I know I promised to update on the 30th, but it has been a challenging couple of days in terms of mental stability and I needed some time off.
I made a special POV at the end to change things up..

This is a set of prompts that I made into a story. This is the last chapter. Eighth prompt is 'Confession'. So here:

Chapter Eight: Confession

There. I've said it. I can't keep this to myself anymore. I wanna save my own heart, but I'd rather put it on the line and get broken than lose him. I saw his reaction. Confusion, wonder, happiness, hurt? Why would he be hurt? Did my feelings for him hurt him that much?

The seconds were ticking by, turning into minutes of long and tense silence. Gods damnit Percy, just say something!

"What?"

Okay that is technically something, but seriously?

"What do you mean what?" I frowned, crossing my arms. Is this bitch serious right now. What part of 'I wasn't ready to love you yet' is strange to you, you asshole?!

"You said… you didn't love me so you stopped talking to me?"

"I stopped talking to you because I couldn't handle actually loving you."

"What the fuck is that supposed to mean?" he looked angry, but I knew it was just a mask to hide the hurt.

"I was scared, Percy! You scare me, these… feelings scare me because I know that if I accept them, I'm going to lose you, and I can't do that, okay? I can't love you then lose you! Everyone… everyone walks out on me… everyone leaves. And I didn't want you to leave. I don't want you to leave."

"So… what now?" his quiet voice made me look deep into his eyes. He scratched the back of his head like he does when he's nervous.

"What do you mean?"

"Do you… I mean, you told me you loved me. Now what? Do you… like, did you move on? Or do you… still?"

"Are you asking me if I still love you?" I felt a smile on my lips, because he was so god damn adorable.

"Kinda…?" his cheeks were pink, and it was starting to spread to the tip of his ear.

"Percy…" I placed a hand on his left arm and tugged on his opposite end "That would be correct."

"You love me?" his eyes sparkled, like I didn't remember seeing them.

"I do." And I could see it, so my hand raised to tug softly on the baby hairs on the back of his head "I love you. I have for a while, and I don't think I'll ever stop."

There was silence. Okay.

Could I have misread this entire situation? Could I have misread all the signs that badly?

Percy came at me in a fierce flash, taking my face in his hands and kissing me with a desperation that I do not remember him ever having towards me. I couldn't feel anything besides his mouth on my, his hands on me. He kissed me like a dying man and I was the source of life.

It was so powerful, so desperate, so overwhelming and dizzying that I only realized where we were when I was in his arms, legs around his waist and my back was against the cool surface of the wall. I ran my fingers through his hair, kissing him as hard as I could. I lasted too long without a taste, I was dying for some.

He pulled away too soon, although we had been making out for a while. I was trying to calm my heartbeat down, taking deep breaths and trying to ground myself with him.

But you see, Percy has this ability to take my breath away that no one seems to have. So, when I forced my eyes open, he was staring at me with so much passion, so much… love?

"I'm in love with you." He whispered, breathing hard "I've loved you for so long."

And my heartbeat sped so much, it was ready to jump out of my chest.

"Percy…" I gasped.

"Let me give you clarity, Annabeth." He cupped my face to look into my eyes "Will you let me?"

"Please."

"Be mine." He gulped when he glanced down at my lips "Be mine and I'll never let anything hurt you. I'll protect you, keep you safe. Be mine and I'll fight the world to give you everything you ever want or need."

"I couldn't care less if life drove us to the middle of a battlefield, Percy." I kissed him softly "All I want is you. Can I have that?"

"Be mine and I'll be yours. I'll love you until you don't want me anymore, and even more after that."

"You're gonna be around for a while if I have any say in it, Percy." I tightened my hold on his waist.

"Can I take you to bed?" he whispered, and I blushed. I don't know why, he had seen me naked plenty of times before, we'd had sex plenty of times before. But it felt like a first time now…

"Yes." I nodded and he smiled, pressing a chaste kiss to my lips.

I felt my back leave the wall. I wrapped my arms around his shoulders, entwining my fingers in his hairs while I cherished the soft skin of his neck. Percy kicked his bedroom door shut and walked us to his bed, laying me gently on his bed.

Suddenly I remembered. I was not matching… and I had a pair of comfort underwear on. You know, you have underwear to feel sexy, for red days and for… comfort. And I was wearing comfort today.

"Percy." I whispered "I'm not… I'm not really sexy today."

He pulled away to look at me. A look of confusion was quickly replaced by a sly grin.

"Don't worry… you could be wearing rags and I'd still find you beautiful, Annabeth." He kissed between my collarbones "Plus, it's coming off anyway."

I swatted him in the back of the head, and he laughed. He pulled away to strip himself of his shirt, stretching to show me those delicious muscles of his, rippling down his skin in a delicious way. I sat up to run my nails down his abs, and he hissed. I looked up to him with a smile and he bit his lip.

"Percy…"

He took the back of my head and pulled me up, leaning down to meet me halfway in a sweet kiss. His tongue ran over my lips, his breath tickling the nervous skin. I wrapped my arms around his neck and he followed me down to the bed, laying on top of me. One of his hands went between us, and my breath hitched, believing he was about to touch me where I wanted him the most.

But no.

He simply grabbed my thigh to spread my legs apart and nest himself between them. His hands moved to raise my shirt up my body, the pads of his fingers caressing the inches of skin revealed. His lips moved to my neck, and I moaned out loud when he bit the side of it, just below my ear.

"Damn it, Perce…" I reached down to unlace his shorts, but my hands were shaking.

They shook because I just wanted to be with him. I caused him, myself, both of us so much misery because I was too scared to see that the rest of my life was standing right in front of me.

"Why is this so fucking hard..?!" I whispered, and he took my hands in his, pulling away to look at me.

"You're more shaky than usual, and I haven't even gotten to the good part yet." He raised an eyebrow "Talk to me, Annabeth."

"I… I'm an idiot." I admitted "I should have never… and I almost did, twice! And I just need you–! I… I can't Percy. Not again."

"Breathe." He spoke quietly, and my beating heart soothed slowly at his tone "Tell me."

"I'm terrified." I sniffled "I'm terrified of how much I love you. Because I know that if you ever leave–!"

He kissed me hard then. So hard and rough that stopped breathing and consequently, stopped thinking. He took, used and abused of my lips and, when he was sure I had been thoroughly kissed, he pulled away.

And I needed a second to breathe.

Or two.

Or forty.

"Percy?" I called.

"Don't even think about that. I'm not leaving. I'm never leaving. Annabeth, you're my One. Ain't no chance in hell I'm ever letting go of you." He caressed my face with the gentlest look I've ever seen in him "I love you, baby girl."

"I love you too… so much!" I pulled him down for another kiss.

Soon, I was topless by his hand, and his swift fingers were unbuttoning my jeans. He trailed a hand up my torso, between my breasts and wrapped it around my throat. He didn't squeeze, just kept a firm grip on me and pressed me down on the bed.

Then, he started pressing kisses down my chest and stomach. A sigh escaped my lips as he lowered his mouth past my bellybutton. I felt his smirk against my skin and I bit my lip as his tongue pushed out and trailed the baby hairs I had below my navel.

"You're still half clothed." I half-whispered, half-gasped.

"So are you… but don't worry." I felt my zipper being pushed down "I'm working on it."

His hand left my throat to grab the denim and strip it away from me. I was only in my panties now: a pair of cheeky cotton grey panties with a top of blue lace. The back of the panties had a drawing of a blue owl with a purple sleep mask that said 'Hoo needs sleep?' in a cursive calligraphy.

Needless to say, I turned red. Percy raised an eyebrow and stripped them off me. When he saw the drawing, he bit his lip to keep himself from laughing. But I could see it, the way his eyes crinkled at the corner and lit up like a Christmas tree.

"Shut up." I crossed my arms to cover myself.

"I didn't say anything." But his voice carried his laugh, and I rolled my eyes "Come on, Wise Girl… that's adorable."

I pursed my lips – I did not pout, I don't pout – and squirmed away when he leaned down to kiss my neck. He pressed his lips against my cheek and smiled.

"You're so adorable. And those panties look great on you. And because I like them so much, I'm gonna let you keep them."

He pushed himself down and, with close to no warning, spread my legs apart and started eating me out.

"Ah fuck!" I grabbed his hair and the pillow above my head.

I was all sprawled out in the bed for him to feast on. He was holding onto my thighs, keeping me in place. But even with that grounding, I was trashing all over the place. Because the sensations were overpowering me and it was so good, too good, and I know Percy wasn't teasing. He was going to get me there, and he wasn't about to play around.

"Percy, oh Percy!"

But he didn't stop. And I lost control of my pitch, and I only realized I was screaming when I was coming all over his mouth.

"You okay baby girl?" he pushed himself up to hover over me, a careful look in his face.

I grabbed the back of his neck and pulled him down for a bruising kiss. He hummed in pleasure and lowered himself onto me, the cool metal of the tip of his laces burning against my skin. The inky softness of his hair was the greatest feeling after the strain he put my body through.

"Want to…?"

"Yes." My hands fumbled with his laces again, but this time I was successful.

Soon, I was pushing his shorts and boxers down his thighs, and he pulled them off the rest of the way. He was naked before me, chest heaving, and lip trapped between his lips. I grabbed his hand and entwined our fingers, pulling him down on top of me.

"I love you." He whispered, nose touching mine.

"I love you." I smiled and pulled him down for another kiss.

I felt him shift and, after hearing the familiar snap of rubber against skin, I looked into his deep green eyes. He gulped and I gasped as he slowly pushed inside me. I was already panting; I couldn't help it. Percy just feels so good, like coming home.

"Annabeth…" he whispered, leaning down to kiss my neck.

I bit my lip as he continued to move. In and out, painfully slowly, much like our first time. And the thought brought a rush of emotion to me, only squashed by the feeling of his lips against mine. It was short, but sweet.

And he still moved slowly, as if showing me he could, for me. He was trying to love me, to give me what I wanted. But he was wrong. All I wanted was him. Slow, hard, rough, whatever it was, as long as it was him.

"P-Percy!"

"Yeah, baby girl?" his voice faltered, as if going this slow for me was the hardest thing he ever did.

"Faster…"

"Are you sure?" he frowned.

"All I want is you, Percy… and you're rough and fast." I smiled up to him "So give me what you are."

His eyes closed, and his breathing sped up before he thrusted fast. I yelped, but grabbed his arm, nodding vehemently. He leaned down, resting his forehead against my neck, and started pushing faster, hardening the kick of his hips.

He was powerful over me, and with every thrust, a jolt of lust ran through me. I grabbed my breasts to keep them from jiggling so much as Percy pushed inside me fast. His hand came between us to match the pace of his hips on my clit. My nails were coloring his arms red and I was moaning out.

Fuck, it felt so different. So much love, so much passion, so much sentiment that we shared, finally set unbound. Finally free to soar. He was gasping out my name, his voice hoarse. And I called out his, desperate for that release.

I could feel it building, so fast. I called out his name, I begged him for help, and he answered me with loving harshness.

"Percy! Oh, fuck, Perce!"

It was as every nerve in my body spasmed. All the knots snapped at the same time, exploding all the tension in my body. I remember a scream, but I don't know if it was mine or his. When I came to, when the blinding light faded enough for me to see once more, Percy was still rolling his hips lazily, riding the remains of his own orgasm.

He pushed himself up to his elbows, and stared down at me. His eyes were so full of love, so much passion and admiration, that I found myself wondering why in the name of hells did I ever doubt him.

He looked down at us, where we were still joined, and pulled away from me. The condom was soon discarded, but I felt messier than usual down there.

"Percy?" I called.

"Yeah?" he laid down next to me.

"The condom didn't break, did it? Because…"

"You feel wetter than normal?" he pushed himself onto his side, facing me with a satisfied smile.

"Yeah…" I bit my lip.

"No, it did not break. But you…" his smile turned wicked "You came hard. Well, to be honest, you didn't come. You squirted."

I hid my face as he laughed out loud. Oh my gods, that was so embarrassing! And he still laughed, because I could feel the rumble of his chest behind my back. His arm snaked around my waist and settled on my thigh, as his lips found my neck.

"Don't be like that, baby girl." He smiled against my skin "That was a first for me too. I don't think any girl has ever squirted for me."

"I hate you." I whispered, but still snuggled closer to him.

"No, you love me. There's a difference, beautiful."

I do… I really do.

Two weeks passed, and everything was well. The exam season was over and gone and I was seizing the day. I walked to my dorm room and I put the key in the lock. I heard soft music on the other side, which I found strange. If that dude gets up before 9am, it's a miracle. Still, I opened the door and gasped.

A blonde was standing in the kitchen, humming quietly to the song. She wore a white shirt, too baggy for her so it clearly belonged to my dear roommate. I put my keys down and she smiled back at me, beckoning me closer. I got a taste of the breakfast she was making: blue pancakes and orange juice.

"It's really good." I smiled and she waved her spoon at me.

"Thanks. They're almost ready, go get changed."

"Nice panties."

"Percy got them for me." she smirked "Gooo."

I went to my room, to change. When I came back, I had a good view of the scene. Messy blond locks tied in a sloppy ponytail, the white shirt kind of see through, and she wore a pair of black cheeky panties with the words 'Spank me!' written in white cursive. Her long legs were on display, and the cotton stretched deliciously over her round ass.

And my roommate was behind her, arms wrapped around her in a gentle hug, impossible bed hair and half-lidded eyes. He was shirtless, shorts hanging low on his hips. His back had clear scratches and I rolled my eyes at the sight. Because even if his hands were on her hips, he was pulling her against him. The smile on her face was ever so loving, and I swear I have never seen such a soft look in his face.

"Good morning guys." I smiled.

"Hey Jason." She waved a spoon at me, her back still turned.

"Hey man." He turned his head to look at me, even though his cheek still rested on her shoulder.

"How are you two doing?" I started setting the table.

"Just fine, really. I'm happy to relax for once. This last month has been whooping my ass. " She spoke "Percy, are the pancakes blue enough?"

"Just perfect, Annabeth." He kissed her shoulder "Thank you."

"Breakfast is ready. Jason, have you eaten?"

"No, I'm just arriving from the gym, actually." I stretched "Looks tasty."

Percy set the orange juice as Annabeth served the pancakes. We ate in silence, Annabeth's feet up in Percy's lap and one of his hands on her thigh. I smiled at the two. Finally, they were together, as they were supposed to. Sure, it had taken them a while, a lot of unnecessary drama and one angry Piper for them to get back on track. But they were back.

As they should be.

"So, are you up for a double date today?" I asked.

"Who's going?" Percy asked.

"Well, the two of you and Piper and I… is that cool?"

"I mean… sounds good. What do you think, Perce?" Annabeth looked over to Percy, who shrugged and nodded. "Sounds like a date alright. 4pm? At Demeter's café?"

"Deal." I smiled.

Don't get me wrong. It's not like the drama ended there. Hell, there were still fights, and they still went at each other's throats in a scary way. Sometimes after a big fight, they spent days without talking only to trash whoever's bedroom and make up.

They were two souls, one heart drawn to each other to crash and burn. But they loved each other so brightly, it was impossible to not sit back and watch the fireworks.

Especially when their love overcame all the barriers life threw their way.

A/N: I hope you liked to take on this journey with me. It was super fun and it has been some time since the last I wrote rated Ms. And yes, I am finishing this story without posting the cover image. I will post the cover image eventually.

Thank you for all your love and reviews,
