“Come on, Thals,” Percy whined, skipping behind her and being annoyingly happy. “Why so sad?”

“Just lay off, Jackson,” Thalia snapped, wrinkling her nose in distaste. “It's none of your business.”

“Thalia, you're my girlfriend. Of course it's my business,” Percy responded, slowing down to trot lazily by her side.

“That doesn't give you custody over me!” She growled, glaring at Percy with all the hate she could muster.

“I never said that!” Percy said quickly. “I'm just saying it gives me rights to worry about you! Isn't that what boyfriends are for?”

“No,” Thalia grumbled. “Just leave, will you?”

“Not until you tell me!” Percy sang, his gait becoming more energetic once more.

“Leave!” Thalia barked, her mouth twisting into a scowl.

“Would a kiss make it better?” Percy offered, puckering his lips to her.

Thalia snorted. “Not at all.”

“You know it will!” He said cheerfully, jumping in front of Thalia and forcing her to stop abruptly.

“Back off!” Thalia snarled. “I'll kill you!”

“Sure,” Percy muttered. “I'm sure you will.” And with that, he followed up on his promise and kissed her square on the lips.

Perhaps kisses did make it a little better.
