A Kiss at One in the Morning
Nico lay in bed next to Will. The chilly Winter air seemed to be unable to penetrate the blanket they snuggled in. Nico's back felt warm; it was pressed up against Will's stomach, his arm draped over Nico. It was after midnight, nearing one in the morning. Nico felt so tired, yet he was unable to fall asleep. He turned around to face Will. "Will?" he asked tentatively. No response. "Will?" he asked again, this time a bit louder. "Hhmyeah?" Will replied groggily. "Are you awake or asleep?" Nico whisper-asked. "I am both awake and asleep." Will whispered back. "I want to kiss you." Nico told him, still whispering. Will opened his eyes somewhat surprised. He whispered, "Right now? Why?" "I don't know. I just want to." Nico quietly admitted. Will smiled and nodded. He shifted so that he was laying on his back. Nico crawled up on top of him, straddling his hips. He learned forward, placing his lips on Will's. Will's arms wrapped around Nico's waist and Nico slid his hands underneath Will's shirt, feeling Will's smooth, hard chest. This continued for a few minutes before Nico rolled off and placed his head on Will's arm. "You're amazing." Will told him. "Why?" Nico asked. "I don't know. You're just amazing. You're an amazing kisser, you have amazing eyes, and you're amazingly adorable." Will kissed the top of Nico's head. "Those things don't mean anything, Will." Nico said. "You're also amazingly loyal. And brave. And kind. And strong." "I have noodle arms." "Not that kind of strong. I mean mentally strong. You persevered through Tartarus and delivering the Athena Parthenos. You may not think it, but to me, you're the most amazing person in the world. I love you." Will told him. Nico smiled. "You remind me of sunshine. Everything about you reminds of of sunshine. You're so helpful and generous and beautiful. I love it when you smile. It makes me feel all mushy inside. I feel safe and protected whenever you're with me. I love you too." "You're a sap." Will said. "You're the sap." Nico replied. Will kissed Nico on the lips. "We're both saps. Now go to sleep." At one in the morning was when Nico fell asleep. *** Sorry for the inactivity! Reminder that I also take requests :)
