Quote: And it was pretty much the greatest underwater kiss of all time.

~Percy Jackson, The Last Olympian

OK, this is it. I thought as I carried Percy's blue cupcake out the kitchen. If Percy can refuse immortality for me, I can tell him I like him, right? Right? I was sure it was for me. Before he said no he looked at me and I could swear he smiled at me. My hands were shaking as I tried to stay balanced. The Poseidon table is 10 yards away. 5 yards. I will myself to stay calm. I take a deep breath. I slide onto the bench next to him.
"Hey. Happy Birthday." I said. Percy stared at me, dumbfounded.
"What?" He asked, clearly confused.
"August 18th. Your birthday, right?" I prayed to every god I think of, hoping I hadn't gotten the date wrong. He sat there, still for a moment. Slowly, it began to dawn on him.
"Make a wish," I urged.
"Did you make this yourself?" He asked.

"Tyson helped." I admitted.
"That explains why it looks like a chocolate brick with extra blue cement." I laughed. He paused for a moment then blew at the candles. We split it, eating slowly, not talking. I stayed with him though it was against the rules, but then again I doubted there would be any rule enforcement tonight.
"You saved the world." I said.
"We saved the world." He corrected.
"And Rachel is the new Oracle, which means she won't be dating anybody." I added, my heart full of joy.
"You don't sound disappointed." He noted. "Oh, I don't care." I say nonchalantly.
"Uh-huh."
"You got something to say to me, Seaweed Brain?" I asked, hopeful he might confess first.
"You probably kick my butt."
"You know I'd kick your butt." I teased.
He took a deep breath, taking an interest in his hands. "When I was at the River Styx turning invulnerable…Nico said I had to concentrate on one thing that anchored me to the world, that made me want to stay mortal."
"Yeah?" Here it comes, I thought giddily. "Then up on Olympus, when they wanted to make me a god and stuff, I kept thinking…"
"Oh you so wanted to," I teased, trying to keep the mood light and playful though the thought horrified me.
"Well, maybe a little. But I didn't, because I thought-I didn't want things to stay the same for eternity, because things could always get better. And I was thinking . . ." He seemed to have trouble with what he was trying to say.
"Anyone in particular?" I asked, trying to encourage him. A small smile played on my lips.
"You're laughing at me." He complained.
"I am not!" I protested, struggling to keep a straight face.
"You are so not making this easy."
I put my arms around his neck, taking matters into my own hands. Percy was having too many problems. I looked into his emerald eyes. I laughed again. This was going so well yet so unplanned.
"I am never, ever going to make things easy for you, Seaweed Brain. Get used to it." I leaned in and kissed him. I felt him wrap his hands around my waist. Not much time passed before I heard,"Well, it's about time." The pavilion is flooded with eavesdroppers. I almost asked how long they've been here when I realize, I don't care. I finally got what I had been working for since I was twelve and I met Percy Jackson. The campers had lifted us up on their shoulders and were carrying is to the canoeing lake per Travis Stoll's request. I glanced over at Percy. His face is completely red. I didn't realize how hard I was laughing until I saw his face.
*splash*
Seconds later Percy created an air bubble and we picked up where we left off.

Hope you enjoyed! R&R!
