Do you like you? [ psl ]

WHO "Aaron" ([personal profile] mysterzie), Jason Marks ([personal profile] blackjackofall)
WHAT Birthday surprise! ... and not just for the lucky kid, either.
WHEN December 15th, 2015.
WHERE Jason's rather lavish hotel room.
WHY Do I even need to say it?

For all that Jace was terrible at being in the right place at the right time, he did at least have a good sense of excellent hotel rooms. Last year and the year before had been foiled in catching Jace anywhere on this particular day, so Aaron decided this year to make sure to catch the guy sometime before midnight. He hadn't had anyone to really celebrate his birthday with for five years running, so of course he was wanting to do something with the one person who still talked to him.

But he wasn't here. Aaron was beginning to get frustrated with that. It wasn't as if Jace had holiday shopping to do or anything, so where could he be? Where could he consistently be that wasn't where he should have been? Whatever. Aaron would wait. As it was, he'd searched the suite thoroughly for any special decks lying around just in case, then settled for a mundane one and a small bottle of champagne from the minifridge before he spread out on the huge bed. Barefoot, sleeves rolled up and legs curled up under him, he was dealing out cards and picking them up, shuffling before he laid them out again.

If he timed it right, maybe it would look like he'd just gotten there when Jace arrived. That would be really cool.

December was usually the busiest month of the year for power-swapping. The rich always wanted a new power and there was always some person harassing him about their child needing something better so that they weren't getting bullied. Jace hated it and made him hate the entire holiday season because of it. Not that he had any fond memories of it at the training center. Good little children got to have the days off. Bad little children like Jace got extra training.

By the time he was done for the day, all he wanted to do was relax and maybe pass out early so that he'd be ready for another onslaught of people who just would not let their powers fucking be. When he got into his hotel room and saw Aaron, Jace stopped and groaned.

"Oh, I am not ready for your shit tonight. Can't you go bother somebody else?"

Jace didn't say anything at first, taking his jacket off and throwing it on the back of a chair before moving over to the minifridge and taking out a cold coffee drink. He wanted alcohol, but with Aaron around, he wasn't going to drink and speaking of. He walked over to the bed, picked up the champagne, and took it away from Aaron. No drinking allowed around Jace, squirt.

"I was working," he grumbled as he opened up his coffee and drank it. He was going to need it if Aaron was going to be around for any period of time. "Which I'm sure you don't understand, so what do you want?"

"What? I am not going out with you," he said, looking absolutely disgusted with the idea after being forced to deal with people all day long. Jace is definitely not in a socializing mood and even for the brat he calls a friend, he doesn't seem very willing to go out. "Don't you have anyone else to deal with besides me?"

His brain's not at full speed today otherwise he'd be trying to figure out who exactly Aaron was just by their birthday, but he'll get to that later. Right now, he's got a rogue shapeshifter to kick out and a bed with his name on it.
