A PJATO Fanfiction

AN: Myeh. xP I don't really like this one as much as the others. Thuke and Thalico are kinda hard to write. Thuke, because it's so... complex. Thalico, because it's far-fetched. I support both, obviously, but I don't think Thalia would really date Nico. Anyways, hope you enjoy!
5. Love is giving someone the ability to destroy you, but trusting them not to.
Her heart had been broken before.
That boy, that stupid son of Hermes, had held her heart… then broken it.
Sure, she'd been in a tree for six, seven?, years, but when you love someone, you'll wait for them.
Psh, yeah right.
He betrayed them and poisoned her tree. He did terrible things to her, and she did what she had to do.
She joined the Hunters of Artemis.
Then he came along. That sweet, little son of Hades who wasn't exactly sweet and little anymore. That last time she'd seen him, oh gods, when was it? Before Percy went missing? No, too far back.
Percy's eighteenth birthday. He'd been fourteen at the time, and she, of course, was forever fifteen, one day from sixteen. He'd looked different, almost… cute?
But being the good little Hunter that she was, she ignored that thought and continued to talk with Annabeth.
But of course, she just had to keep thinking about him, and soon, Artemis found out. (That was not a good night.) And so, she was removed from the Hunt and banished from Artemis's side. Forever.
All because she'd fallen in love with Nico freaking di Angelo.
The more time she spent with him, the more she fell in love with him and vice-versa.
He could destroy her, just like Luke did, but she knew he wouldn't. She trusted him; she loved him.
Because that's what love is.
Trust.
