SALUTATIONS HUMANS! I have decided to continue doing these one shots and will probably will continue my other stories as well. So please, send in as many requests as possible, if you're not sure if I know the fandom then please message me!
This story is from the PJO fandom.
Nico did not know much but he did know three things. He knew he was not in right place, unless Mcdonalds had turned into what looked like a teenagers bedroom. He knew that he was all out of energy and couldn't get out of this place. And he knew that he had no cell service. The list of things he did not know, however, was massive. He did know where he was. He did not know what language his unknowing host spoke. He did know who he host was. And he didn't know when the next time he could shadow travel was. So, instead of crushing his broken ego more by listing more things he did not know, Nico decided to explore, trying to increase the amount of knowledge he had.
He knew he was in a bedroom. Or just a random room with a bed. He knew his host used to like One Direction but now doesn't, as evident from the aforementioned bands poster being covered by a Vamps one. He knew there were two doors. He knew the door on the right was locked from the other side. He knew the door on the left was locked from his side and he knew where the key was, it was on top of the door. He also knew that he was too short to reach said key.
Not wanting to make a noise by jumping for the key, Nico tried to reach fro it with his sword. As he reached for the key, his sword almost having reached it, he turned around, towards a sound. The door on the right, the door that was locked from the other side had opened and in the door frame stood a screaming teenage girl in a bathrobe.
Kensie enjoyed being home alone. She enjoyed the freedom of being able to lay on the coach doing nothing, as opposed to laying on her bed with the door closed, doing nothing. She enjoyed the freedom of being able to cook whatever you want and to have no one judge you when you remember you can't cook for shit and so you just eat peanut butter dipped oreos for dinner. Kensie knew exactly what she was going to do with her day alone. She was going to bake brownies and eat them for breakfast, lunch and dinner. So healthy. She was going to dance around and belt out Whitney Houston songs, unafraid of being judged for being horrendously off-pitch. She knew exactly how her day was going to go shower-onwards. Boy, was she wrong.
Kensie didn't know what to do. She had had boys in her room but she had never had one spontaneously appear holding a sword. Where had he come from? Kensie was home alone and the door made an a ding-ing noise when it was opened. She would've heard the ding. Kensie didn't know what to do so she did the only thing she could think of. She screamed.
"No no no no.. shhhh.. I don't mean any harm. I'm just..." Nico couldn't think of an excuse that didn't make him sound crazy. So he made her sound crazy. He waved both his arm around in an eerie manner, manifesting black shadows from his finger tips that poked through the Mist, " I'm just a hallucination. A figment of your imagination. I don't really existent."
Kensie was stunned. She didn't know what to think. She couldn't still be high from last night and she didn't think she was crazy. But didn't all crazy people think they were sane? Maybe she was crazy. Random boys didn't just appear in your room. Kensie stood there, paralysed. She didn't know what to say, what to think what to do.
"So... are we good? Wait, are you okay?" Nico reached for the paralysed teen with his hand, forgetting it was holding a sword. Kensie, suddenly snapped out of the paralysation, and dodged the incoming steel weapon. She ran to her desk, aiming for her pepper spray. She turned towards her intruder. Trying to spray a flexible ruler. She figured she didn't have time to look for her pepper spray so she stated hitting her 'hallucination' with her ruler.
"OW! Ow! Stop it! I'm not gonna hurt you. Remember, I'm just a hallucination." Nico tried waving his arms around around.
"Bullshit. You tried to hit me with you sword. And I shouldn't be able to hit a hallucination and I'm not crazy. So either you explain to me who you are and what the FUCK you're doing in my room before I call the cops or I swear to God! I will kick you ass, I'm a black belt." Kensie said in-between hits.
"Wa..Wait! You can see the sword? You don't think it's just a baseball bat or something?" Nico said, trying to protect this face with his hands, dropping his sword on the floor.
"No! I'm not crazy, you psycho! And I'm asking the questions so you better start answering." Kensie stopped hitting her intruder with her ruler and got into a fighting stance, pointing the flexible ruler at his face.
Though he didn't know if he did it out of fear or just because he was done with being hit with the flimsy piece of plastic but Nico stood up and looked at his host. She was significantly shorter than him, which was saying something for him. He wondered how she managed to put the key on top of door. "My name is Nico Di Angelo and I, and I know this sounds crazy, but I am a demigod. I.."
"Yeah yeah whatever. What I'm asked is why you're in my room. I'm not asking for your life story mate, frankly I don't give two shits that you help us save the world because I am IN MY BATHROBE.." Nico expected this girl to be shocked or confused or to call him crazy, not for the reaction he got. It was now his turn to be paralysed. He stood there in shock, not really sure how to react.
"You.. um...what? But.. you're... a mortal? How?" Nico felt the cogs in his brain turning to turn, unable to.
"Listen Di Angelo. My mom's an Amazon and a Roman demigod and I'm in training. But again, you don't get to ask the question I do. Why are you in my room? Did you shadow travel here? Why did you travel here?" Nico felt his eyes bulging out of his head.
"A..amazon. Right. Umm.." Nico felt so stupid, stuttering over his words. He felt like he was 13 again, trying to seem cool in front of his crushes. Still, he blurted out all the information he could. He knew that Amazons could fight and he did not want to piss them off, "I meant to shadow travel to Mcdonalds but I'm lost, I didn't mean to come into your house or your room. I'm really sorry. I would've left early except I'm still getting the hang of my shadow travel and I have nome energy and I can't leave. I'm too short to reach the key to your room and you have no windows. I didn't mean to try and hit you with the sword, I was only holding it to try and reach the key." Nico spoke so fast that he forgot to breath.
Kensie dropping the stance and the ruler, "Oh. Well in that case, wait here." Kensie grabbed a pile of clothes off her bed and ran into the bathroom. A couple minutes later she emerged in a flannel and jeans, her still wet hair covered with a beanie. She grabbed Nico's arm, he tried not to flinch as she dragged him out the room, reaching the keys using a stool by the bed, down the stairs, grabbing random bits and bobs off counters like a purse and another key, and out the door.
'Where are you taking me? Listen, I didn't mean any harm, really. I really don't wan't to piss off the Amazons. I'm really sorry." Nico apologised, forgetting to breath again.
"Chill man. There's a Mcdonalds down the road. I'm just taking you to it so you can leave. Maybe then you can explain me the whole story in detail so that I don't go running to Hylla" Kensie laughed, raising an eyebrow. Seeing someone who had helped save the world on multiple occasions nervous was amusing, and honestly quite comforting. Maybe Greeks weren't that bad. And Mcdonalds was probably healthier than brownies.
