"Did we do that?"

Prompt: Nico and Anubis meeting up at a graveyard and meeting some freaky teens that meet up at graveyards to do "magic" rituals.

--------

Anubis stepped out of the duat and into his favourite graveyard (actually, it was Nico's favourite, so that made it his too). It was pretty small, and therefore people didn't visit as often.

Looking around, he could spot his lover crouching behind a gravestone a few meters away.

He walked closer, noting how Nico tensed before relaxing again, probably recognising his magic signature. He crouched down beside him, leaning over to plant a small kiss on his cheek.

"Hey," he whispered. "What's up?"

Nico nodded towards a group of teenagers that were huddled together at the other side of the graveyard. He almost couldn't make them out in the darkness, but his jackal eyes helped him out.

He heard a chuckle beside him. "I always forget how yellow your jackal eyes are. They're so pretty."

He shoved the demigod playfully, earning a glare.

"Stop that, you'll blow our cover," Nico whisper-yelled, no real anger behind the words.

"What are we covering for?"

Nico snickered. "They're doing some kinda ritual. They're doing it all wrong though."

Anubis raised an eyebrow in silent question.

Nico rolled his eyes at him before pointing. "See that guy holding the book?" Anubis looked at the skinny blond guy in the middle. "Well, he's reading the incantations wrong. He probably doesn't know that intonation plays a huge part."

Anubis listened closely at what the blond kid was saying. It seemed to be some poor try at Latin, but the intonation was indeed all wrong.

Nico pointed again. "The brunette over there has drawn the symbols wrong too. They're supposed to be mirrored. They're serious amateurs."

"How do you know so much about this?" Anubis wondered aloud.

Nico smirked sideways at him. "I kinda had a phase where I tried to summon different creatures." He waved his hand about. "That was before I could properly summon and control skeletons."

"And the Latin?"

"I learned it when I was travelling between Camp Half-Blood and Camp Jupiter. It was super irritating to not be able to read everything. And I was supposed to be related to Pluto in some way, so it came in handy to not raise suspicions."

They sat in silence for a few minutes, watching the teenagers try and fail to summon whatever it was they wanted to summon.

Nico suddenly started giggling beside the god. Anubis looked at him, knowing he had some stupid idea.

"What now?"

"I just had a great idea," Nico started, grinning widely. "What if I summon some skeletons to keep them company?"

Anubis shook his head in exasperation. Leave it to Nico to scare poor teenagers half to death with some "great" idea.

"Please?" Nico pleaded, turning on his doe-eyes.

"Fine."

Nico pumped his fist in the air. "Yes! Thank you." He leaned closer to give the god a chaste kiss on the lips.

Anubis huffed in mock annoyance as he watched his boyfriend rub his hands together in a scheming fashion.

They krept a bit closer, keeping to the ground to not be noticed. Nico sat down on his knees in the grass as he started doing his thing.
