Artemis PoV
"Uhhh," Percy replied intelligently. "I've shared a bed with her before."Levi snarled at him. "Have you or have you not been having sex with my baby sister?"
"Have not," Percy responded.
"When did you start dating?" Levi asked.
"Um, well..." Percy gulped. "I'm not really sure." Levi grabbed his shirt. "Why is that?"
"Well, long story short, my, at the time, fiancé killed my mom after the war, and when I figured it out I told Artemis. When I told my former fiancé about how I knew what she did, I had been in communication with Artemis for a while. After I told her, I told Artemis what I had learned, and before I left, I kissed Artemis. Please don't maim me!" Percy yelped as Levi pulled out his knife.
I jumped down from my hiding spot and grabbed Levi's arm.
"Levi," I chided. "I can take care of myself. I like him a lot. Please don't castrate him. Besides, he gives good hugs."
"I give good hugs too!" Levi exclaimed.
"Yeah, but his hugs are better," I stated bluntly.
Levi narrowed his eyes at Percy again. "Hurt her and you die. And for the record, my hugs are way better than yours."
"Then how come I'm the one administering a hug?" Percy asked smugly, arms around me.
"Didn't think you knew what administering meant," I mumbled.
"I'm having a very important discussion with your brother," Percy said seriously.
I sighed. "You both give warm, cuddly hugs. I can get hugs from both of you."
Percy kissed the top of my head.
"Now that this strange argument on hugs is over, how about some pizza?" I asked.
They both nodded and we snacked on the cheesy goodness.
After finishing two and a half pizzas each, the boys tapped out.
"I'm going to get ready for bed," I announced.
"You're staying tonight?" Percy asked.
I shrugged. "I don't want to go back just yet."
Levi and I said our goodbyes and he disappeared back into the darkness.
Percy nodded and I left to the master bedroom.
After I showered, I put on my underwear and one of Percy's shirts as my pyjamas.
I walked back out to the living area and placed my hands over his eyes.
"Guess who?" I asked jokingly.
Percy pulled me over the couch and into his lap. "The most amazingest girl in the world."
"Amazingest isn't a word, Percy," I pointed out.
"You're so amazing that a new word was needed so you could be described," he replied smoothly.
I kissed his cheek. "Go take a shower so we can cuddle."
Percy did as told, and as he showered I curled up on the bed.
I closed my eyes, taking a little nap.
I stirred, feeling a warmth wrap around me.
"I thought you were waiting for me so we could cuddle," Percy murmured in my ear.
I pecked his lips. "I sleep when I want to."
Percy shrugged and kissed my cheek.
I pecked his lips again and he smiled into my neck. "Good night moon."
I snuggled into his chest, slowly drifting off.
I was awoken in the morning by a soft peck on the lips.
My eyes fluttered open, and I found that Percy had made more of his blue pancakes.
I sat up and kissed my boyfriend's cheek, taking the food.
Percy chuckled, sitting down next to me. After I finished the pancakes, Percy whisked the tray away and pulled me into a warm, cuddly hug.
I closed my eyes, head rested in the crook of his neck.
"What'll you say when the others ask where you've been?" Percy asked.
"I'll say I was with a man," I murmured.
Percy kissed my cheek. "When they call you a liar, just call me Mason."
I looked up to see that he now had orange hair, brown eyes, a scar on his face, and a slightly different face shape.
I leaned over and bit his neck.
Percy gave a soft groan as my teeth sunk into his neck and I started sucking.
When I pulled away, Percy did the same to my collarbone.
I gave a soft moan, my hand entangling in his hair.
Neither of us has an explanation; he was mine and I was his.
Percy's lips travelled to mine, and he kissed me softly.
When I pulled away for breath, there was a slight blush on my cheeks.
"I need to get going now," I murmured quietly, my lips ghosting his ear.
I arrived back to my palace and showered.
I stepped out and looked at myself in the mirror.
There was already a hickey starting to form on my collarbone.
A little bit would be visible-just a smidge of purple, but not the whole thing.
I slipped on a fresh set of clothes and went out to split some arrows.
When I arrived back to my palace to eat lunch, Aphrodite was waiting for me.
"Who is he?" She asked.
"I don't know what you're talking about," I lied.
Aphrodite pulled on my shirt, revealing the hickey. "And I suppose some squirrel threw a nut at you and gave you a bruise?"
"Uh, yeah?" I replied.
She scoffed. "Please. It's a hickey. Lucky for me, I have a database for figuring out who."
She thought for a minute. "Is your brain boiling?" I asked.
"I haven't slept with him," Aphrodite gasped.
I snorted. "I would hope not. He isn't even from this pantheon."
Her eyes bugged out and I smiled.
"Come on! Tell me! I have to know!" The love goddess exclaimed.
I smiled at her again.
The next days were spent batting off Aphrodite's attempts to find out who I was with.
Then a council meeting was called.
After Zeus had finished his rant about Perseus, Aphrodite decided to speak.
"I have a complaint," she stated. "Artemis has a hickey and she won't tell me who gave it to her."
"Vindictive bitch," I muttered just loud enough for her to hear.
"So who is it?" Apollo asked.
"I don't see why this is a concern of the council," I dodged.
"Come on! We're all family, and we look out for each other!" Hermes exclaimed.
I scoffed. "Father would attempt to smite him with the master bolt, Apollo would attempt to shoot him down, Aphrodite would attempt to sleep with him, and everyone else would bombard him with questions."
They all denied this.
I sighed. "He isn't even from the Greek Pantheon."
"Then we must know!" Athena exclaimed. "For your safety."
"Well," Percy drawled. "You all seem nice, but Arty could probably kick my ass with both hands tied behind her back if she felt like it."
"Are you her fuckbuddy?" Aphrodite asked. Percy wrinkled his nose. "That is such a demeaning term. No, I'm Mason, her boyfriend."
"Prove it," Apollo scoffed.
I sighed and got down from my throne, moving to stand next to him.
I kissed Percy's cheek. "This is Mason. He's my boyfriend. That's why I've been spending so much time off Olympus." Apollo narrowed his eyes. "He's a nerd."
I shrugged. "He's kind. And cute."
Percy smiled, kissing the top of my head.
Aphrodite squealed, nearly falling out of her chair.
"So..." Percy trailed off. "Is the meeting over?"
We were dismissed, and I flashed back to my palace.
I crawled into his lap on the couch and kissed him fiercely.
When I pulled away, he had the goofiest smile on his face.
"Miss me?" Percy asked cheekily.
I straightened his glasses. "You're a dork, Mason."
Percy smiled, pushing the glasses back up. "Your dork."
I snuggled into his chest. "Hugs."
He smiled and pulled me close, burying his face in my hair.
"So, I'm cute?" He teased.
