Weeeellllllll, I wrote this in the middle of the night, and finished it at 3 in the morning, so sorry if its not my best, I was actually writing for another idea when this one came to me, so I scraped that one and wrote this instead. As always, I hope you enjoy.


Showers

Katie Gardner stepped out of the shower, a towel wrapped around her firmly, and her wet hair clinging to her face. She walked into the rest of the bathroom like area, walking over to the bench where she had placed her clothes and felt her heart stop. All that was there were her underwear and bra. She quickly looked under the bench around the rest of the small bathroom but to no avail, her clothes simply weren't there. She could not, and would not, walk back to her cabin in just her under garments, even if she wore the towel as well it would still be horribly embarrassing. Thinking rapidly she figured the best course of action would be to wave down one of her passing siblings and ask them to bring her some clothes. That in its self would be mortifying, especially if someone over heard her, but it was still better then walking all the way back to her cabin without clothes.

She quickly put on what she had and re-wrapped the towel around her, making it as tight and secure as she could. As she reached for the door she noticed it wasn't locked, she was sure she had locked it once she had come in. Then she started to realize something, she had been wearing clothes before she took the shower, and they had not simply got up and walked away (although stranger things have happened, there were always more surprises with life as a demigod). Someone had taken them from the bathroom while she was showering, what a horrible, cruel and juvenile prank, she thought. Although she had a terrible suspicion she knew exactly who had done this to her.

Cautiously she poked her head through the door that she had opened slightly and was startled to see someone standing just outside.

"Well, hello Katie," Travis Stol greeted her, smirking slightly as he leaned rather casually against the wall.

"Stol," She stuttered in surprise and narrowed her eyes at him; even though she was still hiding behind the door, her face was quickly turning the unflattering color of a ripe tomato. "What are you doing here?"

"Oh just waiting to shower." He said far too innocently, "What's wrong? Missing something?" He asked snickering a little. After that Katie had no doubt, she needed no further evidence, proof or confession. He had stolen her clothes, and as she thought about him coming into the bathroom while she was showering she thought she might die of embarrassment, but only after she murdered him. After discreetly glancing past him to make sure no one else was around, she grabbed a fistful of his shirt as quickly as she could and yanked him into the bathroom. He stumbled clumsily in, since she had managed to catch him by surprise. She locked the door and stood in front of it as Travis blinked; only slowly understanding what she had just done. Now the Stol brothers had played quite a few jokes on Katie and her cabin, but nothing quite so centered on Katie as well as personal and sexual.

"Stol, give me back my clothes this instant." She demanded trying to keep her voice firm and not squeaky in embarrassment, it was not easily achieved when you were wearing a towel.

"Katie, as delighted as I am to be locked in a bathroom with you, I don't really have any idea what you're talking about." He answered convincingly as he got his wits about him. Was he telling the truth? Had she really dragged him into the bathroom with her for no reason? No, she was sure, there was no one else who would have done this to her, he had to be lying.

"Drop the act, I know what you did, now give me back my clothes!" she ordered him.

"Alright so you caught me," He admitted smirking slightly, "But you really aren't in any position to be making demands." She bit her lip angrily, he was right, she couldn't really force him to give her clothes back her and she had no way to bride him either; she was completely at his mercy. Frankly it hadn't been a very well thought out plan; she just couldn't stand the thought of someone over hearing Travis tease her about being trapped inside the showers.

"Well I'm demanding that you give me back my clothes, you pig!" She yelled at him.

"I'm a pig am I?" He said sounding a bit angry "You know, that towel looks like it might just fall off any minute now…" He said threateningly, then reached out and snatched the towel off of her before she could even try to resist. She gasped, completely mortified as she stood in just her bra and underwear.

"Travis!" She screeched as she lunged for the towel, while he stepped back and held the towel above her head and just far enough away to be out of reach. She lunged for it again and he moved back again. "You. Horrible. Cruel. Juvenile. Jerk!" She shouted at him and with each word reached for her towel again and each time he took a step back. Though after a while he had walked himself under the shower head without realizing and Katie had an idea. She reached for the towel again but as she missed she brought her hand down and twisted the knob for the water, making sure it was on its coldest setting.

Travis froze very theatrically as water poured down on him, getting him thoroughly soaked, clothes and all. He dropped the now dripping towel somewhat defeated and reached down and turned off the water, then reached up and wiped his soaping bangs out of his eyes.

"Happy now?" He asked her.

"No," She told him, although she did feel the tiniest bit better. "Look Travis, I don't know what you want from me," she started; crossing her arms over her chest self consciously. "I don't know what you want me to do or what you expect. Do you want me to run back to my cabin practically naked? Cause right now that's pretty much the only option I have and unless you have anything else to say, I guess I'll be on my way." she told him bitterly.

"Come now Katie, I'm not completely unreasonable. I'm willing to let you borrow my shirt to wear back to your cabin."

"Yeah but what's the catch?" She sneered.

"No catch, just a price."

"And what is the price may I ask?"

"A kiss," he answered simply. Katie looked at him, shocked as he leaned over and tapped his cheek. She bit her lip, it was worth it compared to the embarrassment of running through camp in the state she was now. Just a quick peck on the cheek and be done with it, easy enough she supposed. She looked at him apprehensively, then before she could tell herself not to; she leaned forward and puckered her lips. But at the last possible moment he turned his head and caught her chin with his hand and her lips fell onto his mouth instead of his cheek.

Then something funny happened as she found herself kissing him and he was pulling her close to him, while their lips moved against each others. What was she doing? Katie kept asking herself, she was only wearing her underwear, this was terribly scandalous. His lips had been wet from the water, she noticed as he pulled her even closer against himself, his hands on her waist. This was insanity! Travis had been absolutely terrible to her, she could not kiss him, she argued with herself, but it felt too wonderful, so she couldn't bring herself to stop. Eventually they stopped to breath and Travis rested his forehead against hers, grinning. It wasn't gloating or smug though, simply happy. Katie looked at where her hands were on his chest and stood there completely stunned.

"Well, a deal's a deal," He said casually, sounding rather chipper, then reached back and pulled off his shirt handing it too her. Great now she had to deal with him being shirtless.

"It's wet" she said slightly dazed as she pulled it over her head.

"And whose fault would that be?" He responded teasing her slightly, while he slung his arm over her shoulders as if he had done it a thousand times before. While Katie still couldn't wrap her mind around the situation, Travis opened the door and lead them out, walking down to the cabins. They got quite a few strange looks and Travis's shirt still wasn't long enough to make Katie feel very comfortable but it was a huge improvement compared to the campers seeing her underwear. Although Travis had seen her underwear anyway. When they finally got to the front of the Demeter cabin Travis slid his arm off her shoulders and grabbed her hand gently instead.

"You know, I've been trying to come up with a plan to get you to kiss me for a while now." He told her.

"What?" She asked, confused.

"I even contemplated, pretending to drown so you'd give me mouth to mouth, but I figured that wouldn't work, and this way did have some perks" He said his eyes trailing down her body slightly. "Even though it required me to be a horrible, cruel, juvenile, jerk" He told her joking slightly. "So just think about the kiss, and think about me, and maybe we could be something?" He sure had a heck of a way of asking a girl out, Katie though and hoped that he had not done this to other girls as well. "See you," He said smiling slightly then headed off towards cabin 11. After getting only a couple of feet away though he turned around. "Oh and Katie?" He said with his signature smirk planted on his face again, "Don't worry, I didn't see anything through the shower curtain."


So that's that, and I don't really own the characters (Darn), So until my next update, Thanks For Reading!
