Room 507, Sunday Afternoon

[dontvotemeout]

After spending Friday night sleeping in the labyrinth, getting to crash in his bed last night had almost been a treat for Jason. He hadn't bothered setting an alarm for this morning, figuring that after dealing with groping hands and violent goblins he deserved to sleep in a little, so he hadn't been awake all that long even though the morning had long since passed. When he'd woken up, he'd found that fighting his way out with the others was finally taking its toll, and he was scratched up and sore enough that just staying in bed for a little while longer seemed like a great idea.

Jason laughed and nudged Nico back. "I meant at home. I know that here us mortals have badgered you into speaking to us sometimes."

"I happen to like talking to you mortals," Nico told him, reaching a hand under the blanket to poke at Jason's side. "But yes, I talk to demigods at camp. And nymphs and satyrs and everyone else."

[dontvotemeout]

Jason shifted a little closer to Nico, and tried to grab his hand under the blanket. "So, it sounds like talking to ghosts is just part of that," he said. "Can you talk to anyone you want, or do you just get a random ghost when you want to have a chat?"

[deaths-demigod.livejournal.com]

"Almost anyone," Nico shared, his hand taken captive. "I can summon them to me. Well, I mean, there's a whole need for a pit and an offering, but they show up if I ask." Everyone except for his mother.

"That's awesome," Jason said in, well, awe. He intertwined his fingers with Nico's - so he couldn't poke him anymore, of course - and smiled. "There's so many people I'd want to talk to that I'd probably end up abusing the power. It's probably good I don't have that skill."

"Yeah, I tried my best to work the advantages when I was younger," Nico admitted a little embarrassed. "Sometimes it's best to let the dead be. Who would you want to see?"

[dontvotemeout]

"My mom," Jason said, without missing a beat. "Maybe my grandparents too, 'cause they were dead before I was born, so I only know them from the stories my mom told. I bet I could think of a few famous people too, but I bet their offerings have to be bigger, huh?" He was totally trying to learn here.

[deaths-demigod.livejournal.com]

"No, the offerings just have to be respectful," Nico explained, wondering if Jason's mother would be off-limits as his was. "Percy laughs, but when I was first learning, my offering of choice was a Happy Meal and coke. I figured if I liked it, they would, too. It worked for the most part."

[dontvotemeout]

"That sounds adorable," Jason said, snickering a little. "I assume you were young then?" he added, since his mental image of this was of a weetiny Nico with Happy Meal.

[deaths-demigod.livejournal.com]

"Shut up. It was like, six years ago," Nico said, elbowing at Jason for the adorable since he still tended to give offerings in a similar manner.

"So I was right," Jason said, elbowing Nico back. "See, it finally happened."

[deaths-demigod.livejournal.com]

"Finally. Took a while to happen," Nico teased. "Are you going to throw a party?"

[dontvotemeout]

"Maybe I should throw a small one. Just for the present company," Jason said, leaning into Nico's personal space.

[deaths-demigod.livejournal.com]

"I've never been to a party that small," Nico replied, holding his position. "Are there hats involved?"

[dontvotemeout]

After a moment of hesitation, Jason decided that he still wanted to be closer, and moved over Nico's lap under the blanket to try to straddle him. "I don't think I have any. I'm afraid we're gonna have to do without."

[deaths-demigod.livejournal.com]

That was definitely close, but Jason wouldn't hear a complaint about it from Nico. "I think you're already on the way to making that work for you." Especially since Nico was all about reaching his hands out to find Jason's thighs under the blanket.

[dontvotemeout]

"Really? You don't mind?" Jason teased, reaching down to try to get his fingertips under Nico's shirt.

[deaths-demigod.livejournal.com]

"I don't think I could manage even pretending to mind," Nico answered, his muscles tensing at the warm touch as if to prove his words.

[dontvotemeout]

"Oh good. I wouldn't want you to have to fake anything," Jason said, moving his hands up a little more. "I think a quiet party might be more fitting, since it's just the two of us."

[deaths-demigod.livejournal.com]

"You might get your second time being right out of it," he realized, his own hands getting a feel for what sort of pants Jason slept in.

[dontvotemeout]

"I might?" Jason asked, trying to sound teasing. Then again, his pants were a little worn and thin, so he was feeling Nico's hands like there was almost nothing between them, and that was getting kind of distracting. "I think you mean I'm definitely going to be right, because my idea is awesome."

[deaths-demigod.livejournal.com]

"Okay, so it's an awesome idea," he agreed, leaning forward with a smirk for that tease. "And very original." And, as far as Nico could remember, this was the first party where he'd gotten felt up.

[dontvotemeout]

That bit of leaning forward was all the incentive Jason needed to move in too and give Nico a kiss, feeling him up more in the process. Both things were equally fun to him, really.

[deaths-demigod.livejournal.com]

Both things being fun for him, Nico took the opportunity to slide his hands around to grope Jason's ass. What better way to show his appreciation for Jason's straddling position.

Jason made a sharp noise against Nico's mouth, and kissed him harder. He was feeling quite a bit appreciated at the moment, and he wanted Nico to feel that way too.
