RP: Nick's Birthday Party
Who: Anyone (add tags)
When: 2-26-12 7pm
Where: Nick's house
Summary: Nick turns seventeen.

Nick was thrilled to finally turn seventeen and to have an actual party-type event to go with it. Usually, his parents took him out to dinner and gave him money, which he'd been totally fine with since it was tradition. But since he was in Omega, and people had parties for their birthday, he was all for it, too.

He still wanted the dinner, though, and Eliot went all out with real sit-down food set up buffet style. Barbeque chicken, barbeque ribs, and salad stuff for the boring people. There were side dishes, too. And drinks and April's cake.

Nick had managed to keep the random lights under control, mostly. Some still managed to escape in his excitement, but nothing big or 'scary' or whatever. When the time arrived, Nick stationed himself at the door with the cooler of beers to hand out as the proper party hello.

Derek and Nick

Derek and Emily had been greeted by a smiling Nick and beer. It had taken a moment to remember his comment about a beer being like an hello. Obviously, he'd have to be more careful with his statements, but at least this wasn't likely to get him in trouble. In fact, it might just make him slightly more accepted.

He let it go, but when most of the guests had arrived, he made a point to find Nick. "Hello, birthday boy. How does it feel to be seventeen?" he asked with a grin.

"It's a pretty good party, good food. Are you enjoying it?" he asked, although it wasn't hard to tell.

Nick beamed at Derek's question. Literally, damn it, and he quashed the little rainbow that sprang up. "One of these days, that'll stop," he grumbled, embarassed. He shook it off and smiled again. "Being seventeen is cool. It'll be even cooler once I can finally really drive."

Nick looked around. People there seemed to be enjoying all the food, of which the food was awesome as usual. "I like this better than just going out to dinner. I was gonna do a birthday party game, but we didn't have enough bullets in the house to make it challenging."

Derek laughed. "That's fine, don't worry about it." In fact, he'd like to keep Nick's innocence as long as possible. It balanced his disorder. "I'll make you a deal. You promise to talk to me when you're angry, like you have been doing, and after each session, we drive some more Sounds good?"

He nodded. "This is pretty good." He stopped and looked at Nick. "What kind of game requires bullets?"

	Nick lit up. Again. Damn it. "Cool! You got it." He smothered the rainbow with a dirty look at it. "I looked up birthday party games online. There's this one where you guess the number of things in a jar and win a prize. I thought that would be neat and easy. And Eliot said no to Pin the Tail on the Donkey."

Derek snorted. "One day, it'll stop. It's fine for now."

At least, they weren't planning on killing anyone and that was good. "Do you know why Eliot said no?" he asked, conflicted between telling Nick that he didn't have to listen to Eliot and the potential damage he could do in the house. "Also why bullets? You could have picked something else. Beans, candies, condoms," he teased with a wink. Not that condoms seemed to have much effect here.

"Eliot said it was probably too small in the house to do that game, unless I wanted to have people sticking each other in possibly places like," Nick paused and blushed and blurted very quickly, "breastsandpenises."

Then Derek mentioned condoms and Nick blushed even more. "I was loading my clip when I was looking online, that's why. I didn't think about the other stuff."

"That's true." As long as they were explaining the reason and it was an arbitrary decision, Derek had no problem, even if the reason given wasn't the real one. "Also, when you plan games, you should consider the people you invite. There are a lot of adults, and they don't really like to play those games."

He nodded. "Okay, but from now on, try to think about alternatives. Bullets are rarely the way to go at a party, okay?"

	Nick's eyes grew a bit wider. "I don't think I'm ready for games adults play. That truth or dare was wild enough." There were bras flying, and Alexis had kissed him! Whoosh, red glowing face. "Um... everyone's packing but Eliot. There's bullets already here." He shoved his hands in his pockets and tried not to think about kisses. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Derek started to laugh. "I didn't meant that. Surprisingly enough, after a certain age, you don't think of sex every breathing moment of the day. In fact, we don't really enjoy having sex in public, or at least most people don't. Some do. I meant that adults don't want to play games at all. They are happier talking, listening to music, eating. No games required."

He ruffled Nick's hair. "One day, you'll stop thinking about sex too. Hard to believe, but it will happen." He nodded. "I know, but those guns are for protection, not fun. You know, I think we should have a gun free day. One whole day with activities for you to do that do not include a gun, even in video games."

	Nick released a sigh of relief. "I can talk and eat and listen to music." It was a lot less nerve-wracking, for sure. His color faded. He looked up at Derek after the hair ruffle. "Like what?" He's had a gun on him for four years. Not having it would be weird. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Good, and maybe you can avoid Truth or Dare, since some of these young people seem to push their dares into levels you aren't comfortable with," he said.

"Well, we could try sports. I used to play football, but there's basketball. Maybe help Eliot with the cattle. Maybe that video game I got you. You can build a world. It takes some patience and skill, and you have to think about every aspect of your world, roads, food, growth. You still have classes. So it's not like you have that much time anyway." He was curious to see how Nick would handle being without the gun for that long.

"I played sports in P.E.," Nick volunteered. "Not very well, because of my cover. Couldn't let on that I was anything but average." Nick pretended he didn't hear about the cattle, because Eliot would probably make him shovel cow poop or something equally gross. "I'm gonna try the game tonight after everyone goes and we clean up. I have floor duty." He rolled his eyes.

	"Is there a sport you liked to play? Even if you couldn't play it well in school?" He really wanted to know who was this idiot who thought that Nick couldn't play sports to keep a cover. Derek smiled. "Good, and then you can tell me what you think about it. It's a little more tiring than pointing and shooting, but I find them more interesting." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Lacrosse," Nick answered immediately. He grinned. "Hockey in the air. How cool is that?" Catching and throwing the ball with a lacrosse stick took a lot of skill, and it was fun to see how far the ball could be whipped across the field to a teammate. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"That's very- Yeah, didn't have lacrosse in Chicago. We stuck to our basics: football, basketball and baseball." Lacrosse wasn't even in his thoughts when he'd mention playing. "I can't say I have any clue, but you can teach me." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"You must've lived in a different part of Chicago. Lacrosse and soccer were the big things in Budlong Park." Still, Nick perked and grinned. "I get to be the teacher. Woot." (Reply to this) (Parent)
