Very short one shot I thought about with Connor Stoll (my favourite child of Hermes). I made it kind of romantic because I don't think we see that side of him that much … well, at all actually. OCxOC I don't own anything but Ekko (which, btw, was the name of a nymph who died and all you can hear now is her voice- so, an echo.), Rick Riordan does.

"Connor, how could you lie to me?" I asked him calmly, looking him dead in the eyes. His heart was at war with his brain; I could tell.

"I … im sorry." He said, trying to put his hand on my arm. I backed up a step.

"Oh I know you're sorry. But I want to know why you cheated in the first place." I accused.

"I didn't cheat!" he lied again.

"You just lied to me again."

"But I didn't!"

"Then why were you at a romantic dinner at a really expensive restaurant with that girl from Aphrodite?"

"We were practicing." I raised an eyebrow; what the hell was he getting himself into now?

"For …?" he looked around at the crowd around us at the canoe lake; Percy and Annabeth were standing hand in hand near us in case anything happened, Thalia and Nico were down by the water, arguing about something and looking our way every once in a while, and Travis and Katie were standing close by, completely shocked. He sighed,

"I was going to do this at the restaurant, but apparently I have to do it now."

"What? Do what Connor?" I asked, highly confused.

"This." He said, pulling out a small gold velvet box and getting down on one knee. He opened the gold box and inside was a plain silver ring with a Greek symbol in gold; it was the symbol of Aphrodite; a dove.

"What … what's going on?" I asked, completely shocked. The entire camp gasped; the Aphrodite cabin was grinning like there was no tomorrow.

"Ekko Karter, im not going to be cheesy and say that ive loved you from the first time I kissed you, but it's definitely close. I know that you are only 17, and I don't want you to be tied down, but if it's alright, id like to ask you to marry Me." he said in a total Connor way. I was speechless, the camp cheered, and I still had no idea what to say. I loved Connor, right? I have ever since he smiled at me my first day of camp five years back, it took me a while to get him, but he's been mine ever since. This is probably why I drew to a conclusion that he was cheating on me after three years; because he might've gotten bored with me. But … marriage? Am I ready for this? Well, technically, we'd have to wait until I turn eighteen in five months, because he is already nineteen. But still. Am I ready? I heard a whisper in the back of my mind; it sounded like a very familiar love goddess.

If you love him, don't keep him waiting. This is the last thing that will tie you to him completely, well, in mortal terms. If you say no, he won't stay around for long; Ill give it a few days.

She whispered. I made up my mind. I looked Connor directly in the eye.

"Stand up." His eyebrows scrunched together in a cute way; he stood. He looked at me for a long time. I put a hand on his cheek, and he looked me directly in the eyes before smiling; he knew what was coming. I leaned in and placed my lips to his; they were sweet, and tasted like starbursts. Probably some of his secret stash. The silence before the kiss had been deafening; but now the entire camp was roaring.

"I take that as a yes." He murmured against my lips. We were both smiling as he slid the ring on my finger; it was a perfect fit.

"Now comes the hard part …Time to tell the parents." I whispered; laughing slightly.

"That could be painful with you being a daughter of Apollo." He snickered.

"Oh, yes, it is very dangerous." I replied back with all seriousness.

"I love you." He whispered before closing his lips to mine once again. It was a short, but meaningful kiss, meant to symbolize the rest of our lives began today.

"I love you too, Connor Stoll."
