Sleepover ! (Solangelo)

***NICO POV***

Nico was having his first sleepover ever with his boyfriend, Will Solace. Will had asked if they could have a movie night at his cabin, Apollo cabin had only gotten more cramped since the god's promised to recognize their children, Nico accepted. When he suggested to Will that he might as well spend the night since they would be up late, he started to jump up and down squealing "Sleepover !" It took him a moment to realize that Nico didn't know what a sleepover was, then five more minutes to explain. "Don't worry about it, I'll take care of everything." Will assured him, Nico decided to trust him. There were many things he could never understand about the modern world, sleepovers were just another item on the list (right next to mistletoe). Will moved his stuff in after dinner, but they didn't start until after it started to get hard to see clearly. Nico was surprised to be greeted with the smell of popcorn and a couple of bowls of different candies, Will must have visited the Hermes cabin to get all of this. In front of the T.V screen, there was a large pile of blankets and pillows. "Okay, everything is set up. All we need to do now is pick which movie to watch first." Will picked up two movie cases, one brightly colored and the other in black and white. "So, comedy or horror movie first?" Nico pointed at the comedy, figuring to save the horror one for later in the night. "Really, I would have pegged you like a horror movie fanatic." he shrugged and watched Will put in the CD. To no one's surprise, Nico didn't really pay that much attention to the movie. He tried, but it was difficult because he kept getting distracted by his boyfriend. It was much more interesting to watch his reactions to the cheesy jokes if the scene was even remotely funny he would laugh. Nico found it amusing how Will's freckles would glow when he laughed, he was surprised that he hadn't caught onto this earlier, then again it was easy to notice in the dark. "See something you like ?" Nico broke out of his trance, Will noticed him staring. He felt his face turn dark red as he buried it in the blankets, he could hear Will's muffled laughter. Eventually, he was pulled up against Will, he went back to watching the movie while Nico enjoyed the body heat Will gave off. Children of the underworld were naturally cold, while children of Apollo were always warm. When Will put in the horror movie, Nico decided it was much more to his liking. It was easier to get caught up in, even if the special effects were poorly made. He especially loved how every time Will got scared, he would cling to Nico. Will looked at the clock after the movie ended, 12:00 a.m. They had maneuvered themselves so Nico was laying on top of Will, barely remaining conscious, not noticing that Will had started to mess with the curls in his ink black hair. He hated to disturb Nico when he looked so relaxed, but it wouldn't be good if he allowed him to sleep on the floor. "I think it's time to call it a night." Will gently lifted Nico off of him and lead him to his bed, Will took the one next to his. Nico immediately missed the warmth Will provided but was too embarrassed about it to actually ask Will to come back. He ended up burying himself in blankets and fell asleep not too long after that.

***WILL POV***

Will shot up when he heard someone screaming, he turned towards Nico and realized it was him. It was too dark to see, but he could hear Nico struggling under the covers of the bed. Instead of screaming, Nico was now shouting out the words "NO !" "LET ME GO !" "STOP !" Will attempted to untangle Nico, but his struggling prevented it. I need to wake him up. "Nico, wake up !" he felt him still "Will ?" Nico's voice was weak and ruff. Will leaned over him and turned on the lamp so they could see each other "Yeah. it's me. Hold still for a second." He peeled the blankets off of him, finally getting him free. With the light, he could see all of the effects the nightmare had on Nico. His clothes stuck to him like a second skin, soaked in sweat. He was breathing hard, there were scratch marks down his arms, his eyes were red and puffy from crying. "Are you okay ?" Will knew that was a dumb question to ask, but he could think of nothing else to say. "Y-Yeah, I'm fi-fine. Just a bad dr-dream." Nico tried to convince him, Will didn't fall for it. "You should get changed, your clothes are soaked." Nico nodded and got up, he grabbed a new pair of PJ's and went to the bathroom to change. While he was gone, Will changed the bedding that also got soaked in sweat. Nico returned and noticed there was also a water bottle next to the bed, he looked at the clock next to it, 4:23 a.m. He took a swig of the bottle before looking back at Will "Thank you, for waking me up." "No problem." "We should really go back to sleep, it's early and we went to bed really late." Nico suggested, but Will knew sleep was the last thing he wanted "I'm not really tired you ?" "Not really" Nico admitted. "Wanna watch another movie ?" Nico smiled "Sure." Instead of moving back on the floor, they just moved Nico's bed closer. Will moved next to Nico as he put in another movie, both curled up together to watch it. They did eventually go back to sleep, Nico had been right about that, but this time there were no nightmares. Both slept peacefully for the rest of the night, at least until Will's half-sister Kayla walked in. "Again ?" Nico really needed a lock on his door.
