[Nico doesn’t spend a lot of time looking in mirrors. That might be obvious by the way his hair is usually an unbrushed mess. He only sparingly glares at himself when he brushes his teeth in the morning. This morning is an exception. The him looking back appears heavier – his cheeks are round, the bags under his eyes are gone. His skin isn’t sickly and green tinged and leached of its color like his father’s – like it become after the Labyrinth and Tartarus and the jar. It’s a healthy olive complexion, like it had been when he was small. Everything about him looks healthy. Even his hair, curling in every direction. When the fuck did this happen?!

He’s in a bit of a daze as he wonders out of the apartment to find breakfast and go to work at the store. He might also be caught walking boxes from Sector 2 to his store in Sector 3 (over and over again). He might like some help with that, actually …Occasionally he’ll stop to gape at his reflection in windows and mirrors. Just … what?]

	Well ... It's not there now. [He flings a hand at a nearby reflective surface.]</small Go see for yourself. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Yuuri steps over toward a large window pane, tilting his head and then furrowing his brow which makes the word he can totally still see scrunch up.] You were kidding. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	No I'm not. [This is getting ridiculous! He marches over to point forcefully at the reflection, as if that will help. Instead, he comes up short and looks confused between Yuuri's forehead, and the reflection with a word scrawled across it.] What the fuck. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Yuuri turns away from the mirror to look at Nico.] You see it too, right? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nico_di_angelo 2015-03-29 11:28 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah... But... [He looks between Yuuri and the reflection again. Did this mean his reflection was a lie too?] There's nothing on you. It's just the reflection. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	demon_king 2015-03-30 04:30 am UTC (link)
	Just...? Really? [He looks at Nico and back at the mirror.] Like magic? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nico_di_angelo 2015-03-30 06:16 am UTC (link)
	Could be. Some kind of illusion? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Do you see anything on your forehead when you look at yourself? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nico_di_angelo 2015-04-13 04:24 am UTC (link)
	No. Just ... just me. [A different version of him. But ... not real. Apparently.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	demon_king 2015-04-21 06:34 pm UTC (link)
	Oh. [Yuuri turns his gaze back toward the mirror.] I wonder...Nico! [This time he didn't just look at himself.] You're all...tan! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nico_di_angelo 2015-04-21 06:47 pm UTC (link)
	[He shifts, uncomfortable, and pushes his hands in his pockets.] Yeah. It would appear so. It's not real, though, is it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	demon_king 2015-04-29 03:03 am UTC (link)
	Well... [Hesitating mostly because Nico doesn't sound pleased about it being fake.] probably not. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nico_di_angelo 2015-04-30 03:55 am UTC (link)
	Look, can we just go? [He moves away from the reflection, determined to leave whether Yuuri comes or not.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	demon_king 2015-05-19 03:00 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, yeah... Of course. You look more you this way anyway. [Just looking at the boy and not his reflection. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nico_di_angelo 2015-05-20 03:51 am UTC (link)
	[Just ... looks away because he can't deal with that.] Are you okay. With the whole... [Makes a motion at Yuuri's forehead.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	demon_king 2015-05-20 04:25 am UTC (link)
	Um...sure. I mean, it's just a word, right? [Just a word that really, really gets to him.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nico_di_angelo 2015-05-20 04:47 am UTC (link)
	Words can still hurt. [They drove him out of the only home he might have had.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	demon_king 2015-05-20 07:25 pm UTC (link)
	...Yeah, they can. But they can help too. Like yours help. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nico_di_angelo 2015-05-20 07:37 pm UTC (link)
	I, um ... Thanks. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	demon_king 2015-05-20 07:38 pm UTC (link)
	Thank you. Mmm...so should we...um, do something? [That isn't standing around talking about what they do or don't look like.] (Reply to this) (Parent)
