Day 305 : MISTLETOE BOT MINGLE
[You won't hear them coming. You won't see their snare. The mistletoe bots are out and they're hunting you, two by two. You can run and you can hide, but eventually you will be caught, and then there's nothing left to do but kiss your way out!

Chapstick stations will be available.]

	[Aidan's ignorance of hellish mythological landmarks is a godsend.] Um, thanks? But you've taken the time to get to know me. I mean, how many people are really okay with the whole darkness and shadows and raising the dead thing? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2015-01-14 10:10 pm UTC (link)
	Well, sure... I can see how that would be a problem. Let me ask you this though... how many people here have you met that had an issue with all that? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nico_di_angelo 2015-01-14 10:45 pm UTC (link)
	...No one really. [Some even thought it was pretty cool or useful. But the doubts keep bubbling up and dragging him down. They'll figure out eventually that he's no good. He sighs.] I get it, okay. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2015-01-14 10:49 pm UTC (link)
	[ He's quiet for a beat, silently studying Nico. ] I kinda get it, y'know. It's hard, not likin' yourself. A lot of people don't. I don't think it's anything weird with that, even if you're not right about what kind of person you are. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[His hands still on the clothes. Not that he was actually doing anything with them. But the pretending to be busy stops. He remembers confessing that he hated himself to Cupid - along with his other secret - while waves of hate and shame and fear rolled off him. Not for his foe, but for himself.] Obvious, huh? [His voice is fractured.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I dunno... maybe I just love a lot of people who hate themselves. [ Yes, love. Aidan loves easily and platonically. That makes it all the more painful when the people he love doesn't love themselves even half as much. ]

It's okay, you know? I mean, I'd rather it wasn't like this but it seems like it's just a thing that... happens. You don't have to hide it. Not to me, anyway.

	[That's not fair. He means other people. He's tolerated. Liked - maybe - still hard to believe. But not...] You shouldn't throw that word around. [He thought Aidan was more responsible than that.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2015-01-15 06:39 pm UTC (link)
	What word? [ He can't mean love, right? No way he means that. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nico_di_angelo 2015-01-15 07:06 pm UTC (link)
	[Does he have to say it?] You ... you know what word. Love! You don't just throw that into a conversation! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2015-01-15 07:07 pm UTC (link)
	[ Uh. ] What's wrong with sayin' you love someone? It's not like I'm askin' you to marry me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nico_di_angelo 2015-01-16 12:17 am UTC (link)
	Because it means something. If you don't mean it - really mean it - you shouldn't say it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2015-01-16 12:27 pm UTC (link)
	Why would I say it if I didn't mean it, Nico? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nico_di_angelo 2015-01-16 08:26 pm UTC (link)
	Because... [He can think of a lot of reasons, and provide a list of the kinds of people who would do just that. Maybe even some names. But Aidan has never struck him as the type.] I don't know. [He feel insecure, and stupid for saying anything in the first place.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2015-01-16 08:58 pm UTC (link)
	[ He doesn't say stuff he doesn't mean. He also loves very easily and deeply. It can get weird. ] Does it make you uncomfortable if I say that to you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nico_di_angelo 2015-01-16 10:39 pm UTC (link)
	[What's the right answer? Lie and say no, or...] A little ... some. Yeah. [He cringes a bit.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2015-01-17 09:35 am UTC (link)
	Then I won't say it no more. Just... y'know. Remember that it's true. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nico_di_angelo 2015-01-17 06:16 pm UTC (link)
	[He feels like he should apologize. Sorry I can't handle platonic declarations of love - even indirectly.] Thank you. [He says that instead, because Aidan's been respectful of his boundaries so far, and he doesn't know how to express how grateful he is for that. Except maybe ... Hug?] Can we, um...? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2015-01-17 09:49 pm UTC (link)
	Can we... what? [ Oh. Oh! ] Sure. C'mere. [ Reaaaching. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nico_di_angelo 2015-01-17 11:42 pm UTC (link)
	[It's been a stressful, terrible day. He throws his arms around Aidan and holds on for a bit.] Was your day okay, at least? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2015-01-18 12:11 am UTC (link)
	[ There's such a sense of victory when Nico hugs him like this, filling Aidan's chest with a happy warmth. He wraps his arms around the smaller boy in turn, idly rubbing a hand over his shoulder. ] Yeah, it was alright. This is my fourth time around, so it ain't such a big deal anymore. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nico_di_angelo 2015-01-18 05:59 am UTC (link)
	[It's still a little strange, but he feels more and more comfortable with this sort of thing - the hugging. The accepting comfort. Accepting it's okay to need and ask for it, that's harder.] Fourth. You've been here a long time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2015-01-18 10:24 am UTC (link)
	I have. Something like... hundred and fifty days? I think? 's kinda hard to keep track of. [ What with the back and forth in the memory department. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nico_di_angelo 2015-01-18 11:18 pm UTC (link)
	[Nico nods. That's a long time. He hasn't even dealt with memory hiccups, and he keeps losing track of how many days he's been here. Nowhere near as long. Okay, hugtime over.] Percy said the prison might be good for me, that I seem happier here. [Whatever "happier" means.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2015-01-19 04:30 pm UTC (link)
	[ That was a lot more hugtime than he expected, which is to say that he didn't expect any at all. ] Maybe. It's... kinda nice in here. Definitely better than what some people are going through back home. [ A beat. ] I don't think there's anything wrong with likin' it here, or not wantin' to go home. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nico_di_angelo 2015-01-19 07:19 pm UTC (link)
	[He gives a short nod. That's kinda what he needed to hear.] I have to go back. I've got important things to do, a sister - but things are so different here. I just ... I felt guilty. But that helps. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
