"What are you doing here again?"
"I feel the love, thanks", snorted the son of Hades. "So glad you enjoy my company like that. The better question would anyway be: What are you doing here? It's my cabin."
Nico glared, his arms crossed over his chest as he fell down onto the bed. The soft, black satin easily gave way for his body, though the bed protested under the additional weight.
"Poor Ghost Prince, all pouty again", grinned the ginger and ruffled his hair.
Rachel and Annabeth scooted a little closer together so Nico had more room.
"I didn't feel like staying in my cabin, normally I go and visit Percy then, but...", started the daughter of Athena and bit her lips. "We thought we'd go here for a bit..."
"Wonderful! My cabin is the girls club", snorted the son of Hades irritated.
"Well, where else are we supposed to get a silent minute without someone, like the newbies, bothering us?", grunted Clarisse as she entered with three diet cokes in her hands. "Tricksters!"
"Yeah. They're way too frightened by you and your cabin to bother us here", agreed Chris.
He and his older brother entered the cabin together, carrying snacks in both their arms. The three newly arrivals came to sit with the other on the bed. Chris spread the goodies all over the big bed, splitting them between their friends. Annabeth grabbed herself a pack of chips while Travis grabbed himself a Ghost Prince. Pulling the half-Italian close, he rested his head on top of Nico's.
"I'm not a pillow, idiotic thief", grunted the son of Hades with a faint blush.
He blamed his stepmother for the nonsensical ideas inside his head, unsure what to do.
"But you're comfortable", hummed Travis, breathing the earthy scent of his Ghost Prince in.
"Should we leave so you two can have some privacy?", grunted Clarisse amused.
"Aw, what is Percy supposed to think of that?", giggled Rachel, blushing slightly.
He would probably think this is hot", snorted Annabeth before turning to Nico. "Okay, so, while you're here, tell us what the gods are doing at the moment."
"They're drawing straws because they have to make the toughest decision", snickered Nico.

"One of us has to do it", muttered Zeus with an displeased frown.
"Oh? Are you volunteering?", snorted Hades, his arms defensively crossed in front of him.
"No", snorted the Lightning God ridiculed. "If anyone, it should be Poseidon."
"I completely agree with you, brother", smirked the Lord of Darkness.
Poseidon opposite of them groaned in annoyance. It figured that they would chose this exact moment to agree on something. He looked as grumpy as possible. But the bad thing was... he knew they were right. Zeus was currently a too pouty child acting as if someone stole his favorite toy, he would be too insensitive for this job. And Hades? He had never been the most sensitive god either.
"Okay, fine", grunted the Sea God annoyed and stood slowly. "I will do it. But you two will take care of our Hera problem all the while. Hold a council, contemplate what to do with her once she's returned to us. Take care of this while I'll be..."
He sighed and turned, vanishing in pure light.

"What's for dinner tonight, love?"
