T-T
Today wasn't a very good day for Percy. It was supposed to be a joyous occasion after the defeat of Gaia, but Percy didn't feel the same. He felt sick from all of the fighting and death. All of the people he knew drifted in his mind as if they were wandering ghosts haunting him.
All of this happening and the gods decided it was a good idea to throw a banquet. They did absolutely nothing to honor those who fought in the war, who fought for them. It was like their children were disposable soldiers.
He felt disgusted and most of all tired. He was tired of fighting and tired of prophecies. He just wanted someone.
Annabeth was too busy talking with minor gods and nymphs than comforting her boyfriend. She had no idea what was happening to her boyfriend because she was way too excited about the architecture of Olympus.
Percy felt rather neglected lately. His girlfriend was never around and always on Olympus or drawing a new building plan to even care about him. He could his love for her was waning. He had gotten the girl of his dreams and expressed his love, but the girl didn't reciprocate it. The other campers thought they were the "perfect" couple, yet Percy didn't really think so. It was like a perfect marriage except the bride ditched the groom for someone else in this case that someone was architecture.
He thought this while he was silently sitting on the balcony. Currently, he was still at the banquet just by himself. He didn't interact much during the banquet only speaking when prompted otherwise ending the conversation quickly. Percy wasn't in the mood to talk in an atmosphere that was meant to be to joyous. He didn't feel like he fit in a place right now. Everyone there seemed to understand this and cleared a space for him. Almost everyone noticed the hero's sorrow except for Annabeth, the one person that was supposed to support him. To be the architect of Olympus was Annabeth's one goal in her life, and this was her dream come true. Nothing could distract her from this, not even her boyfriend whom she'd disregarded.
Artemis, upon seeing this, stared at the blond demigod with extreme disdain for a moment before minding her own business.
The balcony seemed like it was Percy's personal space. It had an atmosphere that was the complete opposite to the banquet. The gloomy atmosphere made other people subconsciously stay away from it. It was a stark contrast from the inside.
Inside were brightly decorated with beautiful lights, very suited for the occasion. The outside was dark and gloomy much like Percy's emotions only lit by the moon in the sky.
In his mind, there was a figure.
A figure he knew he could count on.
A figure that could make him smile whenever he was down.
A figure that was the complete the opposite of him.
A figure had the fiercest personality he knew.
A figure that he got along with so well.
A figure that knew him so well.
A figure that felt more than best friends and less than lovers.
Although, one small thing could tip that scale.
That very fragile relationship they had could evolve into so much more.
It could become much more than his relationship with Annabeth.
Percy was very careful not to touch his balance.
This balance was very important to him.
It was just under his relationship with his mother if not a tad bit higher.
So, he was very delicate with this relationship knowing that one small step could change everything. Everything that he had worked to had to maintain.
He didn't want that.
Percy knew that there was something. There was something there. Something that made them get along so well. He knew it and knew that she knew it. They both felt that electricity. That electricity that had bonded them. However, there were some small complications that had prevented their relationship from continuing and resulted in this fragile balance.
She was a Hunter, and he had someone that he was supposed to love.
(He didn't know that she had left after Gaia's defeat.)
He wanted to go a bit further, but he was expected to get together with Annabeth. Just a little bit further, but she had to join the Hunt. Maybe an inch forwards, but he wanted to maintain his friendship with her.
When he got to know her, he knew that she was the one, but because of the pressure he restrained himself. With her, he could be himself. If it was with her, he could be content with the rest of his life. If it was with her, he could forget the war and forget the prophecies. With her, he felt like he could take on the world.
She was the most badass person he knew.
The hottest person he knew.
The best accomplice.
Listened to the best songs.
Had the most beautiful eyes he's ever seen.
The prettiest smile.
And the sexiest lips.
With her nice freckles.
Her messy hair was the most attractive thing ever.
Had the hardest punch he's ever felt.
She had that bad girl vibe he liked.
He found it cute when she would scrunch her nose.
He loved her melodic laugh.
Whenever she licked her lips in excitement, he almost lost. Almost.
Of course, he would never tell her all of these things. He wouldn't unnecessarily stroke her already big ego.
Just thinking about her made him subconsciously smile to himself. He continued reminiscing until a loud cough sounded behind him.
When he saw who it was, his mind went blank with a single thought.
Woah...
There stood the person that filled his thoughts.
Her hair was styled in a way, where it was spiky and tame at the same time. On her head was a silver circlet that complimented her hair. She wore a black one sleeved dress that draped down. The top of the dress ran from her left collarbone to below her right arm. It draped down to her feet, where there was a slit that opened from the top of her left leg to show off her perfect legs that wore sliver high heels. On her thigh was a leather garner belt which made her look extremely sexy.
"Perce! What the hell are you doing here?" Thalia practically shouted at him.
Percy was at a loss for words and stared at her in a dumbfounded manner.
"You."
She let out the laugh that had constantly echoed in his ears and flashed her mischievous smile.
"I've got something special for you."
She pulled out two seemingly ordinary beer bottles and handed one of them to Percy.
He suspiciously looked at the bottle in his hands.
"Hey Kelp Head, you'll never get the surprise by just looking at the bottle. You gotta take a sip to find out." Thalia stared at him like he was an idiot.
She was sort of uncomfortable with her being the only one talking, but she could feel his pain. Feel his sorrow. She bit her lower lip. Only she knew how he truly felt. They were too similar and yet much too different.
Thalia had mixed feelings about this current situation. On one hand, she was furious that Annabeth would do this to her Percy. Yet, it was because of this that she could finally make her fantasy become a reality. Annabeth never cared about her Percy only she did. Only she wanted him.
When Annabeth and Percy got together, she still felt her heart break into a million pieces. Even if she knew there was something between them. It hurt her to see her best friend treating the most wonderful person in the world like this. He showered her with all the love he had, but she didn't love him the same. For now, she would be the one to comfort him. There was no need to rush it despite her overwhelming desire to make him hers, and only hers. For now... She would let him take all the time he needed before she made her move.
"Can. Can I hear your voice?" Thalia softly asked him while avoiding eye contact.
He snapped back to reality and quickly replied, "Yeah. Uh. Of course." He smiled apologetically. "Sorry. I wasn't really in the mood to talk."
Until, I saw you.
He placed the drink on the edge. "Hey Thals? Can we stay like this for a moment?" He motioned her to stand by him.
Together, they stood side by side mere inches apart while gazing at the moon.
For a little bit, it was just the two of them. The two of them in comfortable silence. Each enjoying the other's company.
After a while he spoke, "You know I'm still underage right?"
"Well, look at you ya goodie two shoes. Would you like an award?" she playfully mocked.
He made a saint-like expression, closing his eyes and putting his palms together as if he was praying. "I do try my best."
She giggled, "I think 18 is good enough age to drink. What do you think?"
"Fine. Just this once," he said making an unwilling expression. Just because its you.
"Sure, sure. Whatever you say, water boy," she stifled a laugh.
Percy took a small sip and let out a satisfied breath.
"Woah... Where'd you even get this stuff from?"
She had an extremely proud expression. "Stole it from Mr. D's secret stash. No biggie."
"Hey. Thals," he stumbled a bit. "Wooahh. I feel suuuuuper comfy right nowe," he slurred.
Thalia started sweating bullets.
Oh shit. He's super drunk. It wasn't that alcoholic was it?
She had no idea she had a super high alcohol tolerance and thus had no idea that it had an ungodly amount of alcohol inside. She also didn't know that this was what Mr. D used when he wanted to get dead drunk. And if it could make the god of wine dead drunk, than it could do the same to a normal demigod. That being said, they were not your run of the mill average demigods. One was technically one of his sisters, and the other was the son of Poseidon. However, Percy had a pitifully low alcohol tolerance despite his specialization with water.
"Thalllliiiiiiiiiaa."
She froze.
"I want. I... Want."
Her head started to go out of control and was overrun by wild thoughts. Her heart began beating rapidly like someone slamming drums in her heart.
What if. What if he asks me to do that?
"Hug.. Gibme."
Her heart almost stopped and cracked into a million pieces right there and then. She was slightly- no. Really disappointed. She almost cursed out loud.
This bastard playing with my heart like that. I outta teach him a lesson.
"Thaaaaliaaaa."
"What," she said irritated.
"Can I?" He stared at her with puppy eyes.
"F-fine." She forced herself to look away.
So cute...
Thalia had no idea that Percy could look so dam cute when he wanted to as she engraved the image into her memory.
If I look too long I might not be able to take it.
He gently wrapped his hands around her waist and pulled her close. Waaay too close. They were essentially glued onto each other, their bodies were pressed together like a sandwich. It also didn't help when Percy started rubbing his face on her hair like a cat.
Right now, Thalia's brain melted and spinning trying to process what was happening. She was frozen and stiff like a statue. Honestly, she had a cuteness overload and let Percy do whatever he wanted.
She came to when there was a bright white flash that blinded her for a second.
At the balcony archway were three familiar heads peeking out at them. She knew they were daughters of Aphrodite but couldn't tell which ones they were because of the flash.
Thalia glared at the trio and mouthed, "When I get my hands on you, you're dead," and made a throat-slitting gesture with her thumb.
The trio stared at her for a moment then stuck out their tongues and giving her the finger before running off.
Thalia didn't notice Percy's loving gaze because she was too focused on driving away those annoying stalkers.
"Thalia. I like your name, Thalia. I like saying Thalia. It makes me feeeeel sooo happy," he whispered in her ear. "Thals. I like your pretty eyes. I-."
She looked him in the eyes and saw his burning desire. His desire for her. She saw stray towards her lips and saw him take a gulp.
Percy went for it. He kissed her with so much passion, it took her by surprise. She would've fell back if not for Percy holding her waist.
An audible gasp sounded behind the kissing pair.
As they stopped, Thalia turned to see one of those stalkers with a phone in her hand.
"You. Hand me the phone."
"Thalia..." he breathed heavily. "Let's... Go somewhere more private."
"But she-"
She was cut off by his lustful eyes staring deep inside her. His eyes begging for something. Begging for her. She looked down in acceptance and in embarrassment.
Percy got the memo and pulled her away and towards his cabin.
He could remember her taste. Her lips were as sweet as sugar but within that sweetness was a hint of fierceness just like her personality. It tasted like. Cinnamon.
Midway towards his cabin, he stopped, making Thalia confused.
"I can't take it."
Before she could say anything, he slammed her against a tree and sealed her lips.
They fought for dominance. Sometimes, the battle would go in Thalia's favor and sometimes in Percy's favor. But it was all for naught as Percy was merely toying with her. Little by little, he began to overpower her in terms of strength and experience and slowly she began to give in. Their hormones were definitely messing with their minds, but they didn't care. They just wanted each other, and nothing could stop them. Not even Annabeth.
They broke away, gasping for air. Thalia's face looked like she was disappointed and wanted more. Her begging face looked extremely cute, and it made his lower half a "little" excited.
"I want to do it."
Thalia was baffled. "Out here? Are you serious?"
"Yeah. I want to."
She was silent. "Alright..."
When she saw his thing, Thalia was gobsmacked and her virgin instincts kicked in. "Percy... I don't think this is such a good idea anymore..."
"It's ok," he reassured her.
"I don't think its gunna fit. I don't think its gunna fi-iiiiiit!" she said in a high-pitched voiced.
It filled her up perfectly and even pushed against her room. It was her first time, and the pain she felt was immeasurable. Tears filled her eyes as she tried to withstand the pain. She tried to suppress her whimpering, trying not to break the mood. Percy noticed and leaned in, intending to distract her from the pain.
She wrapped her legs around his waist, grasping the back of his blazer. "I'm ok..."
He grabbed her and began to move in a rhythmic motion. She began to feel some waves of pleasure throughout her body. But it wasn't enough. She needed more.
"Go faster," she told him.
This wouldn't satisfy her. His gentleness wasn't enough for her. She wanted more.
"Harder. Treat me rougher."
Percy didn't have to say anything, responding with his animalistic desire. His hips thrusting desperately as if it was the only thing he knew how to do.
"More. I want it."
He lowered his head capturing her lips as they fought two battles simultaneously.
"I'm reaching my limit, Thals."
"That's fine. You can come inside," she said frantically.
It's coming. I can feel it throbbing. Its!
Her entire body was enveloped in immense pleasure as she did several times.
As he finished, Percy felt a chill down his spine. He had a foreboding feeling that something bad was going to happen. He suddenly felt the eyes of a predator glued onto him as if wanting to devour him. He was instantly terrified, and his legs went weak.
I'm fucked. I'm so fucked right now.
Somebody.
Help.
Please.
Then, he dragged to his cabin.
T-T
The next day, Percy was nowhere to be found.
