Snowfall

Kiss a Ginger

"Stolls!" The two brothers bolted away from the enraged daughter of Zeus, laughing to themselves. Thalia was furious. The goddamned sons of Hermes found it okay to put something in her shampoo and she had awoken with red hair. Ginger, to be exact, but not like it was any better with a different name.

In her opinion, she looked ugly as fuck with ginger hair. It contrasted terribly with her tan skin and blue eyes. She swore if she heard anyone make a single remark about her hair she would knock them so hard that they would be left with two halves of a head. No exaggeration.

"Get back here you little shits!" Thalia yelled in the direction they had gone but didn't bother chasing them. They were sons of Hermes, they were born for speed, she wouldn't catch them. So she just scowled after them and pretty much tried to send them a mental vision of her mauling them.

Thalia retreated back into her cabin and was able to stay without interruption for a few hours. Someone knocked on the door, and she heard Percy's voice call her name. Thalia exhaled heavily. "Come on, let me in!" Percy pleaded.

"You won't like what you see," Thalia called back. "But fine. That doesn't mean I won't kill you if you sarcasm me." Percy opened the door and stepped inside and froze when he saw her draped along her makeshift bed. "Don't speak," she warned.

Percy held up his hands and moved over to the hammock, sitting on the floor beside her. "What happened?" He asked cautiously.

"Damn Stolls," Thalia growled. "Can you kill them for me?"

"I will when I leave," he said. "For now you get to enjoy my company."

"Impossible," Thalia groaned. Percy just chuckled and rested his chin on the fabric next to her head.

"I'm sure I can find a way to make you enjoy this," he muttered into her ear.

Thalia rolled her head over to face him, their faces but an inch apart. "Really?" she said quietly. "I'm not sure I believe you."

Percy smiled lazily, leaning forward to nip at her lip. "You should." He brushed his lips against hers, and Thalia pushed into him. It was a bit awkward, with Thalia laying and Percy upright, but it was enjoyable nonetheless. Percy pulled back slowly, inhaling deeply before letting his breath wash over her face.

Percy smirked. "I guess I can now say that I've kissed a ginger."

Thalia slapped him.
