A\N: it sucks, I know.

I wrote it for Thaluke's week in pjoshipweeks, and I felt like posting it.

"Do you ever think about what's going to happen to us?" Thalia asked Luke. They were both in the mouth of a cave. Annabeth and Grover were inside the cave sleeping, but Thalia couldn't sleep, and Luke was guarding them.

"We'll get to camp half-blood." Luke said, "We'll be there tomorrow. We are so close that even if the monsters find us, we can get there before they can hurt us."

"I meant, like, me and you," Thalia said, "What's going to happen to us once we get to camp half blood?"

"Oh" Luke said, he had been scared of this question. He didn't want to have to answer it, because he really didn't know. He liked Thalia a lot, but everything was happening so fast with the monsters and Grover taking them to camp. He didn't want to mess up things between them because he was so confused about everything. He didn't say anything else.

Thalia looked down and Luke thought that he saw tears in her eyes. She turned and started to get up.

"I shouldn't have asked." Thalia said, she started to go into the cave. Luke grabbed her arm.

"I like you, I really do," He confessed, "but I'm afraid that I'll mess it up because I'm so confused and overwhelmed. I thought that me and you had something between us, but then we found Annabeth, and Grover came along, and things were happening so fast, and I didn't know if you had feelings for me, or if when we kissed was just heat of the moment or-" Luke stopped. Thalia was staring at him, and it was making him uncomfortable. He couldn't read her expression, but he was almost positive that it wasn't good. He let go of her arm, and he felt his face turn red. Then Thalia did something that caught Luke off guard. She kissed him.

"I like you too." Thalia said, after she had pulled away, "And I'm confused too. I feel the exact same way. We don't have to be together if you're not ready yet, but I don't think that you will mess it up, Luke. We've been through the same things, we can help each other deal with it."

There was a long pause.

"Ok." Luke said, then they kissed again.

That was the last real conversation they ever had. The next day the monsters caught up with them, and Thalia sacrificed herself so that the others could get to camp half-blood. Luke never told anyone about him and Thalia, and nobody ever suspected anything.
