Hey guys sorry been so long been hella busy recently anyways enjoy chapter 7

Percy P.O.V

It had been three weeks since Artemis and I had told her hunters since the prophecy, during that time during the nights and weekends we tried to make time to see each other in order to build trust and a true relationship between the two of us, so far it was working for both me and her. I knew that I had developed feelings for Artemis much like the ones I had for Annabeth except these feelings were stronger, we had never gone on an official date before so I figured that this up coming weekend I would take her to a dinner date and maybe if she wanted a movie after. I smiled at the thought slightly chuckling, I then sighed before I grabbed my things, yes I may be a god but I still was a teenager and had school, the good thing however is that since becoming a god not a single incident had happened, as well as the fact was that I had since become better at everything ten fold what was supposed to be my freshman year ended up being my junior year of high school, so it was coming to a closing I was top of class in everything especially my Greek history and language classes. I was on track to graduate before the next winter solstice at the rate I'm currently going. As I went to Goode High I walked through the halls to my home room class, nobody messed with me anymore and no monster had attacked since I became a god, partly due to I believe my godly aura they were scared of me now more than ever.

Several hours later once school got out I walked away and flashed to Olympus I still had yet to do two things as a god, name my sacred creature and obtain my godly symbol of power. For my symbol of power I knew what it was going to be but I had to have Hephaestus improve and make it to the level of a true Olympian god, I chose my weapon of choice Riptide I chose this because now I never needed to worry about me never having it on me as well as it was the only weapon I felt that was perfect for me.

"Hello cousin." I said as I strolled into Hephaestus's workshop, he grunted and looked up "Ah Perseus how may I help you today?" I laughed "Straight to the point eh? Well I was wondering would you and the cyclopi be able to turn my current sword Riptide into my godly symbol of power and my godly weapon." He started to scratch his beard before grabbing the sword out of my hand which I had pulled out so he would be able to observe it, "Hmmm let's see here enchanted, the blade that ended Kronos, and weapon balanced for you, yes we should be able to do it, might take a while until it's finished I suggest you find a new sword to use." I nodded in thanks before I left his workshop, as I walked to the palace in construction which was my soon to be palace I looked at it and started to wonder what the best animal would be for me, as I thought about it the perfect idea came to me, with my animal in mind I walked to the throne room where I knew I'd find Zeus.

"Hello Lord Zeus uncle I have decided on my sacred animal." He looked at me "Well it's about time you did a god should always have one, and I'm assuming your weapon has also been chosen." I nodded "Yes Lord Zeus, anyways the animal I chose to be my sacred animal is the Pegasus, my personal steed shall be Blackjack the faithful Pegasus has helped me in many situations." He nodded "Of course." He then showed me away but before I left I took a look at my throne and saw it now had embedded into the marble symbols of the pegasi and riptide.

That night me and Artemis has agreed to meet up as normal, I smiled as I awaited her on Montauk beach it wasn't to much longer that I heard her coming from the woods.

"Late Artemis?" I laughed "No this is the exact time that we agreed upon." she said seriously "Yes I know it is I was just joking with you Arty." She rolled her eyes at this as she sat down next to me.

I looked around nervously I had never asked a girl on a date before, how exactly do I approach it? Should I just ask straight out? Lead up to it? So many questions.

"Something on your mind Percy?" She asked sincerely "Hmm oh no sorry about that." I replied "Don't lie to me Percy I know that you are so out with it." I sighed well guess my secrets out. "Yeah you're right." I turned to look at her in the eyes "Look Artemis I was just wondering..." she looked at me back. "Well?" She replied "Well do you want to go on a date with me this weekend? Saturday night." I hurried and replied to her, I saw her stifle a chuckle as she replied. "Of course I'll go on a date with you. All you had to do was ask."

I smiled brightly as she said this to me. She had really said she would, well I had already had plans and a reservation but was prepared to cancel at a moments notice. I was excited and I pulled her into a tight hug as she reciprocated it.

"What time? So I know when to get ready." She asked as she looked up to me. "Well I was thinking an eight thirty dinner then a ten o'clock movie if you want to watch a movie." She nodded "Of course I do so I'll see you at eight pm two nights from now yes?" I nodded "Correct I guess I'll pick you up from the hunters camp unless you plan on staying at camp." She shook her head. "No my hunt must continue we cannot take leisure breaks as often as we should, however my hunt is happy, anyways with that my hunt is currently in the as mortals call it "Medicine Bow National Forest" so you'll have to flash there and back" I nodded before laying back. She decided to lay on my chest so I started to play with her auburn hair. I yawned and soon we fell asleep on the sand dunes.

I awoke the next morning early as I always did and Artemis had already gone. I quickly flashed into a shower cleaned myself then flashed into new clothes while heading to school. The next two days had gone by fast however, Friday was a breeze and Saturday also went by fast, after dinner at camp I showered for the second time that day, as I started to get ready for my date tonight, we were going to a fancy Greek restaurant in the city so I threw on slacks and a button up shirt with a tie, once I was done it was seven fifty nine so I flashed to the location Artemis had told me about, at the time I appeared behind the hunters, as I then saw Artemis, waiting for me, she smiled when she saw me and it made my heart skip a beat.

She was wearing a simple but elegant spaghetti strap dress that was silver with tints of teal on the lining of the dress, much like my teal outfit had silver on it, she wore no makeup but mascara and lipstick, she didn't even need it however and her pearly white smile gave me butterflies as she smiled at me.

I walked up to her as I then looked her up and down once more. "You look as beautiful as ever Artemis." She smiled "And you look very handsome Percy you clean up quite nicely." I laughed and she laughed, with that I took her arm in mine as we walked away from the hunters as we flashed to New York Central Park, the restaurant was only a five minute walk so I decided to cherish the time as we walked together.

Once we got to the restaurant I had us seated with my reservation I had gotten us. "Oh my Percy this is very nice you didn't have to go all out like this, you really didn't." I chuckle to myself "Of course I didn't have to but I wanted to, I wanted to do it for you." I smiled at her as I then ordered a bottle of wine, I had willed the mist to make it seem as though I was of age, now that I was a god however it was much easier for me to do as well as mortal wine wouldn't effect me or Artemis due to our godly blood. She smiled as she poured the glasses as I ordered our food.

"So tell me Percy what are your honest feelings for me." She asked as she sipped her wine, "Well truth be told Arty, I I think no I don't think I know this but I'm in love with you, everything about you has made me fall for you, the way you are harsh yet gentle and caring and I can't put it in words." I replied as I also took a sip of wine, she nodded "Yes Percy if we're being honest here I would have to say the same for you I think I've fallen in love with you as well maybe not to the extent in which most would expect." I nod as she replied "That's okay though, it doesn't matter how long it takes Artemis I will never leave you I will wait as long as it takes." I took her hand into mine as I said the words. She then rubbed my hand in hers almost feeling everything about it.

A few hours later we stood after watching our movie I took her arm in mine once again as we then flashed to Montauk beach.

Artemis P.O.V

I stared into Percy's enchanting eyes as he held me by the waist on the sand dunes, tonight had been an amazing night, he was an amazing person and to be honest I truly was falling in love with him, slowly but it's true and what he told me today even farther proved his loyalty to me, as I had my arms around his neck looking into his eyes as our date night was nearing an end he and I both felt a sudden urge at least I did and I assume he felt it as well, as I looked into his eyes I slowly started to lean my head in and upwards towards his as he leaned down, half way we met each other and for the first time we shared a kiss, a kiss of love it didn't last long four of five seconds max but to me it felt like an eternity, everything in those moments had melted away all my fears insecurities everything the only thing in that moment was me and him. I pulled away and blushed as he then flashed us to my camp before kissing my forehead and leaving, it was small but I knew I was in love.
