Artemis PoV

I awoke in my tent, tucked into my bed and wrapped in my fur blankets.

My arm was properly wrapped and no longer screaming in pain, though not quite a dull pain that I would easily forget about, either.

I was clad in clean clothing, some of which I'm not sure was mine.

The shirt I wore was faded and oversized.

I noticed a tall figure sitting at the small table, messing with the medical kit. "Percy?"

He looked over and stood, walking over to kneel down next to my bed. "How are you feeling, Artemis?"

I sighed. "I've been better. How are you?"

"I'm fine," he replied dismissively. "Is there anything I can do for you?"

"I'm hungry," I remarked. "You could get food."

The god summoned a plate with a juicy burger and crispy fries. "For you."

I kissed his cheek and moved to sit up.

He set the plate down on the small table and helped me over to the edge of the bed.

He produced a sling for my arm and secured it for me.

"So, what happened?" I asked as I began to eat.

Percy cleared his throat. "Once the meeting was over and I had completed a couple of assignments, I came down to see you. You were collapsing outside your tent, and I brought you inside. I cleaned up your wounds and put you in non-bloodstained clothing. I didn't know where your pyjamas were so I just put you in one of my shirts."

I took a bite out of one of my fries. "I don't remember very much. The Nemean Lion attacked, I shot it in the throat, and most everything else is a blur."

He nodded. "Well, I'm supposed to be free for the next few days, so I can be here to help you out and you won't have to worry about moving around to hide from the monsters."

"You plan on staying here with me?" I clarified.

"If it's alright with you," the man replied. "I like you and I want to spend more time with you."

"What does that make us?" I asked. "Girlfriend and boyfriend?"

He shrugged. "I hadn't really thought about it all that much. We've only been on one date, but I was planning on changing that. Do you want to be my girlfriend?"

I nodded and pushed away my empty plate with my good arm before going to wash my hands.

Everything was cleaned up when I got back from the bathroom and Percy was sitting patiently on the floor.

I sat down next to him. "You can sit on my bed, you know."

"Yeah," he responded. "I prefer being in bed with you over being in bed alone."

I snorted. "So, what exactly was your plan for taking me on another date?"

"Well, it was going to be something along the lines of beach volleyball," the god explained. "I'm going to have to rethink that now. It'll probably be something like dinner and a movie."

"So, you know what did today," I started. "What did you do?"

"The meeting I went to was really boring," he replied. "I didn't pay very much attention, but Aphrodite was nice enough to explain that I could be less concerned about mortals when hunting monsters from now on."

"Why was Aphrodite at the meeting?" I asked.

"I don't know," my boyfriend replied. "She was really helpful, though. She explained the layout of the city and a ton of other helpful stuff. She even invited me over to her house to hang out. I told her I had to go complete an assignment. After that, I went and killed some monsters."

I sighed, realizing that he probably had no idea that Aphrodite was flirting with him.

"You're not very good at taking hints from women, are you?"
