▸Little Did You Know - Alex & Sierra

I finished changing into clean clothes in the bathroom and laid out my bathing suit next to Stiles' on the tub's edge. Going towards the bath tub, I extended my hand over the two bathing suits. I willed the water out of the clothing and into the tub. Watching the water go down the drain, I picked up the two dry bathing suits and walked out of the bathroom.

"Stiles, yours is dry now." I said, holding up his swim trunks. Stiles was standing near the bed, with his duffel bag opened. He looked up from packing his bag.

"Thanks babe." Stiles smiled, walking towards me and pecking my lips. I grinned and handed him his bathing suit. "You almost finished packing?"

"Almost, just gotta get everything out of the bathroom and into my bag." I told him, going to my duffel bag. Putting the swim suit in, I walked back into the bathroom. Collecting all of my toiletries, I scanned the bathroom one more time before walking out.

"You know what I just realized?" Stiles asked, zipping up his bag.

"What?" I responded. I finished packing everything into my bag and sat on the edge of the bed.

"I was certain that hotels always gave their customers two set of keys. We only got one." Stiles informed me.

"Now that you mention that...you're right. Maybe we lost it?" I furrowed my eyebrows.

"I don't lose things, Nev."

"You sure about that?" I perked an eyebrow, a smile tugging at my lips. Stiles never lost anything. In fact, he was always the one who managed to find anything I may have lost or forgotten.

"Yes. I'm certain." Stiles rolled his eyes, picking up his luggage. "You should know, since I'm always the one helping you when you lose something."

"So?" I pouted, crossing my arms. "At least I'm not worse than Percy."

"That...that is very true." Stiles chuckled out, walking over to me. He dropped his bag near his feet. Kneeling, he placed a finger under my chin and made me look at him. "Now, let's drop that pout and show me your beautiful smile."

I rolled my lips together and held back an eye roll. He narrowed his eyes at me before a smirk spread across his lips. Stiles' fingers went straight for my sides and tickled me. I shrieked out a laugh, trying to squirm away from him. He laughed in delight, wrapping his arms around me and jumping onto the bed beside me. I smiled, turning my body to face him.

"Now there's that beautiful smile." Stiles bit back a grin and pressed his lips against mine.

"You're so dorky." I giggled out, lacing my fingers with Stiles'. "But I love it and I love you."

"I love you too." Stiles muttered out, using his free hand to caress my cheek. I sighed in consent, leaning into him with my eyes closed.

"You guys have everything ready and packed?" Lydia asked, barging into our hotel room with her luggage. Stiles and I jumped, sitting up.

"Gods! How did you get-" Lydia waved an extra key card with a smug grin. "Never mind then."

"So that's where the extra key card went. You never gave it to us, did you?" Stiles narrowed his eyes at the strawberry blonde.

"Of course not." Lydia scoffed, readjusted her purse on her shoulder. "Knowing how you two sleep, I have to make sure I have a way in or else you guys won't wake up and do it. Anyways, I'm assuming you guys already have everything packed?"

"Yeah, we do." I nodded, swinging my legs onto the carpeted floor.

"Great! Let's go. We should be able to arrive at Stiles' place before supper time." Lydia chirped, already walking out the door. We got our things and existed the room.

Stiles handed our room key to Lydia while she handed me her luggage. She went to go check out and turn in our keys while Stiles and I went to the van. Stiles unlocked the van, opening the trunk door. The both of us started to load our things in when Stiles' phone went off. Furrowing his eyebrows, he fished his phone out of his pocket to see who it was.

"What up Perce?" Stiles answered, holding the phone in between his shoulder and cheek as he put his duffel bag into the car. I perked up at the mention of my brother's name and turned towards my boyfriend. He looked at me and did a small nod. "Yeah, she's right here. You want to talk to her? Alright man, see you later today then."

Stiles handed me the phone and grabbed the luggage I was currently holding. He put it into the trunk before closing the door. The both of us started to walk to the front the van and got in.

"Hey Percy. What's up?" I answered to the phone with a grin. Stiles got in after me and closed the door behind as while I buckled up.

"Well, you see, uh..." Percy trailed off.

"What's wrong?" I asked, sensing his hesitation. Stiles frowned and looked at me.

"Uh, I'm gonna have some company with me when I come visit you guys." Percy responded.

"Okay? Who?"

"Annabeth and Magnus." Percy explained. I went to ask more questions but he cut me off. "I'll explain it more in detail when I see you okay? It's kinda confusing to say over the phone."

"Alright...and this Magnus fellow? That's Annabeth's cousin, right? He's alive?" I licked my lips. Lydia startled me as she opened the driver's door and got in. She immediately turned the car on and drove out of the parking lot.

"Uh...I'll let him answer that one. Anyways! By what time should you guys be at Stiles' apartment?" Percy questioned.

"Lydia?" I turned to face her. "Do you know about what time we will arrive? Percy wants to know."

"We should be there around four or four thirty." Lydia answered. "Does he need the address?"

"Do you need the address?" I asked Percy.

"Nah I'm fine, Mrs. O'Leary will be shadow traveling."

"Percy are you using a phone? I thought demigods weren't able to use phones?" I heard an unfamiliar male question Percy.

"We aren't." Annabeth told him.

"Well...I'll let you and Annabeth answer that question. Tell her I say hi and I will see you guys soon." I told my brother.

"Alright, see you soon, Nev. Be careful."

"You too, bro." With that, I hung up and gave the phone back to Stiles.

"What did he say?" Stiles shoved his phone back into his pocket.

"Annabeth and her cousin is gonna be with him. Percy said he will explain everything once we meet up." I shrugged.

"Wasn't Annabeth searching for her cousin?" Lydia pursed her lips together.

"Yeah, he's been missing for years. I guess Annabeth found him." I replied.

"Is he okay?" Stiles looked at me.

"I guess. Percy said he would leave that for Magnus to answer." I licked my lips before looking at Stiles goofily.

"Oh God...what?" Stiles held back a groan.

"Okay, I know this is very random-"

"You are always random Nevah."

"Okay, that's my ADHD, okay? Anyways! Stiles, you know how you are going to be a FBI agent and stuff?"

"Yeah..." Stiles trailed off, looking at me suspiciously.

"Well, whenever you have to go undercover or something you should totally have a made up name." I smiled.

"Such as?"

"Well since your real name is Mieczysław, and you won't be able to use Stiles...why not go by Mitch or something." I offered, biting my lip.

"I like it. I like it a lot. I will totally use it Nev. Thank you." Stiles grinned, pointing at me before pecking my lips. I beamed and laced my fingers with his, placing my head against his shoulder. Lydia smiled at our interaction.

"Well, I love the name Mitch. It's a lot better than mischief." We all laughed at Lydia's comment.

Lydia pulled up into the apartment complex that most of the people in the pre-FBI are staying in. Stiles got down to fill out all of the forms and get his keys. Lydia and I were outside of the van waiting for everyone. I sighed, leaning against the van with my arms crossed. How long does it take to fill out a form?

WOOF!

"They're here." I grinned at the familiar sound of Mrs. O'Leary. Lydia jumped at the sound, looking at me with wide eyes. I pushed myself off the van and looked around for the big hellhound. A black blur past by us, the wind making my hair fly around. Chuckling, I pushed my hair aside. Percy, Annabeth, and Magnus got off of Mrs. O'Leary. The hellhound immediately walked over to me with a wagging tail. "Hey girl! Did ya miss me?"

"Where's Stiles?" Percy asked as I scratched the hellhound's ear. I turned to him and pointed at the main office.

"He's doing paperwork." I walked over to my brother and gave him a hug. "How's everyone back home?"

"Mom already had Estelle." Percy gave me a small smile.

"What? I missed it?" I frowned. Percy sadly nodded and squeezed my shoulder. "When?"

"She was just born today, right after I called you. I tried calling Stiles' phone but I guess you guys were in a place with bad reception." Percy explained.

"I guess I will see her real soon then." I tried to smile.

"Well, where's my hug? Am I less important than your brother?" Annabeth teased. I rolled my eyes and laughed, hugging the daughter of Athena. Lydia hugged Percy and Annabeth as well. "Nevah, Lydia, this is my cousin Magnus. Magnus, this is Nevah. She is a demigod and is Percy's sister."

"So who's your godly parent? Greek right?" Magnus asked, stuffing his hands into his jeans.

"Yeah, and Poseidon." I smiled. "You're a demigod too or?"

"Yeah, uh, Norse actually." Magnus nodded. "Frey is my dad."

"Oh, well...okay." I stumbled out.

"Okay, I got my keys and finally finished signing all of those papers. Which were a pain the ass, by the way-oh." Stiles stopped next to me, blinking at my brother and friends. He grinned and went to give a bro hug to Percy. "Percy my man! Did you guys just get here?"

"Yeah, man. You ready to be in the FBI?" Percy slapped Stiles' back before letting go of the bro hug.

"You bet. I'm stoked." Stiles grinned as he hugged Annabeth. "How are you guys doing?"

"Great." Annabeth smiled. "By the way, this is my cousin Magnus. Magnus, this is Stiles."

"Stiles? What kind of name is that?" Magnus looked at my boyfriend weirdly.

"It's a nickname." The rest of us answered in unison before laughing.

"Oh...okay." Magnus nodded.

"Hey, by the way, are you okay?" Stiles asked Magnus. "Percy didn't want to explain it or something."

"Oh, yeah. I'm totally fine. Just dead." Magnus nodded.

"Come again?" Stiles blinked rapidly.

"I went to his funeral. He's dead." Annabeth added.

"I guess that explains the weird vibe I'm getting off of you." Lydia pursed her lips together as she studied Magnus.

"He's dead...but still here?" I pointed to Magnus. "Is he a ghost or?"

"Not a ghost." Magnus shook his head.

"It's really hard to explain and understand. I still actually don't understand it." Percy said.

"Anyways, what was it that you wanted to tell me?" I looked at Percy. He bit his lip anxiously and looked at his girlfriend and Magnus with an all too familiar facial expression. "Oh."

"Yeah," Percy scratched the back of his neck. "They need my help with something."

"So you are now going to be involved in Norse problems?" I perked an eyebrow. "So much for trying to not get involved."

"You know as much as I try to stay away, I'm always dragged in." Percy sighed.

"What about New Rome? How are you guys going to attend when it starts soon?" I looked at Annabeth and Percy. They sighed and looked at each other.

"We don't know yet." Percy licked his lips.

"We'll figure it out." Annabeth sent me a smile. "You excited for senior year?"

"Uh, no." I rolled my eyes and crossed my arms. "I am so not ready for the SATs."

"You'll be fine." Stiles wrapped and arm around my shoulder. "You got Lydia, Annabeth, and I to help you."

"Yeah, but you guys are going to be busy with your own stuff." I frowned, looking up at him.

"I'll never be too busy for you." Stiles told me, looking down at me.

"Yeah, what Stiles said. You're too annoying to leave alone." Percy teased me, ruffling my hair.

"That's gold coming from you." I shot back, swatting his hand away. Percy scoffed and crossed his arms. Magnus laughed and high fived me. Percy looked at me in shock.

"No, no. No. Don't high five him! He hates blue!" Percy wagged his finger at Magnus.

"You hate blue?!" I gaped at Magnus.

"Oh God." Lydia mumble, looking up at the sky.

"Yeah, it's an ugly color." Magnus shrugged. I narrowed my eyes at him.

"Not a smart thing to say." Stiles winced out.

"I take my high five back. How dare you hate blue? Blue is pretty and it's the color of the ocean." I crossed my arms.

"Yeah!" Percy nodded in agreement.

"So? At least my sword isn't a pen." Magnus smugly said. I stifled a giggle. Percy gasped and squinted his eyes at Magnus.

"Not cool bro. Not cool."

"Okay, you three." Annabeth chuckled out, patting Percy's bicep. "We better start going and let them settle into Stiles' apartment."

"Alright." Percy slowly nodded, still eyeing Magnus down. He turned to face us. "Good luck with the FBI man, and keep us posted. If you need any help, you know we're here for ya."

"Thanks, bro." Stiles smiled, as the two did their bro hug. We went around saying our goodbyes and hugs.

"Take care of yourself, Nev. I'll see you soon, okay?" Percy told me as we hugged.

"I will, and you too. You guys stay in one piece, you hear me?" I tightened my hold on my older brother before letting go. "Take care."

Percy gave me a smile before the three of them mounted on top of Mrs. O'Leary. The hellhound walked over to me and licked me as a goodbye. I laughed, wiping the drool off of my face.

"Bye guys, it was cool meeting you. Blue is still ugly!" Magnus sent us a wave. Percy muttered something in Ancient Greek before reaching behind him and smacking Magnus in the head.

"Percy!" Annabeth immediately scolded the two of them.

"Hey!" Magnus clutched his head as he frowned. "At least Jack is better than Riptide!"

"You take that back!" Percy shot back.

"Guys!" Annabeth tried to stop them as they went on about blue and their swords. Stiles, Lydia, and I watched them as the disappeared into the shadows.

And I am back lovelies! I will try my best to update once every other week (busy schedule for my classes) and I will alternating between Torrent and Dither so keep an eye out for updates from both. And After I finish Dither (or this one IDK yet) I will start writing chapters for Bright my newer Stuart Twombly  fanfic
