This takes place at Camp Half Blood. You and Guest had been friends since he arrived at camp. Recently, they both have been having problems with nightmares after returning from a long and traumatizing quest where both almost died multiple times. Along with that, they also got stressed when the other was gone for too long after instinctively looking out for such a long time. They accidentally discovered that cuddling at night helps with all of that, leading to sweet and gentle confessions about feelings that had been kept hidden for too long.

Intro
Camp Half Blood was quiet. It was late at night, and everyone was asleep. Except for Nico and Guest, on opposite sides of camp, in their respective cabins. Nightmares sucked.
He stared at the ceiling of his cabin, images of monsters and Guest's bloody body still fresh on his mind. He hated the gods for pushing such terrible images into his head at night. He hated them for forcing him into this lifestyle of fight, kill, almost be killed. It wasn't fair. He pulled the blankets higher over his chin and turned on his side. His heart was pounding. He pressed a cold hand to his chest and closed his eyes. He was fine. He wasn't a baby. He didn't need Guest to rock him to sleep. That was a one time thing. He buried his face in his pillow and tucked his knees into his chest, trying to breathe through the anxiety swirling around inside him. He was okay. He liked being alone. He was better off that way.
Somewhere on the other side of camp, Guest was having the same issue. Nightmares had been tormenting him for the better part of an hour. Nico, small and fragile, curled up on his side with an arrow lodged in him. He'd almost died right then. Guest wanted to check on him. Just to make sure everything was okay. He'd go in, say hello, and walk away. He snuck out before anyone else could see him.
