Reminiscence

Annabeth's POV

I was perfectly fine by myself. I was going on about my business, ignoring Percy as usual. He had to approach me didn't he? He had to make things alright. Don't get me wrong. I want my best friend back too, but it just hurts so much. I can't look at him without feeling a wave of guilt knowing I hurt him. I really thought we'd have a happily ever after story but well, I bet Aphrodite is laughing from up there, isn't she?

Nevertheless, I couldn't say no to him. Why?

A – I wanted us to be friends. To go back to how it was. Plain old going on quests and killing monsters.

B – Well, what kind of a bitch would destroy a guy's heart and then say "Nah, sorry. I don't want anything to do with you"?

Reluctantly, I agreed. Maybe it's time to make amends and see if we indeed can be friends, if only to an extent. I braced myself and got up and started making myself over to the Poseidon table.

Everyone was socializing and was quite excited with Jason's return. They did not greet me with the same enthusiasm, but they did not ignore me either. They acknowledged me with a nod as I nodded back. Everyone knew I had broken Percy's heart but they all understood. The heart wants what it wants right? Still, sometimes I wonder, who can I fall out of love with this man? With this stupid, dumb, idiot of a seaweed brain? I still ask myself what went wrong. But I can't seem to find answers.

I talked for a while with Katie and Leo to an extent but soon turned my focus on Percy. He seemed to be especially close with Piper, but she was joyfully talking with Jason. I mean, obviously, she's meeting with her lover after a long time. But she also seemed extra cozy with Percy. Maybe, after what I did to him, he found a friend in her to talk to.

I don't take my eyes off them, but I don't make it obvious that I'm watching them either. The more I watch them, the more I feel something is definitely off. Piper seems to be talking with Jason but she was facing Percy most of the time. He was making weird noises and trying to be as normal, but he was failing miserably. It was a surprise that no one had noticed his behaviour. Maybe they're just too dumb to see it, or maybe I'm paranoid and obsessing over Percy for no reason.

I tried to ignore them and focus on something else, but my curiosity got the better of me. I've always had the need to know. So, I acted like I've dropped something, and hoped no one would notice me. I bent down, and to my utter shock, Piper was getting him off! My mind turned blank. What on earth was happening? Holy shit, Jason is.. Jason is right there! What is wrong with them? Piper wouldn't do this to Jason. Hell, Percy wouldn't do this to Jason. How long has it been going on? There she was giving handjob to my Percy. Wait! Why did I just think of him as mine? I'm with Luke I shouldn't feel jealous. But then, I started thinking logically. Piper has been hinting towards me that things aren't as great as they seemed to be with Jason. I looked up at them and they looked genuinely happy. Hell, I haven't seen Percy so happy in a long time. I started to think if I would do the same thing again if I was in a similar position. I looked at them again, this time imagining it was me who was pleasuring Percy. I imagined that it was me making him groan and grunt. Sure, we'd been past this when we were together, but this was exciting in a whole different way. I began imagining his soft member in my hand, throbbing every time I pressed it a little too hard. I thought of his soft dick between my lips, me humming and making him moan. All these thoughts were making me very moist between my legs. Heat was emanating from my body and every noise from him across the table was turning me on like crazy. Oh gods, look what I did to myself. I needed release, and I thought to get up and go to my cabin.

On second thoughts, I looked around. Everyone was busy talking among themselves. I mean, if they didn't notice Piper and Percy, they won't notice me right?

I slowly inserted my hand inside my shorts and began rubbing the edge of my clitoris. Ahh dear gods that felt good. I imagined Percy right under the table in between my legs. I slipped a finger inside and began rubbing a little hard. I secretly wished it has him who was fingering me. He would then spread my legs apart, and dive between my thighs. He would look up at me with those green eyes full of lust and I'd pull his head my thighs as he would start licking me. I began to finger myself faster while imagining all this. I slightly grabbed my breasts and pinched my nipples. I had to bite my lips to stifle a moan, as I imagined Percy playing with my boobs while eating me out. I looked over to him for real, and just for a second he looked back and our eyes met. He looked like a deer in headlights, probably thinking I'm onto him but hey, I had my own problems. Staring at him while fantasising about him was such a turn on. Percy evaded my eyes as he worried about controlling his grunts and groans, but I didn't take my eyes off him. I felt myself reaching the climax, as I noticed Percy had his head in his hands. So, he was close to finishing too. I sped up, the idea of us finishing at the same time, driving me crazy. I now had 2 fingers inside me, while my thumb was rubbing the clitoris. My other hand was cupping my boobs. The thought of Percy pleasuring me in front of everyone without anyone knowing was so exciting. Damn it, Perce! With one last thrust of my fingers, I drove myself over the edge. I came hard and felt a little bit of fluid run down between my thighs. I sighed, and looked over to see Percy catching his breath. Piper was biting her lips and smiling slyly. She turned back to Jason and began conversing with him. Percy just abruptly got up and excused himself as he left his table and began walking gods know where. I guess it was too much for him to handle. In a split second I made a decision. Fantasising about him made me remember about us from before, and I wanted to just speak with him normally for once. So I thought "Fuck it!" and I got up to follow him.

Percy's POV

I was just walking around thinking about the recent developments with Piper, and what it meant, when I noticed I had reached a creek in the forest. The same one that was nearby when I won my first 'Capture the Flag'. This is where I was claimed by Poseidon.

I sat down nearby on a log and began introspecting. I can't do this anymore with Piper. It's destroying me with guilt. I'd probably get so guilty that I'll confess everything to Jason. I'd destroy my friendship with Jason and Piper, I'd destroy their relationship ( if it isn't already destroyed ) and I'd destroy my life all over again. But at the same time I'm not sure I could hold myself back against Piper. Gods, I loved that girl and I loved her body. I don't know if I can ever love her like I loved Annabeth, but well, maybe time can tell. Aarrghh, why do I have to deal this dilemma? Piper seemed extremely relaxed with the whole thing.

While I was deep in these thoughts, I managed to miss the crunching of leaves that signalled the arrival of somebody. One moment I'm deep in my thoughts and the next I feel a tap on my shoulder and I'm staring at the grey eyes that I'm all too familiar with.

"Hey, Percy. What's happening? You called me to sort out our differences, but then you practically ran out of there?"

"I just needed some time to think some stuff out." I replied solemnly.

"So, you and Piper huh?"

I looked up sharply. What the hell? "How..?"

"I saw."

She saw. She told like that's the most normal thing in the world. She saw. Me. Getting my rocks off. By Piper. Right beside Jason, and this woman acts like it's the most natural thing that can happen. "Right. You saw. Before you start judging, I know I'm a bad person and I was a bad fr…"

"Shh. I'm the last person eligible to judge you Percy, and even if I was, I'd say you're anything but a bad person. Is it the right thing to do? I can't tell you that. But does it make the both of you happy? If it does, then you deserve it. You finally get the happiness you deserve so stop judging yourself."

"Right. I guess you're right."

"Besides, it was kinda hot."

Wait, WHAT! She didn't just say what I think she did, did she? She didn't allow me to reply to that which was a good thing, since I don't know what would have popped out of my mouth.

"Since when?" she asked silently. I could feel a tiny tinge of regret in her voice.

"Yesterday."

"So you've…"

"Yes."

"Where?"

Damn, what is with all these questions? I'm starting to feel nervous. I simply replied "The beach"

"Whoa, Perce. That's crazy for the first time with a person."

"Yeah, I know but she just came to ask if I was alright and then…"

"Percy! I don't want the details damnit! You… we never have done it so publicly. It was almost always in your cabin."

"What? You wanted daring? I thought.."

"You thought what Percy? Just because I was happy in the bed, it means I didn't want to be bolder?"

"Well…yeah?" I said goofily.

"Seaweed brain" she muttered softly.

I don't know what happened to me when I heard those words, but it felt like all those years ago when everything was good. "Damn it's been so long since I've listened to those words, Wise Girl."

"Yeah it has, hasn't it?"

"Although I can remember a particular instance when…"

"Yeah, how can I forget that Percy? It was most definitely the craziest night of my life."

"We had met after a long time and we had booked a ticket to watch a movie. Hell, I don't even remember the name of the movie."

"I had deliberately asked you to pick an unpopular movie. The movie theatre was almost empty except for the two of us."

"Yeah, I was puzzled as to why you wanted to watch it. Guess there's a reason you call me Seaweed Brain yeah?"

She smiled. A genuine smile I've seen on her face in a long time. "Soon the movie got boring, but your dumb ass wouldn't take the hint. So I placed a hand on your thigh, and that's when you finally took the hint and put your hand on my ass."

"Hey, don't remind me of that wonderful ass of yours." She turned around just enough it tease me, without seeming obvious. "But yeah, you do have an amazing butt. I remember I couldn't stop playing with it. Your hand, though, was creeping closer to my cock. You started rubbing in through my pants."

"Yeah, and then I unzipped your trousers took that cock of yours out while your hand had gone under my skirt and you were groping my bare ass."
"I still remember the cold feeling of your hand around my cock. That was enough to get me hard. Then you plunged you head into my cock and started bobbing your head up and down. Gods, you knew how to give a head."

"Oh Perce, you're turning me on now. Please go on. Remind me of that wonderful day."

"I then made my way to your pussy, and rubbed you through your panties. I parted the panties and inserted a finger in. It slipped in perfectly, you were already dripping wet."

"Oh Percy I'm dripping wet now."

"You do notice that you've already got me hard by saying those words right?"

"I don't care. The next thing I remember was sitting on your lap facing you. We kissed fiercely, like never before. You lifted my short dress up and slid my panties down. I inserted myself into you and I rode you. Fuck, Perce, that was the best fuck of my life."

"I was all over you. My mouth was in your mouth, your breasts, my hands roaming across your bare back, the thrill of getting caught. We had to bite each other's lips in order to keep the moans down."

"When it was finally over, I remember telling to myself to never let this guy go. What happened to us Perce? Why didn't you fight for me?"

"Hey, let's not ruin this by talking about the past yeah? That's a talk for another time."

"Yeah, I think I need another release."

"Wait, what?" Another?

"Never mind that." She said as she approached me. We were now just inches apart from each other. I reached up and slid my hand down her cheeks and just backed away.

"I'm sorry Annabeth. I just.. I just went over this in my head. I'm already betraying a friend by being with Piper. I can't let you break Luke's trust also. I can't do that to you, Annabeth. Do you understand?"

She sighed. "Yes, Percy. Always the righteous one. You couldn't let go for once with me. The one time you did let go, it was with someone else." She told sadly.

"I really want to Annabeth, I do. But what about Luke?"

"Luke…well. He's.. I'm not able to reach him. He left for a quest long ago. But sometime back I lost all kinds of connection with him. The Iris Message won't get through. Something is seriously wrong, I feel it Percy."

Well, fuck.
