Pranks and Love

God Swap

I sneak into the Aphrodite cabin around the time they are starting to head to the archery range, not like most of them are even going to pick up a bow. I look around the room until my eyes land on the bed I'm looking for.

I quickly walk over to it and open the chest that's at the foot of the bed. Inside I find a few different hair products, face cleaners, and hair dye. I pull out a few of the hair products, unscrew the cap, and pour in a few different potions into it. I place them back how I found them and close the chest back up. I need to move to the next thing.

I look around to find the dresser that goes with the bed. I open the top drawer up to find underwear/socks. Not what I'm looking for, but not a bad surprise either. I open the next drawer, and find it filled with pants. I smile and pull the mall out, and replace them with new clothes.

I'm starting to head out when I think back to the underwear/socks drawer. I quickly make my way back to the dresser and open it one last time. I place a little vile on top of the cloths before running out of the cabin. I go about the rest of my day without disaster. Glancing to the Aphrodite kids once and a while, but nothing major though.

It's not till the next morning that my pranks goes off. I just finished eating, and on my way to the lake, when I hear my name being called. "Hey Solace!" I turn around and find Nico di Angelo walking over to me. My pranks have gone off. He doesn't seem mad, maybe a little miffed, but I doubt anyone could look really mad when you are covered in flower petals. As he gets closer, I notice his hair is pulled back into a small ponytail, and his normally dark hair is now electric purple. He's also got his normal, black crop top but instead of skinny jeans, his wearing one of the skirts I left him.

"Hey Nico. New style?" I ask playing innocent, once he gets close enough where I don't have to yell to him. He smiles, and takes another step closer to me, getting into my personal bubble, not like I'm complaining, and brushes some hair out of my face. I swallow, feeling my face heat up.

Nico takes a step back. "If you wanted to see my legs that badly, all you had to do was ask. Unless ..." Nico moves his hand to the end of the skirt and pulls it up a little. "there was something else you wanted to see." I know my face has a dark blush that is moving down to my neck. I swallow but can't seem to get my voice back no matter how many time I swallow. Nico drops the skirt and smiles. "Anyway, thanks for the new cloths and hair color, although, I could have gone without the flower petal bomb. See you around, Will." He then turns around, swaying his hips a tad, and walks away.

I stand there for who knows how long, before Jason, son of Iris, comes over. "You okay?" He asks a little worried.

Jason and I go way back. We started camp around the same time, back before all gods, major and minor, had to recognize their kids. So we got to know each other really well as Jason was stuck in the Hermes cabin until his mother claim him. At first, we could stand each other, but preferred to not have to deal with the other. It wasn't until one of the younger campers got seriously injured, and us working together to help, that we became good friends. With our close relationship, Jason learned my major crush on the son of Aphrodite.

At first, Jason tried to talk me out of it, so I wouldn't become heartbroken. I understand why he worries. Having a crush on Nico is never a good thing.

1) He is the biggest flirt and tease at camp.

2) He doesn't date anyone. He has turned everyone who asked him out down.

3) From what I've seen, he will not touch anyone or let anyone touch him.

So #3 doesn't sound like a huge problem, but it is. If I am going to date Nico, I want to be able to show affection and show everyone that we're together, and you can only do that by touching.
