This was it. I was gonna do it. After almost 4 years of dating her, I was gonna do it. I had no idea how she was gonna react. It isn't easy for demigods to get married. Before they can, either, one of them gets killed, or both of them die. There are very few cases where demigods actually got married and live to have kids and die old. But, I hope that one of those demigod couples would be me and Annabeth. Sorry, Annabeth and I.
But, before I could ask Annabeth to marry me, I had to ask Athena for her blessings. She hated the fact that I was the son of her enemy, already. It didn't help that I was dating Annabeth and was going against everything that the goddess ever warned me about. So, it wasn't gonna be easy to ask to marry her daughter. I was thinking about asking her by singing the song Rude by MAGIC! But I don't think she would appreciate that. She doesn't have a sense of humor. Don't tell her I said that. Anyway, since I couldn't think of anything, I went straight to Mount Olympus. Praying to any God/Goddess who could protect me from her wrath, went to the throne room. She was there waiting for me. Obviously.
"I know exactly what you're going to ask, sea scum. The answer is, as you expect it to be, no."
"Oh, come on! At least listen to what I have to say."
"Go on."
"Annabeth is the most amazing girl I've met in my entire life. She makes me happy in a way that even you can't explain, with your extended vocabulary. I love her so much. I wish to spend the rest of my life with her. Can I have your daughter for the rest of my life? Say yes. Say yes. "
"As pleasing as that was, it's still no. And stop singing."
"I'm gonna marry her anyway. No matter what you say. Why you gotta be so rude?"
"I said stop singing!"
"Sorry. I will make sure that you daughter has the best days of her life. If I cause her any harm, of any kind, you can kill me."
"I don't need your permission to kill you. But, since it looks like you're not going without permission. And I have seen how happy my daughter is when she is with you. So, I'll say yes. But. If you hurt her, I won't hesitate to kill you."
"Point taken. Thank you."
I know I said I wasn't gonna sing that song. But, I panicked and I couldn't help it. Anyway, the first part is taken care of. Now, the actual proposal. I was at home, watching TV, when Annabeth came in for lunch. Being a swimmer leaves you a lot of free time. Of course, that is way better than working all the time. Especially with my dyslexia. Annabeth still thinks I cheat, though. Which is true, but that's not important.
"Hey Wise Girl," I said, wrapping my hands around her waist, pulling her back to my chest, "Wanna go out for dinner today?"
Annabeth chuckled and turned to kiss me, "Sure, why not Seaweed Brain?"
"Awesome! We're going to the pizza place near here."
"Cool. Now, let's eat. I'm hungry."
We had our lunch, which I prepared amazingly, thank you very much. I'm an awesome cook. My mom taught me. After that, Annabeth headed back to work.
"I'll be back by six or so, kay?" She said.
"Alright, Anna. Love ya!"
"Love ya! Bye!"
Now, I had to get the setting ready. I decided that after we had our pizza at our favorite pizza place, we would go for a stroll to a nearby lake, where I would pop the question. Everything was set. I had bought the ring a few weeks earlier. It was a silver band with a diamond in the middle and two smaller blue diamonds on the side. Hopefully, she would like it. It was perfect. At least, for me.
Evening came. Annabeth looked really pretty, as always. She was wearing a dark blue shirt and jeans. I was in my jeans and leather jacket with a white shirt underneath. I know it's not ideal proposal wear but who cares? You don't need fancy clothes to get married. Whoever thinks that can go fuck themselves.
We headed to the restaurant and ordered our usual. I'm not gonna bore you with the details and go straight to the stroll part. We walked to the lake we sat under a tree.
"What would you do if I said that i didn't want to be you boyfriend anymore?" I said.
"Well, first, I would punch you really hard. Then, I would judo-flip you. Then, I would walk away like a boss. Why? You're not breaking up with me are you?"
"No," I said, and got onto one knee, "Marry me."
"What?"
"I'm not gonna give a big speech like all those movies. I want to spend the rest of my life with you. I love you so, so much. Marry me."
"Oh my gods, Percy! YES, YES!"
I stood up and pulled her up with me. I slipped the ring on her hand and kissed her.
"There's only one problem," Annabeth said, "What about my mother?"
"Oh, that. I already took care of that. Your mom says that if I hurt you, I will die."
"Well, for your sake and mine, let's hope that you don't hurt me, " she said and kissed me again.
We lied under the tree, looking at the stars.
"I want a very small wedding, you know. But, I doubt Piper would allow that."
I laughed. "Whatever you want, my love."

And that's a wrap! That wasn't as long as the usual ones, though. The song and ring mentioned in the story on top. Who can guess from where that ring came from? Hint: It's from a TV show. My favorite TV show.
Hope you like it! Thank you for reading! Please, vote and comment.
