Room 507, Sunday Evening

[dontvotemeout]

The one downside to Bruce knowing exactly what day it was in Fandom was that he was completely aware that Jason was going back before he needed to. There was a whole week of break left - almost another month in Gotham - and Jason easily could have stayed. But the truth was, he missed the island. He missed his friends, and just as much, he missed the independence he had here. He loved being Robin, there was no denying that, but sometimes, going back to following someone else's rules was hard, especially when that someone was Bruce Wayne.

After agreeing that he'd come home to Gotham again within the next few weeks, Bruce had agreed to let Jason head back to Fandom. He didn't have that much to pack - most of his Christmas presents had come in the form of clothes and money to buy modern things on the island - so that meant that when he got back to his room, he threw his bag down without bothering to unpack it. There'd be time for that later, and right now, he wanted to see if there was a position he could find on his bed that wouldn't make his latest set of bruises ache. If there was one thing that could be said about Fandom, at least he didn't get beaten up here as often.

"I don't see either," Jason said, using that as an excuse to run his fingers through Nico's hair. "I see really nice brown hair."

"Then the Mist is working overtime," Nico answered, tilting his head toward Jason's hand.

"You're such a liar," Jason said with a laugh, even as he played with Nico's hair more and tried to get closer to him. "I think you're naturally this hot, no Mist involved."

[deaths-demigod.livejournal.com]

"I am a liar," Nico confirmed, reaching to help pull Jason against him. "What you see is me, no evil son of Hades horns lurking under my hair or tail hidden in my pants."

[dontvotemeout]

"Mmmm, I could say something about what's in your pants, but I don't know if that would be a good idea," Jason teased. "You know, you didn't answer my other question." Because he wasn't so distracted by Nico's hotness that he forgot, at least not yet.

[deaths-demigod.livejournal.com]

"Did I? My bad." Maybe if he tilted his head and leaned in so he could press his lips to Jason's neck there wouldn't be need for more answers.

[dontvotemeout]

Jason had to admit, that was a nice distraction, and he tilted his head almost without thinking about it. "You did," he said. "Is that why you were surprised? 'Cause you didn't know I'd be here?"

[deaths-demigod.livejournal.com]

Clearly Jason needed Nico's hand in his hair and a little sucking action. "Mhmm," Nico murmured the affirmative, finding Jason's neck to taste much as he remembered.

[dontvotemeout]

Jason gasped softly, but tried to hold onto his question. "What if...what would you have done if I wasn't here?"

[deaths-demigod.livejournal.com]

Nico didn't think he could talk very well while working on Jason's neck, so he lifted his mouth closer to Jason's ear. "Slept." He didn't intend to sleep now, no.

[dontvotemeout]

The feeling of Nico's breath made Jason shiver a little and stay right where he was. "In my bed?" he asked quietly, smiling more as he pictured that. "Everything would have ended up smelling like you."

[deaths-demigod.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, lucky you don't have the nose of a hellhound," Nico chuckled to himself before kissing Jason's ear.

[dontvotemeout]

"I still would have noticed. Probably. I'm pretty observant," Jason said, turning his head to try to brush his lips over Nico's. "And it's okay. I told you you could stay here if you needed a place to hide. I'd just, you know, prefer if it was with me here too."

[deaths-demigod.livejournal.com]

"I think I'd like it better your way, too," Nico pointed out, trying for more than a light brush of the lips, but still pulling back after a second. "Thanks."

[dontvotemeout]

While they were pulled back, Jason figured it would be a good time to get his shirt off too, and leaned back to do just that. "Anytime," he said, grinning at Nico. "Seriously."

[deaths-demigod.livejournal.com]

Well that was just distractingly hot. "Seriously. You're kind of too awesome." Yeah, Nico was blaming Jason's shirtlessness for his own lack of sense.

[dontvotemeout]

"Too awesome?" Jason asked, leaning in to give Nico's neck a kiss, since Nico had given him the idea. "I don't know if that's possible."

[deaths-demigod.livejournal.com]

Nico sighed, closing his eyes for a moment. "Oh it is. You act like I'm normal or something." Or really, Jason didn't say anything about the cold, dead feeling some people noticed around Nico.

[dontvotemeout]

"Oh? I can treat you more worshipfully if you want," Jason teased, knowing that probably wasn't what Nico wanted. "If I'm treating you too normally, I mean."

[deaths-demigod.livejournal.com]

"So not where I was going," Nico said, settling his hands on Jason's shoulders. "I like the way you are."

[dontvotemeout]

"And I like treating you the way I do," Jason said. "So it all works out." Really, he was willing to put up with a lot in exchange for being around someone who cared about him.

[deaths-demigod.livejournal.com]

"Maybe I should be the one getting my worship on in here." Jason was putting up with Nico's presence and his stink, after all.

[dontvotemeout]

"Well...I mean, if you want to, I'm not going to discourage you or anything," Jason said. Really, who could be that stupid? It wasn't like he was making Nico act like that or anything.

[deaths-demigod.livejournal.com]

"Stop me if you're too sore," Nico instructed, leaning his head to see if he couldn't return to making a nice mark on Jason's neck. It was his version of worship, okay?

[dontvotemeout]

Even if Jason was too sore for that, he probably wouldn't have said anything because god, Nico's mouth felt good when he was marking him. Getting to look at the mark was a nice part too, especially now that he didn't have to worry about hiding things like that from Bruce for a while. "Not sore there," he said, his eyes fluttering shut. "That's good, really."
