Green mist and teddybears

I'm sorry

Spicy eh?

Let's get on with the story!

Percy's Pov:

What had I done?

I ran after Annabeth and saw her enter the Athena cabin. That meant trouble for me. I walked towards there and knocked the door.

A very angry Mitchell opened the door and grabbed me by the shirt.

"You are so dead." he said. I raised my hands I sign of peace. "I didn't mean to! I didn't know Nico loved me!" I said. Mitchell looked at me with surprise. "What?" said Mitchell. I barged in and found Annabeth sitting on the floor with her hands on her face crying. One of the other Athena girls was hugging her, and when she saw me she glared. "Don't touch her, Poseidon spawn."

I got closer and she stood up. I raised my hands and stepped closer.

"Look, it was a shock for me to know, I thought the kid hated me after-" I sighed. "After Bianca died, I thought that even if his sister told him to forgive me he still would remember for ever. And it wasn't hate it was love." I breathed deeply.

"I didn't know you'd think I was in love with him. I just care for him as a little brother, because I love you, wise girl. And I wouldn't be able to live without you. I would go a hundred times to Tartarus to save you, even if I wouldn't survive, even if I was cursed a thousand times, even I it meant I would have to keep the button pressed while you go up. I love you, please don't leave me."

Silence. I could feel all Athena's children staring at me in absolute awe.

But she didn't move.

I sighed and turned around to leave.

"What about Bob pressing the button?"

I turned around and there she was, standing in front of me, her eyes red. But she was smiling. I kissed her, a long, sweet kiss. The Athena kids cheered, and I took her out.

"We should go back," said Annabeth. "They might need our help." And so, together, holding hands, we walked back.
