I rested my head on Nico's shoulder and closed my eyes. "Don't fall asleep on me." Nico muttered.

"But I'm tired." I pouted.

He opened one of my eyes and I swatted his hand away. "Stop it." I snap.

He smirks and pokes my cheek. "Gods, you're annoying." I say getting up from my seat.

He stood up next to me and I looked at him confused. "I've been your boyfriend for fifteen minutes and you're already trying to get away from me?" I chuckled and pushed him back. "Yes! I need my sleep."

He smirked. "You and me both." He grabs my hand an drags me all the way to our cabin.

"I'm tired as hell." He plops down on our bed and snuggles into the pillows. I rolled him off the bed and wiped off where he laid down. "You are not sleeping on this bed in that filth. Clean yourself, man!" He rolls his eyes and goes off to get cleaned.

I sighed and saw my backpack at the end of the bed. I grabbed a pair of clean pajamas and waited for him to finish up in the bathroom.

I played with my rubber-band until Nico came out shirtless. "Bathroom's free."

I walk past him and shut the bathroom door.

My gods! Damn, did he work out some?,'cuz holy shit his abs ain't that faint no more. I mean, is he teasing me?

He wants to tease me? Ho, ho, ho, Nico. You have no idea what you've just started.

I took a quick shower and remembered I forgot my towel. "Shit." I cursed.

I guess the plan's kicking into action sooner than I thought.

"Nico!" I yelled from the inside of the bathroom.

"Yeah!" He yells back. "Can you bring me my towel?"

"It's in my bag." I tell him.

I crack the door a bit so he can hand me the towel.

"What's the magic word?" He asks.

"Peanut." I say proudly.

"Nope. Actually, it's more like a phrase."

I glare at him and say,"I fucking hate you."

"Nuh-uh..."

"I don't like you."

"Yes, you do. That's why you confessed remember?" He points out bravely.

I stick the bird up at him.

"I'll give you a clue then. Three words."

"I like you." I muttered. He shakes his head. "It's far from that."

I clawed at him, but he backed away. "Oh well."

"Give it to me already!" I yell at him.

"Nope."

"I'm so fucking wet, just me the damn thing already!!!"

"Fine. It was 'Nico's the best.'" He throws me the towel and I dry myself.

I change into my pj's and storm outta there.

I grab Nico's collar and push him against the wall. "That wasn't very nice..." I whisper to him. I look him straight in the eye and got lost for a sec.

He visibly gulps and I smirk. "You know Nico," I began, tracing a line down on his cheek. "Bad boys should be punished." I look down to his lips and back to his eyes.

His eyes widen. "What do you plan on doing...?"

I let go him and over to the bed. I drop the pillow on the ground and smiled at him.

"You will sleep on the ground. I'm so angry that I want to kill you, but I won't." My smile got wider and hoped into bed.

"Night, Nico. Hopefully you learn from your punishment."

I go to sleep and leave Nico dumbfounded.

I wake up and Nico is still sleeping.

I yawn, then get out of bed.

I walk to the bathroom and snicker as I remembered what happened. "He's an idiot."

I clean myself up and change to meet up with Andy and them.

I leave the bathroom and walk over to where Nico is lying. I look at his sleeping face and blush.

You, weirdo, watching him sleep.

Some inner part of me whispered. I shake my head and kick his side. "Hey sleeping beauty! I'm not gonna wait forever for ya."

He groans and pulls my leg, causing my whole body to fall down. "Good morning, prince annoying." He mutters as he holds me in his arms.

I feel my cheeks heat up and I try to pull away from him. "Sorry, but I gotta head out early."

He groans. "But you're my girlfriend already." I get redder when he says the 'g' word.

"Don't use that word. It's weird to me." He smirks and sits up. "What? Girlfriend?" I hide my face from him, but he starts to tickle my tummy and I squeal like a pig.

"Stop! BWAHAHAH! STOP IT! NICO!!!" He tickles my armpits and I squeal again.

"Clare!" Andy shouts from outside. Nico pauses and I get up. I kiss him on the cheek. "Bye, Nico!"

I rush outside and Andy raises her brows at me. "Why are you blushing?" She questions me.

"I kissed Nico on the cheek." She slaps me hard on the back and laughs. "You made out with him when everyone was watching, and you're becoming shy now?" She points out.

I become even redder and slap my face. "I can't believe he did that."

Andy smirked. "But you helped out." I slap her hand away and pout.

I can't believe we did that. The damn fireworks.

"Clare's got a boyfriend! Clare's got a boyfriend!" Andy sang.

I stick my tongue out at her. "So do you! Andy's got a boyfriend! Andy's got a boyfriend!"

She rolls her eyes. "I thought we already covered this. Yes, Clare, I have a boyfriend. His name is Cole. Son of Hermes. Remember?"

I roll my eyes and shrugged. " Yeah, yeah. Whatever."

"Hah... You're too cute Clare. Or shall I say, 'Prince Annoying.'" She giggles. I smack her.

"You should go on a date." Andy suggested.

"What?" I asked her.

"Yeah, it would be good for the two of you. I also have nothing to do. This will keep me preoccupied at the moment."

"You're first date will be amazing!" She squealed. I huffed and crossed my arms. "Aren't first dates really cliché? Can't the quest be our first date?"

"No." Andy snapped. "I called it already and I don't want my very first date to be a double date."

I rolled my eyes. "Fine, but I get to pick where we go."

"..From what the girls and I come up with. You're only to pick of the ones we like." She says sternly.

I pout and huff. "Fine. You guys can't go, though."

She also pouts, but nods sadly. "We choose your outfit."

My eyes widen. "Hell no! You're going to make me dress up in something that would hurt my eyes."

"Pleeeeeeeease!!!" She begged. I shook my head. "Fine, Piper will decide your clothes, kay?"

"Okay..." I sighed. She ran off happily and my palms got sweaty as I think about the date. I slapped my head for being idiotic on agreeing to Andy's plans.

Maybe I can still cancel? But knowing Andy, she would've already have something prepared. I looked back at our cabin and think about all the outcomes of the date.

~~~

"Clare!!!" Andy shouted. I stopped chopping up a dummy and walk up to her. "Yeah?"

"We have narrowed down all the places you could go to." Andy said proudly.

She held up her finger. "First choice, a romantic candle light dinner."

I made a face and she continued. "Second, the graveyard." I stepped on her foot. Hard.

"Owwy! Clare!!!" She hopped around, holding onto her foot. "Third is the carnival." She said.

I pretended to think about it and stepped on her other foot. "Hmm, how 'bout none?" I growled.

"The first one makes me want to throw up. The second is just mean and the third one is too bright. This is the best you've got?"

She gasped. "You didn't let me finish! There's a fourth, you can go to the zoo."

I sighed. "Dude, what were the options you crossed out?" I asked her.

"You know, the movies, the mall. The typical ones."

"I'll... I'll think about it more later. At the campfire, okay?" I said. She nodded her head and walked away sadly.

"Hey, Clare." Nico greeted me from behind. "Hi." I said smiling, feeling a strange comforting feeling.

"What're you doing?" He asked. "Nothing much." I replied.

"Expected from a loner, like you." He muttered. I felt steam come out from my ears as I turned to face him. "Is that so, Jackass?" I stepped on his foot repeatedly and stomped away. Damn, jerk!

How the hell did I end up liking him?! He's so annoying with that mouth of his. The way he rolls his eyes. Gahhhh! I don't get how kindergartners deal with this...

"Get back here, you!" He tries to run to me, but his limp slows him down. "Hec no! Try and catch me first, jackass!" I stick my tongue out at him and jog lightly away from him. Serves him right!

He runs to me with the limp, but trips by some random banana peel. He falls onto of me and I laugh at our situation. "Oh my Gods! That was... Whew!" I keep giggling and Nico looks down at me seriously. "At the campfire, look for me. I have something to show you." He gets off of me and walks away- normally?

I glare at him. Gah, such a dick. But he did just look like more of an idiot back then. I guess it's alright?

I look down at my hands and think about what he said. He wants to show me something, huh. At the campfire. I sigh and look down at my hands.

~~~

Nico's P.O.V

Oh Gods! How the hell did this happen?

I felt the blood rush to my cheeks as I walked away from Clare.

Did I seriously say that? I'm going to show her my secret spot. The place I go to calm my mind. Or rather my place to hide from her.

Especially when she gives me really bad headaches. "Shit." I say as a guy bumps into me. "Ah, sorry man!" He exclaims. He quickly goes away and leaves me there. "Um,okay then?" I look back at his exiting figure and furrow my eyebrows.

"Weird." I shake my head and keep worrying about how I'm going to show it to Clare.

I walk over to see Percy teaching some of younger demigods sword techniques. "Hey." I say. He holds up a finger and dismisses his class. "Hey, Nico! What's up?"

I shrugged. "I sorta have this date."

He punched me on the arm. "Damn, Nico. Is she the girl you made out with during the campfire yesterday?"

I smacked him on the shoulder. "I'm seriously going to murder you." I hissed at him.

He chuckled. "Okay, okay. I'll help you since I still owe you a favor." He crossed his arms and leaned against a tree. "Whaddya want me to do?" I sigh.

"I need you to help me with everything. I have no idea what to do."

"Can I bring Annabeth along to help?" He asks, hopeful.

I sigh again. "Sure, as long as you remember that it's MY date."

Percy smirks and nods. "Sure, Nico. Whatever you want."

YAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH. I'm back banshees! Can't get rid of me that fast. So, how have you all been? I just went to my very first track meet!!! And yes, I did sit on the bleachers only :'D. Well everything was cool and all, and cute guys;) ;) Jkjk, but I think we won? Idk. Oh well.
