Chapter Text
Will walked easily into the Hades cabin with intentions to see his lover. He found the raven sitting at his desk, Mythomagic cards in hand. “What do you want?” Nico groaned, but put down the cards and put himself to his boyfriends chest. “Hello to you too, ” Will said with a smile as he draped his hands around Nico’s waist.
“Whatdu’ you wan’” Nico slurred, the sound muffled by Will’s chest. “Can I not want to spend time with my beloved boyfriend?” Will asked with a playful pout, bringing a hand up to ruffle Nico’s hair.
Nico’s hand shot up and gripped Will’s wrist, the one that was reaching to ruffle his hair. “No” he commanded, tightening his grip on Will’s wrist. “Why?” Will asked, a smile playing on his lips. “Cause’ I don’t want my hair to get messed up” Nico retorted, his grip on Will’s hand loosening slightly.
Will took this opportunity to move his hand to ruffle Nico’s hair. “No!” Nico scoffed, holding Will’s wrist tightly as it hovered over Nico’s head.
“I want to ruffle your hair” Will whined, his hand falling pliant. Nico used this to try and move his hand away from his head. “I don’t want my hair to fall a different way, I won’t be able to get it feeling exactly how it was before” Nico groaned. Will knew how Nico was sensitive to certain things like that and decided against coiffing his hair.
Will sighed. “Alright, but can I pet your head?” Will asked. “No, that’s weird” Nico retorted, rolling his eyes. “It is not” Will spat back. “Is to” Nico implored.They went on fighting like that about letting Will pet Nico’s head.
Will could tell this argument was getting nowhere and decided to just take action. “Hey!” Nico squeaked. “Shh~” Will coaxed and he began to pet Nico’s head. Nico playfully pouted. “Meanie” he croaked as he nuzzled into Will’s chest. Will chuckled as he kept petting the raven’s soft hair.
“I stand by my words, this is weird” Nico mumbled into Will’s chest. “Is not” Will said back in a playful tone. Nico only rolled his eyes and snuggled into Will’s chest more. ‘I feel like an animal in a petting zoo’ Nico giggled a bit at the sudden thought.
“Oh? Have you realized that you’re wrong yet?” Will beamed as he noticed his boyfriend’s laughter. Nico scoffed. “Course’ not because I’m right,” Nico teased. “Oh are you now?” Will joked, moving his arms to wrap around Nico’s shoulders as he set his chin atop of Nico’s head.
“Yep” Nico stated, sighing as he leaned into Will’s shoulder so Will was more comfortable on top of his head.
“Your head is comfy” Will noted, out of the blue. Nico blinked 3 times in a row, “That’s good I guess?” He guessed, uncertainty noticeable in his tone. “What do you want me to say to that?” He joked. “Dunno” Will replied with a shrug, repositioning his chin’s position on Nico’s head.
Nico chuckled. “What, is my head your chin’s shelf now?” He crossed his arms and rolled his eyes. “Yep,” Will said happily, burrowing his nose in Nico’s hair slightly to not move it too much. “Gods, does the Hades cabin have a heater?” Will groaned, lifting his head off of Nico’s and looking Nico in the eyes. “I have a little plug in one” Nico offered, pointing over to the little black heater that was plugged in by his nightstand.
Will walked over and put it on full blast. “You cold or something?” Nico asked, laughing a bit at how eager Will turned on the heater. “Your cabin is colder than Antarctica, that’s probably why you steal all of my hoodies” Will said with a smirk as he drove a finger into Nico’s cheek. “Hey! Your hoodies are comfortable” Nico pouted, turning his head to the side as he glanced at the ground. Heat rushed to his cheeks as he tried to defend himself. “I think it’s cute that you’re the hoodie stealer in this relationship” Will said with a laugh as he re-wrapped his arms around Nico’s waist.
Nico pouted into Will’s chest, hiding his flushed cheeks. Will tilted Nico’s head back to look at him using a finger that he had put under Nico’s chin. He gave him a little kiss on the forehead. Nico flushed more at the gesture and swatted Will’s hand away from his chin. “My sweet little ball of darkness” Will mused as his hand traced Nico’s jawline. “I am not sweet” Nico protested, swatting Will’s hand away yet again. “Alright then my mean little ball of darkness” Will pouted. “I’m not mean either!” Nico huffed. Will rolled his eyes.
“Then just my little ball of darkness?”
“Yep, just your little ball of darkness.”
