Sorry I kept it from you- Harry Potter & Percy Jackson crossover

Everything Fucked Up (VIII)

Everything fucked up

"Stop asking why they keep doing it and start

asking why you keep allowing it."

Percy and Annabeth sat on their Airplane seats; Will and Nico behind them; Jason and Piper a couple of seats in front of them. They had arrived at the airport a couple of hours ago, where they spent some time with their mortal parents.

Piper's father took the news pretty well– not that he actually knew what her daughter was about to do, For all, he knew Piper is going on a week-long school trip to England–, hugging her daughter; meeting her friends and boyfriend (who he threatened to get killed if he ever hurt her); wishing her a good trip, and giving her some money.

Will's and Percy's mothers didn't take the news that well. They, knowing about the godly world and that their sons were going on a quest that could get them killed, were not thrilled with the idea. Sally had been a crying mess – as had been Percy –, hugging his son, and his girlfriend as if her life depended on it, which it did. She had just got him back, she didn't have the strength to let him go that fast. It wasn't fair, she had the right to keep her son with her, by her side, where she knew he wouldn't get hurt. Naomi had not cried, she hugged her son and then his boyfriend, who she politely (not) asked not to hurt his son.

Now on the plane, really high in the air, with no space Percy could run to and without any more tears to spread, Annabeth decided to have a difficult conversation with Percy.

"Percy" she called, Percy opened his eyes, turning his head to face her

"what?"

"We need to talk"

"Are you breaking up with me?" he asked, his heart rate increasing

"no Percy I am not"

"oh okay, go on"

Annabeth takes Percy's hands on her's "just hear me out, okay?"

"okay" he promised

"you know I am trying to convince you to go to therapy..."

"NO" Percy interrupted

"Percy, let me finish" she ordered

"fine"

"but it's clear you don't want to, so, if you're up to it... we could do it together, as we promised we would, we would go through this together, we would both be showing our vulnerabilities, we would both be showing how broken we are, we would be both healing, together" she gave him a sweet smile "what do you think?"

Percy sighted "Annabeth... I- Even if I accepted, it's not the time. We are engaged in another quest, that, by the looks of it, is going to end in a war, it's not the time to go in war with our feelings"

"exactly, we are probably going to war, the more control we have over our emotions, the stronger we are" she took a deep breath "just think about it"

"I will think about it, I promise"

"thanks"

...

Hours later they arrived in London. Percy being the first one to get out, closely followed by Nico, both of them looking ready to throw up. Jason, Piper, Will, and Annabeth walking behind them, hiding their laughter.

"ugh, I am never taking a plane again" Nico complained

"We still have to go back" Will remembered him
