"Perc- Lord Perseus, what's going on?" She asked as I dragged her over to our place. I just shook my head, not able to find the words to describe what was going on. I was going over a million scenarios in my head. What if she rejected me? What if she accepted? How would camp react? Gods, being a god is hard.

We finally reached our place and I sat myself down, letting go of my grip on her hand. I motioned for her to sit and she did without question.

"Do you ever think about what would happen if you didn't become a god?" She asked, looking me in the eye but flinching slightly at their new colour. Of course, I must remind her of Kronos. I looked down while I answered. I didn't want to scare her anymore.

"All the time, I would probably be practicing my sword fighting-" I started but she interrupted me. She's lucky I'm not like the other gods. They`d probably blast her for interrupting them. Luckily I still act human… For now at least.

"No, I mean what would happen with us" She said, looking awkward.

"What about us?" I said quietly.

She looked me dead in the eye and stayed silent only saying two simple words,

"You know"

And then waiting for me and my godly brain to figure out that great enigma. Did she mean us as in…? I thought back to our confession session we had as I was dying.

Oh, well I never thought id be having this conversation with Annabeth…

I cleared my throat and hoarsely answered.

"Yeah… Actually I've got something to ask you to do with that…" I nervously looked back to her.

She nodded as if to say `shoot`. So I did.

"My gift… Well, you know Dionysus made his wife-"

"Ariadne" She said, I looked at her with a raised eyebrow.

She sighed "Her names Ariadne"

I nodded and went on with my little talk, or… proposal.

"He made her immortal. Well my gift…" I couldn't quite manage to choke the words out.

"Spit it out, Lord Perseus" She said loudly, with something lacing her tone I couldn't quite put my finger on.

"Do you want to be my immortal wife?" I said quickly and quietly, stumbling across my words.

I kept my eyes on my lap, waiting for her to make a life changing decision.

"Perseus, I don't know… this decision, its big" She said breathlessly.

I look up at her, now able to stop my grin and the words tumbling out my mouth.

"Wow. Annabeth Chase, daughter of Athena doesn't know something"
She half-heartedly hit me on the arm then shook her head.

"I don't know whether to say yes or no, Lord Seaweed brain"

She actually looked torn.

"Maybe I can help you make your decision" I said and leaned forward and kissed her.

She put her arms round my neck and I grinned inwardly.

When we broke apart she gasped.

"That was something"

We had our foreheads pressed together and our lips a few inches apart. Oh my god.

"Annabeth" She looked up into my eyes, seemingly not afraid anymore. "You don't have to accept, if your happy I am too. Take all the time you need to make your decision. But remember I'll wait for you, but I won't wait forever. Live life normally first, ok. Get a boyfriend. Go somewhere out of camp which isn't a quest. You know, normal stuff"

She nodded numbly as I kissed her on the cheek, winked and walked back towards camp. I heard her running up beside me and smiled at her.

I wonder if she will say yes… Half of me want her to, but another half of me wants her to be normal for once. It's up to her now though…

I just realised, i forgot a ring... I`ll find her one eventually. Hopefully.
