Crazy trouble with love part 4
Hebe and Percy
Series: Percy Jackson
xxxxxxxxxxxx
Hebe rubbed her hands with a smile. 'Alright, time to pay Percy a little visit.' she then walked off and went to her room which was full of fountains and posters of Percy in swim trunks. 'And maybe do some redecorating or I'll look like a weirdo.'
She snapped her fingers as the posters changed into poster's of cute little peachicks. 'Perfect, Percy will love them!'
She started getting a proper attire together before rubbing her chin. 'Now what could I say to get him to come up here?' She changed her dress from a green one to a cute hoodie with a peacock on it, blue pants, and a shirt with the words You got nothing on this bird on it. 'Perfect.'
She looked herself over and grinned. "Now I'm ready to meet my future boyfriend! But it needs something….Oh I know!" she placed a necklace of gold and sea shells around her neck. "This will be the best first date ever!"
(Later)
-Percy's parent's apartment-
Knock knock knock!
The door opened and showed Sally answering. "Yes?"
"Hello, is Percy Jackson here?" She smiled.
"Yes, who are you?"
'Oh Zeus! I forgot the name!' "I'm….Ganymeda and I'm his...tutor." 'Hope that works.'
"..." she raised an eyebrow. "Tutor for what?"
"Um math. More specifically Algebra."
"Well why wasn't I told beforehand?"
"Oh um he just didn't want you to worry, you know with the whole bullying and stuff from his other schools."
"Who told you that? I never told anyone about it."
"..." 'Fuck.'
"You're not a tutor." scowled Sally while grabbing the knob. "If you're here to hurt my son I won't let you get away alive."
"Hey wait! I'm not here to hurt him!" She said in a panic. "I'm here...for something else."
"Then start talking on how you knew all that."
"..." she sighed before momentarily flashing back to her goddess form. "I'm Hebe, goddess of youth and patriot of brides. And I just...wanted to see Percy."
Sally's eyes widened and she let go of the knob. "Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't expect a goddess to come here. Um, would you like to come in?"
She changed back. "You don't have to be scared, I'm not my mother, even if she's having hard times today." She muttered the last part out loud. "So please, smile."
Sally tried smiling while letting the goddess in. "I meant no offense, it's just, I've learned from my previous husband it's best not to anger any god or goddess, but I thought you were….nevermind."
"You can tell me. I'm not like any of the other 'smite anyone because I'm vain' kind of goddess."
"I thought you were a monster in disguise coming here to kill my son."
She lost her smile at that. "Why would I do that? Kill an innocent child? What kind of person would just come up to someone's door and trick them like that? And with all due respect, if something were to happen well," she pointed to a small pigeon before causing it to revert back to an egg. "I would do the old Iolaus rejuvenation technique on them."
Sally gulped seeing how quickly that happened which just made her more cautious. "Um...right. So, has something come up and you need Percy for a quest?"
"No, but Hera is trying to reconcile with Hephaestus right about now." She counted off. "And I just divorced my bastard of an husband Heracles for sleeping with other women, including a wood nymph. But other then that, nothing life threatening this time."
"Oh, I'm sorry." she said hearing the cheating part.
"It's fine, mother helped with that after I gave her some advice." She smiled. "And by the month's end you might see Hera at your doorstep with some flowers and a lot of apology cards." She then sighed a little. "But could you let me in? It's kind of cold out."
"Oh! Of course." she stepped aside while Hebe walked in and she closed the door. "But if there's no danger or threat, why come for a visit? I mean no disrespect, I just assumed you'd be preoccupied with something else."
"Not really since I'm not the gods cupbearer anymore since Ganymede, or Aquarius as you mortals call him, took my job. So really I got nothing better to do then protect brides of all kinds." 'Even...ugh child brides.' "But I kind of...wanted to…"'she looked a little skittish. "...um...well…."
"Yes?"
"I...Iwanttodateyourson!"
Sally's eyes widened in shock while Hebe blushed. "I...beg your pardon?"
"Yes, I...I want to date Percy." 'Gods, fade me!'
"Um...if you don't mind me asking, why?"
"It's hard to explain completely without...making you think I'm a creep." She blushed. "But to simplify it, I just fell for his kind personality."
Sally nodded since her son did that effect, but felt dread at being considered a creep for some reason. On the other hand she doubted she could stop a goddess from dating her son, but that didn't mean she wouldn't try. "Well, he's relaxing in his room right now."
"Oh….well, um…" 'This is awkward.' "Could I...see him?"
"Of course."
She smiled at that. "Thank you miss Jackson. It really means a lot." she turned and walked away while pondering which door was his room.
(With Percy)
Said hero was currently sleeping on his bed while a text book was on his face. Hebe poked her head in and smiled while he gave a small snort.
'So cute.' She thought while sitting next to him. 'And kind of handsome up close.'
Percy kept snoring while she carefully picked the book off without waking him. He moved to the side while Hebe chuckled at the cuteness.
'Cute now, but he'll be quite the looker when he gets up there.' She thought before seeing his eyes open slightly. 'Looks like he's waking up, he's cuter doing this.'
"Mmm, what?" he blinked seeing a woman looking down at him and looked at her awkwardly. "Um, hi?"
The woman smiled at that as Percy took a better look at her. She was a bit shorter then him with short blond hair, a green hoodie with a peacock on it, a pair of blue pants that showed off her very large ass, her white shirt looked a little loose near her C cup chest, her brown eyes looked like the kindest person on earth was looking back at him. "Hello Percy, sleep well?"
"Yeah." he slowly nodded with a blush. "Um, who are you?"
"Oh well you might be surprised but," she looked around before flashing back as her outfit changed to a long green dress as her tattoo was shown. "I'm Hebe, goddess of youth, patron of brides, and child of Hera." 'Hope that was a good introduction.'
"Hebe?" he sat up with surprise. "What are you doing here, if you don't mind me asking."
"Oh just here to see you. And don't worry, I asked your mother about letting me in and seeing you." She half lied. "So here I am Percy."
"Well I mean, why? Is there a quest you need me to do?"
She shook her head no. "I just wanted to see you, plus I just got a divorce on my ex, Heracles."
'Hate the guy.' Percy thought while recalling how Zoe was hurt by the guy. "Then a congratulations in order, I think?"
Hebe smiled. "Thanks, that coming from you brings me much joy."
"So why me exactly? I don't think we've talked other then now."
"Because you're a kind person. One that saved Olympus and kept WWIII from occurring. If that's not a good reason why, then I don't know what is." She said seriously. "So don't think anything less than that Percy!"
"I wasn't." he remarked. "I was just curious."
'Damn it!' "Oh, I'm sorry Percy. I just...got too into it."
"Huh?"
"Nothing, so Percy." She said while moving closer to him. "Are you single as well?"
He felt a little uncomfortable at that. "Um, do you mean in a relationship?"
"Yes." She smiled. "That's what I mean Percy."
"...are you trying to hit on me?" He asked before seeing her look flustered and red in the face. "You are."
"..." 'What should I say!? I mean this wasn't part of the plan!'
'Is this real or some crazy dream?' He thought before poking her green peacock tattoo.
"Eep! Percy?!" She blushed while feeling a little ticklish.
'It's not a dream.' he thought before reeling his hand back. "Sorry! Sorry, I just thought...this was a dream."
"It's fine Percy, I'm not mad." She said shaking her hands. "It just surprised me a little since….I'm a little ticklish there."
"Really?"
"Yes." She blushed. "Like how ticklish you are near your left cheek."
"Wait, how do you know that?"
She gulped and looked away. "Um...I um...heard it from Eros?"
"...that was a bad lie." he remarked.
"...um….I…" she gulped before pulling out a wallet with tons of shirtless pictures of Percy. "I'mamassivefanofyoursPercy!"
His eyes widened and his jaw dropped seeing the pics and was blown away since some of these had him in swimming trunks or even his underwear. 'What the hades?!'
"Percy, I'm sorry but you're just...so handsome and amazing. I just couldn't stop...being your fan." 'Any god out there hearing this, smite me!'
'Oh man, I have a goddess who's a stalker.' He thought in dread. 'That's worse than hearing then Nancy being a stalker….ok that I didn't need to think about!'
'Oh he's thinking I'm crazy. Yep I'm tempted on fading right here and now!'
"That's….awesome." he managed to get out.
She looked at Percy in shock. "W-What?! You thought...it was awesome?!"
"Um...yeah?"
"But why? I thought you would hate that."
"Well it was shocking but I'm fine with it. As long as you didn't peep on me in the shower."
"Um….of course not." She turned away. 'I so did.' "Why would I do that? I'm not a peeping tom like some goddess."
"Are you sure?"
"Of course!" She said with a snap. "I didn't peep on you in the shower!"
"Ok ok." he held his hands up. "I believe you."
Hebe sighed. "Sorry about that. I just...wanted to try and keep the appearance of a kind goddess so that you can be impressed by me. But now that you know I stalked you…"
"Again, it's cool. I mean really I didn't expect anyone, a goddess no less, to go out of their way like that for me."
"Well I use to think about other minor gods, but none of them stuck out like you."
"Really?"
"Yes, especially your very cute eyes."
That made him blush and smile at the compliment.
"That and your handsome face. You could make Adonis cry with that face and body." She said before blushing. 'Crap! I had to say THAT out loud!'
'Wow, she's really serious.' "Thanks, and to be honest, I think you're really...would you smite me if I say this or not?"
"I'm not one for smiting, but I might make you a toddler again." She joked.
'Ok, that scared me.' "Well when you put it that way...I think you're really….beautiful."
"..."
"Hebe?"
"..."
"Hebe? Are you ok?" Percy asked while not knowing he just made her mind break from the compliment.
'He called me beautiful. Oh gods...he really said it!' she thought with a smile. "Percy, does that mean you'd be open to the idea of us dating?"
"Well if mom's ok with it then...maybe we could date?"
Hebe's eyes widened before hugging him. "Thankyou Percy! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!"
Percy groaned from the tight embrace and felt his eyes cross. 'This is…..so nice.'
(Later)
Hebe smiled in her eagle form as she flew all the way from Las Vegas to New York in record time. And just in time to meet Percy for their fifth date together. 'I hope I can make it on time though.'
Said boy was outside his apartment dressed nice with a bouquet of flowers. 'I hope Hebe likes this Rose and Ivy combo.' He then saw an eagle fly towards his apartment before it landed and turned into his girlfriend who was now wearing a fancy green and blue dress.
"Sorry about that Percy, got held up in Vegas for...personal reasons." She smiled before seeing the bouquet. "Aw Percy, how thoughtful. Now did you know I like ivy?"
"Well it helps when I do some research and take a wild guess."
She smiled before kissing his cheek. "Well you just made me happy Percy. And the date didn't even start yet."
"That's the best part."
"Well," she smiled while holding his hand. "Let's get going, I'm really excited what you're planning to take me tonight."
"It's just a restaurant my mom likes. Nothing special except for the lobster."
"So it's Red Lobster?"
"Yes."
"That's sounds great Percy."
"And I'll be paying for it all."
"What a gentleman." She smiled. "That's why I fell for you Percy dear." 'Even if I wanted to do that for you.'
Both of them walked down the street before reaching the restaurant which wasn't as busy as usual.
"Hello," spoke a waitress with blond hair and looked kind of familiar. "Welcome...Percy Jackson?"
"Mother?" Hebe said in surprise. "W-What are you doing here?"
"I work here part time, better then being around Zeus all the time."
"Working at a mortal restaurant as a waitress then be near him. Yeah I can actually see that." remarked Percy.
Hera looked at him with a stern expression. "I know you and my daughter are close now but I recommend not doing anything that would make me regret making my dear daughter pick you out of all men on earth."
"Mother!"
"I'm being very clear and subdued. If I was more angry I would have made you run into traffic and let a car hit you."
Percy gulped. "Noted." 'Really scary, and I thought she was cool with demigods now.'
"Mother, can we just get a table?"
Hera nodded while walking them over to a booth in the far corner near the window. "I'll be right back. A lot of these mortals really love the lobster today."
'Makes sense.'
Hebe watched her mother walk away from their table while taking a look at the menu. "Mmm, should I get fried tilapia or the lobster special?"
"I heard great things about the special."
"Really? Then I'll get that with a side of beer."
"You drink that stuff?"
"Of course, I'm a former cupbearer of the gods, I drink on my breaks."
'She's got me there.' "Well I'll also get the special as well but with a side of root beer."
"That's kind of silly right now. I don't mean that it's bad but I expected you to be more adventurous."
"I'd rather not."
"And that's a smart thing." Spoke Hera while appearing next to them. "If you got a beer I dread the notion of you doing something to my daughter before you officially wed, with my approval that is."
"Mother!"
"Just being a caring mother Hebe." She sighed. "Now what do you want to order tonight?"
"Um the lobster special." Percy said. "Both of us would like that."
"Alright, it'll be done shortly." Hera said while walking off.
"That...really was awkward." Percy admitted to Hebe. "And really scary."
"Don't worry, you'll get use to her." sighed the goddess. 'But I still haven't.'
"Really?"
"Positive, plus who knows? She might get used to you."
"Hope so." He said before changing the subject. "So what was this business you had in Las Vegas?"
She blushed. 'Should I tell him?'
'Wait! If it's secret you'd just be prying.' "On second thought, I won't push the issue."
"No no, it's not a secret but…" she looked away before sighing. "Hadra was making love with her children from WWII."
"...huh?!"
"It's true."
"Hadra has kids? But the pact-"
"They are from before she made it. And they are named Nico di Angelo and Bianca di Angelo. Sweet kids but they didn't know it was 2006 until just today." She sighed. "And one thing went another and then I left they were about to go one to round two."
Percy blushed while trying not to imagine the images. Which failed miserably.
"Percy? Are you ok?" 'Yep should have just kept my mouth shut.'
"Y-Yeah!"
"Sorry, I really didn't mean to get you embarrassed."
"It's fine, really."
'I hope so.' She thought before asking. "Percy, if I was a mortal girl? Would you like me still?"
"Of course, why wouldn't I?"
"I just thought you I don't know," she pulled out a picture of Annabeth and Percy hugging. "Liked mortal girls better."
He looked at the picture and gulped. "Wait, do you think I like Annabeth?"
She nodded. "You were just so close when I saw you...well would you do the same if I hugged someone other then you Percy?"
"Well if it was just as friends I'd be fine, but if there something else I'd be a little bit bothered."
"Then you and this mortal?" 'If she's someone other than a friend I'll make her a baby!'
"Just friends. Nothing more, plus she's a child of Athena and she would be mad at a 'sea spawn' dating her daughter."
'Oh thank Zeus.' She thought as she saw her mother bringing out the food. "Thanks mother."
"You're welcome my dear. But," she looked at Percy. "I expect no funny business at the table."
"Yes ma'am."
She nodded before leaving them.
"Well, let's dig in."
Hebe nodded as they started eating their meal. Well tried to as cracking the lobster's exoskeleton with a crab cruncher was a little harder then it seemed. "Come on, come on!"
"Do you need help?"
"No I'm fin-"
Crack!
She went wide eyed as the lobster claw shot out and hit Percy in the groin area. 'Oh...my...gods…'
Percy's eyes widened while he let out a wheeze and crossed his legs. 'OH SWEET HADRA!'
"P-Percy?" She said with a mix of concern and giggling. "A-Are you ok?"
He let out a pained moaned and his head dropped to the table.
"Percy!" 'Oh gods I killed him!'
'So much...pain…' he thought while trying to sit up. "I'm….fine."
"Oh gods I'm so sorry Percy! I didn't know that was going to happen!"
"Hebe...let's just...eat ok? I'm really...fine right now."
She just nodded while he started eating his food. Only for the same thing as before to occur, but this time it hit her in the chest. "Ow!"
"You alright?"
"Yes, but was that you getting back at me?" 'Oh I'm going to feel that in the morning.'
"No, I didn't think something like that was gonna happen." He said before seeing her with another lobster leg. "No, don't you eve-"
Smack!
"...this means war you know right?" He said while grabbing a tail.
(With Hera)
'Mortals, annoying sometimes but good tippers.' She thought while finishing up with an order before seeing food being thrown across the table in the far corner. 'Oh my husband no!'
"You're gonna get it Percy!"
"Not before I get you back Hebe!" He laughed while throwing a leg at his girlfriend.
"What are you two doing?!"
They stopped and turned to Hera.
"Um…"
"Mother...we were um…"
"Playing lobster wars." Percy finished suddenly.
She growled and crossed her arms. "You two are on a date, right?"
"Yes." Both said with a gulp.
"And you two are adults, right?"
"Yes."
"THEN DON'T PLAY WITH YOUR FOOD!"
They flinched at that while somehow Percy appeared next to Hebe and hugged her tight. Which was what to goddess was doing as well. "A-Ayi ma'am/mother."
"Now clean up this mess and get back to eating." 'It's like they are children again.'
Both nodded and rushed to clean it up.
(One cleaning and dinner later)
"Now that you're acting civilized again." Hera said with a stern frown. "Would you like desert?"
"No thanks."
"I would like a chocolate cake for the two of us." Hebe smiled.
"It will be about five minutes." Hera said while walking away.
"She looked real mad."
"Well we did start a good fight." Hebe said nervously. "So mother does have a reason to be mad at us, well mostly me since I never did this before in my immortal life."
"Well you never been to a red lobsters have you?"
"No, or really any place this nice. All my ex wanted to do was watch wrestling and have sex. Kind of a bored now that I think about it."
"Yeesh, what a boring way to have fun with a sexy goddess like you." flirted Percy.
"Oh you, you don't mean all that right."
"Maybe I do, but that depends on you." he teased.
She blushed. "Well...thanks for that hot stuff." 'That was bad flirting!'
"Hot stuff?"
"What? I was trying to come up with a nickname for you."
"...well it's better then the nickname I was thinking of giving you Hebe."
"Oh and what's that hot stuff?"
"Sexy cougar."
She blushed hearing that. "W-W-Why that one...exactly?"
"Because you're sexy and you remind me of a cougar hunting it's prey."
"That...That's fine." 'Oh god that felt good...I think I came a little hearing that nickname.'
"Here is your cake." Hera said while putting a small cake in front of them. "I hope this one doesn't get thrown around after it was recently made."
"It won't."
She nodded while leaving the check on the table. "Then I'll be with other patriots then."
Both turned to the cake and were unsure who should take the first bite.
"Percy I think you should take the first bite."
"No no, I insist you take the first bite."
"No that would be rude of me."
Both frowned while they occasionally pushed it towards the other.
After a while they decided what the heck and took a spoon full at the same time. Which was a kodak moment for pictures at the moment.
Both ate the bites and smiled at the taste.
"This is really good." Percy smiled.
"Agreed, it tastes as good as your lips."
"Um what?"
She blushed. "Oh um, I mean since we do kiss and the like I just thought this cake tasted like well your cute kisses Percy."
He chuckled and looked away. "Thanks."
"Anytime, hot stuff."
"You too sexy cougar."
(One long walk later)
"That was a great date Percy." Hebe smiled as they made it back to the apartment. "It was really fun too."
"You said it." He smiled while feeling really happy. "Especially with you here."
Hebe smiled at that before stopping. "Percy, we have to meet the council next month."
"How come?"
"It's about us." She sighed. "If we don't tell them then one way or another we might either get separated, cursed, or well you know how Prometheus was punished right?"
"Yes."
"It might be ten times worse if father found out or anyone else if we keep this a secret."
"Good point."
"I really don't want to lose you Percy." Hebe said sadly. "That's why I wanted to tell you before the meeting."
"Well telling them won't be hard, it's their reactions that are different."
"I know, and I'm just worried that's all."
"Don't be, just stay calm and happy as always and everything will be fine Hebe."
"I'll try." She said before Percy kissed her on the lips.
"Hope you calmed a little from that one my sexy cougar." He said with a smile.
"Oh shut up." she teased. "Well looks like I have to give you a little gift."
Percy looked confused before getting kissed on the lips.
"Perfect right hot stuff?"
"I don't know, I might need to do it again just to be sure."
She giggled before they kissed again, just as a camera flash occurred with Sally holding her phone up.
"This is a keeper for the scrapbook."
"M-M-Mom!"
"M-Miss Jackson!"
"Well I'll just let you two kiss, or do you want to stay here for the night?" She asked with a wink.
Both groaned with red faces. 'This is so embarrassing!'
