He stumbled back in shock and looked at me. "Okay," he said, and took a deep breath, looking away, "You like someone?"
I was confused then I realized that he thinks I like someone else. You see what kind of idiot I have to work with? I haven't spent time with someone other than him. Who does he think I like?
"Yess I like someone." I said.
"Who?" He asked with closed eyes. I could feel his heartbreak and knew I would have to hurry.
"A guy I know, dumbest person alive. Pretty sea-green eyes, like the oceans. A prince of the sea, you get who I'm talking about?" I asked, and he looked confused for a minute. Then his eyes widened, and he swooped me up in his arms. He whirled us around in a circle, happily laughing; he stopped and pulled me in for a kiss. It wasn't a short chaste kiss, but a very dominant kiss. His tongue was in my mouth immediately, while we tasted each other.
He pulled away, breathing heavily, and pushed his forehead against mine. "You have no idea how long I have waited to do that, Miss Mclean."
I smiled at him and replied, "I have waited for you to do that too Mr. Jackson."
Third Person Pov
Piper Mclean was never a typical daughter of Aphrodite. She never shared the same enthusiasm her mother, or her siblings did. She always thought of herself as the exception, the outcast.
She was wrong.
She just had never known what love meant before. Not until she fell in love with Percy Jackson. She didn't think much of him before, but now he was the only person she thinks about.
They had been together for 3 years now, leaving camp for 4 years. They had traveled half the world with each other. Been to places, and experienced things most would die for. Yet, none of them meant as much as the company she had with her.
They were currently in the city of love, Paris. It was fitting actually, the love-sick daughter of the goddess of love, in the city of love. Lots of couples were sight-seeing around the city. Percy had already shown her around.
She looked at her boyfriend; he was casually leaning back in his chair, his feet resting up at their table. He was wearing a white shirt, with a black over-length coat, and a scarf rolled around his neck.
Piper could feel many women gawking at her boyfriend; but he never bothered to even spare them a glance.
"Percy?" She called his name; his head jerked to look at the ever-changing eyes he loved.
"Yes my dear?" His sea-green eyes lit up, like they did every time he gazed at her.
Sometimes it made her feel self-conscious at the way he looked at her. Like she was the reason for his smile. She never wanted to make that smile disappear.
"Do you love me?" She asked, and she knew he loved her. He loved her enough, that if she asked if, he would declare war on the Titans or the Gods.
Percy said nothing, and closed his eyes smiling. For a second, Piper was sad, that he decided to not answer her. Why was he ignoring her question?
Her answer came when Percy's smile widened, he stood up and moved towards her. Suddenly music started playing in the café they were sitting in. She saw a guy with a violin on the opposite side of the road, start playing.
"May I have a dance, My Lady?" Percy asked, bowing in front of her. One of his hands was outstretched in front of her, while the other was formally folded behind his back.
Some of the tourists had stopped to look at them. Some were holding their phones out to record them. Piper wasn't going to disappoint them.
She took his outstretched hand, and smiled back, "You shall, good Sir."
Percy's smile could've lit the whole of Paris. He took her to the middle of the street, and held her close. He started moving, and Piper moved in sync with him. They were lost in each other's eyes.
Percy pinched Piper's waist teasingly, which caused her to giggle. Taking her surprise to his benefit, he lifted her by her waist, and twirled her around. Piper was laughing at his actions, and Percy could feel his heart melt into a puddle. He dropped her softly to the ground, and captured her lips in his.
They were aware of the crowd gathered around them, but couldn't care less. They were used to standing among gods, and feeling like celebrities. Some mortal attention wasn't going to faze them.
Percy broke the kiss and pushed his forehead against hers. "Does that answer your question Pipes?"
Piper sighed and nodded. She felt giddy, like a teenager madly in love. Percy's taste lingered on her lips; it was like drowning in the sea. Piper could've spent her entire life at the depth of them.
People applauded their performance, and Piper saw almost everyone in the crowd was clapping and cheering them. She blushed from the attention, but Percy took it in stride. He bowed to their praises. He went to the violin guy, and gave him a stack of money, complimenting him.
Percy came back, and took her hand in his. They walked away, roaming the streets of the city of Love.
"So how did you manage it?" Piper asked him.
"I have a few tricks up my sleeve, and it helps that my girlfriend's mom is the goddess of love." Percy smirked at Piper's surprised expression.
"Wait, my mom helped you?" Piper looked at him in surprise.
"I prayed to Aphrodite, and she was more than willing to help out," Percy said to her and pulled her closer to him. Piper sighed and rested her head on his shoulder.
Line-Break
Piper and Percy found a layer of monsters in Paris, and decided to clear it out. Even if they didn't have to, they were still heroes, they couldn't let those monsters hurt innocents.
"So how do we do this?" Piper asked her boyfriend. He was holding his pen in his hands, twirling it between his fingers.
"Simple, we go in, we fight and kill, and come out laughing, like a badass." Percy smirked at her; his voice hoarse, and his tongue stuttering. He might've drunk a little.
Piper rolled her eyes, but knew that even in his sleep, Percy had instincts to kill a Titan. They stepped into the lair of monsters to see that there were a few Cyclopses, and few empousais. Immediately, both demigods sprinted into action.
Piper took the empousais because their charm was useless on her. Percy took the Cyclopses; he didn't like killing them, as they reminded him of Tyson; but he did what he was supposed to do.
Both demigods kept decimating monsters left and right; nothing in their way remained standing. The atmosphere around the warehouse was covered in monster dust. Percy saw Piper stabbing an empousai in the neck and pulling hard enough that the monster's head fell to the ground.
Percy's hormones started affecting him as he looked at his girlfriend killing monsters like they were made of paper. "Gods you look so hot, I want to just bend you over and fuck you right now," Percy shouted to Piper, as he stabbed Riptide through another Cyclops eye.
Piper smirked as she engaged with another monster; she knew her boyfriend had the sex drive of a horse. If she was to listen to him, they would never spend a minute not fucking. She loved how horny he gets, whenever he sees her fighting, or doing almost anything.
One day he bent her over the bed and ravaged her mercilessly, because she was walking sexily. She could feel her thoughts wander to that night, and her panties became moist. The bastard was distracting her in the middle of a fight. Maybe she should return the favor.
"Oh yeah… You want to see me on my knees, with your big thick cock in my mouth. Do you want to bend me over so you can have your way with me honey? Do you want me to scream at the top of my lungs, tell these monsters how much I love it when my 'Daddy' ravishes me?" She too, shouted back.
Percy cursed himself for starting something that came to bite him back in the ass. He wiped the blood that had leaked from his nose, at the mental image of Piper on her knees. The distraction caused harm, as a large splinter from the Cyclops' club embedded in the side of his gut. He ignored the pain, and stabbed the Cyclops in his heart.
"What kind of disgusting demigods are you two?" The last remaining empousai sneered at them. Like they needed any advice from monsters who drain human blood.
"Leave us alone, we are in love." Percy shouted, as Piper slashed her stomach with Katoptris.
Piper turned to her boyfriend to see a large piece of wood stuck in his stomach. Immediately, she rushed to him.
"What happened Idiot?" She screeched at him.
"I may have had a little incident, when distracted thinking about you in your knees." Percy sheepishly said to her.
"Little Incident?" Piper shouted, "You've been stabbed Idiot."
Piper wrapped her arms around the piece of wood and pulled it out, and the blood spilled out of Percy's gut. Though, he didn't seem fazed even a bit. He waved his hands and the spilling of blood stopped. Piper realized he had used his power over liquids to stop the flow of blood.
"I've been stabbed before," Percy argued with her, thinking it was a valid point.
"You don't develop immunity to stabbing asshole," she honestly was going to kill him. Piper could see the head line in her mind.
'PERCY JACKSON: Killed by his annoyed girlfriend'
Percy had the gall to tsk at her, "Tsk… Tis but a scratch." He said, looking at her.
Piper laughed at his audacity to quote memes in the middle of arguing. She relaxed when some water wrapped around his injury and healed him.
Before she could say anything, Percy had his lips on her, and it was deep & passionate. Piper closed her eyes as she felt like the organs inside her had melted. The way Percy kissed her always took her by surprise; she could feel his love and need for her in just a kiss.
Piper felt cold, and when she opened her eyes, they were back in their hotel suite. She smirked when she felt his erection through his pants. Her hands shot downwards to palm the bulge in his pants. Percy moaned at her touch, and Piper felt like she had won something.
She could make the great Percy Jackson, the slayer of many, moan like crazy by just a touch through clothes. She felt some sort of accomplishment that the man who rejected her mother, the goddess of love's advances, was wrapped around her finger.
Percy could not believe his luck; he had the most powerful demigod of their generation in his bed. Piper Mclean, the daughter of Aphrodite, who defied death with her Charm-speak; the demigod who put the Primordial entity of earth Gaia, to sleep with her Charm-speak was in love with him.
He kissed her collarbone knowing that was her weakness. Piper could only moan, as her boyfriend stimulated every single one of her weak spots.
"Honey?" Piper murmured as he continuously teased her weak spots.
"Yes my love?" Percy asked, not taking his mouth off her body.
"Fuck me, please," Piper pleaded, and she could feel him smirk through her neck.
"Gladly," Percy replied smugly.
Line-Break (one year later)
Percy and Piper were currently dining at one of the finest restaurants in Australia. They had finally finished traveling and were thinking about settling down some place soon. Percy wanted to enjoy one more night of outing. Piper agreed, though her Aphrodite genes told her something big was going to happen today.
"Piper?" Percy called her.
"Hmnn…" She looked up from the glass of wine she was drinking.
"Can I tell you something?" Percy asked, and there was a slight tremor in his voice. Piper couldn't understand what he was feeling.
"Yes… you can tell me anything Percy." Piper smiled back at him.
"There's something I haven't told you about me," Percy said softly.
"What is it honey?" Piper asked, she knew almost everything about him. If she didn't know something, it was because he was hiding it knowingly. But why would he? They had been traveling together for 5 years now, and had been in a relationship for 4 years. What had he hidden for so long?
"There are some things about my pasts I've hidden from you. Don't say anything, just listen to me please." Percy asked, and there was a certain vulnerability in him, that she wasn't familiar with. She nodded at him and smiled to ease his nervousness.
"My mom and I grew up very poor, some nights we didn't have enough food for the two of us, so my mom would feed me and sleep empty stomach herself. We didn't have anyone but each other, and I always resented my father for leaving us with nothing. I wanted nothing more than a father, and when I was 7 my mother remarried, suddenly I had a step father." Percy took a deep breath; his voice breaking as he continued.
"Mom always knew who my father was, she knew I was a demigod, and that my scent would attract many monsters. So to suppress my scent she married a horrible man, but little Percy was so happy at getting a father. Gabriel, that was his name, I used to call him smelly Gabe." Percy laughed humorlessly, and Piper felt her stomach clench. She knew something bad was coming.
"Gabe was great at start, but then he showed his true colors, he would beat me, with anything he could find. Bat, belts, whips, chain, beer bottles, and would threaten that if I told my mom he would hit her, so I stayed silent and suffered the abuse." Percy's eyes let loose some tears, and Piper felt like throwing up. She couldn't believe that someone would do something like that to her Percy. She subdued the rage that was building in her, and reached to take Percy's hand on her own.
She thanked, that they had chosen a private booth, away from anyone's eyes.
"All my life, I wanted nothing more than a family of my own. I wanted to give the same love to my kids, that my mom always gave me. Even when I was in the Pit with her, the thing that kept me going was the thought of having my own sons and daughters. When we found out about them cheating on us, I thought that I could never have that, but now with you. I feel like I can have a family again, I want us to be a family, and have a family." Percy said, standing up.
He got off from his seat and dropped on one knee in front of her. Piper's hands shot up to cover her mouth in surprise; tears welling up in her eyes. Percy took out a ring from his pocket.
"Piper Mclean, daughter of love, my love. I promise to be there for you on your hardest times, to be your strength. From our mortal form to our godly ascension, I promise to love you, and only you. We would face any challenges that come at us together, never would you lose me. I swear upon the creator's name that I would never stray from you, as long as you will love me loyally. I promise that I'm yours, and yours alone. So Miss Mclean, would you marry be?" Percy promised her.
Black lightning, thundering flashed outside as the swear upon the creator's name was sealed. The earth shook from the power behind that thunder.
"Of course I will marry you Idiot, and I promise upon the creator's name to forever stay loyal to you." Piper shouted, jumping from her seat; she let Percy put the ring on her finger.
Up on Olympus, the gods had gathered on Aphrodite's request to see the Hero of Olympus propose to his girlfriend.
They were shocked to hear about his abuse. Apollo and Artemis were particularly angry. They were the patrons of little children. Poseidon felt shameful, for leaving Percy and Sally with nothing; he could've tried more.
The gods were utterly shocked when Percy and Piper swore upon the creator's name. No one had ever dared to swear on her, hell; only the elder gods had ever seen Chaos, among the council.
Thunder boomed, and the darkest lightning crackled in the sky. The entire Olympus was shaken by the thunder.
The elder gods gasped, "She has accepted their oath, this is the first time she has shown signs of her existence in 5000 years," Hestia said.
"What it was just some lightning," Apollo said. None of the second generation had met the creator; they didn't know what her presence felt like.
"That wasn't just some lightning son, that was the creator's approval. She has taken personal interest in those two demigod," Zeus announced, he was scared of her. She never liked him.
"At least one god on Olympus would remain faithful to his wife," Hera sneered, at Zeus and flashed out.
Zeus grumbled as the rest of the council laughed at him; soon everyone flashed out.
Line-Break (One year later) 6 years after they left camp.
Percy Jackson had faced many hardships in his life; he had sacrificed much in his life. His innocence, his childhood, his friends, even the person he first loved, decided to add pain to the already long list of his suffering. He just wanted peace in his life.
Right now he had everything he ever wanted. He was sitting in his living room, with his fiancé's feet resting on his lap, as he watched the sport.
He got the peace he wanted, only for two decades, but peace at least. He got a life without the interference of the gods. A house in the suburbs, with white picket fences, he got a steady job at the local community college. Now all he needed was his own family.
He looked towards his fiancé as she slept, resting her feet in his lap. Her hands resting upon her baby bump, she was pregnant 6 months, with their unborn daughter. Percy smiled, he would have the family he always wanted soon.
