[u][b][color=darkgray]Blake[/color] and [color=crimson]Cole[/color][/b][/u] Blake had officially found something about Cole she hadn't missed while they were seperated. He was a snuggler. [color=darkgray]"Cole... my chest is being crushed under the weight of your arm. Remove it and you wont have to lose it."[/color] she grumbled as she turned and tried to relieve the weight that was smashing her already unimpressive chest. She tried and failed to slip free of his grip as she was starting to get even sweatier from his body heat. Sighing, she would look at him and raise her brow. Instead of moving like she had demanded, Cole had snuggled closer to her. He was grinning. [color=crimson]"Aren't you Ares children supposed to be all strong and tough? If you don't want me in this position then move me yourself, because I'm comfortable. Unless you're the one who's gotten soft over the time I've been gone."[/color] Cole gave her a kiss on the cheek before going back to snuggling. [color=darkgray]"Tough, yes I suppose. Though I am no more stronger than the average person."[/color] she said trying to muscle him off of her again. She managed to turn and face him, which really didn't help much other than she could now get a push at his chest. [color=darkgray]"As much as I would like to stay here with you, I need to get some things done. Now if you would kindly..."[/color] she pushed at his chest hard. [color=darkgray]"Release me."[/color] Cole raised an eyebrow before sighing. [color=crimson]"Well, if you say so,"[/color] spoke Cole before he suddenly released her. He let out a laugh once he heard a thud due to Blake falling off the bed. She had winced when her bottom hit the floor painfully, and for a moment she just sat there, stunned by what happened. Then her face turned red and she shot to her feet. Grabbing the pillow closest to her, she began hitting Cole repeatedly while mumbling curses at him. Holding his arms up to block his face, Cole continued laughing at the event. Suddenly, he reached up and grabbed the pillow then pulled, pulling her down onto the bed. [color=crimson]"Hey, maybe you should do something productive with all this anger,"[/color] Cole spoke in a teasing manner. [color=darkgray]"You would enjoy that far too much."[/color] she said. Though she attempted to stay mad at him, she couldn't. Soon that goofy smile of his made her smile as well. Leaning in and kissing him once, she would say, [color=darkgray]"We really do need to get up. Well... I do, but I suppose you can come along with me if you like."[/color] before scooting away from him and retreiving her clothes from the floor. [color=crimson]"Where are you even going?"[/color] Cole asked as he sat up stretching. He would stand and retrieve his clothes from the floor as well. [color=crimson]"I might as well get up anyways. Should visit Chubbs soon,"[/color] spoke Cole before getting dressed. Nodding to him as Blake began buttoning the top part of her shirt, she would leave a few unbuttoned just above her belly button before slipping on her dark camo pants. [color=darkgray]"I'm sure he will be quite pleased to see you. I, on the other hand, want to get some training done. I need to make sure I am in top shape once things start up around here. I've decided to help out with teaching some of the newer campers basic combat skills. Maybe that will help them stay occupied instead of spreading rumors and such."[/color] [color=crimson]"I guess I'll join you then. I haven't trained in months. I figure I've fallen behind a few people. Would be nice to get back to it."[/color] Cole gave a snap, watching as a bit of hellfire sparked from his fingertips. His eyes gazed over Blake, watching as she dressed. Knealing down to tie her boots, Blake would hesitate a little before saying next what was on her mind. [color=darkgray]"I've been having trouble sleeping."[/color] Cole's face expressed concern. [color=crimson]"Yeah? What's up? You know why?"[/color] Cole asked as he took a few steps closer. Standing, Blake turned to him. [color=darkgray]"My theory is that my powers have gotten stronger. I seem to have too much energy at night and I can't sleep. I would during the day but there is always something to do."[/color] She crossed her arms and her brows pushed closer together as she started to get upset. [color=darkgray]"I also have reason to believe it is starting to affect how well I perform in combat. Which... as you know, upsets me greatly. I've yet to find a solution for this."[/color] Cole rubbed the beck of his neck. [color=crimson]"I've always found your powers a bit weird. But maybe it's just a new development that you need to learn how to control. You always figure it out,"[/color] Cole gave a soft smile before continuing, [color=crimson]"And how about we test out that combat part with a spar? You've always been able to beat me, so if someone who hasn't trained in three months is able to gain the upper hand all of a sudden then we'll know for sure."[/color] Cole wasn't exactly sure how effective that would be considering he knew how she fought, but it was certainly worth a test. [color=darkgray]"Alright. I suppose it's worth a shot."[/color] she would say, nodding and stepping over to hug him. [color=darkgray]"Let us be off. And... dont forget your shoes."[/color] she said, pointing to his bare feet. Turning on her heels, she would make her way out of the Hades cabin and stand next to the door in wait for him. To a few that passed by, likely fellow Hades children, Blake would glare at them, telling them to keep moving with just her gaze. After making sure he was fully dressed, Cole would make his way outside the cabin. He wondered why his half-siblings hadn't come back yet. Shrugging the thought off, Cole would begin walking towards the training field alongside Blake. Secretly, the two would take the longest route there, as Blake had wanted to avoid more than a few stares by going straight through the camp. It was odd how everyone knew the two were together, and yet they still looked at the pair with wide eyes whenever they were seen holding hands together. The notorious camp playboy dating the scariest girl in camp was really not the weirdest thing to be seen around here.Though as a result of the others not keeping their eyes on the ground when the two passed, they opted to just go through the quieter parts where few people wandered around. [@Silen Syanka] As they got about halfway there, the two passed a camper, a boy who was sitting in the shade and reading a book. An owl was perched on his shoulder, casually stuffing her head under her wing and doing whatever it is owls do. Blake eyed the boy though continued walking a few steps before coming to a stop. Turning, she would walk back towards him, get about as close as she could manage without trampling over him, and crossed her arms. [color=darkgray]"You there. I believe I know you."[/color] she said, looking down at him with her eueal fierce expression. If her memory served and she recognized the blonde mop of hair on his head, that was one of the smartest kids in camp. Arguably the smartest. Argueable because Blake doubted he knew anything extensive on battle strategy, combat protocol, weapons management, team leading, proper ways to lift weights as to not injure yourself, and... well she could go on about the things she assumed he didn't know. But that would take all day. Instead she placed her hands on her hips and spoke to him again. [color=darkgray]"Not to be rude... I'm sure your book is very interesting, but there are things to be done in preparation for the first day back to camp. I suggest you make yourself useful and do something to help out."[/color] She turned and started to walk away as she had little else to say to him. Looking over her shoulder, she would add, [color=darkgray]"In the least stand and walk around. If I pass by here again and see you on youre arse still, i'll find something for you to do that you may not like."[/color] Walking back over to Cole, she would take his hand in hers and they continued their way towards the training grounds. [color=crimson]"Well that was certainly something,"[/color] Cole mumbled as he walked alongside Blake. Once they reached the training field, Cole would look around at scattered weapons. People could atleast have the decency to pick up after themselves. [color=crimson]"I assume you aren't going traditional,"[/color] Cole spoke as he stuck his hand out and absorbed shadows from a few trees. He then dissipated the shadows around them. Blake took some steps away from Cole, her eyes travelled over the field even though she had pretty much memorized every dip in the earth. [color=darkgray]"Seeing as you've been gone so long, my first mind says I should take it easy on you."[/color] Turning to face him, she would crack her knuckles. [color=darkgray]"Though my second mind thinks you and I would both enjoy it more if I left a few bruises on you."[/color]
