This stranger. . .was definitely an interactive character, Hazel couldn't help but think. When he had asked to sit next to her she didn't expect anything to come out of it. She couldn't help but wonder who he was, but shook it off, not wanting to ruin the peace. It's been so long since she felt at ease. . .especially since Frank's. . .departure from the world. They tells her to move on, but it seems only Nico understands, one of the reasons she is grateful for her brother.
As the stranger began to talk he came to a halt, a smile evident on his. "Do you know who I am Miss Levesque?," He asked suddenly, causing Hazel's eyes to widen. How did he know her name?
Just like that her demeanor became one of a suspicious being, but upon looking at the man, did he look familiar?
When not hearing an answer Hermes only grinned wider. Snapping his fingers he had easily changed back into his original form, in this case his roman one, which honestly. . .wasn't much different than his greek.
Hazel however, could barely keep calm. She had been sitting next to a god this whole time!
"My Lord," She bowed respectively, although Hermes-Mercury in this case, shook his hand and replied to cut it with the formalities, there were not need.
The demigod sighed, wondering what was to come of next for her.
Apollo looked surprised for a moment, and smiled again. "Aphrodite said you'd be a tough one," he said cheerfully. "But no worries. I happen to accept this challenge."
"No, see I…" Nico said. " I already have feelings for someone else?" He didn't mean for it to come out like a question, but lately it kinda had been a question that he was afraid to look into himself.
"But maybe we could give it a try, yeah?" Apollo said. "Come on, Nico. Give me a chance change your mind. three months, that's all i'm asking for. And I don't ask for things so often."
"Um, I honestly don't think three months is going to actually matter much," Nico said, distantly aware that he was turning down a god and it could get ugly, like, really ugly.
"Four weeks it is then," Apollo said, unsurprisingly unfazed. "Deal?"
"Uh," Nico said again, more and more confused by the minute. "I don't really…"
"Date, right? I guessed that, I mean know everything, but hey! First time for everything, yes?" Apollo said. "Just four weeks. And if not then I will leave you alone, I swear on it.
"I-I don't…alright, deal," Nico said, finally giving in.
Apollo grinned brightly towards him. "You're not going to regret it. Come, let me give you a ride back to camp." In those four weeks, Nico hadn't really thought of much to happen, but oh, how wrong he was.
He found himself to be swept off his feet. Little did he know, Apollo was feeling the same way. The god's feelings for the boy grew tremendously. He didn't think the young one would effect him so much.
Apollo had taken him everywhere! Musicals, concerts, even Mythomagic conventions! How were you supposed not fall in love with guy that took you to Mythomagic conventions? It wasn't until in the last week they had made to Apollo's large mansion in California that anything remotely happened. Nico huffed, he really hasn't seen his sister in a while. He decided on calling her later.
Hazel smiled, something she hasn't done in a while, and she admits it feels really good.
She had been spending more and more time with Lord Mercury (or just Hermes, saying he likes to be called by his greek name more) and couldn't help but start falling. It was like her feelings for Frank all over again. Only this time for a god. Hazel sighed, falling in love with a god was never good, she had talked to Piper and Annabeth about it, both voicing their own opinions in the matter.
"Your WHAT!" Annabeth exclaimed, Piper laughing in the background," What do your in love with him? You can't be!"
"Lighten up Wise One, I think its kinda cute. I mean, it's not like he's ugly right?. . .Hazel?"
Hazel smiled at the two close friends before answering, feeling lucky to have them.
"You alright?" A familiar voice knocked her out of her own thoughts.
