Percy sat up in his tent, it was somewhere around 2 or 3 in the night. Percy groggily got out of bed and rubbed his eyes. There was a distant 'Thwack' every 2 seconds coming from near his tent.

Percy grabbed his clothes and put them on, he grabbed riptide and readied himself for a fight, if there was one.

Percy walked through the forest his muscles tense and his face serious his grip on riptide firm and ready to fight at any moment.

He silently crept not making as much as a sound, he gracefully weaved through the tress and skillfully avoided the twigs on the ground.

Percy finally arrived at the place of the sound expecting a fight. He was definitely wasn't expecting to find a sweaty Thalia holding up a bow firing it at the targets.

Percy looked around and saw many of the broken targets, that would repair itself as Apollo came up. Many of the targets had bullseyes in them, multiple in a single target.

He looked at Thalia and his eyes shone with worry at her state. Sweat glistened over every part of her body. There was not a single part of her body that wasn't covered in sweat.

She was panting tiredly, weakly holding up a bow as she brought it up once again and fired yet another arrow at the target which hit the target but not in the bullseye, she was about fire yet another one when she spotted him.

She gave him a weak grin and raised her hand to give him a wave. "Hey Perce." She said, sweat dripping down her face.

"Hey yourself.." Percy murmured, his eyes and face showing concern and worry at her state. "What are you doing Thals?" He asked her, his tone showing his concern.

"...Tr-Training." She said, having to break of due to lack of breath. Percy walked over to her as she was about fire another arrow but was unable to as Percy grabbed her wrist and stopped her from doing so. Thalia turned to glare at him but it faltered as she saw his concern.

"What's wrong Thalia." Percy asked him, his face was serious but Thalia knew he was trying to reign in his emotions for her sake. Thalia sighed as she pulled him in for a hug. She was never one for this mushy stuff but she felt as if he needed it, and if she was being real she did too.

He lead her over to a tree and they both sat down leaning on the tree both still embracing. Thalia had her back to Percy as she sat in his lap leaning into his embrace. Thalia closed her eyes as she took in his scent.

It always smelt like salty sea water, and if Thalia admitted it, it smelt nice and had a comforting aura around him, it was one of the reason that people really wanted to be around him.

"Well are you gonna tell me what's wrong." He asked her, she felt him put his chin on her head, and she sighed contently, taking in his warmth.

"Am i weak Perce?" She asked him, her eyes still closed. She waited for the answer and it came in the form of a laugh.

"Weak? You? Thals, you're one of the strongest people i know." Percy sighed, a smile on his face. He felt her melt into his embrace further. If anyone caught them, it would like they were a couple.

She 'Hmmmed' in response, content with answer, she turned her head to his arm and snuggled into it, her energy restoring it self. Percy just smiled and allowed her to snuggle into his arm, he had never seen this side of Thalia.

"Sing me a song Perce." Thalia breathed out. Percy was stunned to hear such a request. From Thalia of all people, she was really out of character today, Percy just assumed it was the stress pilling on her.

Percy began singing, a soft melodious sound, he sounded more like the God of Music than Apollo did. He found a song appropriate for this situation.

Lifes a Mess By Juice Wrld ft Halsey

Have you fallen head over heels for somebody

That made promises to give you the world? Um

I really hope they held you down

I really hope it was no lying

Cause my heart breaks, it feels like the world's gone

But if the love's real, you'd feel your soul roar like a lion

And you'd finally let bygones be bygones

Don't throw in the towel, I know it feels like you're the only one trying

You just gotta learn to live and love on

I belong with the one put on this Earth for me

Everybody has their someone, just gotta look and see

I'm screaming out, "Lord, help me, I've been lonely"

That's when you accept me, then you set me free

Uh, sometimes life's a mess

I get high when I'm upset

I remember when me and love didn't click

Searching for somethin' real then I found it

Uh, sometimes life's a mess

Yeah, I get high when I'm upset

I remember when me and love ain't click

Looking for somethin' real then I found it

As Percy finished his song, he found Thalia, sound asleep in his arms. He smiled down at her form, brushing the strand of hair out her face. He got up slowly and gingerly picked her up in a bridal carry.

Percy slowly walked through the forest again, this time it was hard due to the fact he had to keep Thalia's feet and head from hitting any trees. He made it to her tent and opened it.

He slowly walked to the middle of it and placed her down in the bed and pulled the cover over her. He looked down at her, he smiled at her peaceful state. It was so unlike Thalia.

He couldn't help himself, he leaned down and kissed her head, her brows furrowed before she let a beautiful smile grace her lips. "Sweet Dreams Thals" Percy whispered before he walked out of the tent and back to his to sleep.
