The Son of Styx - Chapter Nine

Aaron POV
I lay on the lumpy, rather painful couch, my jacket hung next to me on the edge and my bare chest felt cold, was it too much to buy a heating system, i thought as i twisted the golden locket which hung from my neck, a black cross on the casing which looked like it had been drawn on.

13 years....I had been a servant to that snake Hades for 13 years...now i understood why my friends were gone, they hadn't grown up and left...they were long dead.

I stared at my hands, they felt ruff and sore from gripping a sword, riding a horse and fist fighting with cyclopses (Long, rather painful story)

These were the hands of someone who didn't belong in this time....the hands of a outcast, lucky to even see this sad future for Demigods.

Suddenly i heard the sound of someone coughing, i peered out of the sheets stared up from the couch and there was Sara, wide awaked and staring at the ceiling "Sara?" She jumped when i said her name and stared at me, i could tell she would scowl but she looked too tired too "What do you want?" she spat at me "Why aren't you asleep? We got a long day tommorow" "Yeah...so what i'm gonna get killed anyway" I jumped from the couch and stared at her "Don't talk like that, we are all gonna get out of this...together!" She stared at me for a moment then at the bed sheets, like they were the most interesting thing in the room.

"Listen Aaron...about last night...that.....that kiss" I blushed and i knew she had noticed "I understand if you think it was a mistake, i agree" She then looked up at me and shook her head "No...its just....i've never...." She then stared at my chest and i remembered i was bare chested, i sat down on the rim of the bed and Sara sat with me, she wore some green shorts and a plain white t-shirt.

"I'm sorry...it was my fault..." I said "No...its just that...sometimes your just too irrestitable sometimes..." I chuckled a bit "Me? Irresistable?" "Your like a puzzle, everything about you is a mystery....your dark clothes and appearance yet your kind personality...everything about you is out of place...except your eyes..." She stared at me, her stormy grey eyes were intelligent and kind.

"Sara"

"Yeah Aaron?"

"Stay still for a minute" I put my hand to her cheek and leaned forward "Just for a minute..."

Some part of me told me not to but my body moved on instinct, I kissed her.

Sara POV
Oh my god! Aaron was kissing me again!

His hand went up my back and onto my neck, bringing me closer to him. My arms went around his neck, pulling him closer. Then he stopped, pulled away. He was breathing hard, I saw something feral in his eyes. By the stiffness of his body, I knew he thought that I would pull away.

I didn't, last time i had ran away from this... not this time....

I teased his lips with mine, motioning for him to continue. He did, but this time instead of the gentle kiss from earlier, he kissed with a greater force, with urgency, as if he only had a few seconds with me. With the passion of his kiss, I couldn't support myself anymore. I fell flat on the bed.

Hovering above me, supported by his elbows and knees, we stared at each other, his face was only a thy metres from mine, our noses were pratically touching.

He leaned downwards and continued to kiss me with greater force. His kiss was like fire.

Suddenly Dustin stirred, Aaron and me froze as his eyes half opened but then closed and his snores continued.

We stared at each other a little longer, i felt the warmth of his bare chest against mine, he leaned again and was about to kiss me when he but his head on the pillow and was still for a moment then jumped up and stood up "I have more strength then i thought...." He said, I sat on my knees and stared at him, i was breathing hard and i was aware that the air felt cold "Di Immortales! its freezing!" I said, rubbing my bare forearm "Yeah..." He was about to walk back to his couch when i stopped him "Are you kidding me, you'll catch your death if you sleep on that thing" "Well what am i supposed to do then?"

I blushed for a moment the motioned for him to the bed, his face went bright red "You...you want me to sleep in the bed with you?"

I hesitated for a moment then moved aside to make room for him "Yes i do"

He lifted the covers and laid beside me, first we just looked at each other, face to face, Aaron then said "Well...goodnight" and he shut his eyes.

I spent a thy moments staring at him, that perfect jawline, that pale skin like a perfect sheet of snow and that lush black/white hair.

I moved on instinct, i leaned forward and placed my head on his chest, i then saw his arm go around me and he stroked my neck "Sweet Dreams Goth Girl"

"Sweet Dreams River boy"
