Chapter Thirteen - Kiss, date, and kill

A/N: Hello Hello! So yeah...I was outta town with my friends this weekend. I didn't have any time to type up my story, but I wrote it out longhand. I hope you enjoy this chapter because I spent nights writing while they were watching youtube.

Happy Reading Everyone!

Nico's P.O.V

After the party ended and everyone went back to their cabins, Percy, Annabeth, Will, Jason, Piper, Leo, Calypso, and I decided to hang out in the Poseidon cabin to talk. I personally didn't really want to be in my former crush's cabin. But the only empty cabins were the Big Three cabins. And Zeus, being the temperamental God he is, would most likely blast us to pieces if we were in his cabin...and there was no way I would invite others into the Hades cabin. So the Poseidon cabin was the best option, even if it made it incredibly awkward for me.

Right now Leo is telling us about his journey to Ogygia and how he was the first man to find his way to the island twice, therefore deserving a medal. He's a bit big headed if you ask me. Sure he was the first to find Ogygia twice, but it's not that hard...all you have to do is fly around aimlessly searching(and if you have a bronze dragon like Leo, it's even easier). I was the first demigod to travel through Tartarus, shouldn't I get a medal? Ugh now I'm sounding big headed.

"So after I picked up Sunshine here," Leo says, gesturing to Calypso. "We flew around until we found land. We stayed at a hotel in Limabean, Peru or something like that. Then after a night, we carried on our gruelling journey in search of Camp Half Blood." I can tell my friends are getting a little bored with the story(like me). It's hardly noticible though. Piper is playing with her bracelets like they're the most interesting thing. Jason is absent mindedly summoning mini lightning bolts in his fist. Annabeth is tapping her fingers on her leg lightly, whereas Percy looks like he's full on playing the piano. Even Calypso looks bored, she keeps braiding and unbraiding her long hair. I think Will is the only one who is actually trying to pay attention to Leo. He's so nice, I could never do that.

"We flew toward the fireworks, praying to the Gods that it was Camp Half Blood, and it was! And that is what happened...yeah," Leo finishes.

"Great story, Leo. It's nice to meet you Calypso," Annabeth says hurriedly, before Leo can continue his story. "Percy's told me about you, Calypso."

"Percy told you about me?" Calypso looks and sounds surprised.

"How about we play a game?" Piper offers. Everyone nods in agreement.

"Truth or dare?" Jason suggests.

"Too unoriginal," Piper retorts.

"Would you rather?" Jason tries.

"Too boring!"

"Never have I ever?"

"Too complicated,"

"What about kiss, date, and kill?" Jason sighs. But before Piper can say anything he interrupts her. "I'm running out of ideas, Pipes." What is Zeus's name is kiss, date, kill? It sounds weird.

"Okay sure, let's play that," Piper agrees. "But one rule: no getting mad at someone for saying they'd kiss/date/kill your boyfriend or girlfriend."

"Sounds good," Annabeth nods.

"Wait how do you play?" Calypso and I both ask at the same time.

"Somebody picks three people for someone else to choose from. You have to decide who you would kiss, who you would date, and who you would kill." Piper explains. "There are different versions of the game too, like who who would you marry, sleep with, and torture." I raise my eyebrows and shudder. Eww, sleep with? Why? "But I don't like that version!" She adds when she sees my expression.

"Let's play!" Leo shouts. "I'll start...three people are...Jason, Annabeth, and Percy! NIco? Your thoughts?" I groan. I wonder if he knows I'm gay because ⅔ of the people he said are guys. I don't see how he would know though. I've only told Jason and Percy and Piper. Well Jason is Leo's best friend so he may have told him.

"Nico?" Leo waves a hand in front of my face.

"Oh right! Umm...date Annabeth, kiss Jason, and kill Percy," I reply. My answer gets a lot of different reactions.

"Aww bro! You wanna kiss me!" Jason coos.

"Well I'd rather kiss you than Percy,"

"Gods Nico! I know I'm not "your type", but I didn't know that you want to kill me!"

"Wait Nico? Why do you want to date Annabeth? I thought you were gay?" Leo accuses. Crap so he does know I'm gay...I wonder how?

"Guys, it's just a game. It's not serious." Piper reminds everyone. "Okay Nico, three people."

"Uh...Drew, Piper, and Aphrodite," I say smirking. "Will? Your turn," Will's face pales.

"I think I'd...date...Piper...kiss Aphrodite...and kill Drew," He says slowly as if he's not sure.

"Hey, Drew isn't that bad once you get to know her." Piper defends.

"Well Aphrodite would probably turn me into a dove if she heard I would kill her. ANd I didn't want to kill you...so Drew was the best option. "Will explains. "And she tried to flirt with both Nico and I,"

"I'm glad you don't want to kill me. Okay Will, three people."

"Perce!" Will exclaims. "Who would kiss date and kill out of...hmm…" He grins-well his grin widens because he's already grinning. "Out of Annabeth, Calypso, and Nico!" Percy grimaced.

"Will! That's impossible! I can't choose!" Percy protests loudly. "I definitely don't wanna kill my girlfriend! But I also definitely don't wanna kill my bro, Nico. And killing Leo's bae would be super mean and cold hearted! I already disappointed Calypso back before the battle of Manhattan. And she's too sweet to kill...she's also impossible to kill. You know…'cause she's an immortal goddess. This is impossi-"

"Percy!" Annabeth snaps impatiently. "It's just a game, no hard feelings." Percy pouts.

"Hey, if you don't want to kill any of them, we can change it to who would you marry, date, and kiss out of the three?" Will offers. Percy just glares at him.

"Fine. I think I'd marry Annabeth, date Calypso, and kiss Nico." Percy huffs. Him and Annabeth exchange kissy faces and I roll my eyes. Geeze we get it. You're "in love". But the bigger problem is the fact that my face is heating up. Why? Because Percy just said that he would kiss me! Don't blame me! If your ex crush said they would kiss you, I'm pretty sure your face would be red too. Thankfully no one notices...I hope.

"Thanks for saying you'd date me Percy, but you're not really my type. " Calypso and I must share a brain because we both used that same wording "not my type".

"Why am I nobody's type?!" Percy exclaims. "I'm not Nico's "type", Athena and Poseidon are enemies, and apparently now I'm not Calypso's "type" either! Am I just that unlikeable?!"

"You're my type, Percy. I don't care if Poseidon and Athena are enemies."

"Yeah of course you don't, Annabeth. Poseidon didn't come to threaten you to be nice to me, did he? NO he didn't!"

"He did actually. Not in person, He called via Iris Messaging." Annabeth retorts.

"Poseidon and Athena HATE each other! Why are their kids dating?"

"Because you guys love each other!" Will blurts. "And I think it's cute. It's a "forbidden love", like Romeo and Juliet!" I look over at him.

"You know what else is cute?" Percy winks. Will shakes his head, unsure where this is going. "You and Nico!"

"Yeah!" Piper agrees. "You two are perfect for each other!" Will blushes and I think I'm blushing as well. "I mean, light and dark? Sun and shadow? Music and creepy-crawly dead things? Polar opposites!"

"Well thanks," Will says awkwardly. "I'm glad you approve…?"

"Oh I haven't approved you yet , Mister!" Jason says, waggling a finger at Will. "I need to do a full background check before you start dating my little bro!" Everyone starts laughing except for Leo and Calypso because they seem to be in their own little world. I facepalm.

"Why don't we just continue the game?" I suggest before this can get even more weird.

"Okay great idea...is it Percy's turn?" Will eagerly says.

"It was my turn, and boy do I have a good one!" Percy winks. Or, tries to wink. "Nico, who would you kiss, date, and kill, out of…"
