You know? Today is a great day.

[For those who know Nico, the bright smile and the cheery attitude is a far cry from how the teen usually is.]

I found a new comic shop! They carry a game that's kind of like Mythomagic, which is a card game from my world. It's super fun. It has some of the monsters I'm familiar with, but they've added the cryptids too! The game guide is really hard to read through but I think I've got the gist of it. Though can Jersey Devil really beat Medusa? I don't know.

[That's when he realizes he's excitedly rambling. He flushes a bit, embarrassed before scratching the back of his head.]

Oh. Sorry! That's not why I got on though. I was thinking that we should do another teen movie night! We had a lot of fun that one time with the horror films and I think it'd give us something to do while we deal with [he waves his arms] all of this.

What do you say?

[Who knew all it took was a little magic to cheer this kid up with the smile he's giving the camera.]

[Why? Just, why is Nico so cute when he's excited? He's going to die this week--or however long this is lasting for.]

If you're still on the street you where on, it shouldn't take me long to find you.

[It really is just a matter of minutes after sending that text that he spots Nico, planted on a bench, purchase from the comic store in hand.]

Hey.

[ambasciatore]

Hey! [ He leaps up from the bench, hastily shoving the cards into the bag. ] So. Are we still on for dinner? Or did we plan to do breakfast tomorrow?

[pocketfulof]

[Seriously? This adorableness is going to be the death of him.]

We could do both. [A grin, a shrug, a level of ease that definitely doesn't mesh with the way his stomach does flips at the implication of that invitation.] It'd save us porting in and out, having to meet up again...

[ambasciatore]

Inviting me to stay the night, huh? [ He nudges Will's side with a grin. ]

[pocketfulof]

It would make things easier.

[Okay. This was downright illegal. Nico wasn't allowed to be both adorable and teasing in the span of the same ten minutes. Will was not handling it well, if the red color starting to flood his face was anything to go by.]

But first, dinner? [Let him salvage this moment.]

[ambasciatore]

Are you embarrassed about asking me to stay the night?

[ Nico can't stop grinning at that. Normally he would be absolutely embarrassed, nervous about how he was going to handle staying the night but-- he felt like he could do anything right now. ]

Let's go! Dinner sounds amazing. What are you thinking?

[pocketfulof]

N-No. [He's more used to you being weird and awkward and--and he is so not prepared for this. He's going to die.]

...You're in a good mood. I might be persuaded to allow less than healthy choices in food today.
