Just One?

By: xXxDaughteroftheKingxXx

AN: So, in planning a new story with my lovely Fanfiction friends, we(ahem, CALLIE) came up with a new couple...

Bom Bom BOM: INTRODUCING COPPER!

The couple is Connor Stoll and Piper McLean! :) Don't ask where the extra 'P' came from, 'cause I don't know! :)

Disclaimer: I don't own PJO/HoO.


"Aw, come on, Pipes! Just one?"

"No."

"Please?"

"No."

"Pretty please with a cherry on top?"

"No."

"One on the cheek?"

Piper turned to face Connor Stoll, brown hair flying in the wind. "For, the last time, Connor," she said firmly, face flushed, "no!"

Connor pouted. "Bu-but, all I wanted was a kiss."

"Alright then, why don't you go ask Drew for one?"

Connor made a disgusted face. "Ew, no. She's hot and all, but blech, she's so girly."

"Miranda?"

"Too weird."

"Lou Ellen?"

"Looks too weird."

"Annabeth?"

"Would be killed by two people if I tried that..."

"Clarisse?"

"Are you kidding me?"

Piper sighed, brushing a piece of her hair away from her face. "I've given you a whole list of girls to kiss, Connor," she said. "You've turned them all down. Sorry, but it doesn't seem like you'll be getting a kiss anytime soon."

"Or, you could just give me a kiss, and we could stop this conversation."

"Or, I could charmspeak you, and make you leave me alone."

"Yeah, but..."

Piper sighed, looking the son of Hermes dead in the eye. "Why do you want a kiss from me? Give me a decent answer, and I might actually give you one."

Connor flushed, rubbing his neck sheepishly. "Well, um... er... you're, uh, pretty, and um... nice..."

"Not a good answer!" Piper said in a taunting sing-song voice, turning away from him, a smirk on her face.

The son of Hermes grabbed her shoulder, his face red as a tomato. He took a deep, nervous breath, and said, "Because I... like you."

"Go on..."

"You're just... really pretty and nice, like I said," Connor stammered, "and you're a-a really good friend... I just guess I—"

He was cut off by Piper leaning up and putting her lips on his in quick movement. Connor's blue eyes widened, and for a second, he was too stunned to do anything, let alone kiss back. But slowly, as the kiss continued, he relaxed and began to kiss the daughter of Aphrodite back.

Finally, after a few minutes, the two pulled away from each other, breathing heavily. Piper smiled at Connor, who was beat red, slightly.

"That good enough for you?" Silently, he nodded, too embarrassed to say anything.

A wide smile spread to her cheeks. "Good," Piper said with a nod. She turned and began to walk away, but not before calling over her shoulder, "Merry Christmas, Stoll!"

As Piper walked away, her hips swaying, Connor grinned to himself. In a triumphant voice, he whispered, "She so wants me."


AN: Oh, Connor.
