Thalia was walking along the lake at camp half blood. She was thinking. After being kicked out of the hunters, Thalia often found herself walking by the lake, listening to Green Day. Thalia was wearing her usual clothes; a black Green Day tee, black skinny jeans, a black leather jacket and black boots.

After walking for a little while, she heard the familiar sound of footsteps behind her. She turned around and saw the boy that was least likely to show up.

"Nico Di Angelo," she said. He'd grown a lot. He must've grown at least 3 inches taller, making him taller than Thalia. He was wearing his casual clothes: aviator jacket, black tee with a skull on, black trousers and his skull ring. But somehow now it seemed... Hot.

"Hello Thalia, mind if I join you?" He asked

"Not at all."

She thought they might've walked for 10 minutes. All the time she was waiting for him to say something. She grew impatient and decided to break the silence.

"Why are you here?" She asked.

Nico sighed.

"The lake calms me down. Things haven't been... Easy after the war with the giants," he answered.

"Yeah, I know how you feel."

Nico smiled at her. She smiled back, but she couldn't shake off the feeling that there was another reason why he was there.

-later-

Thalia woke up to some idiot knocking on the door of her cabin. She quietly rubbed her eyes and slithered out of bed.

"Coming," she said sleepingly. She opened the door and saw Nico again.

"Gods, Nico, do you know the time?" She groaned while rubbing her eyes again.

"3.40 precisely," he answered. He acted natural, but Thalia could sense that he also was tired.

"Nico, go back to bed"

"Can I sleep with you?"

"What? But I'm a..." Thalia stopped herself. She felt like a hole had been punched through her chest. She missed the hunt, a lot. "Fine, come in."

Nico stepped into the cabin. Under the only light in the cabin, was a king size bed.

"Uh?" Nico asked.

"Jason doesn't come here often so I replaced the bunks with this bad boy," she replied. She felt heat flow to her cheeks, but she went and laid on the bed. Nico followed her. He laid himself next to her. She turned away from him, facing the wall. Nico put his arm around her and pulled himself closer to her. They fit perfectly together. Unconsciously, both of them was smiling. They both fell asleep in that position
