Hey, I'm back!
I know right/ it's a miracle, if you were wondering, I hit a bit of writer's block, then I hit a bit of this thing called school and homework.
It's been a pretty crazy couple of months.
I actually started writing this on Valentine's Day but forgot to finish it so, here's my Valentine's Day gift to you guys!
Edit: EDITED :P
Things I'll Never Say: Lightning and a Walk in the Woods
Thalia Grace's POV: (A/N: I bet you thought it would still be Annika right?)
I watched the spot where Annika had just disappeared, and I heard Nico sigh softly beside me in resignation.
"She'll be fine, she's stronger than she appears," I said in attempt to comfort him.
"I guess," he said looking uncomfortable.
"Next up is…Nico Di Angelo!" Jade was announcing as the crowd's whispers died down.
Nico looked horrified and I started to laugh, hauling him up and pushing him towards the stage.
About halfway there he relaxed a bit
"This is for Thalia Grace, my best friend," he said awkwardly
She's staring me down with those electric eyes,
No matter how hard I try,
I can't escape that gaze tonight,
That girl's up in the atmosphere,
That girl's up in the atmosphere,
Oh,
Is he singing about me? I had always known Nico as my friend who I had a lot in common with, but I had begun wondering what would happen if it was more.
I'm hypnotized by the way she moves,
Baby girl please help me soothe,
Im'a take you to the sun and the moon,
That girl's up in the atmosphere,
Oh,
That girl's up in the atmosphere,
Yeah,
And I've been catching myself thinking of it,
It was three in the morning,
Every day I chase after her,
But I can't catch lightning,
Catching myself thinking of it,
It was three in the morning,
Every day I chase after her,
But I can't catch lightning,
No, I can't catch lightning,
Definitely for me, who else would lightning be? Jason? I shook the thought out of my head. That didn't make much sense.
She'll make you believe anything she wants,
Make you think that you're the one,
She will keep you there,
That girl's up in the atmosphere,
She's way up in the atmosphere,
And I've been catching myself thinking of it,
It was three in the morning,
Every day I chase after her,
But I can't catch lightning,
Catching myself thinking of it,
It was three in the morning,
Every day I chase after her,
But I can't catch lightning,
No, I can't catch lightning
Oh I can't catch lightning,
Yeah,
I can't catch lightning,
She's staring me down with those electric eyes,
No matter how hard I try,
I can't escape that gaze tonight,
That girl's up in the atmosphere,
That girl's up in the atmosphere,
That girl's up in the atmosphere,
Oh,
She's way up in the atmosphere,
I grinned as he smiled his shy smile that made me wonder what anyone would ever find creepy about this boy.
And I've been waiting, waiting, waiting for you,
Anticipating,
Chasing after things that you do,
But I can't catch lightning,
Waiting, waiting, waiting for you
Anticipating,
Chasing after things that you do,
But I can't catch lightning,
No, I can't catch lightning,
Oh yeah,
No, I can't catch lightning
Oh I can't catch lightning,
Oh no,
I can't catch lightning
He finished to lots of surprised applause; they obviously didn't know that he was a good singer and thought he was going to do some creepy perhaps depressing song.
Although it's not something that he would walk around telling everyone, so I'll grant them that, but I was the only one who knew he was a good singer; judging by people's reactions.
He stepped down from the stage and made his way over to me.
Unfortunately, now that he was 16 he was a lot taller than me, he was as tall as Jason and still growing. His hair had been cut a little shorter but was no less messy beachy waves that fell in his dark, dark, eyes.
"Can I speak to you privately?" I asked as he reached me.
"Uh, yeah," he said following me outside and a short distance away.
"So, what was that song about? Do you happen to have the same feelings for me as I do for you?" I said cutting straight to the chase.
"I-" he took a deep breath and looked at me.
"I'm not sure of anything and I don't know what I do feel but I do know that it's really strong and I care about you, and I want you to be happy and-" he rambled until I cut him off with a chaste kiss.
"How about we take this slowly until you figure it all out?" I said once he'd pulled away with his face a little flustered.
"Thank you," he said pressing our foreheads together and closing his eyes.
In the darkness where no one could see, I smiled.
I thought I might've seen a small smile grace Nico's lips too.
I hope you enjoyed that!
I don't own PJO or Lightning by Alex Goot
I do own the almost non-existent plot and the Original characters.
I can say though that, this will only be a few more chapters long, I think I'm done stalling.
Edit: LOL I thought I was almost done XD
Also, I am making this HoO compliant and you know what that means ;)
