hell. walking past you the day after you two broke up, the same place you two got together had to be one of the most painfully awkward moment's percy had ever experienced. it hadn't totally ended on bad terms, just- caused a few tears to spill from your eyes and caused you to seem as if you hated his guts; which in turn made him hate himself from breaking it off even more.

you looked pretty. you had, in fact, looked pretty in his eyes ever since he met you on the first day of camp, ever since you two had been friends. you even looked pretty the day you two broke up, even with tear soaked eyes and mascara stains on your cheeks. hell he didn't know someone could look so pretty at their most vulnerable moment.

seabrain still liked to pretend like he didn't like you, he had to walk past you without making eye contact which was hard because he couldn't help but stare. you looked perfect, he wanted to run up to you, cover your neck in kisses and tell you how beautiful you were over and over again. but- after all he couldn't, because you weren't his to kiss anymore. and he was scared you never would be again.

it was his fault though, he knew it, you knew it, hell even annabeth knew it.. i mean she was why you two broke up in the first place. he thought that you two had gotten together too soon after his very.. extravagant break up with annabeth; well he didn't think it was a huge deal, all he did was spare with her, go on some quests from time to time. but you hated it, and it seemed like now you hated him too.

that's why when he walked past you, at the beach, nearing sundown, nearly the same exact time and place you two had gotten together his stomach flipped. was this somehow the universe- the gods making it a sign that- well- that he should apologize for breaking it off. in his chest, in the bottom of his heart and in his brain even he knew that you two were meant to be- that's why without thinking- like an idiot he grabbed your wrist, making you face him.
