fic summary: leo doesn't know his exact birthday from being on the run for so long, so nico decides for him
Leo grabbed the nearest pillow and smacked it against Nico’s face. Nico let out a small yelp as he fell back, nearly falling off the bed before throwing the pillow back at Leo.
“I don’t want no damn cake, I want a different birthday!” Leo yelled, this time tossing the blanket at him, though he couldn’t hide the smile beginning to form.
“Too bad!” Nico yelled back with a grin, catching the blanket. “I think I’ll buy you a cake and take you out! I’ll pay the bill!”
“Well then I’ll just buy the cheapest thing there!” Leo yelled as he lunged forward, pillow in hand, beginning to smack it over and over at Nico.
Nico laughed almost crazily as he was hit over the head with the pillow again and again. And without warning, he reached his hands out, positioning his fingers at Leo’s sides and pressing just lightly enough to make him feel it.
Leo stilled as he felt it, his eyes widening with something almost like horror as he looked at Nico.
“Nico, please…!” Leo begged. “Anything but-”
And then Nico was tickling him, and a laugh broke free from Leo’s mouth. He fell onto his back, laughing and squirming as Nico got on top of him.
“AH-HAH! NO, NICO- NICO STO-OHP! I- HA-! CAN’T- HAHA-! FUCK, STOP!” Leo laughed under him.
Nico’s grin widened, and he doubled his efforts. “Guess what, Leo? I’ll find the fanciest restaurant in New York and reserve the best spot there! Then in the morning, I’ll sing happy birthday to you! Actually, I’ll sing to you right now! Happy birthday to you-”
“STOP!” Leo nearly screamed, mixed with his uncontrollable laughter. “HAHA-! I CAN’T- FU- HAH! CAN’T FUCKING- HAHAHA-! BREATHE!”
“Only if you let me celebrate your birthday tomorrow, birthday boy.”
“OKA-HA-HAY! TOMORROW!” Leo yelled. “PLE-HAHA-EASE! JUST STO-HAHA-OP!"
Satisfied, Nico lifted his hands. Leo panted as he laid boneless on the bed, arms crossed over his stomach to protect his sides. “You… Nico di Angelo… are the most… evil person I know…” he said breathlessly.
