Aya and Leo arrived next, his hand on her waist and her head propped on his shoulder.
"Haaaaay you two," Kaya said. "How'd the clothes hunting go?"
"Oh…" Said Aya "Well we only found one item and… Uhm… We'll look for the rest tomorrow" she was blushing, remembering her bra sitting on top of the flag pole
"Oh, ok. Well we found all of my clothes. Want to see if any other pairs found your clothes?" Kaya asked, and Aya was about to answer when they were joined Alex.
"Hey guys. I found my clothes. Thank god. If I lost my Pierce The Veil t-shirt I think I would have died." She said, and then turned to Kaya. "Where were yours? Mine were in the strawberry fields." Then she gave a glance at Cy, who had gotten back to Kaya again, and quirked an eyebrow at her youngest friend. A look that clearly said Thought you weren't gonna get a guy, did you?
"Well hello then Kaya's guy!" Said Aya, her face in a wide smirk.
Kaya jumped. She hadn't noticed him. She shot her friends a shut up or I'm going to kill you look and blushed. "Oh, um, no. Not like that, guys. My clothes were in the woods. I think."
Alex looked over at Aya and caught her gaze. She wiggled her eyebrows up and down suggestively and grinned.
Kaya kicked her leg.
Aya returned the stare, looking from Nico to Alex
"So, where is the rest your clothes, Aya?"
"Haven't found them," she answered "Leo and I will go looking for them tomorrow after I teach my new brothers a little lesson" she looked over at Leo grinning and blushing at the same time.
Alex winced and then her grin got larger. She leaned her head back against Nico's shoulder. Her look said that she was totally unashamed about the fact that she was hanging off of him like a leech, despite the fact that she had only met him hours before.
Leo grinned devilishly. "Oh yeah this should be fun." He said, rubbing his hands together the way a mad scientist would.
"What happened?" Asked Kaya. But then a group of campers shushed them. "We should talk later." She whispered.
"It will be spectacular, believe me. But I still need you to help me get some sewing needles, scissors, and string" whispered Aya back, counting off the items on her fingers, nibbling on her lip in concentration.
"Umm, ok. There might be some in the Athena cabin. You know, weaving." Kaya noted before sitting down.
"Okay great!" She answered, an devilish look making her eyes alive.
"We should all go sit down," said Nico.
"Yeah, before you guys get shushed again," Kaya said.
Cy bent down to ask Kaya, "Hey, is this seat taken?"
Kaya blushed, "Not anymore."
He smiled and sat down beside her.
Leo and Aya sat down next to them, and Nico and Alex came joined them as they all sang along to the last few campfire songs, some holding hands in the dark where they though people couldn't see them, until the fire was low and they sang their last song.
The whole time, Aya kept her mouth shut, not wanting to sing and embarrass herself, but she did hum to the more catchy tunes.
When everyone started getting up, Annabeth came to them. "Hey girls" she said "I'll be taking you to your respective cabins"
"Oh, thanks, Annabeth," Kaya said. "Bye, Cy!"
"Bye, Kaya," Cy said with a little wave as he walked over to his friends.
"I can show Alex to our cabin Annabeth." Offered Leo. "I mean since she is my sister and all."
"Chiron sent me and said to remind you sir Leo not to crowd our new campers." Added Annabeth, giving the son of Hephaestus a pointed look.
"Well sorry I'm just trying to be nice to one of my new siblings." Said Leo, holding his hands up defensively.
"Relax Annabeth." Said Alex. "He can tell me all of the Hephaestus cabin secrets and we can talk about machines and stuff. And then you and Kaya can compare notes on architecture or physics or books or something." Said Alex.
She turned to Nico and hugged him quickly. "See yah later." She said smiling at him.
Nico gave her a quick kiss on the cheek before going the opposite direction, grinning like a maniac while Kaya giggled.
Alex sent kaya a death glare, but its effects were lowered because of how much she was blushing and smiling like an idiot.
"Is that pink I see on your cheeks Alex?" Asked Aya, acting surprised to even see the colour around her friend.
"Yeah, Alex," Kaya giggled. "Is it?"
"Shut up." She growled, glaring at her friends but still unable to wipe off the smile from her face. "C'mon guys. Lets go. I want to at least see my cabin before I drop dead from exhaustion. Today has been a long day." She started waking in the direction of the Hermes cabin.
When they all got there, Alex and Kaya went in to get their stuff, leaving Leo and Aya alone since Annabeth had disappeared someplace.
"I had lots of fun tonight." Said Leo then grinned. "And I expect to have more fun tomorrow when whatever you do to the Stoll brothers pays off. Kaya is getting you the supplies you need right?"
"Yeah I hope so" answered Aya, fiddling with the border of her dress again, trying to pull it down and getting mad at it when it wouldn't cover more than a third of her legs. "God... Couldn't my dad have given me something more practical?" she complained.
"Stop fidgeting with it. It looks hot on you." He said, pulling her hand away from the hem of her skirt so that he could lace his fingers with hers.
"I told you," She said as she looked up to his beautiful eyes, smiling, "I'm not hot!" She then dropped her gaze to look to their hands.
"Oh my gods! Come on guys. I want my hoodie back," she faintly heard Kaya saying through the thin door of the cabin "I feel sorry for Aya, you guys are annoying."
"Yes you most definitely are." Leo said, bringing back her attention to him, lifting her chin up so that she would look at him. "You're absolutely gorgeous. Stop being so self-conscious. You're beautiful. I honestly thought you were a child of Aphrodite when I saw you. I thought to myself 'holy Hephaestus, that girl is so gorgeous she MUST be a child of Aphrodite. I really hope she isn't stuck up so that I might actually have a chance with her.' Turns out your not in both accounts and I couldn't be happier." He grinned at her. "You're beautiful." He leaned down and pressed a soft, chaste, kiss to her lips. "Deal with it."
Aya was taken aback with surprise, bringing her hand to her mouth, still feeling the unforgettable pressure of his lips on her. "I-" she stammered "I…Uhm… Goodnight!" She opened the door to her cabin and went in, closing it and leaning her back against it for a few seconds, taking in everything that had just happened, before taking her courage with both hands and heading back out. Leo had started walking away, his head hanging low, a heart breaking expression on his face. She caught his hand and pulled him back to her "You forgot two things" she said, "your jacket" she took it off and handed it to him "and this…" She put both her hands on the back of his neck and pulled him down to kiss him deeply. His surprise quickly replaced by his hands on her back and his mouth kissing her right back with as much passion as she was.
"Oooooooohhh! Ayaaaaaaaa!" Kaya said from the doorway. "Get you some!" She laughed.
Oh gods Thought Alex from behind kaya. Wait till they find out that I made out with Nico before Aya and Leo even kissed. I totally need to talk to them about this tomorrow.
"Awwn look at how cute those two are!" Kaya said, clasping her hands together in front of her chest.
Leo blushed bright red but he had a goofy smile on his face. He reached down and hugged Aya tightly. "Goodnight. Ill see you tomorrow at breakfast, ok?" He whispered in her ear.
"Mhmm" she nodded before kissing him again quickly "Goodnight" and going back inside, her head still peaking out from the door as she watched him walk away.
Alex rolled her eyes and dragged her two best friends by their arms in a close huddle. "We need to have a Rebel Queens meeting tomorrow morning. Meet me outside of my cabin at 6:15. Then we can go somewhere to talk, ok?" She whispered to them.
Alex sighed, "Looks like my brother forgot me. Anyway good night guys! See you tomorrow morning!" Alex said before she winked and left to catch up to Leo.
Annabeth was just standing there, waiting for Kaya to come out as well. "Come on, Kaya. Almost curfew." She called out.
"Night, Aya! See you in the morning!" Kaya said before giving her a kiss on the cheek and quickly getting to her new sister, leaving Aya to think about all that had happened tonight.
Wow she thought today was a WHOLE different kind of weird than our regular stealing motor parts and machine building day.
