I listened to Nightcore – Angel with a Shotgun whilst writing this… Welp. =w=) IS NOT SATISFIED WITH THIS AND WILL PROBABLY EDIT IT OUT LATER.

Thalia's POV

I slid up Annabeth's shirt, running my fingers lightly against her smooth and soft skin. Her stomach tensed slightly and reacted to my touch. She whimpered softly as my hand reached her bra. I stopped briefly to gather the courage and continue…

"Thalia…?" Annabeth's voice beckoned me to look up at her. Her eyes were staring at me longingly.

I cleared my throat, "Sorry… Just, ya know… Gathering courage." She giggled slightly, a light blush decorating her cheeks. I smiled back sheepishly then continued.

Pushing up her bra, I felt her soft breasts. They weren't nearly as small as I thought. Carefully tracing around them, I finally took one into my hand and started massaging it. The other was entertained by my mouth which had claimed it. I could feel Annabeth tensing and heard her moaning with pleasure. Her nipples were hard as I played with them and teased her.

After finally being satisfied with my work, I trailed my way up and nibbled at her neck. She started squirming again, but this time I held her down firmly—firmly but also gently. She made soft mewing sounds as I licked and trailed kisses until I reached her mouth, taking it in and kissing her deeply. Our tongues met once again and tangled around themselves, fighting for dominance which I eventually won.

My hands found their way around her body, one slipping to touch the inside of her thigh. She was wearing shorts that I slipped my hand into.

She shivered slightly at my touch, and we broke the kiss. She panted slightly and looked at me pleadingly, "Thalia, please…"

I grinned at her, "Please what?"

Annabeth's expression changed from lust to a combination between frustration and embarrassment. "Are you seriously gonna make me ask…?"

"Maaybe," I responded cheekily.

She looked off to the side, avoiding my eyes. "Please… touch me down there…" I could hear her embarrassment in her voice as she closed her eyes, a deep red spreading across her face.

I smirked happily, "Much obliged your highness." I slipped her shorts off and my hand slid under her underwear to felt the wetness that she had accumulated. Raising an eyebrow, I continued exploring.

Feeling the bundle of nerves, I started playing with that a bit. Pinching, rubbing, tapping, etc. I pleasured her the best I could, toying with her hard clit until she started panting, asking me to stop teasing her.

I slipped a finger into her awaiting womanhood, Annabeth let loose a surprised groan.

I lowered my head into the crook of her neck, kissing her softly to try and ease the pain. My finger hesitated at the barrier before Annabeth gave an assuring nod. "I want…" She paused, gathering her thoughts, "I want you to take it."

"Annabeth…" I could feel her lean her head into my neck and bite my shirt collar. I hesitated a bit longer before sliding off her underwear. I quickly pushed my finger forward, breaking the thin wall. Annabeth bit hard into my collar, trying her best not to scream out in pain. I could feel the blood trickling down my hand. I clenched my teeth and eyes shut and slowly started moving, trying to ease her pain the best I could. Admittedly, I was surprised she was a virgin.

After a few deliberately timed thrusts, she started moaning softly. The pain had apparently subsided enough for her to start enjoying the action.

Soon enough, she was groaning and moving her hips along with my hand. By now, she had managed to pull off my shirt and was massaging my own breasts with her hands. Occasionally she would clench them because I had hit a sensitive spot in her. I could feel the increasing dampness between my legs, but I ignored it and focused on pleasuring Annabeth. She was thoroughly enjoying herself by now, and I had added another finger.

She clenched around my fingers as they slid in and out, deeper and faster. I could feel her getting close as I used my thumb to play with her clit and my mouth and other hand to play with her breasts.

Sure enough, she started panting out my name, biting my neck and sucking hard. I groaned into her ear. She finally clenched around my fingers hard enough to signal her imminent climax. I sped up, hoping to pleasure her until she did. She moaned my name and climaxed after a decisive thrust by me.

Shuddering, she rode out her ecstasy until she went limp in my arms. I kissed her neck a few times playfully and then took my hand out.

The sight of her lovely self and her juices on my hand was enough for me to be satisfied with my work. Her scent traveled up to my nose, and my eyes traveled to my hand. It was covered in her and before I realized what I was doing, I had brought my hand to my mouth and started tasting it.

Annabeth watched me, a deep blush on her face. "Th-Thalia!"

I cocked my head slightly, tasting her. I smirked slightly, still straddling her. "Mmhmm~" I leaned down and kissed her cheek, "You taste very nice."

Her eyes were wide as I pulled back and moved myself to sit by her side.

She leaned her head on my shoulder, and I laid my head on her head. "That hurt like a bitch didn't it…?" I was worried she might have been in too much pain.

Annabeth scoffed softly, "Sure did, but the rest felt good enough to counteract it." She smiled, and I felt myself smiling with her. "But now that you mention it…" She moved and looked at me with a small pout, "You didn't let me do anything."

I smirked, "Too bad, better luck next time."

Her pout turned into a thoughtful expression as she looked at innocently, "So I can take that as a promise I get to take the lead next time?"

I stared at her dumbly, taken off guard by her innocent expression accompanied by such a rough question. She grinned mischievously at me, and I gave her a defeated expression. "Fine."

She gave a victorious laugh and then kissed my cheek happily. "Yes!"

"But we should probably put our clothes back on unless we want to catch a cold…" I looked at our measly amount of clothing that we donned at the moment.

"…True." We both slipped our clothes back on. She was still turned around when I wrapped my arms around her waist. She looked at me curiously, "Thalia?"

I rested my head on her shoulder and closed my eyes. "Just let me stay like this for a bit?"

She fell silent, and I opened my eyes to see her ears red. Her response was uttered softly, barely audible even from where I was. "Okay… But we can lie down on the blankets…"

I smiled and then fell back, dragging her down with me. She yelped and flailed her arms about before landing soundly on top of me. I grinned at her confused expression that she gave to me. "You said to lie down on the blankets."

"I didn't mean fall down on them!" She pouted at me again, and I just grinned at her.

I let her go so she could lie down properly on the blankets. After situating ourselves with some blankets to cover ourselves with and some pillows, we cuddled up next to each other. It was colder than it should have been because we were underground, so that just gave us another excuse to get closer together. Her face was buried in the crook of my neck, and I had my arms wrapped around her. One of her legs was between mine, and her thigh would occasionally graze my under area. When this happened, I would shudder a bit, and she would then proceed to look up at me with a cheeky expression. She was probably too tired to do much more than tease me every now and then, but that was enough to turn me on enough. Eventually we managed to fall asleep in each other's warmth, but not without a ton of teasing from her to me.

Annabeth's POV

I woke up with Thalia's arms still wrapped around me protectively like she used to when we were kids. I still hurt from last night because it was smarting, but I found myself ignoring it. Thalia's eyes were closed, and her guard was down. Instead of always looking fierce or cautious, her expression was relaxed and peaceful. I took in her scent and smiled faintly. She smelt nice and her short black hair was soft despite usually looking spiked and punk. Her earrings caught the light and flickered every now and then.

She started moving slightly, and I kissed her cheek. "Thaaalia, wake up~"

"Mmmhmm…" Her expression turned into a small pout as she opened her eyes sleepily, "Annabeth…?"

Meeting her sleepy expression with a grin, I greeted her. "Mornin'."

She smiled at me with a slanted sort of attempt at a grin. "Mornin'…" She leaned over and kissed my lips softly before falling back to sleep.

I frowned, "Thaliaa. Thaaaalia!" Pouting a bit, I made a quick assessment from what I heard above us.

There was movement from the other cabin members. Today was the day the War Games were supposed to start and I still hadn't briefed the other cabins about our strategy.

Thalia was warm and comfortable to cuddle against. She smelled nice and was still asleep.

We had sex last night.

Does that mean we're a couple? Yeah, I think it does.

I should really wake her up, and we can leave after the other cabin members leave for breakfast.

After I got the things sorted, I listened carefully until the cabin sounds quieted down, and the cabin door closing could be heard.

I waited a few more minutes to make sure and then stared at Thalia with a plotting grin. I had obviously already noticed where my leg was and planned to use its position to my advantage.

Slowly, I started moving it back and forth, rubbing against her. A soft moan escaped her lips before her eyes flew open, "AH—Annabeth!"

"That got you up fast enough," was all I responded to her with. Well, along with a cheeky grin.

Thalia sighed at me then shook her head, sitting up. "Fair enough… I'm guessing it's breakfast time?"

I nodded, "My cabin mate's left a few minutes ago." I stood up and stretched. The blankets weren't as comfortable as our beds, but it was better with Thalia. She stood up and then looked around. I looked at her with a curious expression, "What are ya lookin' for?"

"Erm… Which way is out again?" She blushed slightly, and I laughed.

"I got it," I went over and opened the trap door that was above us in the ceiling. The password lock was only to get in, not to get out. Sunlight flooded into the small cave and assaulted our lights which were adjusted to the dim cave light.

Shielding her eyes, Thalia looked up and then yawned. "Shall we be off then?"

I nodded in response, and she started to climb up the ladder carved into the wall. I followed after her, and she helped me up by pulling me up basically.

We walked out of the cabin after checking quickly to make sure no one was outside to watch us. It'd be hard to explain why exactly Thalia was in the Athena cabin so early in the morning…

When we reached the mess hall, we parted to our different tables after a quick and discreet kiss. I had a hard time explaining why exactly I wasn't in the cabin to my mates, but eventually they let the subject drop. They already knew I liked to hide myself in my little cave sometimes to just have some alone time after curfew.

I gave my mom an especially large offering of toast, bacon, eggs, etc. Mainly in hopes she wouldn't do anything about Thalia and me… Like start a war with Aphrodite, curse Thalia, disown me, etc. I finished my meal as quickly as my cabin mates would allow me and then ran out to find Thalia.

Sadly, I was intercepted by a few cabin counselors who were curious about our plan for the War Games. After explaining thoroughly what we were going to do, they went away with satisfied nods to inform their cabin members. I finally managed to spot Thalia walking towards the arena and start after her before noticing Percy heading towards her as well.

He called out to her and ran over, starting a conversation as they walked to the arena together.

I couldn't hear exactly what they were saying, but I figured it was something about sparring because Thalia's expression seemed challenging towards Percy who also happened to have the same expression. They started running towards the arena, probably racing. I made my way over a bit faster than I had initially started. Watching Percy and Thalia spar was interesting enough to make me start running to catch it. They had an ongoing war with Percy having 55 wins against Thalia's 55 wins. There were 89 draws so it was logical to consider this a tie breaker for a final 200th battle…

I managed to get there in time to see them getting ready to start the fight. Apparently some other people had noticed me running because after I had situated myself around them to watch, some other people came in. By the time Thalia and Percy were done warming up, there was a rather large crowd gathered around. Someone had brought along a bucket of water for Percy to use during battle…

Thalia pointed this out to Percy who turned around to see it, smirking at the guy who brought it. The guy gave him a thumbs up and settled in to watch the fight.

One of the Hermes kids was collecting bets on who would win. Most people were betting Thalia, but after the bucket was brought, it was about 50 – 50. Thalia shook her arms a bit and jumped up, warming up her muscles. Percy made a few practice swings of Riptide.

Eventually the crowd started getting restless, and I stepped in between them when they seemed ready.

Thalia grinned at Percy and threw a few taunts. "Perc', how do you feel about settling this once and for all?"

He responded with an equally challenging voice, "Barkface, I think we have a deal. 'Bout time we established Poseidon is better than Zeus."

"Oh? I beg to differ. Annabeth, care to start the battle?" She grinned at me and stood at the ready, spear and Aegis at the ready. As soon as she had activated her trusty shield, most of the people that could see it had backed up.

I smiled in response, "Alright. Ready, Percy? Thalia?" They nodded in response. Percy had Riptide at the ready, keeping close to the bucket of water. Thalia would probably try to keep him away from using it if possible… I took out a drachma and held it out, ready to flip. "Start when this hits the ground." I counted down from five… "5… 4… 3… 2… 1…!" I flipped the drachma up and three long seconds passed as it flew up and fell down with a loud ringing sound. Immediately, the sound of lightning ripping through the air, singed it, and flew towards Percy's bucket of water. It hit the bucket and the bucket exploded, spilling the water out and on the dirt ground. The dry dirt immediately started absorbing it, leaving Percy waterless. However, Percy used this time to close the distance between them and start attacking.

Thalia defended quickly and counterattacked quickly, shoving her shield into Percy's sword and pushing him back. He almost lost his balance, but made a nimble back handspring to right himself and put distance between them. The crowd was cheering them on. A few more blows were exchanged until it was plainly obvious who was going to win. Percy was getting tired from always attacking, and Thalia was still full of energy because she defended mostly. Finally, Percy made a mistake of trying to slash at Thalia's legs. She promptly maneuvered her spear under Riptide and tore it out of his hands, sending it skidding across the floor to the other end of the arena. She pushed Percy down with her shield and held her spear point at his neck.

Percy's eyes were wide and finally he held his hands up in a surrendering motion. "You win…"

She smirked and got up, holding out a hand to help him up. He took it and stood up, patting the dirt off. "Good effort, Perc'. Maybe we can try again around our 300th match." She looked at him with a smug expression.

"Aw, shut up." He laughed and then took Riptide back. Some spectator had brought it over for him.

I laughed at the two, "So it's like, what, Thalia – 56, Percy – 55, and 81 draws?"

Percy groaned, "Aw, Annabeth, you don't have to remember how many times I've lost." I chuckled.

Thalia hooked her arm around me and grinned, "Too bad Perc', looks like I win the battle scores~" She handed him a bottle of water which he then poured over his head. Instantly, he looked much more energized.

"Shh, I'll get ya next time. I'm only one down." He grinned then waved at us, "I'll see you two around, got some other things to do with Grover before the Games." He left and the crowd soon filed out of the arena.

We waved and soon it was just us two in the arena. I turned and kissed Thalia's cheek, "Good job out there."

She blushed slightly, "I was sort of showing off with the lightning…" She scratched her cheek then grinned, "Thanks though."

"Wanna go hang out next to the lake until the War Games?" I smiled at her, and we walked out holding hands contently.

"Yeah, that should work." She calmed herself down and returned to her cool demeanor she put on around strangers. I giggled slightly at her bravado, and we made our way to the lake to spend the next few hours together in content happiness.
