“Come on, just blend already…”
Nico huffed, glaring at the painted canvas in front of him. He was attempting to paint a sunset for his boyfriend, but it wasn’t exactly going as planned.
Will had advised him to paint more. Mr. D off-handedly mentioned art therapy to him a few times, and the black-haired teen had taken quite a liking to it. Something about creating things from his mind and controlling their outcome was both calming and regulating for him.
Since Will liked handmade gifts best, Nico figured a painting was a good present for their upcoming anniversary. Unfortunately, he’d forgotten just how long properly blending and mixing yellow with other colors could take. His desk in the Hades cabin was littered with paint-streaked paper towels and various brushes.
Nico had finally gotten the clouds to look right when he was startled by a knock at the cabin door. With a jolt, he quickly brushed all the dirty paper towels off his desk and into his trash, hiding the brushes in a drawer.
“Hey Ghosty, the door’s locked. Can I come in?” Will’s voice came in through the door, as loving and chipper as ever.
Crap, right, I said he could come over…
“Uh, yeah, one sec!”
Hurriedly, Nico hid the painting in his desk, making sure it wouldn’t get ruined. Once he was sure it was secure, he rushed over to open the door.
He should’ve known Will would clock his behavior.
“Is everything okay? You look a little… I dunno, frazzled.”
While Will’s concern is well-placed, Nico really couldn’t afford to explain himself. There was no way he was going to spoil the surprise, especially not because of his own forgetfulness.
“Yep, all good. Just…thinking about stuff. Training stuff.” Internally, Nico cringed at how phony his excuse sounded. He was a pretty good liar, but when it came to Will, he was helpless.
“Uh-huh,” Will drawled, crossing his arms. He saw right through his boyfriend’s bullshit. He could tell whatever Nico was hiding wasn’t serious; some silliness was more than called for. “Is that your final answer?”
“Will, c’mon,” he groaned, running a hand down his face. By the look on Will’s face, there was no lying his way out of trouble. “Can’t I just have some random, unimportant stuff on my mind?”
“Not my Death Boy.”
With a crack of his knuckles, Will lunged at his boyfriend. Nico tried to run, but after some laughs and a playful scuffle, the shorter teen was pinned beneath Will, arms above his head.
“Get off, you brute!” Kicking and squirming, Nico tried to free himself. He knew he was screwed, but the teen was never one to go down without a fight.
If Nico wanted a fight, he was definitely going to get one. Will moved his free hand to his boyfriend’s side, gently spidering his fingers across the ticklish skin.
“Wihihihill!” Nico squeaked, face quickly heating at the sound of his own giggles. His sides were pretty ticklish, and his laughter always got embarrassingly high-pitched when they were targeted. “Quihihihihit!”
Will chuckled at the adorable reaction, tracing little shapes on Nico’s sides. “Gladly. If you tell me what stuff you were thinking about.”
“Ihihi cahahan’t!” Nico shook his head, trying to pull his arms down. Why did Will have to be so strong? Nico could definitely fight, but when it came to physical strength, Will had him beat. He wouldn’t use it against the gloomy teen often, of course, but it was still annoying.
“Why not? You know I’m not gonna judge you, Nico,” Will questioned, letting just a touch of seriousness slip into his tone. He was still being playful, but he wanted Nico to know that he didn’t have to hide things from him.
“Ihi knohohow, buhut— I juhust cahahan’t!”
Will carefully examined Nico’s body language, looking for any serious signs of discomfort. Thankfully, he found none; Nico simply seemed giddily anxious about being tickled. Still, since it was a matter of secrets, Will decided to take a gentler approach.
Climbing off Nico, Will pulled the other teen into his lap, wrapped his arms around him, and rested his head in the crook of his boyfriend’s neck. Once he was sure Nico was comfortable, Will started nuzzling and placing little kisses on his neck.
“Youhuhu suhuck,” Nico whined, half-heartedly squirming in Will’s grip. He loved neck kisses—even if they tickled—and the blonde knew that. He was such a cheater!
“C'mon, Sunshine. Just tell me.”
Will’s lips traveled along the side of Nico’s neck, his soft curls nuzzling against the poor teen’s ear as he went. As nice as it was to get all the attention, it tickled so bad.
The son of Hades simply resigned to his fate, going limp in his boyfriend's lap. Will's evil little kisses continued to drive his nervous system nuts, and his ears were bright pink with a flustered blush.
Eventually, Will noticed just how tired Nico was getting. He reluctantly stopped, placing one last kiss on Nico’s cheek.
“You are so stubborn, Nico,” Will huffed, moving a hand up to gently scratch his boyfriend's scalp. The sight of him all flushed and giggle-drunk was rather adorable, so he couldn't complain too much.
“Uhugh… Th-the stuff is a surprise, you jerk.”
Nico's words came out as an adorably raspy growl, and it took everything Will had not to coo. Right, Nico was annoyed with him, and teasing wouldn't help get that lovely little scowl off his face.
“Ooooh. Why didn't you say so?”
The sounds of an indignant squawk and laughter soon filled the Hades cabin, carrying on long into the afternoon. At the end of the day, the secret of the painting was preserved, and a certain blonde was very happy when their anniversary rolled around.
