PJO/HoO Around the Campfire

Bottles in Hell Pt. II

When the bottle stopped spinning Travis was a little disappointed, he wanted it to land on Katie. "Hey, Travis, don't look so sad, I'm not that bad." Will said jokingly.

"Yeah, whatever." They both got up and headed into the bathroom.

After they had gone into the bathroom Annabeth turned to Connor.

"I hear you want to arm wrestle? Do you think you got better since last time?"

"Last time?" Piper perked up. "Connor, you never told me you already arm wrestled her."

"Yep, because I won." Annabeth smiled.

"I bet I can win this time." Connor said.

Annabeth raised her eyebrows and held an arm out to Connor, preparing to wrestle.

Connor grabbed her hand and they had Piper count down for them to start.

They were both using most of their strength, Connor's face turning red, their hands leaning closer to Annabeth's side.

Annabeth managed to smile at Connor before using a surge of strength and pushing Connor's hand down.

Connor caught his breath and shook his hands out, "again?"

"Of course, just a second. I need to catch my breath."

Percy leaned over and whispered something in Annabeth's ear that made her laugh and swat his arm playfully.

"Alright I'm ready." Annabeth stuck her hand out again and Connor grabbed it with more determination than he had before.

They played five more rounds after that, Connor won the last one when the time went off.

Nico, who had become the keeper of the timer now, stood up when it went off and knocked on the door to alert Travis and Will.

Travis came out of the bathroom first, laughing his head off and Will came out next thoroughly shaken up.

"Hey, what happened in there?" Nico asked.

"He offered me a piece of gum but it was actually wasabi. I can handle spice, but not wasabi. Not wasabi."

Will and Nico went back to their spots and Katie spun the bottle.

"Oh great, it landed on Connor. I was hoping it would land on my boyfriend's brother." Katie said, her voice full of sarcasm.

Connor and Katie walked into the bathroom together and locked the door.

"So, how are you?" Katie asked, awkwardly leaning against the bathroom counter.

"I'm fine, you?"

"Fine, fine."

"So, you and my bro are dating. How's that going?"

"Pretty great so far, I really like Travis."

"Hmm, I'm not going to give you the whole 'if you break my brother's heart I'll break you' speech, but I will say this, my brother cares about you, like a lot, and I don't want him to get hurt."

"I know, I care about him too." Katie smiled at him, "what about you, any crushes?"

Connor laughed, "nope."

The two of them talked for the rest of the time until Nico knocked on the door and they went back to their seats. When Katie sat down next to Travis she slipped her hand into his and squeezed it slightly, just letting him know she was there for him.

Will reached for the bottle and spun to see who he would have to go in the bathroom with. The bottle landed on Nico and both of them sighed with relief.

Piper raised her eyebrows as the two of them got up and headed into the bathroom.

Will led the way to the bathroom so when Nico walked in behind Will, he had to lock the door.

Will turned to Nico as soon as the door was locked, Will hadn't walked too far so they were both standing pretty close together.

Will took a step towards Nico and whispered, "we don't have to if you don't..." He trailed off staring at Nico.

Nico didn't answer verbally, instead he kissed Will to answer the question. Will put his hands on Nico's waist as Nico put his hands on Will's chest.

Will pulled him closer by the waist.

Even though every part of their bodies were touching Nico still felt like he needed more, he pushed Will against the wall and stood on his tip-toes so Will wouldn't have to lean down as much.

There was a knock at the door that, judging by how sporadic the knocking was, probably belonged to Leo.

Will had slowed his heart rate and was breathing at a normal pace again, Nico was sitll breathing heavily.

"Are you alright Nico?" Will asked, getting a bit worried.

"Yeah I'm fine, It's just, you have no idea how long I've wanted to do that."

Will gave a short laugh and said, "me too." Then he kissed Nico on the top of his head before opening the door.

"Oh you finally decided to join us?" Leo said, folding his arms over his chest.

"Shut up, Leo." Nico mumbled as he walked passed, Will just ignored Leo and sat down in his spot.

Nico sat beside him so close their thighs were touching. No one said anything about their proximity but Piper gave a quick glance towards Annabeth and they smiled at each other.

"Nico, your turn." Leo prompted.

"Ugh, again?" Nico sighed.

"You haven't gone yet!"

"It feels like I have. Fine, I'll go, but I won't be happy about it." He reached for the bottle and spun, silently hoping it would land on Will.

It did not, however, land on Will, it landed on Percy.
