Yeah, this idea has been bugging me for, oh, two minutes. It's torture, torture I tell you!
Chapter 2
Saltwater Tears
Sally Jackson sat miserably in a giant blue recliner. She tucked in her legs to her chest, and began crying.
She had just been told that her Percy was missing.
She was used to him not being at the apartment for some time, but to be told that there is a slight possibility he won't be coming back, that was hard to digest in her brain.
Suddenly, the doorbell rang. The familiar smell of the ocean crawled up into her nose. Grinning slightly, she got up and opened the door.
She sniffled. "Poseidon, what are you doing here?"
"To comfort you. I have never loved anyone as beautiful, smart, charming, char-"
"I don't need a ten foot-long list of the ways you think I'm great."
He smiled. "You were always an exaggerator. I guess that is one thing I love about you that has never changed." And he hugged her.
"I missed you so much," Sally said into his blue Hawaiian shirt. She hugged him back.
"And I missed you. Sally, I know you will decline, but I don't want you to ever go. Ever. I want you to stay with me forever. Just like that one book with the toad on it. Muck Neverlasting?"
Sally laughed. "Tuck Everlasting. But you do realize that in the end, Winnie never drinks the water, dies, and leaves Jesse heartbroken, right?"
Poseidon brushed a stray hair away from her eyes. "Your eyes are still beautiful. Something I will never forget about you."
"You sound like I'm going to die in a couple of minutes."
Poseidon chuckled. "Your humor is charming too. So will you be like Winnie?"
"Ask me again in ten years. Or better yet, just give me some magical saltwater that will make me age back ten years."
Poseidon held her closer. He changed the subject. "Did you know your tears taste like salt the closer you are to the ocean?"
"I thought that was sweat." Sally wrinkled her nose.
"No, sweat tastes like salt no matter where you are. It's your tears that matter."
"Saltwater tears."
Poseidon smiled. "Exactly."
And they hugged each other for about ten minutes.
Awww, so cute! I just love Poseidon/Sally fluff. R to the E to the V to the I to the E,W. Review.
