Alright by popular demand I'll give you this one first. Thank you for all the reviews, follows, and favorites. I own nothing, except for the laptop I typed this on. Hope you guys enjoy.

Percy's POV

I woke up to the cold, empty feeling of being alone in bed. I rolled over and grabbed my phone off the nightstand to look at the clock. It read 10:30 in the morning and I had 4 missed text messages.

The first was from my mom oh boy Perseus Jackson how dare you get in a fight with mortals at school and not even tell me. Who knew you could yell through texts. You got suspended and think that you can just do whatever you want to. You better be home by the time I get home from work tonight. If I hear anything about you fighting anything without fangs I will take riptide away for a month and see how much you like fighting then. I'm glad you're alright though; I'll see you at dinner. That's what is so great about my mom she always is most worried about whether or not I'm alright. Nico is my mom's little project he just doesn't know it yet, so I used that to my advantage when I texted her back, Sorry mom Nico was in trouble and I had to help him, love you see you at home tonight.

The second text was from Paul, Percy just a heads up I let it slip that you were suspended to your mother. Sorry I thought you would've told her. Nice Paul real nice. I sent him a quick one back, It's fine she would've found out eventually, I'll let you calm her down a little for me before coming home.

The third was from Annabeth, Rise and shine sleeping beauty; I left pancakes on a plate in the fridge. Love You; P.S. clean your drool off of my pillow. I laughed at the last part and shot her a text back, How is day one without me Beautiful? That drool was on your side of the bed I'm getting framed.

The last one was surprisingly from Kristen, Day 1 of not having you at swim practice; I'm finally the fastest person in the pool. There is no competition without you here. I sent her one back, Like there is any competition when I'm there, I own that pool.

I jumped in the shower and heated up the pancakes Annabeth left me before plopping down on the couch to enjoy some Tuesday morning TV, hello Price is Right. I looked at my phone and had two messages one from Annabeth and one from Kristen.

(Alright y'all I'm not going to write out the; I responded to her, she said to me because that would get crazy so here is the key.)

-Annabeth to Percy is A-P Underlined

-Percy to Annabeth is P-A Bold Underlined

-Kristen to Percy is K-P Italics

-Percy to Kristen is P-K Bold Italics

A-P Its so slow and boring without you here, what are you doing today?

P-A I just showered and am watching Bob Barker.

K-P So how is the freedom of no school or Coach Hedge?

P-K Relaxing, just laying around watching TV is great.

K-P That's gotta be the lamest thing I've ever heard of on a day off.

P-K This is just Phase 1 of my plan.

K-P Oh, really and what is on the agenda for Phase 2.

P-K I'll let you know when I come up with it.

K-P Great plan you got there.

P-K Hey its children of Athena that plan I just kinda wing it.

K-P What are you talking about?

P-K Uh never mind inside joke. You act like you could make a better plan.

A-P What are you wearing?

P-A What? Are we about to start having one of those conversations?

A-P No you said you had just showered and I assumed you didn't put on the same dirty shirt from yesterday. Get your head out of the gutter.

P-A OH, well I looked in one of your drawers and somehow about 10 of my shirts and 2 pairs of my sweatpants ended up in there. Which is weird right, do you have any idea how those got there?

A-P Not a clue, Sally must've gotten lost when she did your laundry and put them in my drawer somehow.

P-A Yeah that's probably what happened, she probably drove the 3 miles to put them in there. She is always doing things like that I'll have to have a talk with her.

K-P I know I could make a better plan, it would be the best day off ever. It would be a plan worthy of one of your children of Athena.

P-K Oh yeah what would it be?

K-P Probably a day like yesterday that was pretty perfect.

P-K Yeah it was pretty nice. Look, I know you wanted to talk about something yesterday and I had to leave, any chance you want to meet up and finish that conversation today.

A-P You can take them back if you want.

P-A Oh, I know I could take them back, but I won't. They look way better on you anyway. Besides what would I wear next time I sleep over?

A-P I am sorry, they are just so comfy. You know you could just have your own drawer for when you stay over.

P-A Then I'd need a tooth brush, shampoo, and body wash as well I can't smell like a girl all the time, and I'd feel bad kissing you with morning breath.

A-P We could probably free up some space. I do enjoy waking up curled up next to you.

P-A I enjoy that too.

A-P Why not make it permanent then?

K-P How about you come over after practice and we can talk then.

P-K Are you asking me to move in with you?

K-P No, Where did that come from?

P-K Sorry, I didn't mean to send that to you, I'll see you after practice.

P-A Are you asking me to move in with you?

A-P Well you did ask me to marry you, don't you think we should figure out if we can stand living together.

P-A Yeah I guess, but even if it is tough living together I'm still going to marry you, because I know I can't live without you.

A-P Your so cheesy. I don't want to live without you either though. Does that mean that you'll move in?

P-A How about you come over to dinner at my place, and we'll discuss it more there.

A-P You just want me to be there so Sally doesn't kill you for getting suspended.

P-A That never crossed my mind, but I like the way your mind works. Now you have to come to dinner.

A-P I Have to? Do you really think you could make me?

P-A Yes you have to, it's a girlfriend law, you have to cushion the blow of an angry mom for your boyfriend. I don't make the rules; sorry you don't have an option.

A-P Well since it's a law, what time are you picking me up?

P-A Let's say 6:30, as you requested I'm breaking the news too Kristen today that I'm off the market.

A-P That's good, just be gentle, you have been known to be a little tactless.

P-A Slow and steady got it. Talk to you later, love you.

A-P Love you too, see you at dinner.

After Practice

I pulled into the parking lot at 4:30, just as the swim team was walking out the gym doors. Everyone waved at me and I waved back as Kristen came over and hopped into my car and we exchanged "Hey's". "So how did the team look without me?" I asked as I drove out of the parking lot.

"Well not like National Champions, but we could probably hold our own in the District and maybe even the State tournaments. Must just be my great captaining." We both laughed at that.

We joked back and forth as I drove and just made small talk. I pulled into a Starbucks parking lot, I know she said her house but I felt like if Annabeth was right about the way she felt, and Annabeth is usually right, I didn't want to be alone when she was talking about it. "Come on, I've been cooped up inside all day. I needed to be out in public for a bit." She looked at me a little questioningly, "Come on, it's my treat."

"Well if you're buying." She laughed and followed me inside. She got a coffee and I got a fruit smoothie, coffee and ADHD don't mix to well.

We sat down at a table in a quiet corner out of the way of the main traffic so we could have some privacy. We made small talk for a little bit and then I decided to breach the subject I'd been dancing around since we got here.

Kristen's POV

Percy had picked me up and we quickly fell into our usual easy joking and talking. When we got to the Starbucks he had acted almost nervous to be around me, like he knew about my feelings. I don't care though, that's why we are meeting up anyway so we can talk about how I feel. Regardless of the consequences I'm going to tell him how I feel today.

I couldn't help but keep thinking about his text earlier, she wanted him to move in. This could be my last chance.

We had just been making small talk then all the sudden he cleared his throat, "Look Kristen, I'm sorry I had to leave so abruptly yesterday, you were saying that you liked somebody."

Here we go, "Yeah Perce I do really like somebody, I've kinda liked them for a while now but just haven't had the courage to say anything."

"Oh thank gods" he said cutting me off and letting out a huge breath, "I knew you liked somebody, Annabeth had this crazy idea that you liked me, can you believe that?" He asked with a little laugh.

"She said that I liked you?" she said that she hadn't told him.

"Well kind of I asked her who she thought you liked and she said me." He gave another little laugh.

"Percy," I said serious to get him to look at me, he had no idea how much his laughing hurt; "I do like you. Annabeth is right, can you really tell me that after the past 3 years you don't care for me at all. I mean just think about how easily we get along, nothing is forced it's so natural." I said and I could feel the tears forming but I didn't let them fall.

His face showed complete shock but he quickly shook his head and composed himself. "Kristen, I'm sorry I do care about you," Hope "but not the same way, I care about you like a sister." Hope crushed. "Your one of my best friends Kristen and I don't want to lose you, but I love Annabeth, I'm marrying Annabeth. It wouldn't be fair to you to drag you along, so you have to know that all we will ever be is friends."

I was about to say something back, when the door to the coffee shop opened and a lady walked in. When she walked in everything seemed to become still for a moment and I could see Percy tense and put his hand in his pocket and make a fist like he was grabbing something. He turned his head around to face the door and when he saw the woman he groaned and turned back around looking tense.

She wore jeans and a white blouse and she was walking right towards our table. From Percy's reaction I knew that he knew her, and from her startling grey eyes I knew that this was Annabeth's mother.

She stopped right next to our table and looked right at Percy ignoring me, "Perseus Jackson" she said in a tone that made me want to curl up in a ball.

Percy didn't back down he looked her straight in the eyes, and if I wasn't imagining things he gave her a little bow for some reason. "What can I do for you, Lady A?" he asked pausing and looking at me before saying her name.

"I was coming to remind you of our arrangement this weekend, I expect you there at 7 A.M. sharp and not a second late. Come alone, it will take all day. Or is it not even necessary" she asked gesturing towards me with a nod, "have you moved on from my daughter or are you cheating on her." The threat in her voice was so intense I couldn't believe he didn't flinch.

"No I'm not cheating on Annabeth. She is just a girl from school. I'll see you at 7." I didn't think she would take his dismissal but she did, to my surprise she turned and walked out with one more death glare at Percy. "Meet Annabeth's mom, as you can see she loves me. Whoa where are you going?" he asked as I stood up.

I was pissed about how he called me just a girl from school, not a friend just a girl. "I can't believe you Percy."

"What did I do?" he asked standing up.

"I can see you really care about me saying I'm just a girl." I said angry spinning around to leave.

"I told you you're like a sister to me Kristen." He said grabbing my arm to keep me from walking out.

What I did next shocked us both; I went in and kissed him right on the lips. He didn't pull away, probably because he was shocked. I pulled back and looked him right in the eyes that were full of shock.

"You have feelings for me you're just scared to face them. If a sister kissed you on the lips you would fight it and you didn't. Why don't you think about that Percy?" with that I turned and ran out of the coffee shop with him still standing there shocked.

Oh I am such an evil bastard, bring on the flames. You all asked for the talk between them you got it. Poor Percy. I'll update for you when I can. Thanks for reading.
