Room 507, Saturday Evening

Jason and Nico had had every intention of going on an actual date tonight. At least, that had been the plan until their evening out had been cut short by an angry waiter who didn't understand that people had offerings of food to make, and that the fire hadn't been that big, and the napkins they'd used to snuff the flames were already were already frayed so they would have had to throw them out anyway.

The new plan involved pizza and the safety of Jason's room, which Jason decided should have been their plan all along. "I didn't even want to go to Outback, to be honest. Nothing on the menu looked as good as pizza," he said, trying to make Nico feel better as they sat down on his bed.

[For one!]

"I'm good?" Nico raised an eyebrow as he leaned back with some pizza. "You're so the first person to ever say that. And probably think that."

"I'm not always nice," he insisted. "Plus I hold grudges and have a temper and I might eat more than my share of this pizza." What? He was hungry.

"Since you have a piece, I guess that would be impossible. What do I get for being nicer?" Other than the pizza he was eating.

Nico sighed, clearly eating away his sorrow now. "I've always wanted a medal, too. I will just eat your pizza and pretend like there's a ribbon around my neck."

"Yes. The prettiest," Nico deadpanned, rolling his eyes at Jason. "Pink or something to go with all the black I wear. That's what you'd pick, right?"

"You say that, and somehow I'm still pretty sure I do wear black all the time. I mean, they didn't even try to enforce the orange camp shirt with me." Probably because he would look insane in orange. Insane.

"I liked it before I knew I was supposed to be blending in with the shadows," he supplied. "Too boring? Think I should branch out and go for the pink and green or something?"

Way to make Nico nearly blush, Jason. He tried to hide it in a slice of pizza. "Thanks. Um, so did you make it to the career fair thing?"

"Uh huh," he nodded, smirking just a little. "If I make it past my teens, I could have a promising career as a courier of illegal goods or as a bounty hunter."

"Right, when." It just wasn't all that likely considering everything in his life plus the typical demigod lifespan. "Interesting what careers the office thought I might be good at, though."

"You'd probably be surprised by how good I am at finding things people don't want found," Nico shared, going for more pizza. "Information, people. With the right motivation I'm pretty capable."

Nico laughed, "You think it sounds cool? They both sound a little like someone's setting me up to do evil."

"They guy talking about the bounty hunters suggested shooting first and not bothering with questions later," Nico informed him. "Didn't sound like it was on the up and up to me."
