[Katsuki is sitting in his bedroom wearing casual clothes, which ends up being a black tank top and pants. He looks irritated as he looks down at his screen, but then again he usually looks irritated.]

I'll get right to the point. Hugging and physical contact's how we make money and everything, ain't it? I wanna make enough money so let's- let-

[His scowl deepens and his face begins to redden as his frustration grows. His voice goes low and gravely as he tries to cover up his embarrassment.]

Look, I can't be the only one here who wants to get rich and multiple god powers and shit but thinks hugging for it is fucking stupid. I'm willing to hug you idiots and put up with your disgusting smells and stupid fashion choices, and in return we can both get paid and do whatever we want.

Let's do this shit.

Hugging is fucking stupid. [So what if it feels nice.] But...don't you already have powers?

Yeah it is. [Finally, someone said something intelligent. He shrugs.] I do. I don't need more, but I want to get other powers faster so I can rub it in people's faces.

I didn't realize that's what having multiple powers were for. [Apparently, he's been doing it wrong. He hasn't rubbed a single face.] What kind of powers do you want?

Might as well be. The gods are fucking stupid to reward 'em just for hugging. It ain't free food or money, what if they give 'em to the wrong person? [What kind of powers does he want? He shrugs when he thinks about it. He doesn't particularly care because he wants to prove himself with his own quirk. It's just another form of competition for him.] Anything except ice. Shit sucks.

Maybe they feel the risk outweighs the benefits, if it gets people to do what they want.

[If all the physical contact is really why the walls have expanded, he can see why they would be willing to give desirable rewards, like powers. Besides, they've already proven they can limit one's abilities, like with the prison. They're probably not all that worried. Whatever they give, they can surely take away.]

Does it? Is that because it's the opposite of your own powers, or do you have a grudge?

[Nico has no ice abilities - though he can drop the temperature low enough to cause frost. Not all that useful, except as a sign to anyone nearby that he's likely pissed as hell.]

Doing what they want's stupid. I've got a better idea, let's make our demands at their temples!!!

[He has no idea how that would work, but he hates feeling like he's sitting around and waiting while some invisible entity does whatever they want.

He scowls at the question.]

I don't have a fucking grudge! It would be incompatible with my quirk, and it's a shitty power to have.

[Nope, he definitely doesn't have a grudge.]

Sure. Do you have a sacrifice?

[Is he joking? Is he serious? Who knows. But the gods of his world enjoy sacrifices, and gifts, so... anyway, He's pretty sure that making demands will get them absolutely nowhere.]

No grudge, got it. [He doesn't ~believe~ you.]

My sacrifice is that I won't destroy their stupid temples if they work with me.

I'm serious! [He narrows his eyes. You don't sound convincing, Nico.] Anyway, let's train sometime.

How many gods have you ever tried to bargain with?

[Not many? None? It seems like none. It gets a smile out of him, anyway.

He shrugs.] Sure. Could be fun.

Wh- None! How many have you tried to bargain with?!

[Gods aren't common on Katsuki's world, just villains who like to play god.]

Yeah, it'll be fun when I win.

[A shrug.] I don't keep track. One is too many, but it's usually with my father. [A slightly less chance of being smote when you were the god's only living son.]

If I let you win, sure.

I don't give a shit if someone's a god or a human! I'll kill anyo-

[Wait.

He just realizes what Nico said.]

You're the son of a god or are ya just bein' unnecessarily dramatic?

Don't you fucking go easy on me, Prince of Darkness.

My father is a god. But I'm only half.

[He can also be unnecessarily dramatic.

He rolls his eyes at the nickname, but it's good natured. It's nothing he hasn't heard before.]

Same goes for you.

YOU'RE A WHAT?! Who the fuck's your father?!

[He's still having trouble processing this. Is Nico lying? Once his shock dies down he smirks, coming to a conclusion.]

I never go easy. I've never gotten to defeat a half-god before. Too bad for you, because I'm a full-god!!!

He's called Hades. God of the dead. [Among other things, but that was what he was most associated with. Nico's come across enough people here that are unfamiliar with the Greek gods, he now just assumes no one is until proven otherwise.

He bites back a snort.]

Good thing I'm not afraid of gods then.

Hades? You mean the fucking mythological Greek god? [What the fuck? Katsuki narrows his eyes at Nico. He just seems like a regular human with powers.] Are you really ancient or some shit?

[He rolls his eyes but he ends up smirking.]

Yeah, yeah. Let me know whenever you're available.

[A nod. That's the one. Greek god of dead things and ruler of the Underworld. Not a myth.]

...I'm fifteen. [Technically. Long story.]

Sure. Soon, though. Wouldn't want you getting cold feet.

...Can ya make zombies?

[Katsuki blinks before he grins and gestures to himself.] If you're fifteen that makes me your senpai! You have to listen to what I say!!!

[At that comment though he ends up flipping Nico off.]

I ain't scared of a little darkness.

Yeah. I can raise the dead.

[His eye twitches.] Your what? What does my age have to do with anything?

[He also knows how to flip people off, as he demonstrates.]

WHAT?! YOU'RE SERIOUS?!

[He wasn't actually expecting a yes. Shit. That's...]

You're technically my underclassman, and I'm your upperclassman and mentor. [He shrugs. But it doesn't really matter here.] Or we would be. I don't give a shit about that crap.

[But he likes being petty and yelling at people. He rolls his eyes at the retort.]

I'm free whenever.

As a heart attack.

[It's okay to admit it's a cool power.]

Oh. Like...school? [There were ranks in the military school he attended. Though...he stopped going to school in the fifth grade. But maybe it was something like that? It's a good thing Katsuki doesn't care about "that crap"; Nico doesn't either.]

Cool. Same.

WHAT THE FUCK?! ...Do they come back as zombies?

[It's very cool. What the hell.]

Yep. But it applies to work and shit too. [Why would you stop going to school, Nico?? Katsuki shrugs and inclines his head in a slight nod.]

Cool.

If by zombies you mean undead corpses under my control...yeah. I could...show you?

[School sucks. Also, he had more important things to do, like war and trying and bring his sister back to life.

And cool. Cool, cool, cool. Something to look forward to.]
