"Want to get some pizza dude? I mean you haven't eaten in like a week." Jason poked at the thin boy laughing.
"Hey! That's not true!" the younger boy complained groaning.
"Dude it completely is!" Jason laughed more than he had in weeks.
"Fine mister wise guy. But you're paying!" the small Italian had small legs but he could run like underworld. Jason had to sprint his hardest and still couldn't keep up with the little boy. Finally Nico turned into a pizza shop, Jason stumbling in after him out of breath. Nico pulled Jason's arm to the counter and ordered the pizza he wanted, while reaching into Jason's pocket to steal a twenty and keep the change. The girl at the counter was making swooning faces over Jason, she probably thought that nico was a child he was babysitting or something.
"Hey!" Jason protested ignoring the girl. "That wasn't part of the deal!" Nico just smirked and got a table. When the pizza came despite Nico's previous words, the little guy bore into the pizza like he hadn't eaten in weeks. Soon he had polished off the whole pizza leaving none for the blonde boy beside him. He looked up at Jason.
"Oops…" he blushed "I guess I was a bit hungry." Jason laughed, Nico looked like an adorable toddler, his face was covered in red sauce and his hair messily fell in front of his eyes.
"S'okay" Jason muttered. "the sauce is my favourite part." He added. Nico gave him a strange look, and then Jason leaned down and kissed the little boy. Nico tensed. Jason pulled away.
"Sorry Nico, umm… I'll stay at Percy's tonight." He got up to leave but the little boy grabbed his sweater sleeve. He looked back into the black eyes of Nico di Angelo.
"no." he pouted. "I want you with me." He crossed his arms over his chest and imitated a fed-up toddler. If there was any doubt in Jason's mind that Nico was the cutest thing ever, that doubt had been officially erased. They got up to leave and Nico laced his fingers with Jason's. Sending a smug smirk to the girl at the counter, 'mine' Nico thought, and so it was.
