Bianca, Nico and Leo's first official date
Bianca di Angelo thought long and hard about choosing rebirth. She wanted to fix the mistakes she made in her past life. It was a slim chance—almost impossible—but, what if she found herself face-to-face with her brother again? She wouldn't know it was his, obviously, but she had a firm belief that if you truly love something you'd die for it, the memories would live in your heart.
So she went through with it. In her new life, she was Raven Lavigne. Raven showed up to Camp Half-Blood after the Giant War, scrapped and bruised. Not too badly—after all, in a fit of fear, she screamed bloody murder and skeletons burst through the ground, grabbing the horrifying creature down into the depths of the earth. Poor Raven had no idea what she was doing or going on. She didn't plan on being attacked by a… whatever that that thing with the horns was. She thanked her lucky stars she changed courses and went into the woods when she did. And she most certainly didn't expect to be told by a middle-aged centaur that she was half-Greek god. Funny how life throws curve balls at you like that.
When she got to her cabin—cabin 13, the one they all knew she belonged in—she saw a teenager with dark hair and dark brown eyes, olive colored skin, dressed in black.
"Hi. I'm Raven," she said, walking up to the boy. "I'm supposed to stay here they said?"
Without looking up, the boy scoffed. "You got it wrong, I think. No one but me stays in the Hades cabin."
She laughed, nervous. Not because the boy was intimidating—in fact, Raven thought he was kinda cute in a little boy acting older than her really was way—she was nervous about asking the kind people around camp to help her find where to go again. She was too shy. "Um… The guy, Percy Jackson, said this is the right place."
That got the boy's attention. He jerked his head in, first angry, then surprised. "Um… Sorry about that. Yeah, you do belong here. My mistake- let me help you."
He helped her inside and kept her company. There was something that felt almost like déjà vu, yet completely unfamiliar.
As the days rolled by, the brother and sister reunited once more grew closer and closer. That's why it was so shocking for Nico when he heard that Raven had a date and didn't tell him about it. He confronted her about it over dinner.
"Why didn't you tell me you had a date?" He asked, sounding such more upset than he planned.
She shrugged and blushed. "Well, I was a little embarrassed. I wasn't sure how you'd take the news. I doubt you'll… approve, per say."
Nico raised his eyebrow. "Oh? Who is he?"
Raven twisted a strand out hair loose from her braid. "Leo Valdez," She squeaked in a tone sounding more like a question than an answer.
Nico's temper flared up a little, but not much. he knew Leo and they were friends, but Leo knew about who Raven really was and he still wanted to go out with her? Nico wasn't sure if he was ready to share his new sister around with the world just yet. Gods, he thought. I make her sound like some trophy. I'm a sick excuse for a brother… With slight difficulty he said, "Okay. Cool, he's a nice guy."
He must have sounded a lot more happy than he thought, because the next thing he knew, he was wrapped into Raven's memorable tight-grip hugs.
Leo's idea of a good first date was simple: eat sandwiches on the beach, talk about whatever came to mind, walk around the camp, and end it with holding her hand, or, if he was lucky enough, a hug. He counted his odds with Raven. One scary dad, plus one scary brother, plus one very scary Percy, plus everyone else at camp who would hate his guts if he managed to hurt her feelings…He calculated a few formulas in his head and there was no denying that this had to be the perfect first date. not that he was worried too much about the others maiming him. He was mostly worried about what Raven would say if things went wrong, or what if he accidently broke the rule that they were not to speak of the rebirth thing at all? Oh gods, there were a million and one ways to ruin things tonight.
Raven was excited for her date. Leo wouldn't tell her what they'd be doing, so she settled for a low-key dress and sandals, her hair blushed and flowing, no makeup. Raven had gotten used to Nico's questioning, worried looks, so she simply said, "It's just a date." Which, in her mind it was.
Nico tried his hardest to ignore the fact that his sister was leaving him again. He was the ghost king—he could handle this. He kept telling himself that all night long, yet he couldn't help but think what if…? Unable to handle the uncertainty, he left Cabin 13 and watched them from afar.
He watched Leo and the princess of death walk and laugh, acting like little kids. It was sweet and cute in a way. They were an unlikely pair.
Leo knew Nico was following them on their date. He wasn't sure how to take it at first, but then he understood that if his mother had been reborn, he would want to make sure she was safe too. That's why he talked a little louder and walked a little slower. He knew it was lame, but at the same time he didn't want to hurt Nico. This way, after all, his sister.
As he walked her back to her cabin, Leo told Raven good night.
"Yeah, I had fun. We should do it again sometime," she smiled.
Inside her cabin, she saw the slightest twist in the shadow of the room. Grinning, she went over to her little brother's bed and kissed his "sleeping" forehead.
"Thank you," she whispered, knowing he would hear her, even if he didn't know why.
Even though Nico invaded her privacy, he did it because he loved her, a trait she knew very little about in her past experiences. That was sweet of him.
No to say I won't kick his butt next time he spies me when a guy is around, she thought, laughing.
Hm... Not my best one-shot... If you don't like it, I'm sorry! I'll work on a few others in the meantime! :)
