Super Awesome Friend Bonding Times

[ghostking]

[It was Jason's idea.

He said it would be good for him. He needed to spend time with friends and have fun. Do things that teenagers are supposed to do. Things that don't include fighting for your life or saving the world from complete and utter destruction at the hands of vengeful deities.

A movie night was his suggestion. A movie night with Piper. Jason had been so eager and earnest about it that it was hard for him to say no. So he didn't. And that's how Nico found himself sitting on her couch on a Friday night with the strained awkward silence that seemed to follow him like a rain cloud planting itself firmly between them.]

... Nice place.

[He chuckles, shaking his head a little.]

Look, if you want to meet my dad that badly there are other ways to arrange a meeting that don't involve actually killing yourself. I mean, if we were to play that the way drinking games are supposed to be played we'd be dead before the movie was over. That's just a guarantee. You have better chances of survival trying to sneak into the Underworld.

[The fact that he can tell that already and it's only about 10 minutes into the movie...well, that sure says something for the quality of the film. Or "quality", in air quotes. In any case, Nico's totally right and Piper knows it--that's why she said it in the first place, to be ridiculous--but that doesn't mean she's gonna back down so easily. She gives an offhanded shrug.]

Hey, if you don't wanna play the game, that's totally your call.

[Somehow it's ridiculously tempting to teasingly push him about it, to throw down the if you're not up to it, I understand completely, di Angelo gauntlet, but...the mood right now is light and he's chuckling and almost really smiling and Piper doesn't want to do anything to make him go serious again.

So instead she thinks: what would Leo say right now if he was here? and says that.]

Then again, we could always play it with hot sauce instead of booze...though honestly, as someone who's already seen this movie, that could probably kill us, too.
