A/N: Just a quick little drabble that I wrote because I really should be studying for my history test tomorrow (stupid state tests) and I should also be doing math homework. But this is more fun. :D Enjoy!

Nico walked through the door of his bedroom, took one look at Thalia, and groaned- loudly. "Are you still studying?" he asked, exasperated. She had been studying for days now. That's pretty much all she did these days. Study, eat, study, drink, and study some more. He didn't even know if she slept anymore.

"Nico, not all of us are okay with failing. I need to pass this test. It decides my final grade for the course-"

"So does all the other work you did," he interrupted.

"-and I really want to pass this," she went on as if he had never spoken (which was unusual, really. If Nico had interrupted her any other time he suspected he would have gotten a slap over the head and an "I'm still talking!" from Thalia. This just showed how bad the situation was.). "I want to graduate college before my short time as a demigod on this gods- forsaken world is up. Is that so wrong?"

Nico sighed and resisted the urge to roll his eyes. "When you start living to work instead of working to live, yes."

Thalia, however, was already reading her textbook for what must have been the hundredth time. Nico, becoming desperate for a way to get her to relax for a while, walked over to the bed and lay on top of her. But, to much of his annoyance, she just moved the textbook onto Nico's back so she could see it better and continued to ignore him.

In between kissing her neck, Nico murmured, "Would you just relax?"

"Would you get off?" Thalia shot back distractedly.

"You know you want to," he teased.

Disproving his comment, she said, "Not right now. I'm busy."

Taking this rejection rather hardly, he decided to take it a little further and kissed her neck one last time before promptly sucking on her jugular. A moan escaped her lips and he grinned, satisfied at getting somewhere.

Trying once more, he pointed out to her, "You can study later."

She exhaled and, for a moment, he thought she was going to say no again. "One round," she said and threw the textbook onto the ground.

He chuckled and began to unhook her bra knowing that it would last way more than one round.
