Nico bolted towards his cabin, not caring who saw. He flung open the door to where he'd been expecting Jason and Percy to be waiting whilst trying to wrap their heads around mythomagic since that was the only way they could get Nico to agree to do their family games night.

He leaned against the door, chest heaving up and down. Jason jumped to his feet immediately and started fussing over him, checking his temperature and asking him a million questions a minute. Percy had a deep frown as he studied one of the cards, not looking up.

Nico swatted Jason away. "I'm fine. I'm fine."

"Don't you lie to me, young man." Jason put his hands on his hips. "Now where have you been? You’re five minutes late."

"Sorry, I was caught up in a conversation," Nico said. "Wait, why am I apologising?"

"This is family game night," Jason scolded. "For once we can actually sit down and spend time together. It's good for all of us, right Percy?"

Percy was still shuffling through the cards and didn't glance up as he said, "Listen to Jason, Nico."

Nico rolled his eyes and folded his arms. Jason raised an eyebrow.

"I know I didn't just see that," he said. "Who were you talking to? One of your responsibile friends, I hope."

"Gods, it was just Will!" Nico couldn't stop the flicker of a smile on his face. "We're going on a date this weekend."

At this, Percy did look up. He walked over and slapped Nico on the back in congratulations. Jason's eyebrows shot up his hairline.

"A date?" he repeated.

"I'm here now." Nico sighed. "Let's play."

He sat cross-legged on the floor and started to set the game up. Jason sat opposite him, glaring at him.

"I'd like to know more about this date of yours," he demanded.

"You guys know Will."

"I knew Friend Will. I don't know Boyfriend Will," Jason countered. Nico blushed tomato red.

"We haven't even been on the first date yet. He's not my boyfriend."

Percy jabbed his side with a wink. "Not yet. My boy's got game."

Nico buried his head in his hands. This was the most embarrassing day of his life.

"He's very tall," Jason noted. "I don't trust tall people."

"You and Percy are tall," Nico objected. Jason wagged a finger.

"Exactly and look at us. What are his plans for the future? How old is he? What's his criminal record?"

Nico shot him a look of exasperation. "He's going to medical school, he's my age and he has no criminal record unlike the rest of the camp."

"He's around drugs all day," Jason pointed out. "Ever sneak some for himself?"

"He doesn't get high." Nico groaned. "You're being ridiculous."

"I'm being careful. Now I have a list of rules that I created for any future boyfriends you might have and-"

"Stop!" Nico held up a hand. "I'll invite him over for tea if it becomes official and you can threaten him then. Can we please just do this stupid family game night."

Jason fell quiet. Nico handed out the cards and started talking about the rules, ignoring the Percy's wiggling eyebrows. They played a few rounds that evening and Nico won every time but he had to adit that it was quite fun. They were having a sleepover in Nico’s cabin that night so they all went to bed and just as the lights were turned out Jason spoke.

"At least he's a doctor."

"Oh my gods, shut up!"
