Nico woke to the gentle toying of his hair. He sighed deeply, blissfully, and contently. He didn't need to open his eyes to see who was with him, or to relax into their touch. He knew who it was. From the careful comb of fingers through his hair and blunt nails against his scalp. Warmth seeped through them and into his head, soothing his mind.

He wasn't quite ready to face the world that morning, but the playful tug and curling of his hair helped break the ice of the day. He was never cold when his boyfriend was around.

Nico let out a little whine and he stretched his limbs. He was on his back and when he moved, he felt the warm wall of his boyfriend off to his left. He smiled as his hand felt around for the other's shirt and he twisted it around his fingers, toying with it. He turned his head toward the hand in his hair and nuzzled the palm.

"Morning, sweet thing," Will said lowly. Nico could feel his chest rumbling with a chuckle and the faint wisp of his breath across his face. Then, a soft pair of lips landed delicately on his forehead.

Nico, with his eyes still closed, gave Will another sleepy grin and wiggled against the bed, inching closer to the son of Apollo. Will caught on and wrapped an arm around Nico's waist, pulling him close to his chest. Nico was on his back and Will on his side, protecting Nico from the offending world.

One of the only reasons Nico woke up in the mornings was for Will. He knew that if he woke up and Will would be there, his boyfriend would keep the world out and all the challenges and heartache that was out there didn't exist when they were curled up in bed, safe in each other's arms.

"How'd you sleep?" Nico whispered, his voice a little hoarse from sleep.

"Very well," Will replied, continuing to rake his fingers through Nico's hair, scratching behind his ear.

Nico let out a low rumble of pleasure and leaned into it. "Gods, keep doing that. I can't remember the last time anything felt so good," he practically keened.

Will chuckled again, but he kept scratching and rubbing around Nico's ear. He moved briefly to his neck and massaged his nape. "Didn't know my boyfriend was a cat," he teased, creeping a hand under Nico's shirt and fluttering his palm over Nico's sensitive belly.

"Shut up," the son of Hades grumbled, though, halfheartedly. He let out a breath of pure relaxation as he dissolved into Will's touch. He could never get used to the feeling of safety his boyfriend gave him. He would do anything for him.

Will kissed Nico's temple. "How did you sleep?" he asked. Though, as he waited for a response, the son of Apollo drifted his kisses down and began littering them down the smaller boy's neck.

Nico hummed in satisfaction and leaned his head back to allow Will more room. "Very well," he copied, but then he added, "I always sleep well when I have you,"

He felt Will's lips pause on his throat. "You're perfect," Will's voice ghosted against where he was kissing, and then before Nico could respond, denying it, Will opened his mouth the slightest bit and nibbled on Nico's pale skin.

Nico's breath caught for a moment, then raised a hand up to cup the back of Will's neck and keep him there, not wanting him to stop.

A little while passed before Nico found the energy to finally open his eyes. To face the world.

Will had just stopped kissing his neck and Nico could tell his face was right above his own and that the bastard was admiring the work he probably did to Nico's neck. Though, Nico couldn't find any room to care.

He slowly cracked his eyes open, bracing himself for the light. But as he opened them and gazed up, he was simply met with his love's beautiful face. The room was still dim, the sun not shining too blindingly through the curtains and the only thing Nico could see was Will. And that was all he needed.

Will beamed down at him and placed two soft kisses under his eyes. The hand at Nico's stomach lifted up to cup his face, the son of Apollo's thumb brushing his cheek bone.

"So pretty," Will murmured, his pupils blown wide with affection and love. Nico felt a faint blush creep up his ears and he buried his face in the hand Will was cupping his face with.

Will simply moved his head back and rested their foreheads together. Nico felt their lips brush and jutted his chin up just the slightest bit to seal them in a kiss.

Will's lips moved against his in sweet honey-like motions, stealing his breath and giving him life all at once. It was gentle and passionate just like the boy above him and Nico felt elated. This moment was so perfect, so serene, and so much more than Nico ever thought he deserved.

He never thought he'd find this type of happiness, this amount of peace, but he did. He never knew peace before, hardly knew happiness. He was relishing in this free feeling of love he had for the boy above him. He could hardly believe that any of it was real. But it was.

So, so very real as their kisses got sloppier and faster. So very real as his boyfriend crawled in between his legs as a hand pulled at Nico's hair to manipulate the kiss. So very real when another warm hand slid his shirt up, leaving sparks on his skin in their wake.

It was all so real, so special, and so perfect. So he sank into it, surrendered to the feeling and embraced his helpless, boneless body when it came to Will. Because he knew, in the end, Will would protect him and love him no matter what.

"I love you, more than I can say," Will whispered against Nico's lips when they broke for air.

Nico smiled up at him, his chest heaving. "Then show me."

And Will did.

Alright y'all, this was all I had energy for, this week. Sorry about the short one. I've just been super tired.

Also I am sleeping, its just from my depression. Also I don't get much sleep because I don't have time for it. Life is too demanding. I need a fucking break from it all. Not you guys tho, y'all make me happy.

I'm finally getting an assessment done for autism and I had my first assessments today and I'm so tired from them. It took way too much brain power, I'm so flipping tired.

in all, I hope y'all have a wonderful day/night, drink some water, eat a snack. Take care of yourself, you deserve it!

Love always,

Neptune <3

Q: what's something creative you've done recently? art related or not :)

A: I made little cheat cards for EPIC the musical. Basically, I wrote a summary for each song for a friend of mine bc they're too busy to watch the animatics to help things make sense. So I wrote down what happens in each song and what can be easy to miss when just listening. I also divided it up by saga and made little title cards for each new saga.

here's the title one, I love how it turned out :))
