Solangelo One Shots (fluff)

Story I

Nico sat cross legged on his bed, back up against the wall, reading. His cabin was dark and it was late, way past curfew. He couldn't sleep so he decided he might as well catch up on some reading, he had nothing better to do.

Suddenly there was a light knocking at his door. He looked up from his book and saw a shadow underneath the door from the lamp outside.

"Come in," he called. The door cracked open with a creak. The person that stepped in almost surprised Nico. He thought maybe it was going to be Chiron, or even Jason, but it was actually Will Solace--his boyfriend--who stepped inside wrapped tightly in a blanket. Nico immediately perked up at the sight of him.

"Hey Will, what's up?" Nico questioned. Will didn't speak, he just closed the door after him and waddled over to the bed. As he got closer, in the light of the moon peeking through the blinds, Nico could see his tear streaked face and heavy eyebags. Nico furrowed his brown in concern.

"Hey, come here, are you okay?" Nico asked as he gestured for Will to sit down on his bed. When Will sat down, he collapsed his head onto Nico's lap, much to Nico's surprise. But, he soon leaned into the sudden touch. He set down his book and began to stroke Will's curly golden locks. Nico always loved Will's hair, it was always so incredibly soft and it looked like golden fleece when he was in direct sun.

Will sniffled and leaned into Nico's touch. "I um...had a...bad dream. I can't sleep," Will replied, struggling to get his words out. Nico looked into Will's sapphire eyes sympathetically, he knew exactly how Will felt. Will had helped him  through his fair share of nightmares, and now it was Nico's turn to return the favor.

"Do you want to stay here for the night? I can read and you can try to fall back asleep," Nico suggested, "I won't leave you." 

Will nodded a yes and wrapped himself tighter in his blanket as Nico picked his book back up, using one hand to hold the book, and the other to lovingly stroke Will's hair. He softly ran his hands through Will's hair, using the pads of his fingers to massage his scalp. He felt Will relax into the mattress and he could even hear his breathing slow down a tad.

After a while, Nico's eyes got droopy and he began to nod off, himself. Will was just too warm for his own good. He didn't plan on sleeping that night, but if he had Will, maybe he could try.

He adjusted himself and Will down farther in the bed. The blanket wrapped around Will was almost off completely, but he still looked sound asleep. Nico moved him and Will so he was laying on Will's chest, hugging him close. He felt Will's arms wrap around him and pull him closer. Nico sighed, content, and finally let his eyes fall closed, allowing sleep to engulf him.

Nico woke to the feeling of warmth all throughout his body. He was lying on his side. His eyes fluttered open and he was face to face with Will's chest. He could feel Will's arms wrapped firmly around him and their legs tangled together. He felt one of Will's hands in his hair, playing with it gently. Will stroked his raven black hair and curled it around his fingers. He felt Will twist it up gently, then release it, combing it through with his fingers, then using the pads of his fingers to lightly massage Nico's scalp.

Nico glanced up and saw a small smile on Will's lips. Will noticed him move and took his hand away from his hair. Nico brought his hand up to Will's jaw line and gently brushed it with his thumb. Will smiled down at him and adjusted himself so Nico was now nose to nose with him. Will cupped Nico's face in his hand and ran his thumbs across Nico's features. Nico's ears and cheeks flushed, being this close to Will. Even though they had been dating for a while, he still got flustered whenever Will was this close. Will smiled at Nico's blush and leaned closer, just enough for his lips to ghost over Nico's.
