Nico's First Love (on hold)

Nico's First Love

Hi! I'm pretty new here and this is my first time posting a story here. All constructive criticism is welcome and pardon me for my limited range of vocabulary because you'll see the same few words repeating again and again. By the way this story is set 4 years after the Last Olympian (just if you're wondering, and it means like about 2 years after the Heroes of Olympus). Anyways, just enjoy! :)

Disclaimer: I do really wish to own the Percy Jackson series and all the characters in it, but sadly I don't. :(

Love… and Thalia

Prologue

Olympus

"I'm bored, I'm really, really bored," Aphrodite complained. "There haven't been any nice stories. No heartbreaking ones, not even one fuzzy story! How about…" she said as she eyed Artemis. Artemis gave her a don't-you-dare stare at her and said, "You do not think of matching my huntresses or me with any hero. You do not make them fall in love with any hero. If you ever dare to touch any of my huntresses, I will throw your eternal makeup kit into the depths of Tartarus. And curse you. And if possible, turn you into a jackalope."

"Ohh, I'm so scared!" Aphrodite said mockingly. Then she thought, and DING! An idea popped into her mind. Artemis's words gave her an idea.

"Thanks, Artemis, I've got an idea!"

"Huh? What idea?" Artemis called out behind her, bewildered

Chapter 1: The hunters's visit

Camp Half-blood

Thalia's POV

It has been a long while since she was back. More cabins had been built and there were defintely more campers than before. "When was the last time I came back?" She thought absent-mindedly.

"Thalia!" someone shouted from behind. She turned around, finding Annabeth standing behind her.

"Oh gods! I've missed you so much!" Thalia said as she gave Annabeth a hug.

"C'mon, I'll give you a tour of the new camp!" Annabeth said.

"Sure, gimmie a moment," Thalia said as she instructed the other hunters to move their baggage to the Artemis cabin. Then, she and Annabeth left, chatting excitedly on what they had done and were going to do.

"Um, Annabeth..." A girl with similar features as Annabeth tapped on her shoulder. "Something cropped up in the cabin, could you follow me back there…" Her words were cut of by Annabeth. "I got it," Annabeth grumbled, "but just give me a minute or two.'

They took a little walk before reaching a black cabin with a skull on top of the door and two torches burning with green fire.

"Nico, are you in there?" Annabeth knocked on the door repeatedly. "Hello?"

"If death boy is not coming out, I am going to bang—"

"Yes?" a sleepy Nico Di Angelo opened the door. Thalia stood there with her mouth agape. Thoughts raced through her mind. "Holy Zeus, he's so cute! And his skin had paled much! When was the last time I saw him? Wait, what's gotten into me? But…" Her thoughts were interrupted by Annabeth's shrill voice.

"Nico Di Angelo, why are you still sleeping at this hour? I need you to help give Thalia a tour so wash up and change."

"Who cares," he grumbled. This guy was moody and emo as always, Thalia thought.

"Annabeth! Could you come with me?" the same girl said with a tone of urgency in her voice.

"Gotta go!" Annabeth said as she and her cabin mate left.

Thalia watched Annabeth walk away, towards her cabin. Then she turned back to face Nico. He just leaned against the door frame, his eyes examining Thalia.

"Uh, sure. Me giving a tour to pine cone face. Great. You can come in for all you like but don't scream if you get creeped out," Nico said as he went back into his cabin. Thalia was still there, staring at Nico.

"Are you coming in or not?" Nico asked, "I don't want to be punished by your daddy for mistreating his dear daughter." Thalia told herself to snap out of it and followed Nico into the cabin.

Nico's POV

Once Thalia went in, he slammed the door shut and went to get his clothes. Thalia wandered around the cabin, looking at some stuff. He went into the bathroom, washed up and dressed. Actually, there wasn't much to wash up. He looked like this all day. Putting on his aviator jacket, he left the bathroom.

"Pine cone face, let's go!" Nico called out. No one answered. He looked around, only to find Thalia Grace sleeping on a black leather couch. She was curled up into a ball, and amazingly, Nico found himself staring at her. "Well… she looks pretty damn cute like that. And much peaceful too. Whoa, what am I doing? Thinking how cute she is? Oh never mind," Nico mumbled to himself as he grabbed his sword and went out, leaving sleeping Thalia in the cabin.

Annabeth's POV

Annabeth had just solved the problem and had decided to visit Percy when… She saw Nico swinging his sword and walking towards the arena.

"Nico?!" Annabeth jogged towards him and exclaimed. "Where's Thalia and why aren't you giving her a tour?"

"Someone fell asleep in my cabin and left me nothing to do," he replied.

"I don't care! You're going back now! And I mean it! Or suffer my wrath." Annabeth ordered shrilly. "So now, go back to your cabin and wake her up. I want to see you giving her a tour when I'm out of the Poseidon cabin. Get it?" and stomped off towards Percy's cabin.

Uh yeah, I know Annabeth's kinda OOC. Ignore me. Hey, just one more thing. You may have read this on fanfic.net. This, is the edited version, aka, draft 2. Yeah, this is the better one, anyway.
