Charlie's Pov:

I met him down by the beach. god, he was beautiful. His hair was messy and frizzed, and his smile was as bright and gorgeous as ever. When he saw me, he stood there just staring, now I'm thinking it might not have been the best idea to let the girls dress me. I'm about to say something when he stops me.

"God's, you're beautiful." He placed his hands on my arms as he said this, but dropped then quickly and coughed nervously.

My heartbeat sped up. Did he honestly think that? I felt stupid, ugly, and gross. But he thought I was beautiful. "Really?" I asked, and he nodded, staring at my face with certainty.

"Of course, hasn't anyone ever told you?" He seemed genuinely curious. The question wasn't rhetorical, so I just shook my head, signaling I had meant no. "Well, they should. You're so pretty, my gosh." He was looking in my eyes, I decided to place my hand on his cheek, smiling softly.

"Thank you." I spoke quietly. The world seemed to fade around us. It was just us. Just us alone, on a beach. I moved my hand away, and he coughed again.

"Yeah, um, I have all this set out." He gestured to the food on the blankets, strawberries, pineapple, and blackberries. I don't know if he knew this, but these were my comfort foods, I'm glad that they were in small portions too, I don't think I would have eaten as many as Nick piled into his mouth. I laughed, and he turned to me. "What?" He asked, mouth full of the fruits.

"Nothing..." I say then laugh. He seems even more confused now because his eyebrows furrowed together, and his smile faded.

"What?" He asked again, I was still laughing at the amount of food he had shoved into his face.

"Nothing!" I said dismissively

"No, no, what are you laughing at???" He asked, and I was now dying, rolling around on the sand and holding my hand over my face so as not to get any of the dirt in my mouth. Nick got up and ran over to me, grabbing my body and shaking me back and forth, not hard, though. He wasn't hurting me, just playing. "Whattttt!?" He asked again. Suddenly, the atmosphere changed as I was now under him, my breathing hard from laughing so much, his breathing hard from tackling me. He lay above me, our lips inches apart. He sat up quickly and grabbed another fruit. "Strawberry?" He asked. It was covered in chocolate. It didn't look that bad, if I must admit.

"Sure." I nodded and took the strawberry gently from his hands. "Thanks."

"Yeah... yeah, I knew you liked strawberries and pineapple, I noticed you don't eat that much, but you do seem to enjoy these, I wasn't so sure about the blackberries, so I just guessed, but you don't have to eat them if you don't want to." He said, and I smiled.

"Thank you, it...means a lot." He blushed and nodded, staying in a comfortable silence. We sat on the towel that Nick had laid out for us. The food was between us, the sea in front of us, and our knees were touching. The moment felt perfect.

Nick's Pov:

Charlie looked gorgeous, his light skin complemented the blue perfectly, and his eyes looked as beautiful as the sea in front of us. Gods, was he pretty. I wanted to kiss him right then, just lean over, let our hands brush together, our knees rub up against each other, our lips touching. But I didn't want him to be uncomfortable, especially since he probably didn't even notice me before this before I asked him out. I looked over at him to see he was already staring at me, he leaned forward slightly, I connected our fingers. We were close to each other, our lips only centimeters away from the others. I stopped, and he closed the gap. It only took me a moment to kiss back. It felt like the world could explode, and I wouldn't notice, I could fall from the top of a building, and as long as Charlie was there, and I was kissing him, I wouldn't feel a thing. It felt perfect. It felt right. Y'know what? Screw those other plans, and I'm fine with being here, next to Charlie, I'm fine like this.

YAYYYY!!! that's the end of the demi-gods parts! I am thinking about writing a texting one next, so if you guys would like to read that, lmk, I would also like to incorporate some of my humor into these, but I'm not sure if you guys would like it, so for comparison, if you've ever seen IT my humor is like Richie Tozier but with more sarcasm, so yeah lmk if you would like that too! Okay, I talk too much, goodbye!
