Olympus' Biggest Mistake

Chapter 16

Thalia felt warmth for the first time whilst stirring in her sleep. Her mornings were usually cold and the blanket would always be on the floor. This time it was different. The fresh scent of mint and pine mixed sweetly together caused her to open her eyes slowly.

All she could do was stay there as strong arms held her tightly to his warmth. The blanket still covered them and she had her head on his chest. Thalia simply starred at his sleeping face, watching as no sign of drool was actually present for once.

She ran her fingers through his unkempt hair, the white so prominent. With this closer look at Percy, Thalia realized the white hair was much more than a few streaks. She already knew the side affects of carrying the literal sky on your back as a demigod. This, however, was definitely something else causing much more white in his hair.

It was beautiful to her eyes, like highlights in darker hair colors. The canines were more fang-like in appearance. He had a stupid childish grin on his face as he slept. Thalia loved that all this, highlights of white and a fanged toothy grin, added to his mischievous bad boy side.

Thalia noticed that Percy's warmth was just the same as the warmth Jack's fur provides her. She quickly assumed it had to do with being a werewolf. Now, more than ever, Thalia has so many questions that need answers.

Deciding to be bold, Thalia pushed herself up towards Percy's face and planted a kiss on his lips. Demigods live short lives as it is, demigod wolf or immortal hunter, they might not have much time. There was no reason for either of them to hold back and waste time in her opinion.

Percy tightened his grip around Thalia, slowly waking up as he received a sweet morning treat. He kissed back enjoying the fact that soft warm lips caused him to awaken rather than screaming and nagging.

The two finally pulled apart, sea green starring into electric blue eyes. Percy smiled as he caressed her cheek.

"I have questions, and you have answers." Thalia stated simply, planting a peck on Percy. "Spill it, kelp head."

"So that's why you woke me up from such a peaceful sleep." Percy and Thalia both sat upright on the bed, shaking the sleep from their bodies.

"Guess I won't wake you up like that again." Percy's face morphed into one of fake hurt.

"You wouldn't." He said in disbelief. Hand over his heart as if he had been shot by one of her arrows.

Thalia looked towards Percy, one brow raised with a smirk. "It's not hard. I've lived so far without having to do so."

Thalia made her way to the edge of her bed getting up to ready herself for the day. She felt a tug on her wrist before she could walk away. Percy pulled her back to sit in front of him. Strong arms gently wrapped around her torso, warmth pressed on her back. She could feel the hairs on the back of her neck stand from feeling his breathing.

"I don't think I could survive like that." Thalia shivered. His voice deep and low so close to her neck. How could feeling the vibrations from his voice cause her body to react like this?

Thalia was much too slow to react and realize what happened next. Percy turned her head by gently pulling her chin towards him. A deeper kiss than their first was placed on her lips.

"You sure I can't convince you to change your mind?" Thalia bit her bottom lip.

"You're lucky." She said in response.

Thalia leaned backwards into Percy after another short kiss. They talked for a little while, Thalia asking all about Zoë and Percy's plan for true peace. She even got curious about his newly prominent features.
