A/N: Cheers for the reviews. a) don't own a thing, and b) enjoy.
Artemis
I waited back because I had to tell Percy how I felt about him. But my courage had disappeared somewhat. I waited idly as he talked with Posideon and was surprised when he stayed behind. He turned and asked shyly 'May we talk mylady?' offering me his arm. i took it and was instantly englufed in Percys arms as we flashed away. I snuggled in peacefully, just happy to have him near.
When we reappeared, we were in a palace I had never been before. After a moment I realised it must have been Percys palace since I hadn't set foot in it yet. I disintangled myself and stood beside him keeping my eyes to the floor.
'Artemis?' I still stared at the floor
'My lady..'
'Pheobe Artemis will you please look at me!'
I snapped my head up at that. No one was supposed to know that name. stupid mother. I glared at him while he smiled.
Percy
She stood there glaring at me while I silently wished I hadn't called her Pheobe Artemis. Summoning my courage, I cupped her chin in my hand like I did on the chariot five years earlier. 'My lady I will understand if you do not feel the same way, but I love you.' Reaching down, I kissed her for what I intended to be quickly on the lips. I was pleasantlty surprised however when she reached up and deepened the kiss. After a moment, we sprung apart.
Smiling, I put an arm around her shoulders and she snuggled into me contedly. 'You have no idea how long I have waited for that...' she murmured into my chest.
