Nico typically wouldn't admit that he was confused. But he was really confused. He wasn't completely oblivious to things. He thought he wasn't anyway. Most of his friends around him would say otherwise, just not to his face. There were times where he was as oblivious as Percy when it came to crushes and flirting.

That wasn't his problem right now. Not that he knew of. It was the son of Ares. The new kid who had been brought to camp by a young satyr a little over a week ago. He'd been claimed that night and happily welcomed into his cabin with the rest of his siblings. Everything was pretty normal when it came to the new demigod.

Nico had kept his distance, as usual, and had been talking with Jason who was visiting from Camp Jupiter. They had been sitting on Cabin Thirteen's porch when Daxton was getting a tour around camp by Chiron. The new demigod had stopped and stared at the two sitting on the porch, but they didn't think anything of it. Jason smiled and waved a little while Nico gave a very small nod of acknowledgement. He still wasn't a social butterfly with people, but he had gotten better at sort of coming out of his shell. He still preferred his own group, though.

Nico hadn't thought anything of it until they were sitting around the campfire. Nico was sitting next to Jason again with Piper, Leo, Percy and Annabeth around them. Nico was keeping an eye on Leo since the other was tinkering with something that was already sparking and the son of Hades was wary of an actual explosion. Will Solace was sitting nearby with the Apollo cabin, which was a new twist that started soon after the war with Gaea. Usually the Apollo cabin would sit closer to the front since they led the sing a long but since Will let Nico out of the infirmary, the blonde seemed to always be close at hand. Again, not something the dark teen really thought about. Will would do whatever Will wanted. He had learned real fast how stubborn the blonde could be and he chose not to argue with him most of the time. It made everything a lot easier.

Nico was jumped out of his thoughts by a large, burly figure sitting next to him, actually pushing Jason out of the way since the Ghost King was sitting on the edge. Pushing Jason meant that Piper and Leo got pushed as well, and the mechanic ended up on his face on the floor since he wasn't paying attention enough to catch himself. The blonde of the group protested loudly but was greatly ignored.

Daxton was tall and large. He was built like a quarter back with broad shoulders and legs with butcher hands. His dark brown hair was shaved on the sides and longer on top and his eyes were a dark, dark brown that look black in the shadows. His face was pointed and almost harsh in the lack of light. He was a lot like his father, definitely. Nico wasn't a fan of Ares or most of his kids.

"Hey," the other greeted. His voice was deep and gruff and the smirk he had almost looked like a sneer. Not very attractive in Nico's opinion.

Nico raised a brow at him. "What?"

"Just wanted to come over and say hi," he shrugged. "I'm Daxton Hunter. Son of Ares." He offered his hand that Nico didn't take.

"I know," the other replied simply. He didn't appreciate being pushed away from his friend like that or being interrupted from their comfortable silence as everyone else chattered for a bit before the songs started. Jason definitely wasn't happy either, as shown by the glares he was shooting the larger male. Percy and Annabeth were sitting in front of them and had turned back to see what was going on and what the war child wanted with Nico. This wasn't usual and it didn't seem innocent to the rest of them.

"What's your name?" the other pressed.

"Why don't you go back to your cabin?" Jason asked, still glaring.

Daxton glared right back, looking like he would like nothing more than to push the other down the stairs of the amphitheater.

"Alright, ladies! Break it up!" They all jumped as Coach Hedge suddenly appeared behind Leo. It got everyone's attention up on their group.

"Hey, Dax! Whatcha doin' with those losers?" another son of Ares called from where Cabin Five were clustered together close to the rest of the Aphrodite kids.

Daxton shot another dark look at Jason before he got up and went back to his cabin mates, grumbling to himself. Nico noticed Will Solace shooting a glare towards Daxton as well, but he couldn't understand why. Though, he and his siblings didn't entirely get along with the Ares cabin, so it was probably just usual rivalry.

"What is his problem?" Jason muttered as he scooted back over next to his friend. Leo righted himself and muttered to himself as he checked that his newest toy wasn't damaged from his fall. Hedge had wandered off again to check that the Hermes cabin didn't have any fireworks or noise makers on them tonight.

Nico shrugged. "I have no idea, but that was weird."

"I don't trust him," Piper stated simply, staring at the Ares cabin from her spot. They almost always sat as a group so no one questioned them if they weren't always with their cabins. Nico, Jason and Percy were only kids, so they hung out the most. It wasn't fun to sit alone, and they made sure Nico didn't go back to his loner self.

"He'll get over whatever it is once he finds someone to pick on," Nico sighed.

"Dude, you sure that won't be you?" Leo asked, looking up from his invention.

"I don't think he was looking to torment him," Annabeth stated. "More like he was…trying to get to know him?"

"I think we have enough friends from the war god," Percy inputted. He and Clarisse had a flimsy truce. They were sometimes friends and sometimes they hated each other. Their other friend of war, Frank, didn't act much like his father or siblings. He was a big teddy bear so everyone loved him. Daxton was no teddy bear. He was a rabid dog waiting to bite. That's what most of the group saw. Nico saw him as another annoyance that he would have to put up with.

He loved Camp Half-Blood, but there were times he wished he could travel away for a while. He still wasn't allowed to shadow travel, though. Will had promised to hunt him down and disintegrate him himself if Nico tried to. He wasn't quite ready to try it again, yet anyway. He would just deal with it.

"I'll talk to Chris to talk to Clarisse." Speak of the devil, and he will make himself known. The group turned to look at Will who had moved a little closer to them. "I'm with Piper."

"It's not a big deal, I can handle myself," Nico stated simply.

Will gave him a look. "It would give your friends some peace of mind, so shush."

Nico rolled his eyes and sighed. The others agreed that it was a good idea to learn more about the newcomer and keep an eye on him for now. Nico tuned them out, leaning his head on his hand with his elbow on his knee. He stared off to the side, missing both looks thrown at him. One coming from across the way that was dark and calculating, and the one from only a few feet away that was concerned and a little defensive. Will was going to be keeping an eye on the Ghost King for a while. Just to be sure he was going to be alright.

This will be a multi-chapter. Don't know how many exactly yet. Hope people would like to see more 3
