Will I help Nico up and walk him over to the campfire. In the middle of one of the campfire songs, Percy gestures for us to follow him. I sigh and help Nico up, and walk over to the Poseidon cabin with him. As I push open the door, I see all the seven plus Reyna and the Stoll brothers. There is a slight gap big enough for two people to narrowly squeeze in between everyone. I blush as me and Nico sit down, pressed against each other. Nico must have been exhausted because as soon as we sit down he falls asleep against my shoulder. I blush harder, but try to hide it. Connor Stoll looks at me with a sly grin. “We are gonna play truth or dare.” Percy announces, trying to hide his giggling. Connor looks at me. “Will, truth or dare?” He says, and, feeling a surge of excitement, I automatically speak. “Dare.” The Stolls exchange sly grins before Connor speaks. “I dare you to kiss the cutest person in the room.” He says with a smirk. I look at Nico, peacefully sleeping on my shoulder, and feel heat travel up my neck and to my face. “On the lips. For at least 5 seconds.” He adds. I can feel myself blushing harder. “No,” I say finally. “Not while he is asleep.” “But you have to!” Connor complained. I sigh, look down at Nico, blushing hard, and tilt his head up to face me, and capture his lips in a short kiss. I pull away after a few seconds, and from the way everyone is staring at me, I can tell I must be blushing furiously. “There. Happy?” I say, and Connor grins. “That was only four seconds.” He says, and clicks his tongue in mock sadness, shaking his head. I blush even harder. “I’m not doing that again!” Just as I say that, Nico wakes up. “Doing what again..?” He asks, still laying on my shoulder and his eyes half closed. I blush harder. Nico I don’t know why I asked. I knew. I had been half awake the whole time, and I heard, and felt, everything that had happened. It was all I could do to not blush when he kissed me. Oh gods, why had I liked it? Connor ignores my question. “Too bad, you have to!” Will blushed red as a cherry. “Huh?” I say, a little louder, and Connor finally sees me awake. He smirks, as if to say, finally, you're awake to enjoy the moment. Will blushes even harder, and looks at me. “Sorry.” He says as he tilts my head up and kisses me. Surprised, my eyes widen, but after a little, I close my eyes and lean into the kiss. I wrap my arms around his neck. I pull closer to Will. When we pull back, panting, I can tell it was definitely more than five seconds from the way everyone is looking at us. I lean against Will, blushing. I check the time, looking at a conveniently placed clock. Oh, good. We had been kissing for only 5 seconds, that was a first. I blush hard. “Sorry.” Will says again. “Don’t be.” I say quickly. I don’t know why I say it. It just comes out. But something about the kiss had felt.. Wrong. Everyone looks at us. I scowl at them. They look away. Finally, Will speaks. “Percy, truth or dare?” he asks. Percy shakes his head. “Dude, don’t try to change the topic.” He says. “I wasn’t. I was trying to continue the game.” Will responds. Percy barks a harsh laugh. “Yeah, right, Solace. But fine, truth.” Will thinks for a moment, then speaks. “How many hours have you slept this week?” Percy pales. “Dare.” Will smirks. “I dare you to tell me how many hours you have slept this week.” Percy groans. “Fine. Twenty-four hours this week, happy?” Will laughs. “You don’t have to hide that, Percy. It is only Wednesday. For a second there I thought you were going to say none.” Percy sighs. “Anyways,” He looks at me. “Nico, truth or dare?” I look around. Was there another Nico in here? Nope. Just me. I sigh. “Dare I guess,” I say, but glare at him, as if telling him not to try anything extreme. “I dare you to sing a song. Any song.” I sigh, and give Will’s hand a squeeze. Then I stand up. Of course the only song that comes to mind is You Are My Sunshine. I take a deep breath, and begin to sing.
