I Constantly Thank God For Solangelo

Sleep

More trans Nico on his period because that's my favorite head cannon and I have no self control.

Nico closed the door to his and Will's apartment with a sigh, it had been a long day, and all he wanted was to sleep. But, as he dropped his bag by the door, he saw Percy, Jason, Annabeth, Piper, Frank, and Hazel sitting in his living room, laughing and studying.

"Hey, Nico," Frank greeted, being the first to notice him, and suddenly, five other pairs of eyes were on him, along with over cheery greets. Nico gave a weak smile in response, going into the kitchen and grabbing a bottle of wine from one of the cabinets, along with a wine glass.

"You okay?" Hazel asked, setting an empty bowl on the counter as Nico poured the wine.

"Yeah," he sighed, "just a long day."

"Do you want to talk about it?"

"Not really," he mumbled, setting the bottle down, "Sorry." Hazel shook her head, smiling.

"It's okay. Just know I'm here for you if you need me." Nico smiled softly and nodded, taking a sip.

"How long have you guys been here?" Nico asked, looking at his group of chatting friends.

"Not long. Do you need us to leave?" Nico was quick to shake his head.

Truthfully, he just wanted to change in his pajamas and go to sleep, or maybe he could finally start watching 'the end of the fucking world' on Netflix, either way, he just wanted to be alone, maybe cuddle with Will when he got home.

"Are you sure?" Hazel asked, seemingly reading his mind, "we won't care if you need us to, we understand."

"It's fine, really," he looked at Hazel, smiled, "I should probably be studying too."

He took another gulp of wine, and Hazel hummed.

"Where's Will?"

"He's in a lecture right now," Nico replies, and Hazel smiles.

"Come sit with us, maybe you can get some studying in," she grabbed his hand, dragging him to the living room.

Nico plopped down on the couch next to Percy, Hazel sitting next to him, and he got multiple greets (again). He only contributed to their conversation with one or two comments every now and then, and multiple times he felt his bottom lip quivering at their loudness. Luckily, though, no one seemed to notice, and he was able to hide the fact that their loud volume made his anxiety spike.

"I'm going to use the restroom," he excused himself, and left for the bathroom. And, as he went to flush the toilet, he wasn't very pleased to find that he used the last of his small stash of tanpons.

He quickly washed his hands, and sent Will a text asking if he could go to the store after his class, to which he agreed. He stayed in the bathroom a couple of extra minutes than he needed, mostly because he couldn't handle going back out to his friends.

He loved them, but sometimes, they were a bit too extroverted for him.

Sighing, he walked back out to the living room, sitting down where he was before. Nico zoned out a lot, not really interested in the topic of conversation.

And Nico couldn't help as his eyes slowly fluttered, falling asleep while he hugged his knees to his chest.

Will walked into his apartment, hearing loud shouts and laughs from 'the seven' (as they like to call themselves) and Thalia, Reyna, and Calypso. He frowned.
