They might be ooc so I'm sorry. P.S - I am very aware of HoH (I've read it already) so please so do not put petty comments saying 'Nico's ..., Thalia's a hunter! wtf?!1!1' Because I will ignore them.

He was slumped in a sofa, a black blanket covered his body. Indulging in a comic and hot cocoa, that was the best way to relax, Nico decides.

Other campers in CHB were outside, playing with the dead leaves. Making a pile then jumping on top of it and so on. Nico took a quick glance out of the window then shrugged. He really didn't care if he was alone in the cabin.

Sipping on his chocolate drink, a curve tugged on the end of his lips. Loudly flipping the comic book, his silence was ruined by a specific person, - a girl to be exact.

"What are you doing here?" She asks, wearing a knitted sweater that had all sorts of deer design on it. "Percy and them are going to burry Annabeth in the leaves. Come on!"

"No thanks." Nico replied. "As you can see, I'm busy."

Thalia's lip pursed as she peered over Nico's comic book. 'The Adventures of Spider-Man' The title says. Nice.

"Come on, Nico. If you don't come, I'll spoil Chapter 2-"

"Don't. You. Dare." He interrupted with a tone that can frighten ghosts. She merely smirked at him then threw a sweater directly at his face, his drink almost spilled on the sofa.

"What's this?" Nico asks, sitting up right and taking his blanket off his figure.

"It's a bag of cheeseburgers." She replied sarcastically.

He looked at it then frowned. "I'd rather have a bag of cheeseburgers than this..." His sweater was a black and white one. Small white knitted skulls contrasted the black background, and knitted grim reapers contrasted the black background.

"Suits you, doesn't it? Annabeth and I saw that in the shop and we had to get it for you." Thalia beamed. "Percy has one and it has sea patterns on it.. What are you waiting for? Put it on, ghost-boy!"

"Your one should be a tree..." He replied, putting on the sweater that was slightly big on him. It was comfortable, like the blanket he had on earlier.

"Har har." She replied. Before Nico could sit down, Thalia grabbed his hand and headed for the door.

"What are you-"

"Not letting your butt touch that seat again! It'll take me another sweater for me to get you out!"

He couldn't help but feel heat on his cheeks and ears. How embarrassing.. The son of Hades getting dragged by the daughter of Zeus as if he was a wee child. Thank the gods no one payed attention to them.

As the two arrived at their destination, they were immediately attacked by dried, orange coloured leaves. Some even getting into Nico's mouth.

"Hey, no fair!" Thalia laughed, taking off the leaves that clutched on her sweater.

Nico wiped his mouth clear of leaves and started doing the same to his sweater. It was really strange how he was already missing the warmth of Thalia's hand.
