@deluca-demigods continued from here.

jace had been waiting for the deluca siblings so the three could have dinner. he had nibbled through the crackers he kept as a "just-in-case" snack. "hope you guys got what you needed to done," he referenced the rehearsal carson spoke of. the son of mercury was typically one to take people at their word, preferring benefit of the doubt over cynicism.

"i'm thinking either waffle house or a 'n' w. either of those sound good to you guys?" jace asked. breakfast for dinner or a classic burger joint. both were good options.

[Comfort] -Nicky

It had been a hard week. Sara knew better than to push Nicky. She kept herself busy with her hobbies, spending time with Percy and Carson, and playing pretend when Nicky finally appeared out of his cabin again. She hadn’t expected him to come to her right away, but the second they were alone, he was leaning against her. She didn’t hesitate. Her arms wrapped around him, her nose burying into his hair. She would be his cornerstone. Who carried the weight for someone who took everyone else’s? She would gladly carry all of it for him.

" carson. " her tone is unusually serious - flat, almost - when she calls her sister's name out, and that is never a good sign. it means elodie is either in trouble or in need of a favor; dunno which one of the options available is the worst. " say, how is your knowledge of ━ " purple eyes quickly glance over the book resting on the desk in front of her once more. " the industrial revolution lookin' like? "

"And you think of all of the things you've seen, and you wish that you could live in between-" Carson sang softly to what she had assumed was just the strawberry fields and herself. Ever since she was a child she had found herself drawn to vineyards. At least she had found out pretty early why. "And you're back again.. only different than before.." It wasn't easy being a demigod. It wasn't easy having to leave and become a DeLuca again. Coming back to Camp would always be an adjustment, but at least the strawberry fields were there.

Aftermath [Theron/Carson]

@deluca-demigods continued in beta from [x]

A vague semblance of a laugh shook her shoulders. It wasn’t exuberant, like normal. No head being thrown back and feet stomping. But it was the closest she had had since before Rory passed a few days prior. “You’ll be fine.” She took him the long way around camp, easing them through trees and walking casually when they were in open space. The blonde said few, but her smile was sharper than her blade when she led him through the dusky evening towards where the cars were kept. Predictably, Carson had made a copy of her brother’s keys. Even more predictably, his was the expensive and sleek Mitsubishi. “Buckle up,” she whispered, tossing him the keys and casually walking up to the door. History proved the more you ran for what you wanted the more likely you were to get caught.

"Damn," Theron let out a whistle when he saw which car they were taking. "Alright then," he grinned catching the keys without even looking up. He unlocked the doors and eagerly slipped into the drivers side. "Burritos here we come," he grinned. Theron looked to Carson, "So, I have this rule usually; driver picks the music but," he smirked and shot her a wink. "I'll let you just this once." Theron hoped that all these little things would help cheer her up. Even if they did encounter a monster out in the mortal realm, maybe a small fight would help her feel better about everything too.

@deluca-demigods ♥️ ‘d for a musical lyric starter! ( random draw - nicky & cecil ) “come home with me ( reprise )”, hadestown

They’re brothers. Cecil does  his best to wrap his head  around  that as he looks  at Nicky. He always  has to remind himself about it. He looks at Nicky with anxiety in his gaze. “Whatever happened, I’m to blame.”

Kenna huffed and rolled her eyes, blue hues drifting over in the direction of where the boys were. In a world where she had only ever been hurt, it was Nicky that showed her what true love and compassion was. She had to admit there were still moments when she was afraid to really let herself love him as much as she did, for fear that he would suddenly leave. However, loving him was something she’s never once regretted.

“You know,” Kenna spoke up with a grin directed towards her best friend, “ I could probably  admit your love is also my favorite.”

😘-Nicky

Send 😘 to kiss my muse by surprise

Drew hated surprises on principal. Most surprises, she had found, were awful experiences, whether they be people jumping out at you for their own amusement or getting bad news. And it was always bad news. But, as with many things, Nicky was starting to change her mind about surprises.

In a lot of ways, he had been one of the biggest surprises of her life just by sticking around when she tried so hard to push him away. For years, her prickly attitude and harsh words had kept her safe from the emotional minefield that was getting close to other people. Safe and cold and bitter and… maybe a little lonely. And so as much as she hated to admit to being wrong, it was nice to have someone who had been patient with her, who tolerated the monster she played herself as until she was comfortable showing him the scared girl she often really was.

And this surprise was no less pleasant, she thought, as he leaned in, lifted her chin with a gentle touch, and brushed his lips across hers. He’d probably meant it to be a quick, subtle kiss as he likely wasn’t meant to be hanging around the Aphrodite table in the dining pavilion, snogging, but she wasn’t going to let him off that easy, winding her fingers through the hair at the back of his head and drawing him back in for a second, more lingering kiss as soon as the first one ended. Then, of course, being true to herself, she pulled back a few inches and gave him a scolding look.

“Don’t do that, it’s horribly distracting and I am trying to study. I have a science quiz on Monday and I am getting one hundred percent.”

@deluca-demigods asked: "You wanted to be left alone, right?" -Nicky

Annabeth didn’t say anything ; and honestly, she didn’t know what to say. Usually she’s not like that, unless something is really worrying her. Annabeth has fast thinking— a million thoughts and ideas for different situations and scenarios and always comes up with a solution for them.

But when she doesn’t— that’s when she starts to get a little grumpy and to say things she didn’t mean to.

“No.” She finally answered. “I didn’t want to.”

[drakonslxyer]

“’Hate’ is a strong word… let’s settle for a ‘great disliking of’.” -Nicky

Clarisse mulled that over for a minute. “What’s the difference other than vernacular?”

[heartlessinamorata]

Drew couldn’t help but wrinkle up her nose at the sight before her. Nicky’s hair was blue. Not the nice shade of blue that she imagined would make his eyes pop, but an unevenly died shade that had tinged slightly green in spots where his natural blond locks fought back.

“What in Hades did you do?”

a kiss that leaves behind lipstick marks. -Youngish Nicky and Sara

The sound of footsteps pounding down the stairs has Sara finally wrenching her lips away from Nicky’s golden brown skin. The sight of him sprawled across her bed has her heart pounding, as does the multiple lipstick marks she left across said skin. She listens intently for a moment, satisfied the offender wasn’t about to pound on her door. Her gaze finally shifts back to her boyfriend, a soft giggle escaping as she reached up to gently rub at his jaw. “Sorry, I don’t wear lipstick often and got carried away.”

“…what are you covered in?”

@deluca-demigods

Dane frowned as he looked down at himself but the room was... shifting. Man what *was* he covered in? He knew he had to do his best to appear at least semi sober in front of his mother but it was a little hard when you were literally so high that the room was spinning and there was... coral coming off of the wall? He took a deep breath and shook his head slowly. In reality he was doing it so slowly that it looked stupid but in his mind he was acting just fine. 

“Uh wa-water?” suddenly he remembered “yeah water I fell into a friend’s pool...”  sddenly he felt like giggling but tried not to let that show too much either. “Uhm someone push me in more like anyway I should go... to my room...”

Nicky James DeLuca. Son of one fabulous (read: over compensating) Katerina DeLuca and the God of Travel: Hermes himself. Nicky was raised in the upper East side by a plethora of nannies and teachers that were too stubborn to give up on him. He’s not quite sure why he was granted the token of favored son. Why his grandparents funded him and was given what little affection his mother had. Perhaps because it was he that had first scared off the strangely horrific abusive lover? The one with the curious one eye? His mother had convinced him it was Only a dream though. But now that Nicky is older, and now knowing all that he knows, he finds this story to be hard to believe. 

After years of incidents and tall tales in schools and churches, his relationship with his little sister waned. Nicky found himself torn between playing the suave and elite man he was being groomed into and burning the whole city down. He didn't know that his sister was struggling with the same ordea, and the moment he found ou, he sought to protect her. His sister never told him about the monsters and all that went on in the house. And by the time she did, she had already fallen in with the wrong people and found her own stories far-fetched.

It was a satyr that found him at school (amidst planning a fabulous escape through the window) . It hardly took time for him to convince Nicky that he wasn't insane, and together they set off to find his little sister. After that he could take Nicky wherever he wanted to go.

They don't talk about the night Nicky found her and took her to camp. Not for many years.

From there they made it camp relatively unscathed. Nicky was delighted to discover rhat his sister could go too. They had always had separate fathers. Now they were just godly ones. Whatever the case, and no matter how much they bicker, she would always be his little sister. Now he just has to figure out how to be a good big brother to her.

Nicky appears to be an open book, but the more you get to know him, the more you see hidden beneath the charming exterior. Like most demigods, he has his own demons to fight as well as monsters and was raised how to shield himself from the public eye while remaining wholly in it. Caring for people can be a dangerous game, and sometimes he does a good job of hiding how high the stakes are.

"I CAN’T SLEEP" (Carson and Theron)

“Me either but hey, sleep’s overrated right?” He scoffed. If he could sleep he would, but he couldn’t, so he was out here by the amphitheater looking up at the stars. Theron had quickly tucked away a book in his back pocket when Carson walked up and he’d asked why she was up. “But ‘can’t sleep’ isn’t really a direct answer.”

SEND 🌷 - FOR OUR MUSES TO PLANT FLOWERS TOGETHER.

Cecil loves Spring. He adores it, really, and brightening up the front of the cabins with fresh flowers is just what he needs. He grins at Carson as they plant a row of tulips in front of Cabin Five. “These look awesome. The Ares kids are gonna’ hate them, but they look fantastic, right?”
