Hey its me again. Well as you all might have noticed by now, I dont post very regulary. But I've been working on this for a while and finally finished it so I hope you enjoy!

Upside down

"Its official, I absolutely hate traps set by the Hephaestus cabin" Katie Gardner stated as she dangled upside down tied up in a net pressed against Travis Stoll. It was extremely awkward, as they felt the blood rushing to their heads. Katie and Travis had been partnered up as scouts for the capture the flag much to Katie's displeasure, and now their bodies were squished together closer than they'd ever be by choice after activating a trap laid by the Hephaestus cabin.

"Oh come on Katie it's not that bad," Travis said grinning. "You know you've always wanted to be this close to me" he said arrogantly, and Katie felt her face burn.

"If I could move my arms I would slap you." She threatened him as she squirmed trying to somehow put some distance between them but to no avail. Travis just laughed.

"Tut tut Katie, I thought you were above empty threats" He said still grinning at her coyly and slowly leaning closer to her. Katie pulled her neck back with all her might rearing away from him, her heart hammering and hoping he couldn't feel it.

"So," she said clearing her throat, trying to force down her blush. "Best case scenario someone from our team finds us and gets us down, and worst case scenario the other team finds us and takes us prisoners." She thought aloud.

"Yup." He agreed though he continued to lean towards her. "You know your eyes are really pretty." He told her and she couldn't help but think that it would be so much more romantic if they weren't upside down. You know, not that she wanted it to be romantic.

"Oh, er, thank you." She said awkwardly as he gazed at her face and quickly adverted her eyes. Travis finally leaned so close that their faces were only inches away.

"Why are you blushing Katie?" He asked quietly, she could feel his breath on her lips and maybe just a little bit, wondered how bad it would be it the space between their mouths disappeared. Then he finally pulled back, a triumphant smirk planted firmly on his face. Katie couldn't believe how arrogant he was, though she was thoroughly embarrassed. "See, you do like being close to me."

"Please Travis, we're upside down if you haven't noticed, the blood is rushing to both our heads, you are just as red as I am." Katie said defiantly, trying to salvage her dignity.

"Oh no, I'm sure I'm not nearly as red as you are Katie. Especially when I get closer to you." He said leaning closer to her again in a teasing manner.

"Would you stop!" Katie said and she frantically started squirming, kicking out with her feet making the net swing, sending a ripple down that eventually jerked Travis forward, he let out a surprised "whoa!" and then his face, including his lips smashed onto Katie's, who let out a startled squeal.

"Oo hoo ho, what do we have here?" A new voice asked coming from the trees. Katie jerked her head back apart from Travis with a sound like a suction cup that was completely unintentional, and left Travis with a stunned look on his face. Leo slowly emerged from the brush with a couple of his siblings who both had smirks on their faces. "Looks like a new couple got caught in our little trap. They had to be pretty close together to both get picked up in the net." He looked at his companions. "What do you guys think? They were so busy making goo-goo eyes at each other they didn't notice the net?" Leo let out a laugh and his brother and sister snickered. "Alright get 'em down." He said and the girl went over to the tree the net was tied to and undid the knot. Katie let out a screech and Travis a muffled "oomph" as they fell. Katie had ended up in the awkward position of having one leg one either side of Travis straddling him and lying on his chest. She quickly sat up then scrambled to her feet.

"Its not- were not- It was an accident!" Katie exclaimed. Travis groggily pushed himself onto his elbows still looking completely bewildered.

"Right," Leo said smirking. "You two take these prisoners back to base, I'm going on ahead." He said then disappeared into trees, tool belt jiggling. Leo's brother walked over and put his sword to Katie's back and his sister walked over and pulled Travis to his feet by the shirt.

"Come on lover boy, remember how to walk?" She asked jokingly as Travis stumbled forward at sword point, and they marched away through the trees.

After a few minutes of awkward walking Katie broke the silence. "Travis this is all your fault." Travis snapped his head up and looked at her for the first time since they started walking.

"What?" he responded appalled.

"If you hadn't triggered that stupid trap, none of this would have happened!" She said sounding terribly upset. Had kissing me really been that terrible? Travis wondered to himself.

"I triggered the trap? No I'm pretty sure that was you Katie. Remember how you were stamping ahead little miss nature?" He said snapping back at her.

"Would you two be quiet?" the girl asked sounding irritated.

"Sounds like their having a lovers quarrel." The boy said in a deep rumbling voice, slightly mockingly.

"We aren't 'lovers'!" Katie protested.

"Just shut up would you?" The girl said again. No more words were spoken until Travis and Katie were in the jail and the boy and girl left them to the guards on duty. Travis looked at Katie who was gazing at the ground.

"Was kissing me really that terrible?" He asked her quietly. Katie looked up and her green eyes met his hazel ones.

"I…" she trailed off, not knowing how to answer.

"Because kissing you, for me that was…amazing." He told her and he gently reached out a hand to stroke her cheek. And then Katie kissed him again, wrapping her arms around his neck and he put his arms around her waist pulling her closer and even though they were prisoners for capture the flag, they were right side up, not in a net, and the kiss was no accident.
