PJO/HoO Around the Campfire

Would You Rather Do It (II)

December 14, 2020

"Alright my turn to ask somebody," Rayna said after she sat back down from her little one person dance party. "Jason, would you rather name the most attractive thing about everyone playing or kiss someone in that room?"

"I guess there is a possibility for contact in this game," Leo said, mostly under his breath.

Jason didn't answer Reyna's question verbally but it was quite clear which one he chose when he leaned over to Piper, they were sitting side-by-side and leaning against the wall across the cabin from the fountain used to IM, and he kissed her once it was clear that she was okay with it.

The kiss didn't last long but it definitely wasn't just a peck. Jason looked around after they broke apart, a little sheepish, so he could pick who to ask next.\

"Percy would you rather tell us what Annabeth whispered in your ear or make out with her?" No matter which option Percy chose this would raise the bar for how far they could go with these questions.

"Alright, then..." He looked at Annabeth to make sure she'd be comfortable with it and when he knew she was he pulled her towards him where they were sitting on the bed.

Percy was sitting criss-crossed on his bed and after a few seconds Annabeth moved so she was sitting on her knees in front of him. Pretty much everybody could tell that if they weren't there Annabeth would already be straddling him by now.

Annabeth and Percy were both really aware of everyone else watching them, it was really weird making out in front of them. On normal days they tried not to even kiss too much in fron tof other people just in case they didn't like PDA, so this was very new.

They broke apart after a while and Annabeth moved back to sit next to him, she wiped her mouth and then felt weird for having wiped it. She was feeling a bit self conscious about this, plus everyone was staring at them.

"Grover," Percy noticed Annabeth was feeling uncomfortable by her body language and he quickly moved the game along. "Would you rather tell an embarrassing story about yourself or... play something on your reed pipe? You have your reed pipe here, right?"

"Of course I do, what would you like to hear?" Grover pulled his reed pipe out and started playing something before anyone had the chance to suggest anything.

Percy hoped nothing bad would happen from this, like vines growing or people going crazy. Luckily, no plants sprouted out of the floor of Percy's cabin so it looked like they'd dodged a bullet with that one.

Grover stopped playing and put his reed pipes away, "Will, would you rather describe the person you would most like to date or try to seduce a person in this room?"

"Can I know who I would have to seduce before I choose?"

"Nope." Grover smiled at him.

"I'll do the second one then, who  do I have to seduce?"

Annabeth mouthed 'Nico' tso that Grover could see and Percy pointed at him to make it more clear. Will and Nico were sitting on the ground with their backs against Percy's bed so they couldn't see what Percy and Annabeth were doing.

Grover just went with it and told Will he would have to seduce Nico. Will laughed but Nico just sighed, he wasn't particularly happy with this decision but only because of how many people were in the room.

Will turned to face Nico, stifling a laugh as he looked Nico up and down. "How would you like to go on a date with me?" Will tried to sound seductive but it came off more wobbly and awkward than he was hoping.

"Mhmm, yep." Nico didn't know how to act in this scenario."

"Everytime I see you I have to stop myself from kissing you, it's really hard sometimes."

Nico wasn't sure if he was even supposed to respond. "That's what she said." he cringed as soon as the words past his lips.

It was probably  the 'that's what she said' joke but Will realized he couldn't do this, "can you please just kiss me to put me out of my misery?"

Nico leaned forward, careful not to knock over the nail polish bottle, and he kissed Will. He forgot to feel embarrassed about kissing in front of everyone because Will made him feel so safe and secure.

Everyone laughed at the look on grover's face, pure surprise. "Well, I wasn't expecting it to go that far."

"Grover, they're dating," Percy laughed, "you missed quite a bit while you were gone."

"Oh, well... Congratulations."

Will smiled at Grover, Nico busied himself with painting his nails on the right hand so he didn't have to look at the other people. Will was about to offer Nico help with his nails but he seemed to be doing fine with his left hand so he just continued with the game.

"Connor, would you rather tell us who the last person you kissed was or switch clothes with the person you are sitting closest to?" Will looked over at Connor to see who he was sitting near, Connor was sitting on the spare bed with his feet on the ground so close to Leo he was almost sitting on them. "I guess that would be Leo then."

Travis looked down at Leo, they seemed to have a silent conversation with each other, it was short lived but they both hoped no one questioned it too deeply.

Finally Connor responded, "I'll do the second one. Now, if you don't mind, Leo and I will go into the bathroom to do this." He mimed blowing a kiss at the group and hauled Leo up and into the bathroom.

When the door closed Reyna spooky up. "Did they just go into the bathroom together to change?"

No one responded other than the curt nod Annabeth gave.
