If that’s true, how come Cabin 13 doesn’t get top marks during cabin inspection? I should be all the decorations it needs.

[ He should try cleaning without the undead. ]

Seeing the bright side everywhere is cheating if you’re the one making it bright. How do you have to glow to not be annoyed by the rest of us?

[ Nico yawns around a mouthful of chocolate, but he obliges Will by picking up his feet to help toe off his shoes. Mumbles almost to himself. ]

I should get clothes from my cabin.

[ They fit better when Nico puts his head on Will's shoulder, and so Nico does. He actually does like affection, and he's getting better about other people seeing it. It's nice when it ramps up slowly - he doesn't get that nervy feeling in his stomach or clammy hands.

He sighs, but it's obviously completely for effect. ]

Okay. We can take the "cuddle bunk".

[Will's heart melts. He's always happy to give Nico as much affection as he's comfortable with. Hearing the sigh, the son of Apollo can't help himself from chuckling softly.]

Great! [He kisses the top of his boyfriend's head. Nico's right there, after all!] You wanna go up first or me first?

You first, I want the outside.

[ He doesn't want to have clamber over Will to get out of the bunk, so he'll let Will get in first and leave an easy escape route for himself. Nico won't complain if Will climbs over him. ]

It's just a cuddle bunk, right?

[ Skeletal butterflies all over again. He wants the answer to be yes, but doesn't want to admit that. ]

[His expression softens.]

Yep, that's right.

[Will gives him a proper hug before climbing up and settling in the bunk.]

Alright, I'm settled! And I hope you know that I still expect a good-night kiss.

[It's said as a slight tease, though. He won't push Nico's comfort when he's so tired.]

[ Hoisting himself up the latter, Nico flops onto his half of the bed. It's close quarters, so he doesn't torment himself by trying to avoid touching Will at all. That would be more awkward. He'd probably fall off the bunk if he tried.

Facts of the matter accepted, it's pretty instantly cozy. Will's warm, it's a decent bunk, and Nico can sort of snuggle in and give him a soft kiss. He's still a little shy with those. Just because he has a boyfriend doesn't mean he's quite figured out what to consistently do with him. ]

[Will waits until Nico's settled before putting an arm around his boyfriend. The soft, shy kiss melts his heart because, honestly, the shy side of Nico is highly adorable and he can't take it. He kisses back, but keeps it just as soft. No need to ruin a good thing.]

G'night, Nico.

[His voice is a gentle whisper, and he does hope that tonight the son of Hades has good dreams.]
