Nico woke up laying on top of Percy Jackson, who was currently asleep next to him. Nico blinked his large brown eyes a few times, but didn't move away from the son of Poseidon. He was thoroughly enjoying the warmth, and was also enjoying the feeling of waking up next to the boy.

The son of Hades snuggled closer to said boy, letting out a small sigh of comfort. He nuzzled his head into the tan boy's shoulder, wrapping his arm around him lightly. The discomfort was happening again, either because of the pregnancy, or because he had just slept in the backseat of a car. He thought it was probably both.

After a few more moments, he noticed how the car wasn't moving. He had just assumed Jason had gotten to tired and was pulled over into a parking lot. Jason was always extra-cautious when driving, so it wouldn't surprise the son of Hades. Jason Grace was a mom friend.

Nico could have fallen asleep like this again, cuddled next to Percy, the smell of the ocean in his nose, but he soon felt the other boy move, and got increasingly nervous. "G'Morning," Percy mumbled into the son of Hades' hair. The simple sentence made him feel better.

"Mornin'," Nico mumbled back, making no effort to remove himself from the other boy. Nico felt Percy nuzzle his nose into his dark hair, and found it oddly comforting.

"Did you sleep well?" Percy asked, but do to his tired state it came out more as "didyoong sleemp well?"

Nico, if possible, tried to get closer to Percy. He told himself it was just for warmth, since the car was a bit cold. "Mhm, you?" He said, his words becoming muffled in Percy's shirt.

"Mhm, for it being the back of the car 'n all," He said, laughing at the end. Nico let out a small chuckle, still making no effort to get away from the son of Poseidon. Nico hated himself for wanting to be this close to the boy, but he was like a drug, and Nico was so fucking addicted.

Moments later, the door from the car opened and Jason's voice boomed. "Morning, sleepy heads!" He smiled. Nico heard his seatbelt buckle and slowly sat up, not too willingly.

"Tone it down a bit, eh?" He said, sitting up and looking down at the son of Poseidon. He was still laying down, but his green eyes were slightly opened, his arm still lazily thrown around Nico. The son of Hades couldn't imagine anyone more beautiful just waking up.

"Sorry, I pulled over after an hour of driving because I almost closed my eyes, but," He said, then Nico heard the ruffling of a bag, but his eyes were still smiling down at Percy. "I woke up before you two, and decided to drive another hour to this McDonalds, seriously, you two sleep too much, but here," He smiled, handing a bag of food to the two boys in the back. "Eat," He said, cranking the car a bit.

"Um, thanks?" Nico said, still a bit sluggish from just waking up. He looked in the bag and noticed two pancake, or hotcake, platters. He pulled one out, putting it in his lap before nudging Percy with the bag.

The son of Poseidon opened his eyes a little wider and took in the sight before smiling. "Yeah," He said sitting up slightly, removing his arm from Nico's waist. "Thanks,"

"No problem, and I'll be good for driving for the next bit, I got almost as much sleep as you two, but you guys sleep to much anyway,"

Nico and Percy both scoffed at this, but decided not to make any comments, just happily eating their pancakes. Nico tried to hide the pain that kept accruing from Percy but the son of Poseidon did notice, and sent him a silent question with his eyes, that Nico just waved off.

After the little meal, Nico took a swig of Nectar which still tasted the same as it always did, and buckled up. He also forced Percy to do the same. The son of Poseidon took car safety very seriously. It was the only warning he ever truly listened to.
