As promised Thalico. My first Thalico so please review and tell me if you like it. And I apologize for how short it is.

Thalia Grace was taking care of her hunters. They were fighting against the Titans and some of her girls had serious injuries. None of them were serious enough to die, but still it was her job to take care of them now. That's part of the reason she let Luke and Annabeth go on. She couldn't stand seeing people in pain, especially people she cared about. That's why, if it was necessary, Thalia was willing to take one for the team.

She sighed turning around. That's when she saw him.

Nico.

She felt everything slow down as she took in what she was seeing. Connor and Travis Stoll were carrying Nico. He had a knife in his chest.

She ran over and helped the Stolls carry him to a couch in a small room. "Bring me supplies." She barked at Travis. "Now."

"What the hell did you do?" She asked him staring at the knife.

"Pesky monsters." He said weakly. He was deathly pale, only made worse by his dark hair and dark eyes.

Thalia rolled her eyes and bended down on her knees to lean on the couch. She paused for a moment then put a hand on his cheek. "You'll be okay." She promised.

"Well I have you to take care of me." He grinned but hen winced.

At that moment Travis arrived with the supplies. He handed it to her and she quickly dug through. "Shit." She whispered.

"What?" Nico whispered his eyes closed.

"Nothing." She turned around and placing a vice like grip on Travis' arm.

"Owww." He whined.

"Katie wanted me to tell you something." She squeezed his arm harder and dragged him over to a corner of the room. "We have to take that knife out now." She whispered frantically.

"Wow, even I knew that."

"We don't have any drugs to give him and even if we did we can't wait that long." She gestured frantically with her hands.

"Okay I could see how that could be a problem." Travis looked over at Nico.

An idea came to her. "Pull out the knife." She ordered.

"What? You do it. I don't want to hear him scream." He gave her a you be crazy look.

"Don't worry. Just pull it out when I give the cue." She assured him.

"What fucking cue?" He asked exasperated.

"You'll know." She assured him and turned back to Nico.

"Wait." Travis grabbed her arm. "What did Katie want you to tell me."

She raised an eyebrow at him. "...That was an excuse Travis."

"Right, right, right." His face flushed.

She turned back to Nico and bent down on her knees again.

His breathing was shallow and Thalia could his chest struggle to pump air in and out again. She leaned over him.

"Nico." She whispered and kissed him.

He didn't respond at first but slowly and surely he kissed her back. Thalia felt her heart drop into her stomach. She cupped his face in both of her hands.

Travis sighed and wrenched the knife out of his chest. He quickly placed a clean, cotton gauze over the wound and put pressure on it so he wouldn't bleed to death.

Nico winced sucking in a breath. But his lips didn't move off of Thalia's.

This had all happened within a matter of seconds but it felt like ages before Thalia finally pulled away.

Nico winced looking down at his chest.

Thalia avoided his eyes as she handed him some ambrosia. "Take care of yourself, kid." She said standing up and walking out.

Stop it, she told herself.

You did it because you love him and you didn't want to see him in pain. She assured herself.

Not because you're IN love with him.

Right?

RIGHT?

Whaddya think? Good, bad, terrible. Tell me in the reviews.
