Annabeth and Percy mutually break up though Percy is still quite upset by it, but remains frienda with Annabeth.
Aphrodite thinks that since that ship has now sailed she should lightly push Apollo to fall for the sad demigod since he now once again...
Percy wakes up once again with the blanket wrapped around him, this time Apollo is there with muffins. "Good morning Percy."
"Morning Apollo." Apollo offers him the box of muffins and Percy picks out a banna nut one much to Apollos suprise. "What? I dont always eat blue ya know."
Apollo grins. "I know."
"Besides. Gotta save the best for last." Percy adds. "So what are you doing today?"
"Im going to teach Meg how to play the piano and visit Camp Half Blood."
"That sounds fun. I miss Camp Half Blood." Percy says looking down.
Apollo frowns thinking, then smiles and says. "Well, maybe this weekened Ill take you to Camp Half Blood. Maybe we can even visit your mother."
"We can?"
"I dont see why not."
Percy smiles. "Id like that."
"Will you like for me to walk with you to class?" Apollo asks.
Percy nods and they go to the collage building then Apollo goes to give Meg lessons.
"Something's bothering you." Meg says halfway through turning to him.
"Nothings bothering me." Apollo responds.
Meg stares at him then crosses her arms. "Don't lie to me."
Apollo sighs. "Meg."
She pouts and sniffles.
"I have a crush on Percy Jackson." Apollo tells her waiting for the teasing to start.
"Percy Jackson? That scary guy with a very nice mom who can cook?"
"Yes that one, and hes not that scary."
Meg shrugs. "I mean if your into that." She mumbles. "Isnt he dating some one?"
"They broke up."
She nods. "And your worried because?"
"You know my history with dating. I suck at it." Apollo says falling onto the piano bench beside her.
"Youve changed though. I think your different than the guy who killed his pregnant girlfriend and made crows black and hate you."
"Thank you for that reminder." Apollo mumbles. "But how does that change my luck?"
Meg frowns and shrug.
"Well enough about me-"
"Wow taking attention off you bet thats new."
"Back to your lessons." Apollo says lightly turning Meg back to the instrument.
Percy walks into his dorm to see Apollo already there laying on the couch and waiting, playing with some kind of metal box that's making music.
"Whats that?"
"Valdezinator, Leo gave it to me. Still trying to learn how to play it." Apollo explains and makes it disappear.
Percy nods and drops his school stuff on the floor. "So, what are you here for I didnt ask you to?"
"Do you want me to go?" Apollo asks sitting up.
"No your alright." Percy says sitting next to him.
Apollo looks down unsure why exactly he was waiting for Percy.
"Are you ok? You havnt seemed this nervous since youve been back to being a god."
"I'm ok. Just have some stuff on my mind that im unsure what to do with." Apollo explains though doesn't really want to tell Percy about his love for him.
"Anything you want to talk to me about?" Percy asks a little concerned.
Apollo shakes his head.
Percy nods. "Ok. Well if you ever want to talk you can."
"Thank you Percy."
Later Apollo is back on Olympus heading to the sun palace when Aphrodite comes up to him. "Hello Apollo."
"Leave me alone." Apollo mumbles.
"But why should I? You're in love now isn't that something to be happy about? you should be thanking me."
"Thank you?"
"Your-"
"This is going to end badly and you know it." Apollo snaps. "You know im going to mess this up and even if I dont, hes never going to want to be immortal, and hell die on his own."
Aphrodite smirks, "well everyone loves a tragedy don't you think?" She sighs, "besides, its not like your hanging around him any less."
Apollo turns and walks away from her but she follows. "Aphrodite just leave me alone."
"Okay fine. Have fun with your boy."
The next day Apollo shows up at Percys without breakfast, "Good morning Apollo, want some?" Percy asks motioning to the French toast.
"Um. Sure." He mumbles and sits with him Percy handing him a plate. "So how are you feeling? Your seeming to be doing better and better?"
Percy shrugs, "I guess I am doing better, like without all out problems I'm just able to relax you know."
Apollo nods. "I got you a present." he says pulling out a box and handing it to Percy.
Percy takes it glancing between the god and the small box, he opens it seeing a golden dolphin necklace. "It's beautiful, but what if I lose it or it breaks?"

"I had it charmed so it won't do either of those things." And also, so ill know if your in danger. Apollo adds to himself.
Apollo gets up and puts it on Percy. "I think it looks really nice on you." He says sitting back down. "Also your a good cook just like your mother."
"Thank you."
When Apollo leaves Percy to go to class Annabeth sees him and immediately sees the necklace. "Did he give that to you?" She asks.
"Yeah why? I think it looks nice. He even said it looks nice."
"Well, a dolphin is one of Apollos animals, and I think that hes flirting with you."
Percy sighs, "Why does it matter Annabeth."
"Im just worried about you Percy. I mean we all know how bad of a track record Apollo has, I dont want you to get hurt.
"I dont even have feelings for him, besides I can take care of myself." Percy says and goes to his class a little annoyed. I dont have feelings for Apollo, just because I enjoy his company and he makes me smile and I feel happier whenhe makes me laugh and smile more than Annabeth has made me happier, and thinking the way the sun makes his blond hair gold and the way his eyes shine makes him absolutely beautiful does not mean I have feelings for him....
