A/N: We all know that Poseidon and Athena resent each other. But was it always like that? Or did they share something, something that later turned Athena to taking the vows of maidenhood? Here's to one of the most infamous pairings in PJO (besides Percabeth, of course)!
Pothena:
Athena peeked around the corner and giggled. She couldn't wait to tell her sister-in-law, Aphrodite, about Poseidon! Athena heard footsteps approaching, and ran around the corner.
"Oof! What- oh, hello Athena." Flustered and blushing slightly, Poseidon smiled at the young goddess. "What are you doing out in the halls so late?"
Athena blushed. "I- you see, Aphrodite-"
Poseidon gently pressed his finger to her lips. "Sh," he whispered. "We don't want my brother to know you're up this late." Athena nodded silently, watching Poseidon's face intently.
"Poseidon, can we talk, for a moment please?" Athena blushed again and hid her face in her hands.
Poseidon took her hands in his and kissed her palms. "Of course, my Lady. What would you like to talk about?"
Athena stared up at her uncle. "I- oh Poseidon, I think I love you!" Athena pressed her lips against his and turned her face into his jacket.
The god of the seas gently kissed the wisdom goddess. "Dearest Athena, you need be not afraid. I…" Poseidon glanced down. "I love you too," he said quietly.
Athena looked up sharply, wiping tears from her eyes. "You do?" She whispered.
"I think, darling Athena, that I will always love you."
They kissed again and stared deep into each other's eyes. Athena knew at that moment that she would always be safe in Poseidon's arms. Poseidon knew that he would never find a goddess as beautiful or as wise as the one standing in his arms.
A/N: *sobbing* It's just so-so-SO BEAUTIFUL!
Nicole: And sad…*wipes eyes* I wonder what Poseidon could have done to break Athena's heart so badly.
Elizabeth: Well, let's just enjoy this while we can, right?
ALL: RIGHT.
Nicole: I feel like we're forgetting something…
Elizabeth: I guess we'll remember in a few minutes, and the-
Nicole: DON'T FORGET TO REVIEW! I remembered! :D
