Pretemis- Percy/Artemis-Vows
She was a huntress. A virgin huntress, She refused to love. She refused to admit to love. Refused.
Who could blame her for being smitten with Perseus, the headstrong hero?
Who could blame her for loving those deep green emerald orbs of his? Or those curls that fell into his face that she wanted so much to bury her face in?
Who could blame her for being head over heels for the demigod that was the reincarnation of the original Orion?
Sure, Artemis still had a soft spot for Orion, her hunter, but she felt more for Percy.
Not that she would tell anyone that, especially not Apollo. Definitely not him. It would be like Orion all over again. Then she would have to hang Percy in the stars again. And Olympus forbid, if it was to happen, she would hang him in between Zoe and Orion, her beloveds.
But, she had vows. Vows she couldn't go back on. Vows she wished she never took. Vows she wish she could take back. Vows that contained her love forever. Vows she wished weren't true.
If a goddess could cry, she would be sobbing. All because of those stupid vows.
Aporcy vs. Pretemis- Tough Pasts
Apollo, you know him. That playboy-ish type god? The one with the shiny golden blond hair? With those gleaming blue eyes?
Yeah him. He has a sad past, a sad mind, all behind the whole 'I'm so high!' personality of his.
Love was never on his side. It hated him, and that's why he had to do so much hopping with the ladies.
Remember that princess Coronis who he tried to shoot with the arrow? Did it work? Hades no.
What about Daphne? That beautiful nymph who rejected AND run from Apollo? You know? The laurel tree?
Did the name 'Hyacinthus' slip your mind? The handsome Spartan prince who was killed in a game of discus by a certain wind god, -cough Zephrus cough-.
And don't forget about the tree? You know the one with the deer? You know the Cypress tree? Er, I don't think I need to say much more, do I?
Yeah, you get the point. Apollo had a harsh love life. But it's gotten much better after he met Percy.
The lovebirds are having a grand time, until well, Artemis comes to the picture.
Now, she didn't and wasn't supposed to love.
But that rare chance that she does, it all ends badly. The twin's love lives were messed up.
Remember Orion, no, not the star constellation dummy! The hunter! One of Artemis' few lovers. The one Apollo was jealous about then sent a scorpion to reap his soul?
And that's pretty much it for Artemis' male lovers. That is until Percy came into the picture.
Who will Percy choose? Will Apollo have to turn poor Percy into a plant because of Artemis' jealousy or will Artemis have to hang him in the stars because of Apollo's jealousy? Or will Percy just ditch em' both and go for Annabeth or Luke?
Preseidon? Poseidon/Percy-
Sure, he loved Sally. And sure, he went into mourning when she died.
And sure, he loved his son. In a way no parent should.
He grieved over Sally's death, and so did his son.
His son. Well, his son was like in a state of shock, denial, craziness, and downright emotionally troubled. I didn't have to be Apollo to know that. He was like a PMSing Aphrodite girl. One minute he was happy and cheerful then another he was whining(some may call it bitching) about anything and everything. "Why does the sea taste and smell like salt? What next dad? A pepper lake?"
And Poseidon, in a very sick way loved his son like this.
He had no one else to cry, complain, and everything else to.
He relied on this bond to his son above anything else.
He was the only person with him. And for that, it meant it brought him and Percy much closer.
Much closer indeed.
Percy didn't care one bit about his father's company. He was happy, in like a high-like happy. HERMESS! But really. Poseidon and Percy were happy, well as happy as a person can get when their wife/mom passes away.
But hey, you know the saying, 'when one door closes, another opens' right?
Amen!
Lercy- Resistance
"He's mine!" Screamed the daughter of Athena to Luke. They were fighting on who's with Percy. Annabeth couldn't get it through her thickhead that Percy did NOT like her. And Luke because he's a son of Hermes and naturally loved arguments. That, and he's possessive. But shhh! Only Percy knows!
While they were shooting fireballs at each other and screaming curses, there was Percy, relaxing under the cool shade of the big tree. Chiron trotted up to the demigod, pounded his hoof to get his attention and told him to stop that mumbo jumbo. Percy replied with a sullen look and a "when I die, you ain't getting none of my money, old man".
And so, Percy trudged over to the arena, looked up to the sun, shook his fists at the air and looked over at the two demigods.
Luke had Annabeth in a headlock while she screamed curses that made Luke intellectually challenged.
Percy gawked at them. And, sadly he was noticed by Luke and Annabeth. "Percy!" They shouted in unison, only to glare at each other.
"Break it up you two!" yelled Percy, getting really annoyed.
"Percy! Tell that whore-" Luke started. "Oh! I'm the Whore! Says the one who did the entire Aphrodite cabin in less than a week!" Screamed Annabeth.
Percy froze at her words, turning rigidly to his supposedly boyfriend. "Luke..." And Luke cringed.
"It was before you came to camp, okay?" and Percy accepted it.
"Annabeth, I don't like/love you. I'm gay. I'm with Luke, kay'? And Luke, you know I love you and only you, so why the hades were you arguing? That's it. You're not getting anything for a week."
Luke's eyes widened. Then, he dropped to his knees and begged Percy not to do this, ignoring the flabbergasted Annabeth trying to find the scientific reason why Percy didn't love her.
"Please! Don't do this! Percy!" wailed Luke.
"No Luke. It's your punishment for being less mature than me." Percy snapped at him, trying to pry him off his leg.
"Percy! You know I ruv yu!" Luke said, making his eyes watery and big, then jutting out his lip. The Hermes puppy-dog face.
Unfortunately, Percy wasn't fazed.
"Too bad."
"You know I can't resist me."
Percy was unmoved, staring at Luke.
"Fine! I can't resist you! Happy?" Luke whined
"Yes." And with a quick move, Luke's hips were flush against Percy's.
Hercy- Hershey's ( I couldn't resist! Hercy/Hershey sounds alike, get it? Eh, eh?)
It was another Valentine's day. Percy sighed as saw all the Aphrodite girls getting fat with all the chocolate they've been getting. They'd had the Hephaestus cabin to make them a new store house for all the chocolate and flowers.
Then, Percy looked at his valentines. A poorly made valentine from Carolyn, from the Demeter cabin. It had a cheesy 'I hope our love sprouts and grows'. You know, since she like growing stuff, Demeter, ya get it? No? Oh, never mind.
There was also the heart-shaped lollypop that Mr.D was forced to give out at breakfast.
Then, there was a valentine card from Annabeth. But that was it.
There was a poof and in fluttered Hermes, flying in from Percy's window.
Noticing Percy's frown, Hermes got into his face, asking questions, going 200 km a minute.
"Calm down Hermes!" said Percy, looking out the window Hermes broke.
He sighed again and picked up the shards that fell down.
He threw it into his trash can and looked at Hermes expectantly.
"Yes?"
"Happy Valentine's day, Percy"
Said Demigod forced a smiled and looked down, muttering incoherent things.
"What? Sorry can you repeat that?" asked Hermes, who didn't catch what Percy said.
"Am I ugly?" asked Percy, bashfully.
Hermes sat down and stared at Percy, not believing the crown prince of the garden of Hermes' lovers asking him that.
Percy blushed, his cheeks and ears, turning a salmon color of pink. "Forget I asked" he mumbled.
"No,no. You're not ugly. But why'd you ask me?" questioned Hermes, still looking at Percy.
"Well...- Percy coughed- Uh, I only got two valentines, and I wanted to know why... Like, last year I got a bunch more..." Percy trailed off, looking up through his lashes as he stared at the God. Who suddenly understood.
"Oh. Here." Hermes reached into his jogging short's pocket and pulled out a Hershey's bar. Like the big one.
He gave it to Percy. Percy smiled at Hermes gratefully.
He unwrapped the chocolate carefully, and took it out of the wrapper. It looked like he was doing surgery. "Why'd you do that so carefully?" "Cause, I like the look of perfect chocolate."
Then, the demigod took a bite, eating a square of chocolate. He held it with his front teeth and motioned for Hermes to take a bite. Which Hermes happily did so. Behind his back were Percy's valentines he stole out of jealousy.
This was one of those shorter ones, sorry! Just wanted to get this one up. Thanks for reading :)
