Short one today! I lost my train of thought at some point, but may continue this as well, can't go wrong with a Percabeth engagement!


"Bro, stop freakin' out 'n' just do it."

"Great advice, Lou, can't believe I didn't think of it."

"Do ya want my help or not?"

"I asked Frank to help, not you!"

"What, why?"

"'Cos Frank doesn't call me a 'dick' every five seconds."

"Frank don't call anyone a 'dick'. Bet he don't even call a dick a dick."

"Can I come out of this conversation now? Please."

"No, you're a fishy person, you ain't ever allowed out."

"Let the record show, I did not consent to 'fishy person'."

"Blame Coach." Louisa shrugged. "He made the name stick." She frowned, squinting at Percy. "Fuckin' do it already, dickface." Percy threw his hands up, point proven. Frank shuffled nervously. "Pick a ring or I'm gonna propose to her with, uh… with that!" She pointed, grinning maniacally. Percy didn't even bother looking, putting his head in his hands at something that was undoubtedly stupid.

Frank looked though, puzzled.

"Lou, that's two thousand dollars."

"Holy shit, it is? Nah, dude, fuck Annabeth! This place is expensive!" The man serving at the counter frowned at her for the umpteenth time. Louisa ignored him. "Look, we've been here for years-"

"Half an hour."

"Why don't ya just ask Leo ta make one?"

"Oh, there's an idea." Percy marvelled sarcastically. "A ring that explodes, shoots lasers and smells like chicken nuggets!"

"What every girl wants." Louisa confirmed, mock wistfully.

"What would you know, you're hopeless as shit."

"Well, fuck you too! Dickface!"

"Ma'am, if you continue with that language-"

"Ah, I'm leavin' anyway. Good luck with this dumbass." She jabbed a thumb at her brother and stomped out. Percy huffed a sigh of relief, rubbing at his face.

"All I wanted was an engagement ring. Not a headache."

"She's your sister, she'll always give you a headache."

"Save me."

"Buy a ring first." Frank nodded at the display case. A loud knocking caught their attention. Louisa stood outside, face pressed against the glass and going boss-eyed. She moved away, laughing, and then Reyna appeared. She took Louisa by the arm, shaking her head. With a wave to Frank and Percy, she took the headache away. Frank smiled. "Can always count on Reyna to deal with Lou."

"I swear she can teleport."

"Yeah, gods, I would not put it past her."
