Arrival

The two Praetors, Percy and Reyna; or as they would be called by the entire camp as the hottest item ever not only solidified their bond as lovers but also won Hazel and Frank quite a bit of denarii. Unbeknownst to the two demigods is that there actions were being watched, but we'll get to that later.

As the need for air became too great, Percy and Reyna had to unhappily remove their lips from each other; both of their faces flushed to the fullest due to desire and embarrassment. Why embarrassment? It is because both of them are never good with dealing with their feelings and what they just did was completely un-Praetorish, of course both of them were not complaining after the knee melting make-out session that they just had.

"Reyna I-" Percy began but he was cut short by Reyna.

"Don't you dare say that this was a mistake." The daughter of Bellona said to her 'boyfriend', if she could call him that now.

"I…" he swallowed thickly for a while, trying to calm his nerves down, sure he can face an entire army of deceased army dudes, but dealing with his 'soon-to-be-girlfriend' was a whole different fight altogether. "No, it's not that Reyna, I was just thinking uh… why does this have to be hard?" he asked himself to which Reyna only raised her eyebrow, her hand twitching to get to her dagger if this was some kind of sick twisted joke.

"Go on then Percy." She tried to coax him into spitting it out.

"Would you be my-" Percy was interrupted yet again, but this time it was the sound of the signal which could only mean two things; one is that camp was being attacked once more or two, that the Greek ship has finally arrived.

Percy and Reyna both jumped at the sound and hurriedly left the principia, not without Percy saying a promise to the black-haired beauty to continue what they have started. Reyna looked at him to know his full meaning and he gave her a wink and his lopsided grin; it was safe to say that Reyna's brain was going to be out of commission for a while. They both ran to the head of the cohorts assembled where they saw that the Greek warship was starting to land; unconsciously Reyna reached for the hand of Percy and he held on to it, giving her the reassurance that she didn't know that she needed. Still, at the back of her mind she couldn't shake the feeling that Percy isn't hers just quite yet.

Onboard the Greek vessel stood the son of Jupiter, Jason Grace with his girlfriend Piper Mclean; while it took most of Camp Half-blood to get them together finally or rather make Jason realize his true feelings, they were now nearly inseparable. Standing next to them is Annabeth Chase, the daughter of Athena, the Goddess of Wisdom; who by the way is still so very much in love with Percy Jackson, and finally, stood Leo Valdez, the son of Hephaestus and head builder of the boat he christened the Argo II.

"Jason." Piper called to him. "What exactly is Reyna to you." She asked, her voice laced with worry and a hint of jealousy.

"She was more like a sister than anything else." The blonde-headed boy said to her looking into her eyes and Piper believed him. While Jason's answer seemed to placate any worries that Piper may have had, it only served to heighten the feeling of worry bubbling inside Annabeth; she doesn't know how, but she feels that her boyfriend is being cared for by another girl, and the daughter of Athena is seldom wrong.

"Please Percy, please remember me." She whispered to herself.

As the ship landed on the Field of Mars, Percy gazed onto the boat, anticipating the arrival of his old friends, his old family. Reyna on the other hand was looking at the boat with caution, not only because she was wary of what may happen when the two sides don't get along with each other but also because she was scared that someone from Percy's past may come back for him, effectively shutting her out of the boy she has fallen so deeply for. She squeezed his hand harder when a gangplank was lowered and out came the missing son of Jupiter hand in hand with a girl who had ever changing eye color. She smiled at Jason lightly and he nodded back, his eyes grew when he saw where her hand was and where his former cape was put on; it only had to be the son of Poseidon that everyone at Camp Half-blood was talking about, the legendary Percy Jackson. 'This is not going to end well for Annabeth.' He thought to himself as he walked towards the Roman line, stopping just a few feet from the two Praetors. It was Percy's turn to have his eyes get larger as he saw a familiar head of blonde hair and pair of gray steely eyes.

Percy gasped lightly as he saw her once again, his best friend, his wise-girl. Reyna of course was not oblivious to the reaction of her co-Praetor and narrowed her eyes towards the blonde beauty; it was as if she was sending a mental message of 'Back off, you lost him, his mine now' to the Greek demigod. Annabeth, being the daughter of the Goddess of Wisdom immediately saw Percy wearing a purple cape, which she found out from Jason symbolized leadership; 'His face seemed different, it lost some of his mirth only to be replace with maturity.' she observed. Her focus was solely on his face and thus, she failed to notice that his hand was joined to that of the girl beside him also wearing the same purple cape.

"Annabeth." Percy said softly but that was enough to trigger his best friend to run at him and to apply a bone crushing hug. Needless to say that Percy had to let go of Reyna's hand to support Annabeth and this action caused her to frown and then glare openly at the sight.

"Percy, I missed you so much." Annabeth said as she nuzzled his chest and cried softly. Percy didn't know what to do at this point and looked towards Reyna for assistance. He only saw a hurt look on his co-Praetor's face before she turned her face into a stoic look. His eyes tried to reach hers but she won't meet his sea-green orbs; she feared that if she looked into his eyes she will see rejection.

"Annabeth, we need to talk." Percy said to the blonde in his arms and she looked at him before pressing her lips to his. This shocked the entire Roman contingent and only made Reyna to see Red.

Reyna snapped out of her trance of indifference when she saw her Percy getting kissed by this graecus. She is a daughter of Bellona and a proud one at that; she didn't care for people who tried to pry what belonged to her. In a move that could have sparked a battle right then and there she grabbed at Percy's arm effectively ending the kiss only to replace Annabeth's lips on his with hers. The Greeks for their part where bug eyed at the spectacle before them and for Annabeth, this only confirmed her fears. At the background one could hear the distinct chink of coins being passed around as the ones who betted on the two getting together asked for the others to pay up.

"Percy! What the Hades?" Annabeth finally yelled causing the two Praetors to separate their liplock.

"I- I'm sorry Annabeth but, Reyna I…" he couldn't finish his sentence.

"I see." Annabeth replied; she got a stern look on her face and continued. "Whatever trick she may have put on you, I will do everything I can to get you back, I swear Percy you will be back to where you belong." She finished as she glared at Reyna who shot her a glare back. Jason, who was forgotten at this point was watching with relief that he wasn't being grilled right now only held on to Piper tighter.

Reyna lead Percy by the arm towards the principia where she could talk with him, and when they arrived she turned on him with an icy glare.

"Who is she Percy? I thought you said that things were only platonic between you two." She said looking dead straight in his eyes.

"I thought so too, but I guess things weren't like that." He replied. Reyna saw a darker shade of red at this point and made to march out of the principia intent on skewering that Greek girl; she may have been first but Percy was hers now. Before she can even get the door unlocked though, Percy grabbed her arm and spun her around, then planted his lips onto hers.

"It doesn't matter Reyna, I love you." He said after they broke the kiss.

"I love you too." She replied to him with an affectionate tone.

"Would you be my girlfriend?" he asked her in an almost scared way. Honestly he was scared, scared that she may reject him.

"Yes Percy, Oh My Gods a plethora times yes." She exclaimed happily as she launched herself to him. In the back of Percy's mind thought there was a pair of gray eyes.
