♫ Sensitive- Dreamer Isioma

percy was starting to get really frustrated.

you met percy a few years ago. when he first arrived at camp, you were the one who gave him the tour since chiron was busy. you went with him on the first quest he’d gone on, and you guys just grew closer from then on.

the crush just crept up on you. the little moments made the biggest impact. the quiet conversations late at night, the glances from across the room, the fact he always seemed to choose you in quests, even when it wasn’t the most relevant choice.

you accepted it. you knew you liked him. but percy? oh, he was quite oblivious. you didn’t even know if he was oblivious or just in denial. even when meeting aphrodite and seeing that she resembled you, he still couldn’t connect the dots. that’s the way it was for a few years

the battle of manhattan. everyone was scattered, trying to defeat kronos and heal people. you and percy had a moment, wether or not he wanted to admit it. he was showing you his Achilles Spot, which was at the small of his back. the second you touched it, you felt his skin tingle. yet, he didn’t pull away.

this was probably when he realized how he felt. maybe something clicked in his head, you weren’t sure. but, he’d never been paying enough attention to even consider the possibility of you liking him back. when you guys got back to camp and everything was restored, most of camp was pressuring him to tell you how he felt.

after some resistance, he finally told you. it was underwater, he’d made a bubble of air for you guys and finally confessed. and you guys had the best underwater kiss imaginable. you guys began dating after that, and everything was pretty amazing.

percy became an even better version of the one you fell in love with. in capture the flag? he’d give you a bit of a fight before letting you win. at sparring practice? he’d make that one fair, sure, but would let you get in a few hits just so you could gloat. when you were just on a walk? he’d find some way to make a flower a big gesture. some nights, you guys would sneak out to sit on top of the cabin of your roof, passing snacks back and forth.

percy was perfect for you. he had no flaws. well, maybe one. but it really wasn’t his fault!!

long before you and percy even began dating, people would hit on you constantly. they’d come up to you, giving you a sly wink and horrible pickup line. you’d usually brush them off, already having the crush on percy. but they never seemed to stop.

in fact, it seemed to only escalate when you got with percy. it turned from “wanna go out?” to “oh, your little boyfriend doesn’t have to know, does he?” percy never intervened, due to your request. you thought yourself capable. and it really pissed him off. not at you, but at everyone else. they were always trying to take what’s his, it seemed.

today was no different!

during a game of capture the flag today, you were running to the flag when someone shoved you to the floor. you heard swords clashing, and footsteps retreating when someone from your teams reached their hand out to help. when you took it, they pulled you in. not percy.

“cmon, i thought you were smarter than that” the boy said with a wink. your fight or flight reflexes went off. fight, of course. you pulled away and twisted his arm behind his back, shoving him forward before scoffing and running to the flag again. percy watched from a distance, thought you didn’t realize.

after the game, you’d finished taking off your armor and weapons when the same boy came up to you, flirting again. you kept just brushing him off, saying you were already taken. he kept stepping in your way, not letting you go. you didn’t feel like more violence, but you weren’t sure what to do

that’s when you heard a familiar deep voice clearing his throat, followed by an arm wrapping around your shoulder and being pulled in, then a kiss to your cheek “hi, pretty girl. who’s this?” he asked, giving the guy a death glare. gods, was this finally percy’s last straw?
