Hey guys! I'm so sorry I didn't update sooner... I'm still having my exams going on and wrote this at 3 am...
Anyway, enjoy.
BTW, I do not own PJO or HOO.
Random Person's POV:
It was the winter solstice. All of the seven, some people from CHB, Nico, Thalia and Reyna were present, Nico as Hades's advisor, Reyna to represent the Romans and Thalia as the Lieutenant of Artemis. It was common news amongst all the demigods that Percy and Annabeth had just recently got engaged, but not formally. The memory was fresh in all the mortal minds, and brought a smile to their faces whenever they thought of the sweet way Percy had proposed to Annabeth.
Presently, every god except Hera, Athena and Zeus knew about this engagement. While Poseidon had happily given his blessing to them, Percy was thinking about how to get Athena's blessing. Even after holding the sky, falling into tart… you-know-where, and pulling a 3-nighter to study for a math exam just to be in the same class as Annabeth in High School had not been enough to show Athena that he was good enough for her daughter.
Actually, even he didn't believe how on Olympus he god so lucky…
A sound of Travis's sneeze got his mind back to the present.
"Bless you," Katie had almost immediately said.
"Aww, thanks Katie-kat," Travis cooed. "Never knew you cared."
As Travis and Katie continued their banter, an idea started forming in Percy's head. He quickly made a mental note to thanks the duo later as he made his way towards Athena.
Athena looked at him with a disgusted expression as he lightly stood beside her gray throne, looking uninterested. Then, out of the blue, he suddenly sneezed loudly.
"Bless you," Athena said, out of habit as Percy startled her.
By now, everyone was looking toward Percy and Athena as a mischievous look came on his face.
"Could you please repeat yourself, my lady?" He asked.
She looked at him impatiently. "I said 'Bless You' you foolish sea spawn."
Percy grinned as he quickly slipped his hand in Annabeth's, who was standing beside him, talking to Leo.
He guided her beside the hearth, where Lady Hestia was sitting, looking at him curiously. Everyone had a clear view of them when Percy looked at Lady Athena and kneeled on the ground.
"Thank You, Lady Athena, for your blessing," He said. Then, looking into Annabeth's stormy gray eyes, He took out a velvety box and opened it. Inside was the most beautiful ring Annabeth had ever seen. It was a simple gold ring with a beautiful stone, which was sea green along he edges and a beautiful gray in the middle. Percy had a sea-nymph take this stone from deep under the sea and asked Leo to piece together the ring.
"Annabeth," he said while kneeling, "You have known me since I was 12 and have always been there for me. You know my every weakness and every strength, as I know yours. I'm not perfect, and neither are you, but together we are more than perfect.
I am chipped. A lot. And it looks like you are the only one who could piece me back when no one could, and today I ask you one thing, something that might change our whole future. Annabeth Minerva Chase, aka. Wise girl, would you, with the witnessing of all these gods, please do me the honor of marrying me?"
After silence for a few moments, she whispered, "Yes," with tears streaming down her face. "Of course yes, you seaweed brain." She said as she laughed and cried at the same time.
Everyone cheered as he slipped the ring on her finger.
Only after kissing Annabeth did he look at Athena's face once again.
For once, her eyes, so similar to her daughter's, were filled with pride as they locked with his.
'You already had my blessing for this, Perseus,' Her voice washed over his mind.
