Demigods

Really?

Stella was going to take care of Izzy at the infirmary, but Shawn volunteered to do it for her. She needed to get things off of her mind, so she went to Nick's hut. He was reading a book, so she knocked on his door. 

"Yeah?" Nick yelled out, not realizing it was Stella.

"Hey. It's just me. You wanna do something?"

"You're worried about Izzy." Nick said, unquestioning.

"Yeah, and I was wondering if you would do something with me so that i could stop worrying. Because we all know when i worry about one thing, I worry about another thing, and once i worry about that, then-"

"No wonder you're Hestia's kid," Nick said. "You think too much about everything."

"Well, can we do something so I stop thinking too much?" Stella whined at Nick.

Nick looked around, then noticed some kids swimming at the beach. "Why don't we go swimming?"

"Sounds good. I'll go get changed."

After 5 minutes, Stella comes back with her swimsuit on. They walked together to the beach. As soon as they hit the sand, they looked at each other and immediately started sprinting. 

"I'll get there first!" Nick yelled.

"Nope!" Stella yelled as she shoved Nick and got there first and dived in the water. Nick got in too and splashed her.

"You're a cheater!"

"I am not! I simply pushed you in way that restrained you from getting to the water before me!" Stella said jokingly.

"That's cheating!" Nick said.

They stayed at the beach for about an hour then decided to go to Nick's hut and watch a movie. As they laid on couch, Stella noticed Nick sneaking glances at her every so often.

"What are you doing?" Stella asked Nick.

"What? I'm not doing anything."

"You keep sneaking glances at me."

"I-uh, I-"

"Whoa, whoa, whoa. Is Nick Hayes, the one person who I thought never gets nervous, stuttering?" Stella joked.

"You're the one person who makes me nervous," Nick told Stella as he looked her in the eye.

"What is that supposed to mean?"

"Stella,  I like you! I really do." Nick confessed.

"Really?"

"Really," Nick said as he came close to her face and kissed her.

After their kiss, Stella said, "Good to know," with a laugh as they went to sleep.
