Room 507, Monday Evening

[dontvotemeout]

The island seemed to be back to its normal state, just in time for classes to go on as usual, of course. Luckily, Jason only had two classes today, and with nothing to fight at the moment, he had the whole evening to relax. Or, to sort of relax. Nico still hadn't turned back into a person, so Jason still had a hellhound puppy on his lap as he flipped through some comic books. He wasn't going to start worrying yet though. That would just be silly. Probably.

[For the puppy!]

Jason's reading habits continued to be dorky in the way that they involved actually reading and not focusing on the rather large puppy currently pawing at the comics.

He perhaps wanted some attention.

Jason could only ignore the pawing for a minute before he was closing his comic. "Yes, can I help you?" he said. "Don't tell me you're hungry again."

[deaths-demigod.livejournal.com]

A big, furry paw reached up to smack at Jason's chest. He could help him by paying attention, yes.

Okay, and if there was food around it wasn't like this hellhound was going to say no.

Jason made an oof noise like Nico had knocked the wind out of him, partly because he was almost strong enough to do that. "I wish you could still talk as an animal," he said, reaching to scratch behind one of Nico's ears. "That'd make this whole thing so much easier."

[deaths-demigod.livejournal.com]

Hey, if Jason was going to scratch, the hellhound was going to lean and grumble and smash his forehead against Jason.

Which was a seriously strange position for Nico to suddenly return to his usual shape.

Uh...nakedly. And still grumbling.

[dontvotemeout]

"Uh," Jason said, staring at Nico. At some point, it would occur to him to move his hand. "Hi."

[deaths-demigod.livejournal.com]

And hopefully not crushing his...special friend. "Guess that's one way to get your attention," he quipped finally, lifting his head away from Jason's shoulder.

[dontvotemeout]

"You...definitely have my attention," Jason said, moving his hand to Nico's shoulder instead. "Wow, are you okay?"

[deaths-demigod.livejournal.com]

Nico lifted his hand off Jason's chest and looked it over. "I think so?" Other than his tongue feeling kind of heavy and his ass sort of cold. At least that was nothing new to Jason. "I no longer feel the urge to lick your face?"

[dontvotemeout]

"I appreciate that very much," Jason said, laughing. "I guess you don't need petting either, huh?"

[deaths-demigod.livejournal.com]

"Need, probably not." He wouldn't actually say no to petting from Jason. That would be incredibly stupid. "I should probably move." And try not to injure Jason as he started to move.

[dontvotemeout]

"You don't have to," Jason said. "Uh, unless you want to get more comfortable." But really, it wasn't like he was going to make Nico move that far away in his current naked state.

[deaths-demigod.livejournal.com]

Nico's eyebrow lifted in amusement. "You missed me, huh?" He figured he was allowed to tease since he was the one naked and laying on top of the other.

[dontvotemeout]

"Of course I missed you. It was like you were here, but I couldn't talk to you all weekend," Jason said. He didn't think that sounded too needy.

[deaths-demigod.livejournal.com]

"You could talk," Nico pointed out. "I was just really hard to understand. What with all the uh, drooling. Sorry about that." He ducked his head, a little embarrassed.

[dontvotemeout]

"Hey, it's okay. It was the island's fault, not yours," Jason said, kissing Nico on the cheek.

[deaths-demigod.livejournal.com]

Nico nearly smiled at that kiss, shifting to get himself a little more comfortable. "You're really understanding, you know? I know I should expect it, but yeah."

[dontvotemeout]

"You would be the same way for me," Jason said confidently. "Especially if you knew I might end up without clothes at the end."

[deaths-demigod.livejournal.com]

Okay, yeah, Jason was right with that and Nico laughed lightly. "You say that like I wouldn't strip for you whenever asked."

[dontvotemeout]

"I know, but now I don't even need to ask," Jason said, putting his hands on Nico's chest. "This totally cancels out all the drooling, really."

[deaths-demigod.livejournal.com]

"And does it cancel out stealing your food?" Nico asked, sliding his hand up over Jason's neck and into his hair.

[dontvotemeout]

"I don't know. You might need to do a bit more for me to forgive you for that," Jason teased, tilting his head into Nico's touch.

[deaths-demigod.livejournal.com]

"More could go a few different ways," Nico pointed out, tugging Jason's hair back a bit so he could easily press a kiss to Jason's neck.

[dontvotemeout]

"Um, that's a good start," Jason said, shivering a little, and tilting his head to offer more of his neck up for Nico's mouth.

Nico smirked, leaning in to nip at Jason's neck with his teeth. "So what's the next step?"
