Third P.O.V
Nico always sleeps with pillows on the edge of the bed. In the Hades cabin the bed is pressed against the wall. So Nico always puts pillows where it's open. He doesn't sleep with pillows under his head, just on the open sides of the bed.
One day Nico was taking a nap and Will walked into the cabin.
"What the heck?" Will asks himself. He looks down at Nico. He's curled up in a ball. With pillows everywhere. After a minute he wakes Nico up. Nico just throws a pillow at him and turns over.
"Fine!" Will says and shoves all the pillows in the floor.
"Hey!" Nico complains. Will lays down in the bed. Wrapping his arms around Nico protectively.
"Why do you sleep with all your pillows like that?" Will asks him.
"I don't know, I've done that since I was a kid. Bianca would ask me the same thing." He smiles sadly. I squeeze him closer.
"It's just one of those weird things I do. I know you know what I'm taking about." He kisses my cheek and sneaks a hand onto my upper arm.
"Hhm, haha yeah, I know exactly what you're talking about. And I love those weird little things you do." Will explains.
"Of course you do Will, you're weirder than me." Nico turns over with his back pressed to Will's chest.
"Yeah you're probably right."
~Later That Night When Everyone's Asleep*
Nico is just about to dose off, pillows in place, when Will sneaks through the Door.
"What are you doing here Will? Aren't you supposed to be asleep with your brothers and sisters, getting rest before you wake up before the sun?!" Nico hisses.
"Well. You know how you have those pillows there? I'm here to help."
"Help with what?!" Nico says tiredly. Will slips off his shoes, jacket, and shorts.
"This." Will once again shoves all the pillows in the floor and climbs in bed. Nico crawling into his arms. Nico hangs to him like a child.
"From now on, I'll be your wall of pillows. Every night. I'll be here. You got me?"
"Yeah, I got you." Nico says burying his face in Will's neck.
"You promise?" Nico asks.
"I promise love." Will says smiling.
"Good." Nico says right before he slips into complete darkness. Falling fast asleep.
And Will was there, every night.
