Will woke up to Nico shaking and sweating violently. He immediately knew what was going on. It had been happening a lot ever since the war with Gaea was over. Nico's hands were clutching Will's shirt.

"Sweetheart, wake up." Will said, gently shaking him. His heart ached as the smaller boy let out a small cry and shook even harder. "Sweetheart, please wake up. It's just a nightmare. Please, please wake up."

Nico's eyes fluttered and he immediately pushed himself up. His heart raced and his eyes stung. Will wrapped his arms around Nico as he shook.

"It's okay, sweetheart. This isn't Tartarus." Will murmured gently, trying to comfort him. Nico wrapped his arms around Will's torso tightly as the memories flooded his mind. His breathing was hard and uneven.

"Will-"

"It's okay, I know. I'm here." Will's voice soothed Nico's thought and he managed to stop shaking, but his arms were still wrapped tightly around Will. Will rubbed small circles into Nico's back as Nico hid his face in Will's neck.

As Will murmured comforting words and held him, Nico couldn't help but slowly let go of the dream and start focusing on how much Will meant to him. What would he even do if he wasn't there to help him with his nightmares? He didn't even wanna think about the possibility.

As he looked up at the blond boy he was utterly in love with, Nico couldn't help but sigh a little.

"I love you." Nico mumbled under his breath. His grip on Will loosened but became softer and his head rested on Will's shoulder. Though Nico thought he didn't hear, Will's heart raced at the words. It wasn't the first time Nico's ever said it, but it didn't matter.

"I love you too, sunshine." Will murmured. He placed a finger under Nico's chin and lifted up his face, bringing his face down to his. As their lips met, the usual hurricane returned to Nico's stomach.

"You are my sunshine, my only sunshine."

"Will-"

"You make me happy, when skies are gray."

"Uh-"

"You'll never know dear how much I love you. Please don't take my sunshine away."

"Will, you sound like a cat being stepped on." Nico almost giggled. Almost.

"It's the thought that counts." Will smiled, happy that Nico was slowly forgetting about his nightmare. They laid down on the bed with Nico's head on Will's shoulder and Will's arm around Nico.

"You're an idiot."

"Your idi-"

"Don't, please." Nico laughed. It was like music to Will's ears. It made him feel actually important and appreciated to know he was the only one who could make Nico laugh like that.

"You're so adorable!" Will coed and hugged Nico even tighter.

"Let go of- what are you doing, you dork?" Nico smiled slightly as Will started placing kisses all over his face and neck. Cheek, forehead, nose, chin, jawline, ear, neck.

"Will, stop." Nico tried pushing Will off but didn't try that hard because no matter how hard he tried, he could never say no to Will.

"Hey, sunshine?"

"Hmm?"

"I love you. A lot."

"I love you too. A lot."
