Dress-up (ft. Estelle :))

(Nico POV)

I guess I shouldn't have grumbled in front of Will about being bored, because now I'm stuck in Percy's house with Will, babysitting a child.

"Come here, Estelle..." Will cooed, clearly enjoying this.

I stare at Will silently. Quietly admiring him as he stroked Estelle's hair gently, a warm smile gracing his lips. A part of me secretly wished that was my hair he was caressing oh so tenderly...

Maybe this wouldn't be so bad, maybe babysitting this summer would be alright, as long as Will is here...

I was snapped out of my thoughts, as i felt a giggling form crawl onto my lap, before feeling it tug on my hair.

"Ellie, that hurts," I protest, before i feel my hair being twisted into tiny plaits, and I feel another larger, warmer pair of hands join in the plaiting. I instantly recognised the familiar gesture, leaning into his touch almost unconsciously.

"Soleggiato, why are you encouraging this...?" I grumble, hugging my knees but sitting still anyways and letting them have their fun.

"Because it's fun, and it's cute seeing you finally being non-prickly around a species that isnt the undead or cats, though it might be a small child, it's a start!" Will said, his voice a little too cheery for my liking. I sigh in resignation, having accepted my fate.

"Can we dress Nico up now, Will? Please..."Estelle whined, just as I was about to protest, the pleasing look on Will's face made me freeze. His wide, puppy dog eyes immediately melted all my resolve. My mouth dried, and I reluctantly nodded, trying to conceal the pained expression on my face.

"You can only dress me up if you give Will a makeover too, Ellie, deal?" I watch as Will raises and eyebrow, but his smirk didn't waver.

Estelle nodded her head eagerly, a mischievous smile dancing in her lips as she dragged the two of us into Percy's closet, (where some of Annabeth's clothes were kept), and began enthusiastically sifting through clothes.

(WILLS POV)

I drag Nick to the side while Estelle was still busy, sitting at Percy's desk, which held Annabeth's makeshift vanity.

"Since we're getting all dressed up, might as well go all out, right?" I smirk, watching a confused expression flash across his face.

"What do you mean-" I cut off his sentence by starting to dab foundation on his too pale cheeks, giving him the full makeover.
A blush slowly blooms on his cheeks. Though I half expected him to pull away, I watched in satisfaction, as he sits still, letting me doll him up.

"I hate you, you know?" He mutters under his breath. I chuckle slightly, nodding only to humour him. I move on to dusting blush over his cheeks, returning some of the colour to his pale complexion, and smile at my handiwork.

"Do you feel pretty?" I tease, trying to rile him up.

"Where did you get this makeup from...?" He asked, looking slightly confused.

"I stole Annabeth's, but who's gonna tell her?"

"No one..."

"Exactly," I smirk, before ruffling his hair, the braids from earlier still mingling with the rest of his waves.

(NICOS POV)

"Sit still soleggiato, it's your turn now," I snatched the brush from his hand, before doing a slightly poorer job on him that he did for me. He smiles nonetheless, nearly making me blush.

"Trying to make me pretty, Nico?"

"Trying to make you prettier than you already are, Solace," I smirk as i finally got the reaction I wanted, watching as a deep flush spreads across his cheeks. I finish the look off with a swipe of lipgloss on his cheeks. He flutters his mascara coated eyelashes at me, making the both of us burst into laughter.
