Hey Guys,
It's me again. New story here, hopefully this one will be easier to write. I haven't given up with On the Road to Recovery, just had a new idea.
Chapter 1- A for Accident
This was never supposed to happen. Once Thalia swore off men, they were only supposed to be friends. Aphrodite obviously had other ideas for them. That day in summer, when the Hunters visited, changed everything for Nico and Thalia.
They had spent the whole day in Nico's cabin, because Thalia's cabin 'creeped her out', just talking and watching re-runs of friends. Nico loved spending time with Thalia, and she loved spending time with him. It rarely happened though, with Thalia being a hunter and Nico constantly being called to the Underworld.
As always, Capture the flag had been organised that night. Of course it would be Camp Half-Blood versus the Hunters, and the Hunters would probably win. Tensions were running high in the camp, but everyone could see Nico and Thalia laughing and joking around.
Both teams lined up on their own side of the creek, while Chiron recited the rules. Thalia smirked at Nico, and the game begun. Nico retreated to guard his flag, while Thalia raced to grab it. She was no more than 200 metres away, when Nico appeared in front of her. They collided and flew to the ground. As they hit the ground, their lips met and both teens felt a spark. The kind of spark you hear about in books.
Thalia jolted upright and stood dumbstruck. 'Th…That…That did not just happen. You hear me? Nothing happened' she screamed, her skin prickling with electricity.
'Yeah, I hear you,' Nico stuttered, honestly fearing for his life. As he said this, Thalia took off towards her side of the creek.
Screams of joy and excitement could be heard from the Hunters when Phoebe landed on her side of the creek with Camp Half-Blood's flag in her hands.
For the next few days they avoided each other. Well, in reality, Thalia avoided Nico. Nico couldn't stop thinking about their kiss. His first kiss. The sparks he felt between them. He knew he had feelings for her, and he was pretty sure she felt the same.
The last day of the Hunters visit came and all the campers were ecstatic. All aside from Nico, for him it was the last day he'd be able to see Thalia for an undetermined amount of time. Because of this, Nico knew he had to tell Thalia about his feelings and hope that she'd stay, for him.
Nico searched for Thalia everywhere, Zeus' cabin, Artemis' cabin, the canoe lake, the arena. Then it came to him, Zeus' fist! He raced across the camp, ignoring the looks from younger campers, to the place their little 'accident' had happened. That's where he found her, curled up at the top of the fist, with her chin on her knees, muttering to herself. 'Hey Thals' he said clearly, testing the air between them.
'Oh, em, hey' she replied unevenly, wiping her eyes with the back of her hands. Shit! She was crying. How did he not notice?
'Listen, Thals, I just came to say that-'
'I love you Nico. It's stupid, I know, but since our kiss I haven't stopped thinking about you. I'm a hunter and have sworn off boys, and I'm in love with you.' She made her way to Nico as she said this, looking him in the eyes the whole time. She was standing in front of him by that time she had finished.
By the look on Nico's face, Thalia could tell that he was shocked. She was about to open her mouth again to apologise, when Nico grabbed her waist and pulled her flush against him. He tilted her back and crushed his lips to his passionately. 'I'm never letting you go Thalia Grace.'
