Where: The Aiolos mansion
When: Yesterday
Warnings: Fluff
It wasn't often Nick was positively happy anymore. Maybe he was around Melpomene or Hades too much... but today, he was... he was...
He was giddy.
The grin on his face felt permanent as he strode up the stairs to the mansion, where he and his Muse had finally moved in after a long thought, and walked in. He had only one goal on his mind, and it was to find his girl and give her a good sound kiss. "Mel~?"
"Bedroom!" the muse called in a voice that carried through the house. She glanced at the clock to see how long it had taken. About what she'd expected. Her travel bag was already packed and ready to go, but Nick's sat on the bed, open, as she put the personal travel items she knew he'd need into the side pockets. Hopefully he'd followed her direction, and gotten the things from the trunk of the car she'd hidden.
His steps running up the stairs signalled his arrival before he opened her door with a happy cackle. "You!" Putting down the items, he yanked her into a mixed hug and kiss.
She only had time to look up before she was pulled into the hug. Oh good, he was happy. Around her neck was the pendant he had given her, the ring on her hand. She'd packed the earrings, along with the other things he'd given her over time. Mel returned the kiss and hug, eager to return the attention.
"Dammit, your gift is totally better than mine," he sighed, faking a pretty decent pout.
Mel leaned up and kissed the corner of his mouth. "I had help. And more reason to do it." She paused, the shrugged. "And your solstice gift will be pretty pitiful."
"Gosh, way to kill some high hopes," the mortal grumbled, but at least he was still grinning. Kiss! "Can't believe you got tickets."
"I'm sure I'll make it up to you on the trip..." She smirked and rested her hands on his hips, the implication of just how she would rather clear. "I pulled a string or two. Dad helped with the private jet, the rest wasn't too hard."
Nick rolled his eyes. "You make it sound like he's the only one in town with money..." Well, besides Hades, but if it'd been Hades then it would've just been weird. Oh! That reminded him. "Hades had a message for you, by the way."
She blinked, and glanced to her phone sitting on the bed. Why hadn't he just texted her then? "What is that?"
"Something about not turning your phone on during the trip." He shrugged. "Probably some weird surprise of his or something."
She managed not to roll her eyes and tugged slightly on his belt holes. "Do you remember exactly what he said?"
Nick arched an eyebrow. "That would imply that I hang on Hades' every word." Did she seriously believe that for a second?
"Or that you were paying attention to something other than the tickets when he gave it to you." It was tempting to say if he had a muse memory, but that might be a bit mean. "Did he give any reason why I should have my phone off?"
"Just something about the trip being ruined," he replied with a roll of the eyes. "Who cares, are we gonna focus on the trip, or focus on Hades?" Please, let it be the former for once!
She smirked and kissed him. "The phone will go off. He can reach us through the hotel if anything big happens that we should know."
Atta girl. He kissed back before adding, "Hades has Helen and Shadow. Hestia was fricking giddy. I don't think we're gonna get Helen back when we return..." Heh. That lady did love babies.
"We better... And Shadow too." She liked having him around. Free baby sitter. "Hopefully they have a chance to get some cute photographs. Did you find their things in the trunk?"
He nodded. "How you got them in there without me seeing is beyond me. Sneaky muse."
"I did know Hermes." And spend a lot of time living on the streets. She kissed his jaw. "Pack, and we can go. Our jet is ready once we are."
"Ready when you are, babe~" said Nick with a grin, and he was gone, already in a flurry of packing. Fun boy, once you got him excited.
Mel grabbed the tickets and things that they would need and stuffed them into her own case, turned her phone off and grabbed her bag to stand by the door as he packed the few things he would need for the trip. She smiled once he was ready. It was time to celebrate.
A short few minutes later, and he was running downstairs. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Vegas. A good excuse as any to get out of town, avoid the business for a while, and remember what it was like to live a little. "[Love you, goddess,]" he said, giving her a peck on the lips before grabbing a few of her own bags before heading out to the car.
If he wanted to carry her two small bags out to the car, she wouldn't stop him. Melpomene smirked at his good mood. Clearly this was a better idea then she'd first thought. Once the bags were loaded, she stopped him, wrapped her arms about his neck and gave him a deep passionate kiss. "[I love you, my prince. Thank you. For everything. For loving me.]" She gave him another brief kiss. "Happy Anniversary."
Summary: Mel totally owns Nick's gift. It's cute. They depart, for Vegas!
