Chapter 2

Honestly, Y/N just wanted a peaceful day with Harris. Yes, it was a bit awkward to sit along with him and watch the movies after their kiss but she was new to all of this. She didn't know how to react, what to say or how to even handle herself.

All she knew is that the action made her feel...mushy. Although a very cringy word, it was perfect to describe how she was feeling. Currently, she had her head resting on his chest as he stroked her arm. It was slowly becoming comfortable. 

But of course, she didn't have much luck on having a peaceful day with someone she liked. The doorbell rang once.

She looked up frowning at the door. No one was supposed to come at this hour or day. The ringing of the bells started to be hastier, almost like someone was in trouble.

Both of the demigods sighed in unison and looked at each other. Of course.

"I'm getting our stuff," Harris said, "Go and open the door."

Y/N got up heading towards the door, "You'll find my emergency backpack on the right side of the cupboard, and do not-"

"-look at your underwear drawer," Harris chuckled, "I know."

Y/N blushed and muttered, "shut up", as she looked through the peephole. She felt beforehand that something like this was coming. She was getting some dreams, but she ignored all of those as 'nightmares'.

These two individuals were nothing but people who were the cause of her heartache and trust issues at the moment. So ignoring them as 'nightmares' were not exactly unbelievable to her. She was mentally preparing herself to meet with them though.

This would be uncomfortable but she had to do what needed to be done. Opening the door she stared at the two familiar faces. "What now?" she asked, annoyance dripping on her tone.

"We need to leave now," Annabeth informed, "it's an emergency. The half-blood camp is in trouble."

"Okay," she sighed, rolling her eyes, "Let me lock my apartment first."

"Oh yeah," Percy cleared his throat, "Just tell me whatever you need me to grab-"

"Don't worry," a voice came from behind her along with some footsteps, "I got that covered bro."

Oh, their faces.

No doubt about it, Y/N was enjoying the bit of envy that was present in her friends' eyes. But it was not as satisfying when danger was literally lurking over their heads. 

Annabeth seemed to recover from the situation real quick. Although her eyes immediately went towards observing Percy who was visibly blank about the whole situation. Y/N frowned watching both of them. Whatever they had going on between themselves should not affect her at all, but it was.

She was really ready to face all of this head-on but seemed like it was a lot harder to control her feelings. Well, fuck the feels. At least she can still control what action she wanted to take.

"Are you all done with your greetings or do you want to have a tea party now?" Y/N asked. Taking her bag from him, she grabbed Harris' arm and walked out of her apartment, locking the door behind her. 

"What do you think?" Harris whispered to her ear, sliding an arm over her shoulder as they started walking towards the lift.

"Huh?" Y/N was too angry to process anything about her friends. She was just focused on the task she had at hand.

"I'm talking about their reaction," Harris said, "I don't think they look too thrilled about us."

"Since when do we need validation from others to spend time together?" she asked.
