Warning: singer sounding like a cat dying, Nico reacting, Jason's jokes earning him a punch in the face, pre-slash and slash...
Enjoy!
Over the past few months, Nico had gained quite a few new friends. Of course, considering how many people he'd actually considered friends beforehand, it might not be saying too much.
Regardless, he spent a lot more time around people who weren't dead. As he socialized, Nico realized that he'd missed out on a lot of things, even for demigod standards.
Admittedly, this bugged the Son of Hades, but he didn't say anything. However, Will, Nico's crush, was starting to be able to read him like a book, and so he and their friends put together a list of things for Nico to experience…
Pokémon
"Geez, I would've loved this as a kid…" Nico muttered, analyzing the different types of Pokémon and imagining what their stats would be.
Pirates of the Caribbean
Nico stared at the screen, wide-eyed. "That was fucking awesome." He decided. Not only were there cool fighting scenes, but Jack Sparrow and Will Turner made for some damn good eye candy.
Uh, not that he'd ever admit that to anyone.
Frozen
"Ugh! Too much singing…" Nico groaned.
It didn't help that the Apollo cabin, subtly encouraged by Will, kept on breaking into the song For the First Time in Forever, and whenever Will wanted Nico to do something with him he started humming the tune to Do You Want to Build a Snowman.
Though, Will and Nico did finally get together because of a duet of Love Is an Open Door…which was romantic and all if Nico ignored the fact that Hans was a lying jackass.
Twilight
The movie hadn't even been playing for three minutes before Nico turned it off.
Captain America
"Eh." Nico shrugged dismissively.
Avengers
"I should start calling you Captain." Will decided as he watched the movie with his boyfriend. "It fits."
"Does not!" Nico protested. Just because both of them were suddenly thrown into the modern world didn't mean they had that much in common...
Captain America: Winter Soldier
"Holy fuck…this one is so much better." Nico felt much better about his boyfriend likening him to Steve Rogers now. They even both had a list of suggestions to try…
Justin Bieber
"Who is this?!" Nico demanded, ripping the earbuds out of his ears. "That sounds like a cat dying. You'd better not be trolling me!"
Shrek
"Somebody once told me-" the lyrics could be heard from the Hades Cabin for days after that one…
X-Men
"The comics Chris leant me are better…"
Chronicles of Narnia
"Huh." Nico said, after watching the movie. How exactly was that supposed to relate to Jesus and Christianity again?
"Yeah." Jason agreed, though he was thinking something entirely different. "You were so far in the closet…did you ever meet Mr. Tumnus?"
That is how the Son of Jupiter ended up in the infirmary with a black eye and broken nose.
It didn't help matters that he was under the care of Will Solace, Nico's boyfriend, who kept snickering when he thought Jason couldn't hear him.
Invader Zim
"Leo!" Nico shouted angrily.
"What?" the Son of Hephaestus asked in confusion, popping his head out of the gigantic tube he'd just been in.
"What did you do?!" Nico demanded.
"Nothing!" Leo said defensively, though he couldn't be too sure…
"Wait. Something's broken and it's not your fault?" Nico asked, wide-eyed.
"I know!" Leo said, mimicking the Son of Hades for his own amusement. "I'm scared too!"
