A/N: Yeah finals are over! Thank the gods. Sorry I couldn't update fast enough. Writer's block. Anyways I just got the Blood of Olympus and boy is it good. Anyways R&R and like always, hope you enjoy the chapter. Also I'm very sorry if my chapter titles are...bad...
Lunch was interesting... Let's just say that almost the entire male population in camp half blood was flocking the Poseidon table. Whistles were being called out, flirting was going on. A certain son of Zeus was clenching his fork dangerously tight. And it was not the blonde superman. The other guys were trying to snag a date with her. She was quite beautiful after all. Connor had asked her out on a date as a joke. He almost did a spit take when she agreed.
"But only as friends." She stated.
"Awe but Perci we could have a hardcore relationship filled with pranks and junk food." He pouted.
"Do you wanna go out or not?"
"Yes!" He said quickly. "How about we go out for pizza?"
"Sure, but pull anything and I'm going to sucker punch you so hard that not even your brother would recognize you."
"What a woman. I like em feisty."
"Yeah, yeah, now let me eat my brisket sandwich in peace." She shooed him away with a wave of her hand.
"Aye, aye captain!" With that Connor skipped along happily to the Hermes table, where he high fived his brother. The crowd dispersed with a few mumbles of disappointment. A loud snap had echoed throughout the dining pavilion. A broken and crumpled fork left in Tyler's spot. Jason staring wide eyed as he watched his brother stalk off into the forest.
He was grumbling to himself. Staring at the piles of rocks that used to be Zeus' fist. If looks could kill, the rocks would've been vaporized on the spot. Tyler was glaring and cursing, switching from English to Greek.
"Stupid, fucking Connor..." He kept at it for 2 more minutes until he felt like he was going to throw a hissy fit. But no, he kept his cool. Pacing back and forth he thought about the things that Hera had said. Now re-accounting what happened just moments ago. Why in Hades is Aphrodite screwing with my love life!?
A few minutes ago on Olympus...
The goddess of love and beauty had just started to go through her list of pairings. She giggled to herself as she checked on her favorite (soon to be) couple. She practically squealed when she saw them playing twister with each other back at camp halfblood. She had to admit that Leo's idea was a good one. Watching them a bit longer she saw what had happened at the dining pavilion. One thing's for sure. She did not see that coming.
"Hmmm well this is going to be interesting..."
Back with Tyle.
He was currently sitting on the pile of rocks which used to be Zeus' fist. 'Why did she say yes to Connor?...whoa its okay. They're just going as friends nothing is going to happen .' he thought. But I part of him was telling him that Connor didn't deserve her. That he was the one who truly did. He shook the feeling off. If he had dwelled on the matter anymore he would have made a downpour in camp half blood. He couldn't help but think back to when they had seen each other after the little Poseidon incident.
FlashbacK
Tyler stayed in his cabin with Jason, who was still sleeping after several days of hanging out with Leo and Piper. Doing odd jobs like flying up to the roof of the Hephaestus cabin so he could help Leo install a bug zapper among other things. Jason also helped Piper with sword fighting. So it was reasonable to see him knocked out in sleep. Tyler just listened to his music. His day had been filled with Fall Out Boy, Rise Against and Green Day. Then he heard someone knocking on the door of their cabin. He watched as Jason stirred in his sleep. Sighing to himself, he walked to the door and opened it, guessing it was Piper.
"Sorry Piper but Jason's sleepi..." He didn't finish his sentence because Piper wasn't the one standing at the door. But Perci. "Oh...hi." He said awkwardly. A light blush had dusted her cheeks.
"Hey...so...about...last night..."
"Your dad isn't going to kill me...is he?"
"No! No, definitely not." She said quickly. "Besides, I'd never let him do that."
"Phew! Glad I have one less god to worry about." He said in an over dramatic way. She giggled. "Hey, your not hurt from yesterday right? I mean I kind of fell on you..." The both blushed lightly. His voice was filled with concern her heart swelled at the comment.
"No it's alright. I thought I broke my wrist. But it's all good. Just a bruise that's gone now."
"I'm glad."
"So, best friend what do you wanna do now?" She asked.
"How about a sword to spear fight?"
"You're on sparky. Race you to the arena!" She dashed off receiving a 7 second head start.
"Come back here kelp head!" He chased after her and their day was filled with training and laughs.
