Chapter Twenty One - Contacts

Nico has never told anyone but his eyesight is terrible. Everything around him is a blur, the only way he can see where his boyfriend is- is looking for a blob of blond and spots. Will still doesn't know about him being basically blind. Right now, he was fumbling around looking for his glasses. He was like Velma trying to look for them, he put his contacts away and he dropped his glasses. 

He's blind as hell right now, everything is a blur, he can make out little things but nevertheless it's blurry. There was a knock on his door, he shot up. "Ow," he said rubbing the back of his head as he hit it. He was underneath a desk, cliche, I know.

"Nico, you okay?"

"Um yeah, just bumped into something."

"Alright, I'm just letting you know that lunch is soon so..."

"Yeah yeah, see ya, Percy."

"Alright, see you later Nico," Percy responded from the other side of the door.

"There we are." Nico laughed as he finally found his glasses under his bed. "Now I can see!"

His sight came back, everything was clearer. He could see the dust specks on his glasses but he was too lazy to clean them (Boy same.) You learn to ignore it and see through the nasty. You gotta fight trash with trash, hahaha... no? Moving on, Nico was now prepared for lunch. He did however have to put his contacts in.

He really didn't like sticking his fingers in his eyeballs to put them in or take them out. Nevertheless, he didn't want anyone to know he wore glasses so he had to put them in.

Once he made it to the dining pavilion he grabbed himself an apple. "Hey, there sunshine." Will smiled coming up to Nico.

"Hello," Nico mumbled.

Will sat next to Nico and grabbed his hand, Nico blushed red. He still wasn't used to being touched the way Will did. Affection wasn't something he was used to. Nico hid his face from Will, Will laughed. Nico loved his laugh, it was always eccentric and happy.

Nico felt like he was a burden sometimes like he was just taking up unnecessary space. But Will always made sure that Nico's thoughts weren't true. He made sure Nico was always happy and never alone. 

That's what Nico loved the most about Will. Will just loved making Nico blush. Nico hated giving Will the satisfaction of making him blush. Nico was a difficult being at times.

Will kissed the back of Nico's hand. "So, what do you want to do today?"

"Imma do the same as every day. Train, Nap, Eat, Nap, Eat, sleep."

"Aww come on neeks, lets go to the strawberry fields."

Nico grumbled before giving in. "Fine, but only because you forced me."

Will laughed, "Okay, sure I did."

Nico looked away and took a bite of his apple.

"Why are you eating so little?"

"I don't have much of an appetite these days."

"Nonsense, I saw you eat two cheeseburgers, large fries, a ten-piece of chicken nuggets, AND a big mac. You also had a couple of sodas with that."

Nico went red, "So what? I was hungry."

"Which means you do have an appetite, so, eat a little more." 

Nico grumbled something in Latin. "Fine, I'll eat a little more." Nico pulled some food off of Wills's plate. Will grabbed one of his grapes and held it up to Nico. Nico opened his mouth and Will placed it in. 

Nico didn't realize what he was doing at the time. That means that Nico kept being fed by Will and wasn't processing it. That also means that When Will ran out of food, Nico was with his mouth open waiting for more. Will laughed and pulled Nico closer.

Nico blushed pretended that he wasn't waiting for food by yawning. Will kissed Nico softly, you could hear the other campers whisper. Normally trying to write another fan fiction about them, Nico came across one once and spent a week in the underworld trying to die from embarrassment.

He was dramatic like his dad sometimes. Will stood up and grabbed his hand. "Let's go take a nap then," he smiled at Nico.

"Alright, hold on..." Nico said before he shadow traveled them both to the Hades cabin.

Nico made his way to his bathroom when he made it back to remove his contacts. He knew how many steps it was to the bed. He began counting once he got out. One.... two.... three...

it was ten steps, he felt Will grab his arm and pull him into the bed. Will was close enough for Nico to see him a little clearer. He wasn't as blurry as he is in a distance. 

"Blanket or no blanket?" Will asked.

Sometimes Will was like a personal heater because he's always so warm. Son of Apollo am I right? "Blanket duh, who takes a nap without a blanket?"

"I mean I do sometimes."

"Yeah but you're weird."

"Says the one who needs glasses." Will laughed.

"You know?"

"Of course I know, you legit have your glasses on the table and I can sense it. I heard you counting on the way here."

"I hope you know that you're a little blur of yellow."

Will grabbed Nicos glasses and slid them on Nico's face. "Perfection, you see."

"What do you mean?"

"You're beautiful even with your glasses on. Even more so because now, you're the real you."

Nico laughed and took his glasses off again, "You're cheesy, plus I'm tired so I'm gonna sleep now." 

Will laughed and pulled Nico close, Nico laid his head on his chest. Will pulled the blanket up to Nico's chin and wrapped his arms around him.

They fell asleep with their legs intertwined with each other. It was a good day for a nap.
