Suits:

Jason's POV:

A day after the girls went dress shopping and Percy got Annabeth's engagement ring we had to suffer a torture that was definitely worse than eating a stapler- far less tasty and much more scarring.

Anyway- before I have an intense flashback- we're going suit getting or whatever with Aphrodite. Yup. Any teenage boys worst nightmare pretty much. I suppose on this occasion I'll ignore the horror because it's for Percy and Annabeth's wedding which is an event anyone will sacrifice a day of discomfort for. They deserve the best day of their lives with little or no problems which is what we- as their friends- are here to give them. That's why we have to force Percy into buying a suit in advance and not rocking up in swim shorts (not that Annabeth or anyone actually would mind- as a fellow dude I can see he is ripped).

Right- back to the moment- we had been whisked away to Aphrodite's prison- I mean temple- and we were consumed by the pink magic of girl. Gods I should stop insulting her she's my girlfriend's mum.

Snapping me out of my thoughts thankfully she squealed when she saw Percy and the rest of us but mostly Percy with his fresh godly glow. Grover, Tyson, Frank and I were watching Percy and Aphrodite's exchange which was mind boggling to say the least.

She squealed and hugged him and he hugged back as if they were old friends. I suppose they were now but we'd never seen anyone have such a normal, friendly exchange with the love goddess. Grover sniggered a bit but apart from that we dismissed it. Probably something to do with the fact everyone loves Percy.

"So then my gorgeous guys what can we do for you?"

Dammit she's asking us and not telling us like I assumed she would. We all stumbled over our words which she giggled at as Apollo and Hermes walked in flashing their perfection into every corner as usual.

"No need to applaud but we are here to save you from this witch's lair." Hermes began.

"Oh yes quite indeed, you need suits to succeed and, prove your maidens wrong." Terrible haiku number 1.

"We have an eye for this task and with our godly charm you'll be free from her spell."

"Begin with the groom, black! Don't stay from tradition, cuz it will be great." Terrible Haiku number 2.

"Then the rest of them, his merry men they will do, grey in grey in grey." Terrible Haiku number 3. "Did you like that- we've been working on it all morning?"

"It was beautiful boys- I'll go get the suits." Aphrodite rushed off and Hermes and Apollo burst out laughing.

"She's such a weirdo." Apollo stuttered amongst his shrieks of laughter.

"On a serious note though Perce congrats man. We're here to help you make decisions you can't. Just view us as your older brothers. 'K man?"

Percy grinned and fist bumped them both. I hadn't realised how much the gods liked him and how close he actually was to them.

Aphrodite came back with a pile or suits and other stuff that goes with them like ties and shirts I don't really know.

Percy tried his first of course which was a jet black suit with a white shirt and a sea green tie. It was perfect. There was even a Hawaiian print sticking out the pocket which was probably added just for him.

"Dude that's awesome- Annabeth's gonna be speechless." He laughed at that comment.

"Not quite as speechless as Percy will be when he sees her." Aphrodite added for once giving a compliment to another female that didn't seem malicious in way shape or form. She really does care about them.

"I just want to see her and get married- I can't wait much longer. All this being apart is destroying me." Percy said creating a sombre mood.

"I know man but once this is over you'll be happy together for literally forever." Grover told him hugging him like the old friend he was.

"Yeah come on guys it's your turn." Hermes exclaimed changing the entire atmosphere again. Great- our turn to be dressed up like dolls- hot ones though.

Our suits were grey resembling Annabeth's eyes- hey! Don't judge me I can look she's my friend too- with the same shade of tie as Percy's but with just a white pocket. It felt great and much more comfortable than armour.

Aphrodite slapped Grover's arm when he began munching on his sleeve and Tyson and Frank looked pretty out of place in theirs. I can only imagine how ridiculous I looked too.

Aphrodite squeal after she had sorted Grover's hunger out and Hermes and Apollo stood their nodding.

"Perfect boys, go get changed and you can go back to camp," The four of us went to get changed grinning at the prospect of our escape.

We returned to see Percy lounging on one of Aphrodite's sofas chatting away with Hermes and Apollo. I was discomforting to see his ease but then I immediately dismissed the feelings realising he has suffered too much to be denied of laughter and friendship.

Percy's PoV

I was joking around with Hermes and Apollo about Aphrodite and how excited and emotional she was getting about our wedding when the others had to return back to camp. I'm pretty sure when he came back from getting changed Jason assessed our exchange and dismissed it because who knows why. I was just joking around so he probably realised I wasn't doing anything too bad. He's always thinking, always over thinking which is his downfall. Me, I get by with as little thought as possible about what I do and it usually works. Usually.

The guys got sent out of Aphrodite's temple as Annabeth, dad and Athena walked in. Annabeth looked unsurprising annoyed whereas neither dad nor Athena could contain their excitement.

"Sorry I couldn't come earlier to see your suit Perce but I trust these 2 and kept Aphrodite from doing anything too bad to you."

I laughed slightly as Aphrodite looked offended by Dad's remark but soon let it drop moving the topic swiftly onto us as usual.

I hadn't seen Annabeth all day and I barely saw anything of her yesterday- we both got back pretty late and were exhausted- so when we didn't get a moment of privacy I was a bit lost. I made my way to her side soon enough though so I could hold her hand and have at least a moment of connection.

Wise Girl put her head on my shoulders as Aphrodite ushered Apollo and Hermes away and pulled some seat around a table of cake that didn't look any way near as beautiful as Annabeth- except maybe the blue one.

"Considering this is supposed to be our wedding I haven't seen much of you." She said managing to put my jumbled thoughts into words as always.

"I know Wise Girl, I love you. I can't wait until this is all over and everything will go back to normal." I laugh at myself using the word 'normal' which can't even be applied to our situation anymore.

"Perce, we're immortal and we have to take over our childhood home from one of our key father figures now. Things are never going to be normal again."

"I know Wise Girl," I continued our conversation in hushed tones away from our parents, "But as long as we're together things will be normal, okay?"

"Okay Kelp Head, I love you so much and a ring and a piece of paper can never express how much."

"Ditto," I grinned meaning everything. She laughed and flashed he beautiful smile that lit up her whole face.

"You're such a dork, come on. Let us eat cake."

Thanks so much for reading and all the lovely reviews that have been left recently! I love you all.
