Capture the flag... And the girl
Percy POV
"Hi Nico," she said, blushing. "Fancy seeing you here."
"Oh," he stuttered. "H-hey, Katie. Umm, sure is."
I snickered, slightly stunning Nico Di Angelo and Katie Gardener. Hey, she was interrupting my chat with Nico.
Katie turned several shades of red and I immediately felt sorry for her. "Oh, sorry Percy," she said. "I, uh, I have to go to archery class. See you later, Nico?"
"Sure. See you," He replied with a goofy grin on his face. When she left, I could tell that he was holding his breath because he started gasping for air.
I laughed, remembering my first time talking to a girl I liked. "Dude, you're hyperventilating. It's just Katie."
He scowled. "Just Katie? She may be just Katie to you but to me she's Katie," he said her name with as much tenderness as I say Annabeth's sometimes. He was kind of in a dream-like state when I told him that she likes him.
"Wait, what?" he almost screamed.
"She likes you."
He stared at me with a mistrusting glare. "Don't lie to me."
I chuckled, "I'm not. Katie is friends with Annabeth and Juniper. Girls talk to each other and sometimes girlfriends talk to their boyfriends. I mean, it happens occasionally." I said with as much sarcasm as I could muster.
"What's this about girlfriends I hear?" I turned just in time for Annabeth to give me a kiss. It was just a peck but enough to make Nico gag.
"Oh, Nico is just having girl trouble. He thinks that Katie doesn't like him." I summed up.
Annabeth hit me. "Didn't you tell him?"
"Tell me what?" Nico piped up.
"Not yet," I smirked. "I didn't think he was ready."
"Not ready for what?" Nico's voice was a little more strenuous.
"Well, I really think you should tell him now." Annabeth stressed.
I sighed. I swear, sometimes Annabeth can sound like my mom. "Ok, fine." I turned to Nico's anxious face. "Would you like to be on our Capture the Flag team?"
Nico looked disappointed. "You really held me in suspense for that? But, yes, of course."
Annabeth smiled consolingly. "We really wanted you to join because Demeter is on our team this week."
Nico immediately perked up. "Oh. Well, in that case..." His voice trailed off as he was lost in thought.
While Nico was occupied, I decided to take this opportunity to hug my girlfriend. I grabbed her waist and pulled her closer into what I expected to be a hug but she wrapped her arms around my neck and brought her lips up to mine. This kiss was more than our last little peck. It was almost like our first kiss after the war. It was, simply put, perfect. That is, until we were interrupted by the conch horn signaling lunch. We both looked away into Nico's disapproving face.
"Well, that was gross. I'm off to lunch now." He said before running off to join the rest of the camp.
After he was gone, I leaned down and stole another kiss from Annabeth. I pulled away and slid my hand into hers. "Shall we?"
She smiled. "Let's go."
Please review! It makes me feel good:)
