Twenty Five

"What do you want to talk-."

"Will you go out with me?" Rin said cutting you off.

You blinked at him. "..."

"Pardon me." You questioned.

"I've been neglecting doing this for a while, and I'm pretty sure we both know how the other one feels. And I know you've been acting weird because you're impatient, but I'm the idiot that thought we didn't need an official declaration or an official ask because we're Rin and [Y/N]. So will you go out with me?"

You looked down at your feet. Bella said this would never happen. She said you would never have this happen to you. But she was wrong. However, there was still that nagging in your head telling you that this was all wrong.

This is a joke.
He doesn't actually care about you.
He's not actually asking you out.
Because who would ask you out?
No one.

"Um... um... um..."

"Come on, [Y/N]. Please, just say it. I know what you're going to say, so please, just say-."

"No." You said as Rin said "Yes."

"No?" Rin asked a hurt look on his elvan features. "Is it because I took so long in asking you?"

"No. No. No. No. It's not like that. I promise." You whispered.

"Then, what is it?" He asked.

"We've already gone through all the motions of an average teenage relationship.the cliche first kiss. The cliche loss of virginity in the house of someone who doesn't care or isn't there. The cliche falling out. The cliche back together. The cliche ex-girlfriend. The cliche everything. Rin, we already went through the cliches. Our entire relationship is strictly cliche. The Demon and the Goddess. Two opposing forces. And I won't let us end like Romeo and Juliet." You told him.

"Well, they lasted four acts. We've lasted a complete twenty four chapters snd counting. We're not dead yet, and I'm doing something Romeo never did. I'm asking out my Juliet who's my age and not from a rival family." explained Rin.

I'm from a rival species.

"I'm not going to say yes to tou ever, Rin. Get that through your thick skull." You said.

"But... I love you." He whispered.

Your heart ached. He was the first one to say it. A part of you wanted to say it back, but this was as good as you were going to get. You had made up your mind. At the worst possible moment no less.

"I'm sorry." And with that, you walked away.

"You said no?" Annabeth asked whipping her head around from the counter to the [H/C] haired demon god.

"Yes." She said.

"I need Greek alcohol." Annabeth said pulling out the blender, some fruit, ambrosia, nectar, and rum.

"Ambrosia smoothie with rum? Can I have some?" You asked.

Annabeth turned towards her and gave her an Erza Scarlet stare x3 (because if there can be 3 Lucys, 3 Jellals, 3 1st gen dragon slayers, 3 main exceeds, 3 guild halls, and Markarov can be made guild master thrice, there can be 3 Erzas).

"You will not. You'll get an Ambrosia smoothie."

"You're not even twenty one yet! Your twenty! You turn twenty one in six weeks!" You exclaimed.

"Well, at least I didn't kiss, makeout, and shag the guy before he asked me out." Annabeth defended.

"No, instesd you kissed him, beat his ass, and didn't talk about it for over a year." You said defending your previous actions.

"We're not talking about my romantic endeavors. Only yours. So...." Annabeth said trailing off.

"I don't want to talk about it." You said turning away from Annabeth and snuggling up in your blanket even more.

"Well, he probably told all of his friends who are your friends, so everyone knows you dumped him before the relationship even started. Which means...."

"Bella knows." You said cutting Annabeth off. "What am I supposed to do now? Do I apologize to him and say my anger over took me? What if Bella launched herself at Rin? Oh no! What if I never taste good cooking ever again?"

"Hey, my cooking is good!" Annabeth said.

You turned to her with a brow raised. "Rin is the Zane of cooking. You're more of a Cole than a Zane."

"I hate your nerd cartoon references. Anyway...."

"Hand me the remote. I'm putting what I believe is the cutest anime ever." You said cutting her off yet again.

"Annabeth handed you the remote and you turned it to the DVD player. "You already put the disc in?"

The home screen of the Trouble Life of Kotoura-San was plasteref across the TV. You shrugged your shoulders.

"Of course I did. Magic is the most useful for the most trivial of things." You said having a bucket of popcorn materialize in your hands.

"Why is it that you have this wonderful gift, but you use it for normal human stuff? Magic's other name should be called the Lazy Blessing."

"This magic along with other trivial components exist solely for pronounciation and movement practice for tbe most specialized form of magic. The more powerful magic. I use specialized fire and specialized death magic."

"Do you want a strawberry potion?" Annabeth asked.

"There is no such thing, sweetie. It's simply called a strawberry smoothie."
