On the fifth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me, five golden rings...

"Thank you, have a nice day," Nico said quickly to the lady as he grabbed the bag of Chinese food. Instead of cooking, Percy and Nico decided to pick up some take out and bring it home. Sure they had to leave the apartment, but their favorite Chinese place didn't deliver.

"I got it, let's go- what are you doing?" Nico stopped and watched Percy turn the metal knob on one of the toy machines. Five little plastic containers laid on the floor beside him as he pulled out a sixth.

"Yes! I got it!" Percy showed Nico the small pair of handcuffs. "I spent $3.00 on this stupid thing. It kept giving me rings."

"You spent $3.00 on that machine? Why?" Nico set the food on a chair beside him.

"Because I thought it would be worth it, sorry I didn't think it through." Percy looked down at the little gold rings by his knee. He sat up straighter on one knee and gathered them up to presented them to Nico. "Will you forgive me?"

Nico glared at him. He swiped the rings from Percy's palm and stood up. "Get the food you doofus."

As Percy grabbed the bag of their dinner, Nico pocketed the rings.
