Real love starts fake

Chapter 3

"Hey Pipes.." I said, something was wrong, I wanted to run off and just let the other team have the flag.

"Percy, honey, don't you want to go and take a nap on the beach? Go, take a nap, leave and rest. I got your back.." Pipers words were muddling my head, a nap sounded wonderful...I was kind of tired... but....

Piper.... I'm forgetting something about her..

Malcolm looks at me. He looks confused too, but I can practically see the gears and the Athenian brain of his working.

Pipers a daughter of Aphrodite. They sometimes have charmspeak. A powerful voice that convinces you to do things even when you don't wan to. Piper just happens  to be one of those  those children who have it...

" Piper, that's not very nice!" I complain and pout at her. She gave me a look then started talking even more.

"Who said I was nice?" she laughed a little. Then even more talking.

I didn't have any concentration left, but I did notice something in the shadows moving.

" Nico!!" I gasped loudly,  forgetting that Piper was even talking to Malcolm and I.

He jolted out of his concentration and looked over at me. Deep eyes calculating his next move.

It was dark but I swear I saw him blush a light pink, making his face so adorable.

I wasn't paying attention to Piper but when I turned around I saw Malcolm was fighting her and he had knocked her dagger out of her hand.

Nico, Nico, Nico... Didn't he know he can't get past me?

"Oh no you don't!" I lunged at him with Riptide uncapped and in sword form. He leaped backwards, avoiding the strike.

"Nice try corpse king, but you have to fight me to get to the flag." I said with a smirk.

" W-whatever.." He stuttered. Oh wow, was it cute, he blushed and charged at me. "Also what sort of a name is 'corpse king'?" I blocked his strike and parried. I've gotten to be a good swordsman since I was younger, all the monster training and slaying really helps a guy.

I caught his sword in a locked position, then kicked out at his feet, knocking him to the side. "It's a nickname Corpse King!" I smirked a little then he landed with a gasp, making me worry I hurt him. I quickly pinned him...

And got caught in those deep dark eyes..
