Usually, Nico could deal with Will Solace stealing the blanket. It happened almost every night, and it was pretty impossible to get back, so just accepting it was usually the best bet.
He found, however, that just accepting it was not easier, when it was the middle of winter, and it was snowing outside, for the gods' sakes. With any other person, he could have just given it a tug, maybe woken them up. And they could always go back to sleep.
But the case with Will Solace was not that simple. He was so hopelessly tangled that a gentle pull would probably land up with him unraveling and rolling over the side of the bed, onto the floor. And besides, he was such a light sleeper that even a slight nudge would've woken him.
And for Will Solace there was no such thing as just going back to sleep. No, Will Solace stayed up for hours afterwards and talked.
If he heard "Hey, Neeks, do you think fish actually know they're fish? Like what if we're all fish and we just don't know it?" in the middle of the night one more time.
Just getting up and getting a blanket was not an option. Even if he could get out of bed carefully enough, Will's grip on him was far too tight to allow escape.
Nico groaned, why did he insist on sharing a blanket with Will, even if he knew he'd have to suffer this.
It was not the first time this had happened. It wasn't even the first time this had happened this week. He internally cursed himself for his terrible decision-making. He internally cursed Will Solace.
His boyfriend's grip wasn't even enough to warm him up properly. He internally cursed New York for being so cold. So cold... He then proceeded to dedicate his next few hours to trying to wriggle out of Will's grip. Every time the other boy stirred, he froze, holding his breath until his boyfriend started snoring again.
He managed to make two inches. It'd only taken him half an hour's worth of shuffling. Bit on the bright side,(literally) the sun was just just beginning to peek over the horizon. Will usually woke up round about now anyway, so Nico was debating waking him up right about then, when the other one sat and, stretched and yawned.
"You're up early."
No comment.
"Oh, hey, I stole the blanket again. It was really cold last night, why didn't you just wake me?"
Nico had to make a conscious effort not to murder his boyfriend.
