52 - Stirring of the Wind
Today was a certain type of day where the wind stirred; a Nico and Percy aren't talking day. You think the people in Camp Half-Blood would be scared with two out of three Little Big Three angry at each other, but the campers were happy and making bets. All setting out lawn chairs and beach towels near the squabbling duo; talking animatedly like this was a normal occurrence.
Maybe it was.
Nico's going down," Annabeth predicted, digging into her bowl of candy.
"Nu uh," Piper disagreed beside her best girlfriend. "Nico is like Jason. Strong and dominant," she elaborated, throwing six individual chips in her mouth. Annabeth glared lightly at the Cherokee girl, but decided to say nothing against her argument.
"Whatever, what do you think?" Annabeth questioned Rachel, who had a vacation from her smancy-pansy boarding school. Rachel glanced up from her frizz of curls.
"Nico is gunna be sore tomorrow!" she cheered and then pumped a fist in the air. Annabeth smirked; the odds were totally in her favor until Leo came along, curious on why they were all gathered around the scream-fest erupting between Percy and Nico, as if it was the Super Bowl or Oscars.
"Whatcha doin?" Leo inquired, dropping into the same beach chair as Piper.
"We're seeing who's going to win the fight and top," Annabeth explained.
"But they're screaming and yelling…" Leo trailed off, wondering if the girls were insane. Nico and Percy definitely looked like they were going to kill each other, totally not into the lovey-dovey 'aww, I love my boyfriend; sparkles, rainbows, big red hearts, gay pride and all that mess' mood.
"And later, they'll be having hot and angry sex with each other! Woo Nico, tell him off!" Piper cheered loudly. Rachel and Annabeth doing small cheering and clapping of their own.
He rolled his eyes, clucking his tongue at the girls. Whatever, he had nothing to do today. So, instead of fighting it against the girls about the nonsense they undoubtedly spouted, he joined in. He shoved a handful of buttery popcorn into his mouth. "Yeah, Nico! Top Percy's scrawny ass!"
