He could hear his dads tired mumble yell tell him to stop like he does every mourning this happens.
"What? I'm nearly done I just need to finish washing my face!" He said.
"Why are you like this!" Hazel grumbled.
He snickered to himself and started brushing his teeth, which was the last thing he had to do.
"Ok you can come in!" He said opening the door smiling.
She glared at him and went in. He sighed at the satisfaction her reaction gave him. He knew it was kinda mean but it was very funny to him.
He went back up to him room to get dressed. He knew Hazel would be out after he was done so he could fix his hair how he wanted. He walked into his room and shut the door behind himself. He dropped his towel and started to get dressed.
When he finished he went to the kitchen for food. He made scrambled eggs and toast for him and Hazel, leaving cheese out for her because he knew she would want to have an egg sandwich. She was done with showering and dressing before he was done eating.
They always did each others hair anyway the other wanted to as long as it didn't look horrible and didn't mess with the others mood that day. Nico usually put hers in a natural bun or buns. While he she did different, interesting styles everyday. He wanted to make it different but he didn't really know how to style hair.
"I think we should try and match today.", She said while waiting for her sandwich to warm up in the microwave.
"How would we match?", He asked with a mouth full of food.
"Like I'll put heart clips in your hair and you give me heart shaped buns.", She said
He swallowed and asked quietly, "can you teach me how to do that.."
She laughed and said, "yeah sure Nico I'll teach you how to do it."
