Room 507, Thursday Daytime

[dontvotemeout]

It had taken a few weeks, but Jason had finally come to terms with the fact that with Tim back in Gotham, his room was all his own. It was crazy to have so much space all to himself, and he knew he was probably tempting fate into giving him a roommate from the new kids coming in, but if everything in the room was his now, Jason was going to rearrange it all to look how he wanted. If he did end up with a new roommate, well, they'd just have to deal because he was here first. At least, that was how he was telling himself it would work as he moved things around.

Nico appreciated the way Jason perked up and he smiled a little. "Uh huh. You're probably dangerous in a lot of ways beyond that whole beating things up with your fists thing I've heard about."

[dontvotemeout]

"Really?" Jason asked, looking at Nico like doing that would tell him how the other boy's mind worked. "How do you think I'm dangerous?"

[deaths-demigod.livejournal.com]

Nico didn't know how to react to that sort of look, but he didn't flinch away. "You pay attention."

[dontvotemeout]

"How does that make me dangerous?" Jason asked. "It just makes me, you know, observant."

"Intelligence plus observation equals dangerous deductions," Nico told him, tapping his chest in time with the words. "I'm betting I should keep my evil master plans far from your radar."

[dontvotemeout]

The reminder that Nico thought he was smart made Jason feel really good, and he smirked as he looked down at Nico's hand. "Right, 'cause you're totally the kind of guy with evil master plans. I think if you ever end up like that, I'll know no matter how far you get from my radar."

"Because you're that good or I'm that bad?" Nico wondered, still amused.

[dontvotemeout]

"Well, I'm good, and I don't think you'd be good at being bad," Jason said. "So, it'd be easy to notice."

[deaths-demigod.livejournal.com]

Oh Jason, so young and trusting. "You might be surprised by how naturally it comes to me. These things are supposed to be genetic, after all."

[dontvotemeout]

"Yeah, but is your dad...okay, so he's not the best person," Jason said. "Do you think it's inevitable you'll be like him?"

[deaths-demigod.livejournal.com]

"Oh gods no, I was kidding," Nico assured him. No matter how often his eyes reminded people of his dad, Nico desired acceptance far too much to go that route. "Not that he'd mind if I went that way."

[dontvotemeout]

Jason made a face at that, and scooted closer to Nico. "I'll let you know if I see it happening. Unless you want to be evil to people who deserve it," he said, trying to tease.

[deaths-demigod.livejournal.com]

Nico leaned over Jason a bit, so upset he was closer, really. "Only if they really deserve it. Like if they took the last filled donut or something."

[dontvotemeout]

"Oh, yeah, your priorities are totally in tact," Jason said, laughing. "I feel so safe right now."

[deaths-demigod.livejournal.com]

"You don't look very safe," Nico agreed, his hand tracing over Jason's shirt. "Good thing you've never stolen my donuts or I'd have to take advantage."

[dontvotemeout]

Jason looked down at Nico's hand as he scooted a little closer. "So, the lesson here is that I should never touch your food, unless I want you to take advantage of me?" he said.

[deaths-demigod.livejournal.com]

"It sounds really dirty when you put it that way," Nico said, chuckling a bit as he put his leg over Jason's. "And like I'm food-obsessed."

[dontvotemeout]

"Hey, you're the one who mentioned taking advantage," Jason pointed out.

[deaths-demigod.livejournal.com]

"Then it's good I wasn't planning on it right now," Nico replied. Sure he was leaning over Jason and had a hand and a leg on him, but that didn't mean he was going to start something. Or so he would claim.

[dontvotemeout]

"You weren't? Maybe I'm not as observant as I thought," Jason teased. "Or you're very sneaky."

[deaths-demigod.livejournal.com]

"No, I'm just cold," Nico joked. "This is simply an attempt to stay warm." Like it was proof, he reached to tug at Jason's shirt and touch a chilled finger to his skin. "See?"

[dontvotemeout]

Jason gasped a little at how cold Nico's finger was, and reached to try to grab his hand. "Wow, you really do need to be warmed up," he said. "Are you sure you don't want to take any advantage?"

[deaths-demigod.livejournal.com]

Jason could hold Nico's hand all he wanted; Nico was busy smirking at that gasp. "I told you. It would be unfair to take advantage, after all. Like I just came to see you to get in your pants or something."

[dontvotemeout]

"You mean you didn't come to see me to get in my pants?" Jason asked, rubbing Nico's hand gently between his to warm it up.

[deaths-demigod.livejournal.com]

Nico watched Jason's hands work, feeling the warmth surrounding his own hand. "Hey, I'm not rejecting you being pantsless, simply saying I came to see you with no ulterior motive."
