Happily Forever

Nico sped over to where Jade was making a tantrum. She was screaming, shouting, crying and running everywhere looking for him. Many people were watching; some of them were trying to calm her down, Most of them were afraid to get closer to her.

Nico felt his mouth open slightly. He cautiously walked towards Jade. Jade saw Nico and stopped moving, she waited until he came closer.

Jade had a fierce look n her face, she reached out and started punching every inch of his body- 'you… dare… leave… me… again… like… that… and… I'll… skin… you… alive…' At every single word she gave a fresh punch.

And then he stopped abruptly and kissed him, in front of every single person in Camp Half Blood. The audience clapped and cheered. Some guys even wolf-whistled.

Finally they broke apart. 'Next time, shall we go to a more private place?' gasped Nico out of breath.

They strolled over the pathway and went to a lonely place near the big-house.

'Why did you run away?' Jade asked.

'I was obviously embarrassed and scared of your reaction,' Nico replied. 'And you should know that for a long time, I've had a really big crush on Percy.'

'Thanks for your confession, but I knew that since the first day I met you,' Jade said.

"Of course, bloody daughters of Aphrodite," Nico thought.

'Why should you be scared of a reaction of a little girl? You are a kid of underworld! You should be stronger than that!' Jade said.

'I've always had a soft spot in close relationships.' Nico said.

'From today onward… ' She stared at her ring for a while, 'this "N" stands for Nico di Angelo.

Nico leaned over and kissed her. He had one of his hands on Jade's shoulder. He moved it downwards, it stopped near her chest. He could feel…

30 minutes later

It was dinner time. He was eating all by himself on his table, when he was soon joined by Percy, Annabeth and Piper.

'Nice drama out there,' Percy said. 'Improvement seen from you little brother, never thought you'll get out of that ten-year-old annoying personality.'

'Anyway who was that pretty girl?' asked Annabeth.

'Oh, that's Jade, one of my sisters, she met Nico for only two days and they are already going out,' Piper said.

Nico went red and kept eating his grapes. He kept his eyes on his plate that he didn't notice Jade until she slipped into the chair next to him.

'So, how's it going for you two?' asked Annabeth.

'We are officially a couple now!'Jade said. 'I know, we have known each other for only two days, but I suppose its okay for him.' She smiled at Nico.

'You two are so cute together,' Piper said.

Annabeth gave her a high-five. Girls were so hard to understand. Percy just looked at each other in turn like he was trying to absorb in their thoughts, dumbfounded.

The Apollo kids were having a sing-along while the Demeter kids watched and applauded. This new life was something Nico thought he would never experience. He was happy for the first time in Camp Half Blood, where he always felt isolated. Now he had a bunch of really cool friends, plus an "official" girlfriend.

'I'm getting a little bored of sleeping all by myself in the cabin,' said Percy to Annabeth. 'You can come if you want to, we can even share a bed.'

He winked at Nico and Piper. Piper winked back. Annabeth looked flabbergasted but said yes. Nico thought of better not to ask what they were going to do when they were in the same bed.

'I've got good news,' Piper said. 'Jason said he will be coming here tomorrow with Reyna to start the work of the new shines of minor Gods and Goddesses.'

'Oh! Cool, the lightning-guy is coming back to see the water-boy,' said Percy dreamily. Everybody laughed except for Jade who looked confused.

'Come on, I'm so sleepy though its still eight o'clock,' Percy said and dragged Annabeth along with him, leaving their half eaten food behind.

'They seem so enthusiastic,' Piper said grinning.

Nico eyed Jade from the corner of his eye and saw Jade was looking at him and nodding her head. He didn't know what that meant, but Piper had a very serious look on her face.

'Okay! I'm done, see you t the cabin, hopefully, but I don't think Chiron will like the idea of two people on the same night sleeping somewhere else than their own cabin,' Piper said to Jade and winked.

The winking ruined the whole serious mood. Piper glanced at Nico skeptically and waved, the she stalked off into the cabins.

At the moment Jade smelled like strawberries and marshmallows. Nico was pretty sure she smelled like roses and jasmine until a few minutes ago. Maybe it was some kind of Aphrodite magic, Nico thought. He resisted the urge to ask her what her perfume brand was, instead, he stared at her fingernails which were long and pretty.

'Have you finished eating?' she asked.

Nico said yes and tried to cover up his half-eaten fruits, mainly the pomegranate which he always avoided eating. It gave him flashbacks of the two giants and the glass jar he was captured in.

They stood up and walked towards an isolated part in the camp where no one comes except the people who have lost their way. Nico found this place when he was strolling alone, absorbed in his thoughts. It was actually an accident which brought him here. There were many kinds of birds during the day time, but not a single soul at night.

Suddenly, a pink and white tent appeared out of nowhere in front of them. It was decorated with roses and snowballs. This is the middle of the summer and the snowballs didn't seem to melt. It didn't make any sense.

'Must be some of mom's magic,' said Jade.

They went inside the tent. It was bigger than it appeared from outside. Even a bed was inside the tent. The fact that there is a large single bed other than two small beds bothered Nico. The interior decorating was similar to the outside.

Jade was already sitting comfortably in a corner of the bed. Nico sat down on the other side of the bed and stripped off his T-shirt…

Next Morning

Nico woke up next morning with a start. He had a nightmare. Well, it's common for Demigods.

The last night's memories were still groggy and unclear, like he had been drunk. He had drifted to sleep during the night. However, he was completely naked, so was Jade. Memories of last night flooded back to his brain, one by one. He didn't want to think about it again though it felt good.

Jade is muttering in her sleep. Nico couldn't really understand what she was saying, but he caught on some words and sentences like "his abs", "his eyes", "hot", "incredibly", "pineapple" and "that's so long".

Nico gently shook Jade by her shoulder. She slowly got up and yawned. When her eyes focused on Nico, she said "oh" and looked down at her are body.

'We should get dressed up,' Nico said not meeting her eyes. He kept his eyes on her navel because he was sure, he would blush if he sees somewhere else.

There was a grin on jade's face when they got dressed. The tent disappeared when they got out of the tent.

They went towards the big-house and saw a blonde-guy with a black-haired girl talking to Chiron. Jason and Reyna have arrived.

'Hey, Nico!' Jason said seeing Nico walking towards him.

Jason almost choked him trying to give a hug.

'Hi Reyna, hi Jason, what's up?' Nico asked.

'Nothing much,' Jason said. 'Aren't you going to introduce your charming friend to us?'

'Umm… this is my… ' Nico paused and said 'this is Jade Cruiz, daughter of Aphrodite.'

'Any sister of my girlfriend is a friend of mine,' said Jason and shook hands with Jade.

Reyna exchanged a look with Nico.

'Wonder where Pipes is… ' Jason said to himself and strolled across the path to the cabins. When Jason saw Piper, he ran and kissed her.

Annabeth and Percy came along and hugged Reyna and Jason each.

'How is coach Hedge and Mellie?' asked Reyna.

'They are in Olympus with the baby satyr, doing something for the Olympians, I suppose,' Annabeth said.

One hour later

Jason and piper have gone off somewhere leaving Nico alone, in cabin thirteen, all by himself. Jade was somewhere else too. Loneliness never bothered him this much before. He went outside and walked around absent minded until he bumped into Jason.

'Watch where you're going, Nico,' he said teasingly. 'I heard that your love life is getting better at the moment now.'

'What?' said Nico half-consciously.

'Gods!' said Jason. 'Piper, told, me, that, you, are, going, out, with, Jade,' he paused at every word.

'Yeah, I mean, no, wait,' Nico was confused. He felt like killing Piper for this. 'It doesn't make any sense, but the answer is yes.'

Jason slapped his shoulder and grinned. There was something wild in his face, his glasses askew. And then he started laughing so hard, that he actually doubled over and eventually slid into the ground where he rolled over the grass, clutching his sides.

Nico just waited until he subsided.

He got up and said, 'congratulations, little cousin, may you have a fabulous, happy life in future,' a bit sarcastically and started laughing again.

As Jason mentioned, Nico and Jade did have a happy life except for some monsters that interfered.

*The End*

I know this story is short, but better stories will be coming up in the future.
