Anyway, this one shot was inspired by @CadyKuch09's comment as a "morning person".

Enjoy!

- Nico's POV -

Nico was lying in the comfy bed of his dorm room, texting you happily.

He was on his belly, giggling and smiling to himself as he hugged a pillow to his chest.

He'd be damned if anyone caught him geeking over a girl. But it didn't matter.

After all, it was you we were talking about.

"It's late, Nico," you texted back, making Nico's heart ache with disappointment. He had a guess of what you were about to say.

"Go to sleep."

Nico let out an upset grunt, scrunching up his body as he hugged the pillow tighter.

"Can't we keep talking? Or maybe call until we fall asleep?"

Nico could practically sense your fond smile the moment he sent that message to you.

"Of course, love," you replied, "Call me."

Nico immediately pressed the call button, tucking himself under the sheets as you began to talk about your day.

"Peter's such a pain," Nico chided as you complained about your group project, "Can't you ask the teachers to switch teammates?"

When he didn't get a reply, a soft yawn came from the other side of the phone line.

Nico chuckled softly, ending the call with a sigh as he whispered, "I'm sorry to keep you up, my love. Go to sleep now, okay?"

Without even waiting for you to respond, Nico turned his phone off and closed his eyes.

After about an hour or so, Nico's eyes flew open again. He was wide awake. It's still 11 pm and still far off from his actual bedtime. 

Eventually, Nico got up from his bed and turned on his computer. Maybe playing games would make him sleepy...

That was such a wrong decision for him to make.

Nico spent hours sitting down in front of his screen, the blue light making his eyes wide awake and alert.

Before he knew it, the sunrise began to seep through the curtains of his dorm window. Nico glanced at the warm light shining against the fabric and sighed.

It's 5 am. And your sweet, poor boyfriend hasn't slept a wink.

Nico picked up his phone and checked if there were any new notifications.

He let out a sudden inhale as he clicked on a text message from you. Did you not get any rest either?

The message was a sweet good morning from you, along with a few funny videos sent to make him laugh.

Nico clicked the call button, waiting for you to pick up.

"Good morning, love," Nico said gently as soon as he heard that familiar hum he knew all too well, "How... How was your sleep?"

"Pretty good, actually," you replied back, "Why? Did you stay up again?"

Nico froze. You actually had some rest?

"I don't understand morning people..." he muttered over the call, pinching the bridge of his nose as he sighed and closed his eyes, "Sorry to call you so early, Y/N. I just wanted to make sure that-"

"Nico," you interrupted him, your voice rather firm, "How many hours of sleep did you get?"

Nico blushed, fidgeting with his fingers as a weak reply sounded from your phone, "About that..."
