Aria's one shot

"Percy!" I shout, running down the stairs. He looks up from the guy he was talking to.

"Yea, Aria?"

"Can you give me a ride to ballet class?"

"Nico can"

"Who is Nico?" I ask. The tan, dark haired boy raises him hand. "Alright. Can you? You'd be a life saver."

''Sure. I'm Nico."

"Aria."

"Art class?" He says, helping me into his truck.

"Ballet." I correct. He laughs and closes my door. When he walks to the drivers side and gets in, I ask the 100 dollar question. "Are you like Percy and Annabeth?"

"What do you mean?"

"Demi-gods. Percy's dad is Poseidon and Annabeth's is Athena." I say as he starts the car and begins to pull out of the drive way.

"Mine is Hades."

"That. Is. So. Freaking. Awesome!"

"How high are you right now?" He teases.

"I'm not. Have you ever been to Hell?"

"I like your eyes." He says, changing the subject.

"Thanks." I push my chin length hair behind my hair.

"Why don't you grow your hair out?"

"Prefer it short. Why don't you?"

"I'm a man."

"So?"

"Dudes have short hair."

"Says who?"

"Everyone."

"That means women are only allowed to have long hair, then. Doesn't it?"

"Err... is this the ballet studio?"

"That's what I thought and yes."

"May I take you to coffee soon?" Nico asks, blushing. I write my number on his hand.

"Here's my number. Text me before you drive off and I'll text you when I need to be picked up." He blushes and nods.

2 hours later

I text Nico.

Me: hey, Nico. Can you pick me up? Class ended.

Nico: yea. Sure

Within half an hour I'm in his car.

"Where to?" He asks.

"Wherever you want."

"What about that coffee?" He asks. I nod.

Ten minutes later

"You are Percy's sister?"

"Yea."

"You look nothing alike."

"I'm adopted. When mom died, Percy let me move in with him."

"That's cool." He says. I nod. "Favorite color?"

"Purple. You?"

"Black. Pastime?"

"Ballet."

"Person?"

"No one."

"God or goddess?"

"Athena and Artemis."

"Pick one."

"Can't."

"Any superpower?"

"Seeing the future."

"Book?"

"Divergent."

"Movie?"

"Harry Potter."

"Exes?"

"None."

"First kiss?"

"No one."

"How?"

"Not pretty enough."

"Well, I think you are beautiful." He says honestly. I blush.

"Thanks."

A month later

I'm watching TV when Nico texts me.

Nico: get dressed you're going to the park with me.

Me: sure. I'd love to come to the park. Thanks for asking me.

Nico: you're welcome.

Me: I was being sarcastic.

Nico: I know.

I sigh and put on a dark purple dress and 1 inch heels.

An hour later

Nico and me are dancing. Or trying to. He is teaching me to slow dance. I sigh and step away to take off the heels.

"One more try Nico." I say. He nods. I dance through the whole dance without stepping on him.

"Light as air, love."

"I'll try." My feet barely make a sound. I turn my face to tell Nico something and our lips meet. Nico gently moves his lips. I kiss him back. He pulls away to breathe.

"Sorry."

"For what?"

"Kissing you"

"I enjoyed it."

"Can I do it again?"

"Yes please."

Two months later~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~#~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Ready love?" Nico says.

"Happy two months, baby." I say. He kisses me.

"I'm not sure I accept this." Percy says. I pull away and throw my flip flop at him. He catches is and tosses it back. Nico catches it. "Kidding! Kidding!" I put my flip flop back on.

"I need to borrow a pair of sunglasses, Percy."

"Here." He tosses me a pair.

" I love you, Ari." Nico says as I get in his truck. I pause and look at him.

"I love you too, Nico."
