PJO/HoO Around the Campfire

A War (;

"It landed in Nico's old spot, does that mean Nico, even if he's not sitting there anymore?"

"Yeah, I guess."

"Okay, neeks, truth or dare." Nico hated that nickname but he didn't correct it this time, instead he just used one that Jason hated equally.

"I choose dare, superman." He smirked at the look on Jason's face.

"I dare you to sing a song, you can choose."

"Fine, I'll sing 'Cancer' by My Chemical Romance.

Turn away,
If you could get me a drink of water 'cause my lips are chapped and faded.
Call my aunt Marie,
Help her gather all my things and bury me in all my favourite colours,
My sisters and my brothers still.

I will not kiss you 'cause the hardest part of this is leaving you.

Now turn away, 'cause I'm awful just to see, 'cause all my hairs abandoned all my body.
All my agony, know that I will never marry.
Baby I'm just soggy from the chemo, counting down the days to go.
It just ain't living, and I just hope you know that if you say goodbye today,

I'd ask you to be true, 'cause the hardest part of this is leaving you,
'Cause the hardest part of this is leaving you.

When Nico was done singing everyone was in shock, he had a beautiful singing voice. Will was the only one who talked, he whispered in Nico' ear.

"Wow, ghost king, I didn't know you could sing so well."

"Ya, I don't like singing in front of people." The whole group was still staring at Nico in shock, he started to feel self conscious. "Piper, it's your turn." He said, a bit harsher than he meant to but it seemed to work because Piper spun the bottle, she didn't look phased by the tone he was using.

"Travis, truth or dare."

"You already know, dare."

"Confess to your crush." Piper winked at him and his ears started to turn red, he quickly got control of blush and turned to face Katie.

"Katie, I like you." Katie was surprised, she didn't think Travis actually liked her back. Travis was rambling now because Katie has not responded yet. She stopped him by kissing him.

"I like you too." After a short pause something dawned on her. "We totally just copied Cecil and Lou Ellen."

"That's okay we don't mind." As an after thought she added. "You guys are really cute together." That made Katie blush a little but she secretly enjoyed it.

"I'll go then," Leo interrupted before it could get awkward. "Will, truth or dare?"

"Dare."

"Have a pick-up line war with Nico, he can get off your lap for this so he can face you."

"Ok, I'll start, ready death boy?" Nico didn't say anything, just got off of Will's lap and sat in front of him.

"Are you religious? Because you're the answer to all my prayers."

"Are you a parking ticket? Because you've got fine written all over you."

"For some reason, I was feeling a little off today. But then you came along, you definitely turned me on." Nico was freaking out for a second in his head, 'did he see before? He probably did. AHHHHHHH! Wait, never mind, it's just a stupid pick-up line'. With his ADHD he thought all that in a few seconds so when he said the next pick-up line, it was right on time.

"Are you sure you're not tired? Because you've been running through my mind all day." That was true, Will had been on Nico's mind for the most of the day.

"Would you grab my arm, so I can tell my friends I've been touched by an angel?" Cecil and Lou Ellen snickered at that because Will had said similar words before.

"Did the sun come out or did you just smile at me?" That was definitely not the first time he compared Will's smile to the sun.

"Can I follow you home? Because my parents always told me to follow my dreams." Will had to refrain from blushing just thinking about the dreams he's had.

"You remind me of a magnet, because you sure are attracting me over here."

"Is it hot in here or is it just you?"

"Are you a time traveler, because I see you in my future."

"Somethings wrong with my eyes, I can't take them off you." This has actually been a problem for Will sometimes, Kayla had caught him staring a lot so she couldn't help but laugh when he said it.

"Are you a 45-degree angle? Because you're acute-y"

"You're pretty and I'm cute. Together we'd be pretty cute."

"Let's be nothing, because nothing lasts forever."

"My bed's broken, can I sleep in yours?" Will was actually wanting to do that for a while.

"That shirt looks really good on you, but then again, it would look better on the floor."

"Kiss me if I'm wrong, but dinosaurs still exist, right?" Nico couldn't think of anymore pick-up lines, he was too hung up on the fact that he wanted to kiss Will.

"I can't think of any more, you win." Before Nico could sit back on Will's lap Katie said something.

"I'm getting pretty tired." Most of the group agreed so Annabeth came up with a solution.

"Should we call it a night? We still haven't played that game Percy suggested, paranoia, we could continue tomorrow after the fire." After the group agreed they left Zeus' cabin to go back to their own.
