Nico sighed with relief as he sank into his chair. He had remembered Father's Day just in time and sent a gift before time was up. A normal father would be slightly annoyed, but Hades...
A card! He forgot a card. Better text him.
Nico: Happy Father's day!
That should suffice for now. He'd better get a card anyway.
Then Hades texted back.
Hades: Thanks, son. I think I'll make a pot of that flowering tea you gave me to celebrate.
Nico: Really?
Hades: You're my eldest technically alive (don't think I don't know about Hazel) child that you know of.
Nico: THAT I KNOW OF!
Hades: *Play-ah grin*
Nico: O.o
Hades: Just because I've stuck to the "Big 3 Bargain" doesn't mean I did so beforehand. Persephone isn't around half the year and I'm lonely.
Nico: Aaaaaaaaah!
Hades: While you reach for that brain bleach, I'm gonna give Kronus his gift. It's a tie. Of me. :D
Hades chuckled to himself. That should teach Nico to forget a Father's Day card.
