Fairs are not my favorite. However when a certain blond boy (cough, Will, cough) doesn't want to third wheel alone, I guess I'll go.
I'll watch the three of them have fun, maybe even laugh a little, but I'll continue to be on guard. My sword may not be as compact as a pen or talk,(as Annabeth had mentioned once, but I had no clue what that was about) but I sure as hell was not gonna leave it in my cabin. I flinched for it at almost every noise. It being a fair, there was a lot of noise.
"Neeks." Will grabbed my hand, when I reached for my sword again. My cheeks felt warm and I looked at Will, in his sky blue eyes. "Calm down. Just have fun."
I was tempted to do so. It was almost as if he had charmspeak. With those looks, he could easily pass for a child of Aphrodite. But I pulled my hand away from his.
"You know just as well as I do, that there could be monsters hunting is right now." I looked around and realized that we had lost Lou Ellen and Cecil. "Um your friends are gone."
Will, who seemed very unsurprised, looked around and shrugged. "Huh, I guess your right. Come on down we can find them on the Ferris wheel."
I was about to protest, but my arm was grabbed, my face was warm, and by the time I could think clearly again, we were already in the little two person car and moving up.
My first thought was sky. We were going to be omg the sky. I was having flash backs to the agro II going down, and Apollo's bus going down. Then another thought occurred to me. Zeus is gonna smite me. But then I calmed down, because we would only be on the top for like a second, right?
All the termoil in my mind went away when Will "yawned" and put his arm around me. What the heck was that? I wanted to ask, but if I did, he might think I don't like it and move, and I don't want that.
"So..." He tried to start a conversation. "Have you seen the walking dead?"
"Is that a joke?" I asked confused. "Yeah I see them all the time."
"No, the walking dead."
"Yes. I am the son of Hades. I control them. I'm not blind. So yes I've seen them."
"Oh my gods, you have never seen it."
"Oh my gods, you are impossible."
Will looked at me as if I were crazy. "Yes, I am the impossible one."
By the time we were on the top, the ride had stopped. I began to freak out. It's gonna fall, or Zeus is gonna kill me. It has to start moving again.
"Uh," A voice yelled up from the ground. "Don't freak out, the ride will begin working again momentarily. Remain calm while we uh, fix the problem."
"Oh no." I said freaking out. I looked around at the other cars. There were maybe twelve people on the ride in total. "How are we supposed to save twelve people if this thing falls?"
"Nico, it won't fall." Will scooted a bit closer to me.
"Yes it will." I stated bluntly, ignoring the urge to melt into his side and stare at his face. "When ever I'm in the sky, I fall."
Will laughed, but I was dead (no pun intended) serious. I began attempting to stand up, which shook the cart and which made shake. Will pulled me down with his strong arms and held me there. I turned to him determined to get him to let me stand and not get distracted by his face or eyes or hair-
Nope, a whole other thing distracted me. His lips on mine. The warmth of his lips contrasted with my cold ones, and the sensation drove me crazy. Just like the first time I was in battle, my senses were dialed to eleven. I closed my eyes and let it happen. Then he pulled away.
"S-Sorry, it's just-" his face was all red. "You look r-really cute when your freaking out. I just couldn't help my self."
I didn't know what to say, so I didn't say any thing. I grabbed his arm, which was now by his side and put it back over my shoulders, and this time I did melt into his side. I was so happy in that moment. The ride could crumple, the world could end, Zeus could send a lightning strike to kill me, and I wouldn't care.

When we got to the bottom, I turned my head up to look at Will. "Seems like I really do fall when ever I'm in the air."
Will laughed a bit, then gave me a look of disbelief. "You made that pun, but you don't get the walking dead?"
