Camp-Halfblood Holidays

Dec. 17th: Frozen cake -(Platonic!Hazel Levesque xGN!Reader)

Anonymous asked:

I don't know if this counts as 'holiday' but I feel like Hazels birthday (17th of december) gets forgotten a lot? So maybe some pre christmas birthday celebrations with Hazel and Nico?

"I'm so glad you agreed to celebrate your birthday here!"

"Oh well, it's always nice to change the routine a lil bit," Hazel smiled at you as she stepped out of the cab, Frank following close.

"Lemme help you with that," You said, picking up her suitcase and guiding her towards the camp's entrance.

"Oh, it's fine!"

"It's your birthday, Haze, let us spoil you," Frank patted her shoulder gently.

As soon as you crossed the camp's magical barrier, Nico approached. He was way livelier than days ago, a genuine smile on his face when he walked up to his little sister.

"Happy birthday," He said.

"Hi!" She exclaimed, immediately closing the distance between them and giving him a tight hug.

"Thank you for coming..."

"Oh, thank you for the party! I'm not used to big celebrations, but Y/N sounded so excited over the phone I couldn't refuse!"

Nico looked at you over Hazel's shoulder, thanking you silently. You vaguely waved a hand his way dismissively.

"You know I love planning stuff— parties especially."

"So what's the plan for today?" Frank asked, pulling the scarf off his neck.

The camp was still as sunny as ever, Mr D had agreed to let snow in, but only during the last week of December, so the weather around you still felt like a warm summer evening.

"Well, we let you guys unpack in your respective cabins, then we let you rest— you can hang out wherever you want, Annabeth and Piper were in charge of bringing the cake, but they haven't come back yet."

"What about Percy and the boys?"

"They're in the beach," Nico pointed out. "Enjoying the last warm days before our weather matches the one in the city."

"Jason and Leo are so whiny about it," You rolled your eyes. "But Leo is doing it out of loyalty, I know for a fact he loves it when it's cold cause we ask him for hugs all day."

"Let me take your stuff to our place..."

Nico grabbed the suitcase you were holding and started to walk towards his cabin, the three of you followed and continued your chat about school and camp duties.

You shared your Christmas plans with them, asking if they could stay a bit longer so they could celebrate Christmas (and Thalia's birthday) with the rest. Frank and Hazel both had left things in order before leaving Camp Jupiter, so they agreed.

A while later, you found yourself having a picnic on the beach, Frank was swimming with Percy, Leo was eating half of the snacks by himself, Jason was telling you all about his new school and the plans he had for Thalia's birthday, and at your right there was a grumpy Nico avoiding the sun, and a bright-eyed Will talking nonstop to a beaming Hazel.

"There you are!" A girl's voice spoke a few feet behind you.

You turned around to find a flushed Annabeth, taking off half of the clothes she was wearing now that she was inside the camp.

"Where's Piper?" Leo asked.

"She went to the big house, to put the food in a warm place," She grimaced. "It's so cold out there the cake might as well be frozen."

"I wouldn't mind eating it like that," Hazel joked. "It'd be an interesting experience, right?"

Annabeth laughed and approached to give her friend a hug. Piper found you soon after and before you knew it your closest friends were all in one place (with a few exceptions) and you relished in the moment.

The day advanced with little to do but to talk and enjoy each other's company. When night time came around, Hazel got a seat of honour in Chiron and Mr D's table, and the cake was placed in front of her.

The camp sung 'Happy birthday', and Nico discreetely stood next to you, nudging your arm softly.

"She's having a good day— thank you, Y/N."

"Oh, you know I love her as much as you do, and as much as I love you as well, Neeks!"

You playfully poked his ribs, Nico flushed pink a little, unused to hearing words of affection directed at him so casually. The song ended and Hazel blew her candles, the cake started to be distributed around the dining pavilion and Hazel made her way towards you, spreading her arms open and enveloping you in a warm hug.

"It was a beautiful birthday," She said against your shoulder. "I love you guys lots."

"You love us now, wait until Percy and Leo devour your cake," Nico raised a brow.

"Oh, that's the least of my problems— Christmas season means we'll have plenty of chances to eat."

Hazel still had her arms firmly wrapped around you, and yours settled around her shoulders comfortably. Nights were fresh at camp, the right temperature to hug people without getting sweaty.

"Next up on the list: Thalia's birthday," You grinned. "You guys ready to welcome the hunters?"

Nico groaned. "Not like I have a choice, do I?"

"At least we'll get to see Reyna and Thalia?" Hazel offered. "And you like Reyna, don't you?"

"And Thalia?"

"Yeah, they're cool," Nico gave you a half smile. "It'll be fun."
