I've got another chapter (finally) sorry it took me so long, my computer is having issues. So anyways... DISCLAIMER TIME! I don't own Nico (although I wish I did) or anything else related to the series, I do own Diana and Alex though

"NICO!" a girls voice called. Nico jumped around to see Diana flying down the hill at a million miles an hour. When she got close enough she jumped towards Nico. He expected this and had his arms streached out waiting. When he caught her he spun her around while she giggled.

"I missed you" she mumbled into his shirt, still wrapped up in the hug.

"Me too" he said sighing. It had been almost a full year since they had seen each other. It was no secret that Diana had a crush on Nico and Nico had one on Diana. Everyone at camp new it, except them. To them they would be best friends, and both didn't think they would ever be anything more. However this summer Nico planned to change that. For a while they just stood there, enjoying the feeling of holding one another. Until of course that new kid Alex ruined it. He was a son of Zeus, so unfortunatly he felt like he was the king of the camp and should have anything he wanted.

"Diana" he said smiling that cocky smile of his "And Nico" he said with clear distaste in his voice. "Do you mind if I talk to Diana alone for a second?" he asked, although Nico knew even if he said no, Alex would still talk to Diana.

"Sure" Nico said with slight jelousy in his voice. He let go of Diana and watched them walk out of earshot. At first he smiled that cocky smile and appeared to ask her a question. Her reply was simple and emotionless. Alex then moved closer and put his hand on her shoulder. She shrugged it off and had more force behind her answer this time.

"WHY?" he heard Alex yell, sounding beyond pissed now.

"BECAUSE... BECAUSE" Diana stuttered, and looked over at Nico, then her eyes lit up like she had a plan and ran over. "Because I'm dating Nico." If he had been drinking something he would have just done a spit take. He watched as she ran up to him and put her arms around his waist. She then leaned in right next to his ear and whispered "Play along or I will kill you" he heard what she said, but he was more focused on the fact that everytime she spoke her lips gently brushed his ear.

"Uh yeah" Nico managed to say with out turning to red. Alex looked like he was ready to explode. His eyes were full of electricty. He looked like he was going to start swearing but instead just turned and stomped away, sending a lightning bolt into a tree that redused it to ashes. Diana sighed and leaned her head on Nico shoulder.

"Thanks for that" she said "Thats the third time hes asked me out, he doesn't seem to get the message."

"Hes an ass" Nico replyed staring coldy at the tree Alex had killed. He felt Diana let out a small laugh. "Umm" Nico said after relizing her arms were still around his waist and her head still on his shoulder. "Do you wanna let go anytime soon?"

"Oh" she said jumping back quickly "Sorry." Her face was now a light pink, Nico thought it was cute and his face was probally the same color.

"Its cool" said Nico rubbing the back of his neck, trying his face to change back to its normal color. Even though her own face was red, Diana couldn't help but smirk at Nico and decide to embarass him more than he already was.

"Well thanks again" she said moving closer. Nico's face was almost instantly back to bright red. She placed her hands around his neck. "It really means a lot to me" she continued moving even closer. Nico's mind was in somewhat of a panic, but not a bad panic, more like a, oh my gods she's really close to me and if I just leaned in a little our lips wold be touching panic. Diana, seeing this smirked and leaned in even closer, so when she spoke her lips brushed agenst his. "I best be going, I have archery practice soon," and with that she stepped back, smiling at how red Nico's face was.

"Wait!" Nico called as she started walking away.

"Yes?" she asked

"You owe me" he said smiling, his face starting to return to normal "Big time"

"I know" she said then ran towards the cabins.

Nico sat on the edge of the dock, think about what just happened and how close he was. After awhile of sitting in peacful silence, his ADHD kicked in and he decided he couldn't sit still any longer. As he stood up the air filled with the sent of decaying flesh. It's not a plesant smell, but being the son of Hades, he was used to it. He senced a presence behind him, he knew who it was, but that didn't want to make him turn around any quicker.

"Nico" a cold voice replyed, lucky it didn't sound mad so Nico decided to take a chance and turn around.

"Dad" Nico said in the same tone of voice Hades had used, "What brings you here?"

"Just checking up on my only child, is that so wrong" he replyed sounding hurt, although his tone implied sarcasm.

"No really dad, if your gonna punsh me just get it over with" Nico said glumly looking at the ground, expecting to have a skeleton pop out of the ground or an endless abyss open up and swallow him. But Hades just sighed. Sit down Nico we need to made Nico even more afriad then he already was, he would much rather his father kill him now then had him talk ot him first. Reluctently Nico sat back down on the edge of the dock, Hades sat across from him. They just sat there for a few minutes daring the other to speak first.

"So.." Nico said looking up at his dad "What did you want to talk about?" Hades took a deep breath.

"So Nico, are the girls all over you at camp?"

Alright people, time for you to do your part... Read, Review, Rinse and Repeat :)
