Nico supposed he should've expected a response like that. He hadn't told Vex the full extent of his powers and really, it was hard to tell what they were when every day he got stronger. That was usually the fate of a demigod: the older they became, the more powerful they got, especially children of the Eldest Gods (ie. Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades). Dreamwalking, at least, had been familiar to Nico for a while now, having used it for delivering messages and even manipulating other people into deep sleeps. Death and dreams were not too dissimilar and though he didn't have the power of an actual child of Hypnos, he still had significant skill in maneuvering through dreamscapes.
Of course, now he had to explain that to Vex, who looked a bit flabbergasted, to say the least.
"Yes, it's me. I have the power to access people's dreams though I don't tend to wander into them much unless a strong dream pulls me in. Dreams are frequent for demigods because we often see flashes of the future or are capable of peeking in on our enemies. Most can't control it, though. Unless they're a child of Hypnos. Or me," Nico explained patiently as he languorously stretched out atop one of the still present silk cushions.
"It's not so different from navigating the shadows, when you think about it."
He burst out in a laugh, which sounded like disbelief at first but then faded into honest amusement. "Oh, bloody hell! You know how to keep me on my toes, doncha?" As he chuckled he leaned in to give him another brief kiss on his gorgeous mouth.
"Mm... you're positive you're just a demigod and not a sex god? Because you're fulfilling so many of my wicked fantasies." And to think, this guy was a virgin when they met. Well, ass-virgin at least, Vex didn't know if that really counted, especially with not how much Nico continued to blow his mind.
Then Vex moved so he could flop onto the cushion next to Nico, grinning as he wrapped his arms around him and pulled him close. "Minx," he accused fondly. "Promise me you'll invade my dreams more often, yeah?"
He might have felt affronted by the initial laugh, but as it morphed into one of amusement, Nico found it infectious. He leaned into the kiss and the hold as Vex wrapped his arms around them and then brushed his nose against that of the fae's. Grinning a bit sheepishly, he gave a brief nod.
"Yeah, I can do that," he replied, cheeks going a bit pink. Because, Styx, if more of Vex's dreams were like that, he'd definitely have to invade them more often. Biting his lip, he gave a bit of a thoughtful look at Vex, through his lashes. "If you dream deeply enough, you might just pull me in anyway."
"Ooh, I'll try darling. I'll try." With no intention of waking up, Vex rolled over to kiss Nico again, and again. And he felt it was high time for 'round two' despite the fact that round one had been so vigorous. Hey, it was a dream, he was allowed to push the limits of reality. ♥
