Percy Jackson x Shy! Reader

Summary: You're constantly getting picked on for being shy and seen as weak but Percy always stands up for you. 

Warnings: Bullying

Author's Note: Another Percy Jackson imagine. Requested by @JulzLovDraco4Eva. The next available request will be for Saturday since I already have something planned for Friday. 

I walk with my head down through camp as whispers follow me. I was very quiet and shy so most people saw me as weak which led to bullying. The leader of this bullying was Luke son of Hermes. He constantly told me I didn't deserve to be here and that I wasn't a real hero. 

I sit in the strawberry fields and nibble on the strawberries. The sun was bright and was warming my skin and a light breeze ruffled my hair. The strawberry juice stains my fingers and lips and I let out a sigh. 

The strawberry fields were the only place that I could go where I wouldn't be bothered. I had very few friends because of my shy nature but I had three close friends who always stood up to me when I was getting bullied. Percy, Annabeth, and Grover. 

They always stood up for me, but throughout being close to them I had developed a crush on Percy. Percy was the most popular camper, the exact opposite of me. Outgoing, approachable, easy to talk to, and everything I wasn't. I knew Percy would never like me as more than a friend and I was too shy to even bring up the subject to him. 

I'm walking back to my cabin when I feel someone shove me from behind. I land on the ground and I flip over to see Luke staring down at me smirking. He says, "Watch where you're going." 

I feel anger bloom in my chest as I stand up and rush towards Luke. As if he's expecting my attack he effortlessly steps out of the way. He shoves me to the ground once more and this time I can't catch myself my nose hits the ground and I feel blood start to flow from my nose. 

Luke is grinning from above me and I hear him say, "Why do you even bother? You'll never be a real hero why don't you just leave?" 

I can't help it I feel tears start to fall which causes Luke to grin if possible even more as he says, "Aw are you going to cry and prove to me how weak you are?" 

Before Luke can gloat anymore I hear a voice shout, "Hey!" Luke turns around and gives me one last look before walking off. 

I feel a pair of hands helping me to my feet and based on the smell of saltwater I know it's Percy. I turn away from him not wanting him to see my bloody nose but he sees anyway. He says, "Come on." 

I walk with Percy until we reach his cabin and I walk inside while Percy goes to the bathroom. When he comes back he's holding a washcloth. He sits on the bed next to me and begins wiping the dried blood from my face. I look at him and say, "You don't have to help me." 

He says, "I want to." I felt my heart drop knowing that he was doing it because he was my friend and nothing more. Percy finishes wiping the blood away and sets the cloth down. I clear my throat as I say, "Thanks for standing up for me." 

Percy says, "Of course." He looks down for a moment before leaning forward and kissing me. The kiss is short and when he pulls away I'm stunned. I stare at him for a moment trying to comprehend what just happened. Percy's cheeks are red before he says, "I'm sorry but I like you." 

My mouth drops open as I stare at him not believing that he likes me. I manage to collect my thoughts enough to say, "You like me?" Percy nods his head and I look down before saying shyly, "I like you too." 

Percy's whole face lights up and I feel him take my hand. I hear him ask, "Would you like to go on a date with me?" 

I feel butterflies in my stomach as I nod my head in agreement. Percy seems relieved that I've agreed to go on a date with him. He says, "Well I'll come by your cabin at seven." He leans forward and kisses my cheek before jumping up from his spot and walking out.
