Chapter Text
Percy had always gotten attached easily. It was in his nature. Even if he'd only known you for a day, you could become his favourite person in the world. You could break his heart by carrying on with your life even if you'd only spent an hour together. He always got attached.
Will had got stuck doing cabin inspections. It was the only reason he agreed to take a break from the infirmary.
Smiling, Will made his way out of the Zeus cabin, having just finished talking to Jason inside.
Bracing himself, Will made his way towards cabin three, hoping he won't do anything too embarrassing.
Knocking on the door, Will waited, confused when there was still no answer after five minutes.
Will checked the handle, happy to find that it was unlocked, and made his way inside the cabin.
What he found was probably the cutest thing he's ever seen.
Percy lay on his bed, a small wet patch on his pillow by his mouth - the boy still drooled in his sleep and everyone knew that - and his blanket was bunched up around his waist.
To top it all off, Percy was gripping tightly to a blue teddy bear, worn out with age by the looks of it.
Will racked his brain, trying to remember if anyone had told the poor boy that today was inspections. He assumed not, otherwise Percy wouldn't be clutching onto a teddy bear like his life depended on it.
Grinning slightly at the sight in front of him, Will looked around the room, choosing to let Percy sleep and go on ahead with his inspection alone.
The room looked clean enough, something Will knew for a fact it didn't usually.
The room seemed practically spotless, other than the small blue baby blanket that had obviously fallen off of Percy bed.
Smiling, Will picked up the blanket, placing it over the little blue bear that Percy was clutching to his chest. Grabbing Percy's blanket, Will pulled that up too, seeing as the boy had started to shiver slightly.
Will quietly made his way out of the cabin, hoping not to wake Percy up.
Percy freaked out internally when he first found out that today was cabin inspections. Apparently today's inspector had already graded his cabin and he didn't know who it was.
Percy had spent the whole day looking around. Wherever he went, he always made sure to look around, looking to find the person laughing and pointing at him.
He was waiting for the moment where someone would bring it up. Obviously whoever graded his cabin would have told everyone by now. Eventually, everyone would get sick of pretending they don't care and will start teasing him.
He doesn't think he'll be able to stand it happening a second time. After last time, he learnt that even 'true friends' will laugh at him for it.
Eventually, Percy had gotten sick of not knowing who it was. He needed to find out to at least calm some of his nerves.
Percy was just about to head to the big house to go and find Chiron when he saw Will heading out of the infirmary, obviously having been kicked out of it if the look on his face said anything.
Deciding that Will might know, Percy made his way over to him, a nervous smile on his face.
Will had to stop himself from cooing, the nervous look on Percy's face was too adorable.
"Hey, erm, do you... do you know who graded the cabins today? I think they came in whilst I was still asleep so I have no idea who did."
Will smiled, finding Percy's rambling cute. He nodded when he realised Percy was staring at him, hoping for an answer.
Percy gulped, feeling a bit scared of the answer.
"Who?"
"Me."
Percy's eyes widened and he went to run away when he felt a hand on his wrist.
"Hey, I thought it was cute. I'm not gonna make fun of you for cuddling with a teddy bear, okay?"
Despite being scared out of his mind, Percy couldn't help but feel slightly offended.
"He has a name you know." He mumbled, refusing to look Will in the eyes, worried he might laugh.
"I'm sorry. What's his name then?"
"Bluebell."
"Aww, that's cute."
Percy blushed, not used to people calling him cute. He wasn't really used to getting compliments in general.
Percy looked around, hoping no one else was looking. Most people had gone back to their cabins for now, the majority of classes were finished for the day.
Despite already knowing what the answer would be, Percy asked what he now considered to be a stupid question in this situation.
"You didn't... you didn't, tell anyone... did you?"
Will couldn't find it in himself to be offended, he knew that Percy was paranoid and that he just needed the confirmation.
"No. I wouldn't do that to you. Or anyone for that matter."
Percy smiled, feeling oddly proud of himself for knowing something without even having to be told. He knew Annabeth would never believe him if he told her.
Will watched as Percy smiled, a smile filled with pride, something Will could see even if Percy tried to hide it.
"Hey, seeing as I'm not allowed back into the infirmary for the rest of the week, how about we go and hang out. I need something to get my mind off it before I go storming in there like a mad man."
Percy giggled, making Will smile. It was his turn to hide the emotions in his smile. Only this time, his was love.
"Sure. We could go to my cabin if you want? I mean, I'm the only one in there so it will just be the two of us. Unless you don't want that then I'm sure we could find somewhere else."
Instead of using his words like any normal person, Will leaned in and pressed a kiss to Percy's lips, successfully shutting him up in the process.
Percy froze. Will had just kissed him. Will had just kissed him. Will Solace had just kissed him. Will Solace had just kissed hi-
He was broken out of his thoughts as Will pressed a kiss to his lips once more.
Okay, so maybe kissing him a second time wasn't such a good idea. Will was pretty sure he broke the poor boy. Percy's mouth was hung open, his face so red that Will could practically feel the heat coming from it.
Percy went to speak, the sound he made actually scaring him. Except he didn't know what sound he made.
Yep. Will had definitely broke the poor boy.
Smiling, Will gently took Percy's hand in his and dragged the older boy to his cabin, looking back several times to see if he was okay.
Once they reached Percy's cabin, Percy's face had calmed down a bit and he was now able to successfully close his mouth. Gods, that was so embarrassing.
Giggling slightly, Will opened the cabin door, indicating for Percy to walk in first before following him inside and closing the door behind him.
When Will turned around, he found Percy sitting cross-legged on his bed, his face still tinted a light shade of pink.
Will slowly made his way over to Percy's bed, sitting down in front of him and mirroring his position.
Percy had the sudden urge to lean forward and kiss Will, slightly scared of what would happen despite the two kisses they had already shared.
Timidly, Percy slowly leaned in and connected his lips with Will's, bringing his hands up to rest on the boy's cheeks.
Will kissed back immediately, letting one of his hands tangle in Percy's hair and resting the other on the boy's waist.
They stayed like that for about a minute, Will's hand gripping tightly into Percy's hair until he heard him moan.
They finally broke apart, Will's lips turning up into a grin and Percy's face flushing once more. Oh gods, he had just moaned.
Will giggled at the horrified look on Percy's face, deciding to tease the flustered boy a bit.
"Did you like that, huh? Got a thing for hair pulling?"
Percy shakily exhaled, waiting for the inevitable to happen.
"Y-yeah."
Percy's head shot up when he felt Will's lips against his cheek, surprised when he didn't hear the younger boy's laughs.
Will rolled his eyes at the shocked look on Percy's face, deciding to file the information away for later however. Not only was he going to explore more of the boy's kinks, he was also going to find out who made the boy so insecure about them.
Making eye contact, Will was only slightly surprised to see a lone tear making it's way down Percy's face.
Reaching up, Will gently wiped the tear away, pulling Percy into a tight hug straight after.
"There's nothing wrong with that, okay? Besides, now I know a bit about turning you on. You're gonna tell me about any other kinks you have, yeah? You wouldn't want me to struggle with turning you on would you? How else would I get you writhing beneath me?"
Will thought he might have gone a bit too far until he heard Percy giggle, looking down to see the boy hiding his face in his chest.
Will smiled, pressing a kiss to Percy's head.
"Will you stay with me tonight? It gets kinda lonely in here on my own. Not to like... do anything of course. Just to like... cuddle. Or you could sleep on one of the other beds if you want. There's definitely enough spare ones."
Will nodded, removing his arms from around Percy so he could get up.
"I could give you some clothes if you want? Unless you want to go back to your cabin to get some."
"Sure, why don't you pick some out for me?"
It was almost comical how much Percy's face brightened at that.
Percy grinned, running over to his closet and opening it, almost falling inside in his haste to get clothes for the both of them.
Once he was done, Percy handed will a set of pyjamas, letting Will walk into the bathroom to get changed.
Once he had finished getting changed, Will headed out of the bathroom only to find Percy pulling up a pair of pyjama bottoms, his back faced to Will, giving him a nice view of his ass.
Will subconsciously licked his lips, having to restrain himself from just running up to Percy and pushing him down onto the bed.
Will coughed, letting Percy know he was there.
Percy jumped slightly at the sound of a cough behind him, not used to there being someone else in his cabin at night.
Seeing as they were both dressed, they got into bed, cuddling close to one another as Percy hid his face away from Will, trying not to cry.
Will switched off the lamp on the nightstand on his side of the bed, having already turned off the main light.
After about five minutes of cuddling, Will had slowly drifted off, loving the feeling of having Percy in his arms.
It was probably about ten minutes later when Will woke up to the sound of quiet sobs, looking down at his chest to see Percy crying.
"Hey, calm down. Shh. What's wrong Percy?"
Percy was obviously embarrassed about waking him up, not to mention the fact that he was crying.
Percy sniffled, hiding his face in Will's chest once more.
"I can't sleep without Bluebell."
Will's heart broke at the way Percy's voice cracked at the end, not realising how important Bluebell was to Percy. He'd assumed the boy just cuddled with it every so often. He didn't know that he couldn't sleep without it.
Will gently ran his fingers through Percy's hair, trying to calm the distraught boy before asking him where the bear was.
"He's u-under my b-bed. In the black b-box."
Will smiled, kissing Percy's forehead before getting out of bed and searching for the black box.
When he found it, he opened it to find the blue teddy bear and baby blanket from earlier as well as a few other little trinkets.
Grabbing the bear, Will closed the box and placed it back under the bed, climbing back in beside Percy and handing him the bear.
"T-thank you."
It took a few minutes for the sniffling to stop, Bluebell helping to calm Percy down.
Once he had calmed down enough, Will began running his fingers through Percy's hair, humming a lullaby he had heard from Nico. Apparently it was the one Sally used to sing to Percy when he was a kid.
Will was quietly singing now, still running his fingers through Percy's hair, feeling slightly guilty Percy was in this situation. He'd made Percy insecure about his teddy bear, the teddy bear that helps him sleep.
Percy could barely keep his eyes open now, the mixture of Bluebell in his arms and Will's fingers in his hair making him tired enough, Will's beautiful singing making it even harder to stay awake.
"Not... your... fault."
With that said did Percy fall asleep, Will following not long after, both with happy smiles on their faces.
