Thalia's POV
"Still against us?" I asked Nico, who just sighed and nodded. I wasn't expecting anything else anyway.
"Two years, and he can't even let me be in peace as I date you. Such a bastard…" Nico grumbled darkly as we trudged down the road towards the school gate.
"Why are we here so early again?" I said in a tired voice. "I've slept for only five hours!" I exclaimed.
"I wanted to bring you out for breakfast." Nico said, flashing a bright smile at me. "In fact, we're already here." He said as he pointed at a signboard above us. I grinned as I saw the words "Burger king".
"Your favorite food, Thals." He stated. My grin widened as I heard him say that. No matter how many times he did this, it still makes me smile to know that he bothers to wake up early to bring me to eat my favorite food.
"Once again, you're the best boyfriend I can ever have." I complimented, hugging him tightly. His face reddened a little, but he smiled nonetheless, his eyes gleaming with happiness. I grabbed his hand.
"Lets quickly go and eat!" I exclaimed and pulled him in with me. Since it was still the early hours of the morning, the place was understandably quite empty. Students who ate their breakfasts occupied only around five to six tables. Even though Manhatten was an extremely crowded place, the place where they stayed in was noticeably less busy than the rest of Manhatten.
"Good morning. Welcome to Burger King, a place where you get the best burgers in the world. What would you like to order." The cashier said in such a monotonous, robotic voice that she sounded like she hadn't asked anything at all.
"Two turkey and ham, with hush browns, and two milos." Nico ordered for the both of us.
"Thank you. Please wait here for the food to be ready." She said in the same voice as the previous time before moving off to prepare our drinks. My eye twitched at her extremely boring and obviously disinterested behavior. Her tone alone annoyed me to no end. Gods, she's supposed to act all cheerful and welcoming, not some emotionless cashier.
"Did you tell Percy about coming out early?" Nico asked inquiringly. I shook my head.
"I didn't even get a chance to tell him. He wakes up so early, he was already gone when I woke up. Unfortunately," I said as I patted my stomach. "He had already prepared some breakfast, so I had to eat them. Don't worry. I have enough space fpr Burger King too. Just watch." I said cheekily, grinning playfully at him before wolfing down anything and everything that was on the tray.
It took me forty two seconds to swallow the whole burger down, chew the hush browns. While I was cleaning my mouth with a tissue provided by the restaurant, Nico was not even a quarter done with his meal. When he saw my empty tray, he shook his head and sighed resignedly.
"You're always so greedy for food…I often wonder why you're not even fat yet." He said exasperatedly. I huffed and crossed my arms.
"I just have high metabolism or something." I muttered in reply, causing him to chuckle.
"Okay, fine, high metabolism rate, fine…" He continued to eat his meal, cutting off the ridiculous conversation.
"Thanks." NIco looked up at me with questioning eyes. I smiled at him.
"Thanks for everything, Nico. The past two years have been the best years of my life. More than half of the happy and joyful things I have went through this ear were because of you." I said, smiling softly at him. He grinned at me and nodded.
"Well, it's a boyfriend's job to make their girlfriend feel like they're at the best time of their lives all the time, isn't it?" He said, winking at me playfully, causing me to make a disgusted face and press my palm into his face.
"Don't stare at me like that. It's disturbing." I said, turning away with a scowl on my face. I couldn't help but smile slightly as I heard him chuckle.
"I get it, Thalia, so can you please let go of my face so that I could eat?" He asked. I laughed and released his face from my grip. His hands immediately flew to his face and rubbed it.
"That was a little uncomfortable…" He muttered. I shrugged.
"Deal with it. That's what a boyfriend should do, right?" I asked with a cheeky grin. He glared at me, and then went back to eating silently. Most people would think he as really angry. But, knowing him, he probably just decided it was a waste of time to argue and instead went back to eating his breakfast.
"Let's go. I'm filled up to the brim!" He exclaimed as he swallowed down the last bit of his meal. I nodded.
"Yea. You eat real slow for a boy, y'know?" I teased.
"It's just that you eat abnormally fast, even for a boy." He retorted.
"What? Clarisse eats as fast as me!"
"Clarisse is a monster, worse than you! You can't compare her to yourself! Compare yourself to an average girl, not some overpowered huge girl!"
"Fine, whatever!" I looked away from him and sulked. I heard him chuckle, and glared at him.
"What's so amusing? Bastard." I asked. He smiled at me cheerfully, his eyes twinkling with amusement.
"Well, it's just that I wonder how people can be so scared of you. Sometimes, you act like a six-year old kid!" He laughed as my glare intensified.
"You…" I growled, my hand reaching out to whack him on the head. He quickly stepped away from me and pushed his hands out.
"Chill, chill! Just joking!" He laughed. Despite my "anger", I couldn't resist the grin surfacing to my lips.
"You always get under my skin, Death Boy." I complained. He smiled and gave me a thumbs-up. I rolled my eyes at his action and walked on.
A few seconds later, I suddenly heard him gasp. I spun around to see him staring at the phone with wide, shocked eyes.
"What's wrong?" I asked curiously, leaning over to see what he was looking at. His face suddenly broke into a freakishly happy and overjoyed grin as he showed me the screen. My eyes widened as I saw the email.
"He's…coming back! Oh gods…yes! The music boy's coming back! We'll get free musical entertainment from here on out!" I shouted, punching my fist into the air, my face radiant with happiness.
"Yep, the music prodigy, Micheal Yew, is coming back. Three cheers for him!" Nico shouted into the air.
That day, when we hared the news with everyone, we found out that all of them also received the same email. The Stoll brothers were screaming for joy, jumping on tables and telling everyone the news. Beckendorf and Silena were commenting about how they would get their favorite romance musician back again. Juniper and Grover were beaming, happy to get their friend back. Clarisse and Chris were discussing on what heavy metal songs they should get Micheal to sing and play for them. Annabeth was simply wondering who Micheal was.
Strangely, when we calmed down, we realized that Percy was nowhere to be seen.
