If there is one thing that I, Perseus Jackson know, it is that Artemis is my soulmate.

Well, maybe not in the generic Red String of Fate way, or any of those weird soulmate AUs in fanfiction or whatever.

I know it is to be, because I am in love with her, and she was in love with me.

But Percy, how do you know that she's in love with you?

That's a good question. It might be in the way that her eyes light up when she sees me, or how she lets down the frigid exterior that only the Huntresses have seen while she's in my presence.

It might be how, when we haven't seen each other for for days or weeks or months on end, she always rushes towards me and gives me a great big hug rivaled only by my mother's.

It might be that when were alone, her voice gets a deep huskiness that I can't resist. Our kisses deepening into moans and breathlessness, forcing us to gasp for air.

It might be in gentle caresses, in her firm yet kind massages that always make me less tense.

If I were to guess, it would be in the way her mouth parts and her laugh sings like a choir when I tell a stupid joke. In the way that she responds to my sarcasm with some of her own.

It's in the sparkle in her eyes, that bemused half-grin she gives me when I'm doing something silly. The way she holds me when I need to cry, and is my greatest source of comfort.

I'm rambling, but if you were to ask me about how I knew I was in love with her, I would have to write a ten book series about how awesome she was, with a couple of side spin offs including her.

But in all honesty, I know I love her because I accepted immortality for her.

Forever is a long, long time. But I don't mind spending it by her side.

Sorry about how short this one is guys. I had some inspiration to write, but this is all i could get out of it. I think it's short, and sweet. Let me know what you think in the form of reviews, and I'll see you in the new year.

I'm also starting a that will give me some side money for writing and art. If you enjoy reading my stories, donating will give me a little less time at work and a little more time to write. My is Russell Art, Writing, and Comics. Thank you for the time, and Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Yule, and Winter Solstice.
