The Infinite Proposal Chapter 4
AN: Ahhhhhh *sighs in deeply* The smell of the imaginative stories, the wonderful smell of fanfiction that I had missed… heheheh. It's been a month?
I have a VVVVVVVVONDERVUL excuse… My computer had a problem… BUT, the past is the past ! Now, before you visitors read my next wonderfully delicious chapter, why not vote for who will be the next competitor(s) for Percy? I could make this a love triangle, or square, or pentagon, or hexagon, or etc.
I will not accept Lady Artemis, or Lady Athena… Unless you readers persuade me otherwise. Maybe something rare would suffice, like the ice entity Khione?
Also, I do not like the relationship between Calypso and Leo… I don't know why… But, I'll put Leo with someone familiar…
Last time!
"How are you?"
"Better than ever…"
Hestia didn't believe him. One can only bear so much.
"Think you can handle a few more steps?" Hestia asked hesitantly.
"Sure."
Suddenly, she grabbed Percy's arm.
"Good because we're going to grab lunch."
The streets of eternal Olympus were bustling with activity. Nymphs were running around with hand woven baskets filled with flowers and bread. The satyrs were playing music on their instruments, or chasing nymphs. The minor gods and demigods mostly ran the stores, or were there for fun. All in all, it was a blindingly active day.
Jason, Piper, Leo, and a pretty girl were walking towards a weapon shop that they had seen last time they were here. Jason and Piper were holding hands as they walked, and so were Leo and the young lady. Suddenly, Piper asked a question to Jason.
"Hey Sparky, how long is this walk going to take?"
"Well, if you're that tired, I can give you a ride?"
Piper sighed, "Sure."
Jason grinned with delight whilst Leo and the young lady rolled their eyes. They continued walking towards their destination.
"Hey Lacy, could you charmspeak the cashier for me?" Leo asked (If you do not know who Lacy is, read the Lost Hero.)
"Ugh Leo!"
"Sorry, sorry!" said a grinning Leo.
As they continued to walk, they heard something that would rarely be heard on Olympus. The street was getting quieter and quieter by the second. Soon they were behind a large, silent crowd. Leo stood on his toes to look over the large group of silent people. Walking towards the said crowd were two figures. One was a boy who was dressed in a white t-shirt and blue jeans, had sea-green eyes, muscular and lean boy, and had unruly hair. It was a heavenly sight for girls. The other was a beautiful lady, whom was dragging the boy, had an orange robe on, and had elegant orange eyes with long flowing red hair. Leo could figure out that the boy was none other than Perseus Jackson, the bane of machination. But, he could not recognize the young woman pulling Percy. Jason pulled Leo back down.
"Hey, what do you see?" Jason asked.
"Uh, I saw Percy-"
"WHAT?!"
"Getting pulled along hand in hand by some girl." Leo finished with a glare.
Slowly the crowd in front of them was dispersing to let the two pass. The four also stood to one side. As Percy and the mystery woman passed by, Piper's eyes widened.
"That was Lady Hestia!" she exclaimed.
On the end of the sentence, the whole mob suddenly erupted into chaos. They were all confused on how the goddess of warmth would hold a guy's hand. To silence the people, Jason called forth a thunder.
"Silence!" Jason called.
To avoid the wrath of Zeus and his son, they followed his orders, and slowly went back to their business.
Lacy turned around to her friends saying "Weird huh?".
Percy was having an exercise. He could not have imagined that Hestia was this fast. As he was being dragged around in the streets, people looked at the two curiously. Soon, there were so many people, that he could not see ahead. To avoid embarrassment, Percy just whistled as he jogged. Soon they were free from the mob, and came to a stop at a small restaurant.
"Hestia, can't you just summon food?" Percy whined.
"Yes I can Perseus, but where would be the fun in that?"
"It's P-E-R-C-Y, and I'm still recovering!"
"Are you sure?" Hestia asked "Then we can just go bac-"
"NO, NO!" Percy was just too exhausted.
Hestia chuckled, and the two went into to the restaurant and sat down on a vacant spot. The restaurant was small and cozy. There were about 5 tables with each having a pair of chairs. There was a bar with multiple stools, and a kitchen behind that. Not to mention that the whole place was made out of wood. Soon the waiter came over and bowed to the goddess, while glancing at Percy. They ordered and got their food immediately. Hestia had ordered a shrimp pasta, much to Percy's discomfort. He had order a blue (the waiter looked at him weirdly but still took the order) pizza with tomato, cheese, and a special garlic sauce. As the smell wafted towards his senses, he finally realized that he was away for quite a long time. As they ate, they had small conversations, talking about business on Olympus, and the latest news. Soon, Hestia found an important dilemma that had yet to be solved.
"So… Percy…"
"Yesh?" Percy said with his mouth full/
"Where will you be staying?"
Percy swallowed and sat back in his chair. He brushed his hand through his hair and sighed. His eyes told Hestia that he didn't know where to go. Percy didn't want to go back to Camp… The campers would bring him pity, and would talk behind his back every day. He couldn't live with his mom either, as his scent would bring monsters. Hestia then broke the silence.
"You could stay with me?" she said with a blush.
Percy's face also went red, as he looked away. He thought about it… "It would be safe." he thought.
"I would love to…"
"Great!" she replied.
As they finished and paid, the sun was slowly dimming and setting outside. When Percy and Hestia went outside, they both gasped at its lusciousness. As they watched, their hands slowly met, and their heads slowly turned…
Muahahahahahah! Cliff hanger! Not a big one though… They might not actually do what you readers would think. But the answer will be in the next chapter… Don't forget to review, fav, like, etc. Also say who you want in the love triangle, square, hexagon, etc! SEE YA!
