Ambrosia

And If You Don't Love Me Now

"It doesn't have to end here," he said, taking my hand and leading me towards the edge of the roof.

"Does anything really end?" I whispered as he helped me up the ledge.

"I suppose not," he agreed as I turned to him, holding either of my hands,"And we don't have to end here either Amb."

I smiled at him, the street below busy.

"We're not ending."

"Then what are we doing here?"

I leaned my forehead against his, staring into his blue almost black eyes.

"We're falling in love," I whispered, my lips brushing his.

"Now that-" He kissed me"-I'm fine with."

His arms circled around my waist and he lifted me off the ledge. I clasped my hands at the nape of his neck.

"You're fine with everything I do aren't you?" I smirked as he carried me away, bridal style.

He laughed, a loud booming and joyful sound.

"That is up for debate," he chuckled.

"And if I said I loved you?"

"I'd say I love you too."

"Then do."

"Hmmm?"

"Say 'I love you Ambrosia'"

And he didn't even hesitate. "I love you Ambrosia."

I laughed and touched my forehead to his.

"I love you too Percy."

I stumbled to the familiar house, coughing into my sleeve occasionally.

I stumbled up to the door, knocking loudly. Someone inside cursed loudly and I heard the sound of heavy footsteps.

I heard locks being disengaged as the person ripped the door open.

"What do you want?" The person whipped, the door not totally open. The door opened fully and a handsome figure met my eyes.

I opened my mouth to say something but he beat me to it.

"Oh my god...Ambrosia...What happened?" He asked, staring at me in horror.

"N-nice t-to se-ee yo-ou too," I stammered, darkness tinging the version of my vision.

He caught me just as I crumpled, my legs giving out under me.

"Ambrosia..."

"I-I need your-your help..." I begun blacking out, everything fading.

"I'll protect Amb. I promise you."

I managed to acknowledge Percy's voice before darkness completely took over.
