Because all wonderful incidents happen in a bar
"What can I get you, miss?" the bartender asked 21 year old Piper. He was cute, but boys did not interest Piper McLean after the last one named Jason Grace. The daughter of love found it hard to fall in love,How ironic. She had found him making out with Reyna in the woods at Camp Halfblood. Unable to control her tears, she ran from the damned remembered agreeing to her dad when he asked her to accompany him to London.
"Uh...I'd like a beer."she said. "Yes miss." the bartender said and smiled flirtatiously. Piper sighed, she hadn't lost her damn sexy looks. Instead, after the breakup, they had improved, as if Aphrodite was sorry for crushing her heart into millions of pieces. It was more like running a road roller over it when some blue-eyed blondies asked her out.
She was seated on a bar stool,when a guy entered. Usually Piper wasn't the one to check a guy out. But boy,was he hot, he had dark brown hair and chocolate eyes which made her insides melt. His expression kind of dimmed the mood though, he looked like he was carrying all the pains of the world.
Breakup,definitely.Her Aphrodite part screamed. It wasn't his looks that drew her to him,he had a strange aura around him,when he came and sat besides her, it grew stronger. She was sure he wasn't a human.
"Can I help you?" he asked in an irritated tone, she realized that she was staring and looked away, her cheeks getting hotter each second."I'm sorry." "Whatever." he shot back. Attitude much? She used Annabeth's technique of studying his behavior and finding out exactly what he was. Suddenly realization struck her, the aura was godly."You're a god!" That got his attention, he swirled on his stool, dragged it closer to her, and asked, "Are you a magician?"Excuse me? Is he mad? What the Hades is he talking about? Magician? He noticed her face and sighed."I guess not,then...a Halfblood, and judging by your looks..."He trailed off, taking in her beautiful features.
Then he made his biggest mistake, he looked into her eyes.
They changed color, from blue to green to brown. Piper frowned, and then waved a hand in front of him. He blinked twice, and mumbled "Sorry"Piper smirked and said, "Whatever" in a tone too familiar. The boy rolled his eyes, he was starting to regret his decision of taking a break from the underworld, he then remembered, it wasn't his decision to make,Osiris had insisted that he took a break into the mortal world. After all, it was Sadie who left him for the Amulet making magician."So... a daughter of Aphrodite?"he asked. It was going to be a long night,"Yeah...but who are you?I mean, I'm sorry if I have wounded your glass like pride. But I haven't heard of any god, even a minor one, who spends his day drowning his sorrows with a Ribena." He shot her a glare, then smirked and answered "I am Anubis, the egyptian god of death and funerals." "Uh...egyptian...I didn't know...". His smirk only grew wider."Of course you didn't, you weren't worthy enough to know." "That doesn't even make sense!"she nearly rolled his eyes and muttered "Sounds just like Sadie."
"Who?"
"No one."
"Fine."
"Seriously, no one."
"Fine."
"..."
"..."
"Say something!"Anubis huffed.
Piper smirked,"Fine."
Anubis groaned and took a moment to recollect himself, if it continued like that he would eagerly get admitted into Taweret's hospital.
He gave her another try,"What's your name?"
"Piper McLean. My chance, why the Hades did you ask if I was a magician?"
"Long story..."
"We have much time."
"No...maybe some other time."
"So there would be some other time."
"Maybe...but now I need to return to my boss.."
"Okayyyy...then ". Piper had a cute little frown over her face, she pouted,she was oblivious to the fact that she was drunk and was flirting. He laughed, she was annoying, but fun.
"I don't know you well daughter of Aphrodite, but I'd like to."
Piper smiled a genuine smile. And Anubis noticed it .
Soooooooo...This was crazy. I had this pairing in mind and I went , why not?
