"Nico, what are you doing?" Will spluttered as he caught himself on the wall of the Hades Cabin. "Oh gods, I'm going to be sick."

Nico scoffed, flopping onto their bed and lying back in a swathe of blankets and stuffed animals.

"You've shadow travelled before," Nico pointed out.

"Not with no warning!" Will protested. "I'm still on shift!"

Nico checked their watch, feigning interest.

"Nope. Your shift ended thirty seconds ago, tesoro. You're all mine."

"Kinky."

"You love it."

Will rolled his eyes. The room had slowed so that it was barely spinning anymore. He moved to sit beside Nico, fondly brushing a hand through his partner's hair.

"You're such a bastard," he muttered. Nico grinned, propping themself up on their elbows and tugging at the hem of Will's shirt.

"Take this off. It's an affront to humanity."

Will glanced down at the bright green shirt he'd thrown on that morning. Then he glanced back up at Nico's smirk.

"If I didn't know any better, I'd say you're just trying to get me out of my clothes," Will responded, even as he pulled his shirt over his head.

"Maybe," Nico admitted. "But I do hate that shirt."

"Rude."

Nico traced Will's tattoo lazily. Will lifted a hand to lightly hold Nico's wrist as they drew.

"I still can't believe you've got a tattoo." Nico shook their head. "You're supposed to be the golden boy. But you're a little shit, aren't you?"

"My secret's out!" Will gasped. "I'll have to trap you here forever and ever."

"Poor me." Nico sighed, pulling Will on top of them. Will caught himself a second before crushing his partner.

Their noses brushed together and Will smiled widely, lightly pressing their lips together.

"Hi," he teased. "Nice weather we're having."

Nico furrowed their brow, mock-seriously.

"Oh yeah," they said. "Not a cloud in the sky. It's beautiful out there."

"Beautiful in here too."

"You fucker."

Nico rolled both of them over so they rested on top of Will and kissed the freckles along his shoulder and up his neck.

"I love you." Will breathed.

Nico nipped at his neck.

"Hey!" Will said. "I was being nice."

"You love a vampire," Nico mumbled, nosing at Will's jawline.

"I knew there was a reason why you were so pale."

Nico pulled back, frowning. "No more affection for you."

"No, I'm sorry," Will whined. "Come back, baby."

He held Nico's face in his hands and pulled them down for a kiss. Will rested a hand on the back of Nico's neck, gently encouraging them to stay where they were.

"Love you too," Nico whispered against Will's lips, feeling him smile into their kisses.

Will pulled Nico's shirt off, tossing it to the side. Nico laughed, resting their forehead against Will's.

"Don't laugh." Will pouted. "This is supposed to be hot."

"It is hot but it's also weird."

"Weird?" Will asked in dramatic shock.

"In a good way," Nico assured him, cupping Will's face.

"I'm getting mixed messages."

"No!" Nico bit their lip to stop themself smiling. "Like, you think I'm weird right?"

"Undoubtedly."

"But you also think I'm attractive."

Will bolted upwards, yanking Nico into a deep kiss.

"You're the most beautiful person I ever did see, darlin'," he said.

Nico lost the battle with their smile. "Well there you go, then."

They collapsed comfortably on top of Will, hugging him close.

"Is it the beautiful or the darlin' that makes you blush?" Will asked.

"Both. And your accent," Nico answered immediately.

"What accent?" Will questioned, putting on his southern drawl even heavier.

"Sai cosa intendo, tesoro," Nico countered.

Will wrapped his arms tightly around them. "You are beautiful, sweetheart. Like a kitten."

Nico snorted. "Soft kitty, warm kitty, little ball of fur."

"Happy kitty, sleepy kitty, purr purr purr," Will sang softly, ending with a yawn.

"Sounds like you're the sleepy kitty."

"Maybe I am." Will huffed. "Will you stay with me?"

"In my bed? Warm and cosy?" Nico tightened their grip on their boyfriend. "Yeah, I suppose I can manage that."
