Pockets Full Of Sunshine

cHAPTER 6

Nico DiAngelo opened his eyes and looked around. It looked dark, and the room was quiet.

So why did he hear the softest breathing somewhere in the room?

Nico DiAngelo looked down at did not expect what he was seeing.

Will Solace was there, his head on Nico's chest as he slept. His arms were wrapped around Nico.

And Nico's arms were wrapped around Will.

Nico blushed madly and pulled them back, but not to harshly to alarm or wake up the boy on him. Even though Nico was pretty sure there was nothing in his heart left, he didn't have the little things in him to wake up Will. The son of Apollo just seemed so exhausted. And looking at the time, it seemed as if they had fallen asleep only an hour ago.

Already discussing the topic of not wanting to wake up the boy on him, Nico rested his head back on his pillow and his back on the bed. He stared up at the ceiling.

He had no idea what to think. His crush, Will Solace, in his embrace. Since when was Nico allowing that? Since when did Nico even allow anyone to touch him? The only people he'd really open up to was his family and his friends, but he wouldn't even let those people hug him, they only had the authority to touch him or high-five him.

But recently, it seems, he had fallen for Will harder and harder, wanting to be with him more and more. And how could anyone not fall for him? His golden locks and bright eyes, his wonderful slight freckles and glowing personality. 

But it felt so strange. The concept of the word 'love'.

Love was something he always felt from someone, not for someone.

But here he was, with the concept that he loved Will Solace. He really did.

After what seemed like another hour of thinking, he heard someone crack the door open. Nico sat up slightly, wanting to see who was at the door and this time.

"Oh, hey Nico, didn't mean to wake you." Hazel whispered as she walking into the cabin, and began getting on her bed. She already knew that Nico liked Will, the two siblings tell each other everything, but she didn't tell Nico that she had a feeling Will liked him back. She was waiting, along with the rest of the group, to watch it unfold.

"I was already awake, it's okay no need to worry." Nico said.

Hazel saw Will and seemed to let out a sigh, but he din't know what it was of. "I'll sleep at Frank's tonight, don't wanna alarm you or steal you from Will."

Nico blushed and eyed at Will, who was still sound asleep. "Alright," was all he could manage.

Hazel wished Nico goodnight and closed the door, and it was back to Nico and his thoughts. It was so Hazel for her to just do that.

He kept thinking about so many things, like his father, and his friends, and it all seemed to go back to Will. Gods, that was all he seemed to enjoy thinking about. It worried him and made him space out a lot, but it felt good. 

Nico snapped out of his thoughts when he noticed that he had been rubbing his fingers through Will's hair. It was so soft and smelled like the outside.

"Nico?"

Nico recoiled his fingers when he heard Will speak. He looked at the boy and slightly smiled. he was adorable.

"Hey Solace." 

"What time is it?" Will groggily asked, yawning and trying to check the time.

"It's 9 pm."

"Shouldn't you be eating?"

Nico groaned. "Shouldn't you still be sleeping? And seriously, I'm not hungry, thanks."

"Wow. Someone's grumpy." Will rolled his eyes playfully, and then shot up.

"Gods, I have to get back and help, my shift doesn't end until 10-!"

Nico pulled Will's arms as he was about to leave and pulled him back on the bed.

"No, you needed to get some rest, you've been working too hard. I'm sure they'll understand you need a break sometimes. Seriously, you claim I don't take care of myself yet you're the one that should take the advice?"

Will just sighed and sat back down with Nico, yawning. 

"I'm not even tired." He mumbled.

 Nico crossed his arms and yawned, they were contagious after all, and began loving how there was no light in the room so Will couldn't see him smile.

"You wanna maybe do something tomorrow? With the group?" Nico asked.

"Sure, you guys can decide what to do, I'm fine with anything really." Will mumbled.

Nico started thinking of what to do when he felt something fall on his shoulder all of a sudden.

"I'm not even tired my ass." Nico grumbled as he pulled the covers over Will and himself.
