Chapter 5: Civilization!
Summary: Annabeth broke Percy's heart. The flock just broke Max's. When they get captured and meet up in the school what happens? Percy has wings in this story. Percy/Max Rated T for language.
Disclaimer: No matter how much I wish I was James Patterson, I'm not, so I don't own Maximum Ride. I'M SORRY IF MAX IS OCC! Also, Rick Riordian is my hero, and I love him, (IN A FRIENDLY SENCE!) but I do not own Percy Jackson and the Olympians.
So yeah. There was some nice Mercy fluff in that last chapter, don't you agree?Holy fucking shit guys. I had writer block for this. And I'm so sorry I'm late. There was a shitload of HW and my little bitch of a muse, lets call her Taylor, shoved a story in my face and I have been writing that. So sorry guys!
Ada : You read parts of the first book, and I have no idea why you're scarred and what did I come up with? And you got a cookie at lunch, greedy little shit. Just kidding. Love ya girl.
Percabeth and Fax : Thank you, I appreciate the support.
AJW : ... The depths of. Tarterus are waiting for you. Percy is adorable. And he is so sexy, he just goes with everyone. (Nico is mine Alex.)
Lexie : Fuck you. By the way, just ignore Emma and Ryan. They just wanna get under your skin.
XxXLucyloverXxX : Good.
Moon of Jade : Here is your cookie! (::) And it's ok. We all do that. :)
Percy's P.O.V
Max and I agreed that we needed new clothes. My shirt being ripped to pieces and my jeans in a similar state. Max's were covered in sap, flying in between trees tends to do that. We had been flying in random directions until we had found civilization. People gave us many weird stares, but apparently anything goes in Los Angeles, as we found out we were in. We avoided crowds, because apparently, both me and Max had developed a fear of them after being experimented on, and living in small cages for 5 months. We saw a store that had only a couple people, and went in. I had told Max about being able to vapor travel, so we had developed a simple plan. Max and I had decided to get a cart, and fill it up with clothes and then I'd vapor travel the cart, me, and Max out to a abandoned condo that we had found.
So after piling a shitload (I am in love with that word. Sorry.) of clothes and two lightweight suitcases in the cart thingy, I vapor traveled away with everything and we successfully got back to the condo with everything in tow. I went to flop onto the couch, but I collapsed half way there. If Max hadn't caught me, I would have been Percy pancake on the floor. She dragged my sorry ass to the couch and practically threw me on it.
"What the fuck is the matter with you? You said it wasn't draining!" She was obviously mad, but I saw that she was concerned.
"Would you have done it if I said that it exhausted me?" I asked my voice slightly horse.
"No, you stupid stupid idiot. Tell me next time! God, tell me next time Surfer Boy!" As soon as she said it, she clapped her hands over her mouth and her face turned red.
"What was that Birdie?" I chuckled. She mumbled something unintelligible.
"Can't hear you."
"I said, fuck you!"
I laughed and began to make myself comfy on the couch.
"Oh no mister heroic, you sir, are going to sleep on the bed." She came over tohelp me up into the bedroom, but stopped when I said "No."
She raised an eyebrow.
"Excuse me?"
"No. Two reasons, one, you're a girl. Two, you have been without comfort much longer than I have. Also..." I faded off and put on the 'baby seal face' as Piper dubbed it.
"Please? Please take the bed." I only said a few words and I could see Max's resolve crumbling. She hesitated, but then she finally decided.
"Fine."
I did a little victory dance in my head an resumed making myself comfortable.
"Night Max." I called as she walked into the bedroom.
"Night Surfer Boy." Was the reply mumbled back. I chuckled and slipped into Morphemes' realm.
Max P.O.V.
This has all been so much to carry around. Literally, Percy weighs a ton! But I did get to feel his abs. Anyways, Greek Gods? Just wow. It's like... just... jeez. And to make it worse, I'm completely head over heals for the be-winged Greek hero, Percy Mr. Sexy Jackson. Can you believe it? Me. Just a plain boring girl. Thinking I have a shot with him just because a hear a voice in my head.
Seriously.
I lay in bed thinking about Percy tossing and turning. I finally get up and slip out of the bed, padding silently through the door and over to the couch. I stare at his perfect form for a while, taking in his peaceful face, silky hair and toned body.
"It's all your fault." I spoke aloud. since he was asleep, he wouldn't hear me right?
"Its your stupid good looks and big heart. And you made me fall for you. And that's not fair. Because I don't deserve a happy ending. Because I'm a horrible little shit and you're the son of a god." I laughed darkly.
"Can you imagine? Me and you a weird freak of a bird girl and you. Mr. Amazing and powerful." I squatted down beside him and traced the outline of his face. His strong jaw, study cheekbones, naturally tanned skin, and his eyelids that hid the beautiful ocean depths from view.
"Is it bad that I love you?" I asked, more to myself than him.
"No not particularly." He said eyes fluttering open. I let out a yelp and jumped back, startled.
"How... how much of that did you hear?" I asked my voice horse and anxious, dread feeling my body.
"Enough. But I gotta say. It's a good thing I love you too."
I fell to my knees from shock. "What did you say?" My voice choked out in a whisper.
"That I love you too." And as if by magic, he leaned forward and our lips met in a soft kiss. It's like how you read in those romance books. With all the sparks and explosions and stuff. Multiply that by a billion and that's what kissing Percy felt like. When we broke apart, neither of us said anything.
We didn't get any sleep that night.
Yay! I finished! I know it's short, please don't kill me. Anyways, review! Here's cookies to all my wonderful readers. (::) (::) (::)
Kori out!
