Usually at camp halfblood there's always SOMETHING going on, so to hear absolute silence in your cabin is surprising. You walk around camp, not quite sure what's going on, until you feel a prescence behind you. You strike with your Celestial Dagger, only to find it caught by the one and only, Percy Jackson. "Perseus Jackson! Don't sneak up on me like that. I could've killed you!" He flashes his perfect pearly white smile. His sea green eyes meet your (e/c) eyes. "Stop exaggerating (y/n)! I would've dodged it either way". You scoff.
"Do you know why everything is so quiet today?" You ask curiously. "Yeah. Most of the cabins went off on some silly trip with Chiron. I decided not to go. How about you?" "I decided not to go too" You had no knowledge of this trip, and had slept in all morning, so to have objected would've been your initial response anyway. "So we're here alone?" You'd secretly had a crush on Percy Jackson ever since you came to Camp. The only people who knew were Piper, Annabeth and Jason, who were all sworn to secrecy. You'd feared Annabeth would have a negative reaction, but she assured you they were just friends.
Piper was shoving you into his embrace any chance she got, so this being something planned seemed logical. Annabeth probably thought if it Piper might've used her charm speak. "No. Piper, Annabeth and Jason are here but, Piper and Jason are hanging out, and Annabeth has thrown herself into her studies. So, I guess we kind of are." He lowered you arm with a gentle touch. You were literally about to die. "You were still in battle stance, silly," he giggled, making your cheeks flush. You hadn't realized that even though you were relaxed and talking, you'd never truly let your guard down. "Hey, since the others are busy, maybe we should hang out!" His eyes flickered with excitement. You had no clue what he was thinking, but you already loved the idea. He grabbed your hand and ran as fast he could, with you in tow.
Soon enough you were at the nearest beach, laughing and talking about literally nothing at all. You were only admiring his features, not actually paying attention to the conversation. It wasn't until he'd pulled off his shirt had you realized you were drooling, and snapped back to reality.
His abs were pretty toned (not as well as Jason's, but he still had pecs). "I don't have a swimsuit," you protested as he pulled you into the water. Which was a lie. You were kind of lovestruck, so you always wore a bikini under your clothes just in case you'd need to swim.
The truth was, you were extremely afraid of water. You hated swimming, maybe because you didn't know how. Water freaked you out, especially ocean water. It could carry you away at any given moment. At least in a pool the waves are man made, which is controllable. "Don't you wear a bikini under your clothes?" He blurted, startling the shit out of you. How did he know? "Oh..oh yeah! Heh, I guess I forgot." You lie again, hoping you could find a way to stall. You pull off you T-shirt and Shorts, to reveal a turquoise colored bikini, that was WAY shorter than you remember when Piper bought it for you three months ago.
You caught Percy staring out of the corner of your eye. You'd grabbed his attention, and you wanted to hold it forever. But as soon as you turned around his face burned red, embarrassed he'd been caught staring. Percy avoided eye contact. "S-sorry (y/n), I hadn't realized how amazing you'd look in a bikini—
You tried not to die internally but you were already a fourth of the way there. "Oh. Thanks, Percy. You look good too." You we're doing better at containing yourself than you thought, but you felt like your heart would spill out. "(Y/N) let's get in the water," He said his sea green eyes almost hypnotizing you. "Percy, I have something to tell you," you start, about to confess you're fear of water. "Can I go first? I have something important to say too," Percy's face was burning up again. "(y/n)... I really like you. I have strong feelings for you and I hope you feel the same. And I know I should've told you sooner but I never knew when the right time was. Please don't hate me or anything—
You cut him off with a kiss, his warm, soft, plush lips against yours. It was a sweet kiss, that lasted longer than even you had imagined. He pulled away hesitantly, smiling at you, his dark hair swept out of his face for you. "I was just going to tell you I can't swim, Seaweed Head." You giggle, making him feel silly. "Well, maybe I can teach you," He said. But before you could protest he swept you up bridal style, and summoned a wave. Okay, you had to admit. Although you hated the water, you were incredibly at ease, thanks to Percy Jackson. His soothing honey-golden voice was relaxing you more and more. He taught you how to swim easily.
Soon enough without his knowledge. A gigantic wave washed over you, brushing you away with the tide. As water rush passed you and you could hear you heartbeat in you ears, you struggled to swim up, being pushed back. You didn't open your eyes, until you felt hands grab you by the waist and hoist you up. You coughed and sputtered as Percy brought you to the surface, and laid you in the wet sand. "I'm so sorry (y/n), it shouldn't have happened. I wasn't paying attention. It's my fault." He sat down next to you, face filled with worry and unhappiness. "I love you, Percy. Please don't blame yourself for me never learning how to swim. Now, let's go get something to eat." You pulled yourself up and kissed you're new boyfriend. You headed to the nearest food joint in town, which was ironically In n Out, which is where you'd found out you were a demigod. (PLEASE DONT JUDGE ME I WAS HUNGRY AS HECK AND MY MOM WAS TAKINGME TO IN N OUT)
You ordered two Double Doubles, two shakes and two large fries. "Okay Percy, what do you want to eat? I think I'm done ordering," Percy laughed, barely realizing you were serious. Percy towered over you being nearly 6 foot even, over (y/h) "How can a ShortStack like you, eat THAT much?" He chuckled to himself, ordering only a plain cheeseburger.
You sat down, once again in your shirt and shorts, and him in his. You talked about basically everything, (or at least it felt like you did) in the fifteen minutes you waited for your order. You bit the inside of your cheek; a bad habit you'd learned a while back. You always did it when you were nervous, especially like right now. "Hey, Percy?" "Yeah (y/n)?" "How'd you know I was wearing a bikini under my clothes?" His face went into a crimson-rose color, and his green eyes flushed dark with embarrassment. "Well, I've liked you for months, so I've been asking Piper for advice. She said to take you to the beach, because you'd have a swimsuit under your clothes. She also said to hold you any chance I got, which is why I'm always hugging you" You blushed ultra hard, and bit into your cheek so hard that you could taste the metallic, rose colored liquid fill your mouth. You were bleeding, but not too much, so you didn't mention it. You smiled, making sure he got the gist. He smiled back, and looked deeply into your eyes. "Back at the beach. I never said I loved you back. I meant to, though," Percy said as he withdrew his beautiful green eyes from your loving gaze, and grabbed your tray of food. After watching you scarf down literally everything you ordered in ten minutes, Percy suggested you got back to camp, in case anyone was looking for them. They walked back to camp, holding hands. Despite your introverted and extremely lazy tendencies, you wanted to stay up all night with Percy, talking. And you tried, but ultimately failed as he fell asleep cuddling you on the couch. Piper, Annabeth and Jason walked in talking. Piper quickly saw the seen unfolding, only to shush them, take pictures, and give you two thumbs up and a smile as she walked out the door, mouthing "YESS!" While pumping her fist in the air.
