Hey! This is for AngelHeartObsession's 365 Day challenge!
Everyday for a year I will post a oneshot with a topic. Today's topic: Introduction.
Here we go.
# Introduction. #
"I don't see how this is going to work." Nico di Angelo gestured to all of him and Leo Valdez. They where staring at each other, trying and failing to see how their friendship would work.
"You just gestured to all of us!" Leo protested.
"I know. I don't think we're going to work out."
"Aw. You're such a downer."
Nico raised a brow, "Your point?"
"This could work." Leo said slowly, "I see a hint of sarcasm and jokes in you."
Nico feigned surprise, "No!" He said sarcastically.
"Oh, yes." Leo said, completely serious. "You just need to lighten up. Feel the flow. Go with the moment. Aste para ya. Do the rumba, dance Gangnam Style, do the Macarena-"
"No."
"Actually," Leo cupped his chin in one hand, "Put on a skirt, some heels, a tight shirt, and you could TOTALLY rock the Macarena."
Nico glared. Hard. "I, am a child of HADES. We do NOT do the Macarena."
"Hazel does the tango."
"Hazel is a Daughter of Pluto."
Leo smirked, "Your point?"
Nico smiled slightly. "Ah, I see what you did there."
"Used your own words-"
"-Against me." Nico finished.
They had a silent staring contest. Leo lost. "No fair!" He cried.
"What's not fair?" Nico asked.
"You cheated!"
"Did not."
"Did too."
"How?"
Leo stammered, "You... you... uh... you did... that... that Hades thing."
"That Hades thing?" Nico asked, clearly amused. He was about two or three years younger than Leo, but he acted like an eighteen-year-old.
"Yeah. That."
"WHAT Hades thing?"
Leo shrugged. "Beats me. I just know you did it."
"The world may never know." Nico said.
"Yeah... I take back what I said. This"-he gestured to all of both of them-"Isn't going to work."
"You just gestured to all of us!" Nico protested.
"I dunno," Hazel's familiar, warm voice called out. "You two seem to get along pretty well."
The two boys stared, "Say what?" Leo gaped. Nico swore in Italian.
"Just an opinion!" Hazel giggled, walking away.
Nico and Leo had another staring contest. Finally, Leo sighed. "I think all we need is to give each other a proper introduction."
Nico smiled slowly. Then, he stuck his hand out. " 'Sup. I'm Nico di Angelo. Son of Hades."
Leo shook his hand. "Hola, hermano! I'm Leo Valdez, Bad Boy Supreme, Son of Hephasteus."
From behind them, Hazel giggled. "Proper introduction is right."
