AN/Hey guys

So, my cousin helped me on this chapter!

Shoutout to her, she's like my sister!

She's awesome!and so many other things, so perfect.

Annabeth POV

Annabeth awoke to the heavenly smell of caffinee, the Gods drink. Wait...no, that was nectar. Still, coffee rivaled anything the Gods could drink!

She could hear faint words above her, but it was just probably Percy and Reyna.

She missed Calypso, but Piper was great too. Streching then grasping for her coffe cup, she yawned.

Her grey knitted sweater caught on the kitchen counter and she swore. She had almost spilled her coffee! That was a sin according to Annabeth. Since she was a very, very busy woman in NY, she needed her caffeine like she needed air. Or Percy.

Wait...what?! Ananbeth must be really sleepy. Where had that thought come from!? She blushed, as she remembered the previous day.

Going up the stairs, she had absentmindly bumped open the bathroom door.

(AN/ There will be flirting in here. Nothing bad, just flirting.)

Percy, who was talking a shower, had not seen Annabeth and stepped out. Annabeth had stepped straight into him in her sleepy state.

Not her finest moment. Blushing scalarlet now, she remembered his reaction.

He had initionally wrapped his arms around her, filling her with warmth, a sense of love and belonging she hadn't felt since a child. That's how Percy made her feel, a child. Then, probably realizing what was going on, and who he could be hugging, he stepped back, and Ananbeth had never opened her eyes, thank the Gods.

Percy had spoken first.

"So, is this a one time thing, or are we gonna keep on hugging from now on?"

Annabeths reply had scared herself, it was so unlike her.

"It doesn't have to be a one time thing."

Annabeth couldn't see his reaction, but it was probably baffled.

"Pretty big statement, " Percy had joked, before flinging cold water on her face.

"Oh, it is SO on!" Annabeth had flinched at the cold water, then opened her eyes, Percy was dressed, and she grabbed some water, and they had another splash water.

It was hilarious and the shower incident was just a small memory in that day.

Flashing back to the present, she took a sip of coffee and went to do some work.

Percy POV

(AN/Nothing, absolutely nothing is going on with Percy and Reyna. Nothing, I repeat. That ship went down, so fast it never got its sails up. Nothing will ever break up Percabeth.)

Sitting on a bed while Annabeth was down stairs with food and coffee, listening to Reyna, Percy wished he could switch places.

Tuning back into Reyna's talking, he payed attention.

"So. You like my cousin." Reyna spoke first, saying it as a statement, not a question.

Percy gulped. "Yes?"

Reyna smiled slightly. "What are you going to do about it?"

"I don't know, Reyna."

"Fine." Reyna's voice softened. "But, Perseus Jackson, Annabeth is like my sister. She's my family. Hurt her, and I promise you will not escape this without scars on your body and heart."

Percy was frightened by the look in her eyes. She looked lost in the past, without something to bring her back.

She continued. "If I see one tear shed becuase of you, you are going down, Jackson. Do I make myself clear?"

Percy gulped. "Yes. Reyna," He began, wondering if this was smart. "are you okay?"

"What do you mean? I'm fine."

Percy decided not to probe. She could handle it, he hoped.

Going downstairs, he saw cookies, and dove for them.

Reyna POV

(AN/ Nothing is going on with Nico and Reyna. Yeah, they have a intense relationship, but I am a firm shipper of Soangelo. Hate all you want, not gonna change. Ps, I'm bringing in someone for Reyna, and you can choose the name maybe. Comment a name you like!)

Reyna thought she could do this. She could, she told herself. The bitter truth? She couldn't. She needed something. Her head was pounding.

She stumbled around, her eyes blurred becuase of her tears.

Losing someone else to Love? She couldn't anymore.

She just couldn't. First, her father. Then, Piper. Calypso. Now, her sisters were all gone. Taken, by cupid.

Grasping her dresser, she rested her head on the top, letting the tears fall.

A hand rested on her back, rubbing circles on her back.

Her reflexes and dignity demanded that that she turn around.

She saw black, which could only mean one thing. Nico.

"Hey. You okay?"

"No. Nico. I lost you all." Reyna voiced her opinions out loud.

"Annabeth" She croaked. She needed to get this out, before she broke. "Percy. You. Will. Calypso. Leo. Piper." She croaked the last one, gasping on the painful memories. "Jason."

"Love." Reyna buried her head in his shoulder and allowed him to lead her onto her bed.

"Reyna. You haven't lost us. I found Will. Yeah, sure. They found each other. They all did. And you are too."

"Where does that leave me, Nico? Lonley, watching you all? No thanks." Reyna spat the words out, choking on them. She could only be strong for so long.

"No. You found us. You found love. We all love you, becuase you all a part of us."

Reyna frowned. What could he possibly mean?

"What?"

"You never noticed?" Nico sounded familiar, same. "Your bravery. Piper. Your loyalty, Percy. Your wits, Annabeth. Your strength, Me. Your preserverance, Leo. Your hope, Will." Nico voiced lifted as he said the name. He put more emphasis on the next words.

"Your patience, Calypso. Your sense of duty, Jason. Your determination, Hazel. Your way of overcoming all odds, Frank."

"We are all a part of you. Every single part. You gave us our best attributes, our best things."

Reyna composed herself. She was being crazy. "Nico, thank you."

"Truly." Reyna tried to put as much emphasis on her words, to make them count.

"Now, lets go find your boyfriend before he finds the cookies with Percy." Reyna tried for a joke with Nico.

"You're strong Reyna. It scares me, Reyna. How you can handle this all, without something." Nico spoke softly.

"Yeah, well, don't expect for me to give away my secrets."

Nico stood up, chuckling. He bounded down the stairs, calling for Will.

Reyna could do this. She would. She had enough strength to.

She loved Percy and Annabeth together, it was adorable.

She doubted that Percy would hurt her.

She doubted.
