Chapter 6: The Kiss

It was a nice day for walking, the sun high in the sky, casting off heat, and a soft wind blowing, and among the mortals was one Titan that was walking, bored out of his mind, and with thoughts wandering.

Kronos was strolling through New York, after having spent about a few years looking for Percy, but they had moved and something magical moved all evidence of the small Jackson family living there. The only evidence was a man who was fat and had just gotten out of jail.

But as the titan was walking he bumped into someone, swearing as the boy ran, his black hair whipping in the wind and wide sea-green eyes met his.

"Sorry…" Percy muttered and was ready to walk back when the arms grabbed him and when he looked up, familiar golden eyes bored into his. "Kronos?" Percy whispered and relaxed in his tense state.

"The one and only, now would you like to tell me where you were? I was worried sick about you, especially when I couldn't find you, anywhere!" Kronos said and they began to walk, to the park that was not too far away.

"My mom moved us to Canada for a while, she was scared of something and wouldn't say what, and then on my eleventh birthday, she and I moved back. Wasn't sure if you still lived here or not…

The odd pair spent the rest of the day talking, and moving to lay on the grass, Percy's head on the older boy's thighs and pointing to the clouds passing, and just enjoying the company.

"Percy, if you had a choice between power and family… what one would you chose?" Kronos asked and turned to the side to watch his companion.

"I would choose… what is right, but it is a difficult question to ask…" Percy muttered, "But I would most likely change my mind in the future."

The sun was setting, and Kronos never felt more nerves of what he was going to do, he was, after all, a billion years old… but he hadn't felt this flutter of emotion in a few years, and before those millions of years. The little flutter of love, the devotion he had with Rhea had turned to rage, one of the reasons why he wanted to destroy the gods rule.

Rhea loved them, and he wanted nothing to do with his traitorous wife and sister.

"Percy, can I try something?" Kronos asks.

"What?"

Closing his eyes, Kronos leant down and pressed his lips onto the green-eyed preteen.

The boy gasped and pushed his shoulder and asked what he was doing.

"I love you Perseus Jackson and I hope one day you will love me back, and know me, the real me." Kronos stood up and jogged away, ignoring Percy's cry for him to come back.
