Percy Jackson Truth Dare or Name

Percy

I felt sorry for Nico. 

He felt as if, now that Bianca was gone, he had no-one, and because of that, he had to hide.

I had no idea what he and Thalia had been fighting about before, which he didn't seem to realize. I had been covering my ears like a kid (What up song reference!) 

The poor kid just needed someone who cared about him. 

I cared, the kid was like a brother to me. He was special. 

I didn't want him to be an outcast. 

"Neeks, chill," I told him.

When I got him to sit down near me and Annabeth, he seemed to stiffen a bit, but maybe that was my imagination. 

Or maybe because of the rumour that he liked Annabeth. I felt sorry for him. 

Annabeth and I were together, though lately she'd been distant, always reading and listening to music, rather than spending time with me. 

Maybe she liked Neeks too. I'd be left alone, but they would both be happy... 

I sighed. My fantasies always seemed to end up with everyone happy, but if they all were I couldn't seem to piece myself into any equations. 

My life is bizarre. 

"So, Neeks, do you want to take your turn, or give it to someone else?" I asked. 

"I'll take it", he said. "Annabeth, truth dare or name?" 

"Name", she said.

"The new boy, Daniel Cato", he said. "The one from the Apollo cabin".

Her eyes narrowed. "Truth".

"Is it true that you like Daniel Cato?" he asked. "And, if so, why, and how much?"

"Yes, it is", she whispered, not meeting my eyes. "He is amazing, the most amazing person I have ever met. I don't just like him, I love him". 

Styx. I turned away from her and moved to my own bunk. I held my head down to hide the tears. 

I had wanted to make her happy. I had been willing to give her Nico. But this, was too much. 

"Percy-" she began, but I shook my head.

"If he makes you happy, go with him. You know what they say; If you ever have two loves, go with the second, because if you truly loved the first, there wouldn't be a second."

I risked a look up. 

"Can we still be friends, Seaweed Brain?' she asked softly.

"So long as your happy, and not mad at me", I replied. 

I heard a soft gasp from Nico. 

Piper swallowed. "But... you two were meant to be!" she sobbed.

I ignored her. "Annabeth, if you ever need me again, I'll be here... unless I've moved on by then", I told her. 

She gave me a teary nod. 'Thanks, Seaweed Brain, but I'm pretty sure this will work out."

"Does he like you too?" I asked quickly.

"We've kinda been together for awhile now, just not officially because of 'us'."

I smiled a little tearily. "Go tell him I'm not stopping him", I said. 

She smiled. 'Thanks again, Percy. I hope you find someone too."

I nodded softly through my tears. 

"See you wise girl". 

She paused. "One last kiss?" she pleaded. 

I nodded, and we had a quick kiss, before she left my cabin and ran to the Apollo one. 

I cried writing this. I ship Percabeth soo much!!! But I want to try a bit of Per... never mind. Percy stuff. Try him out with someone else.
