Just Friends

2

Artemis PoV

I smiled and hugged my now fully clothed best friend.

"I have to go to the meeting now," I mumbled as I left.

During the meeting, my brother keeled over and spewed a prophecy about how I could not remain a virgin.

Zeus tried to assign someone to me.

After several minutes of myself and the other female Olympians screaming at him, Zeus came to the worst conclusion in the history of ever.

My powers were taken, and it was a free for all.

When would my father realize I was not a piece of meat?

I ran out of the council room, bounding back to Percy's place.

It seems that word of the prophecy spread quickly because a mob of gods was trailing me.

Percy quickly pulled me inside and locked the door.

"What the hell is that?" He asked.

I bit my lip. "I have to lose my virginity, and Zeus took my powers then declared it a free for all."

"Have I told you your father is a bastard?" He asked me.

I smiled.

Then I frowned. "Percy, I really value you as a friend, and I don't want to lose you, but if I have to do this, I want it to be you."

"When do you have to lose it by?" He asked.

"Umm, the end of the month," I answered.

Percy kissed my cheek. "Good. I have time to take you on a date."

I blushed.

"How does the fair sound?" He asked.

"What's the fair?" I asked.

Percy smiled. "You'll like it."

He grabbed my hand and flashed us to a place with all sorts of rides and games.

Percy talked to a guy behind a glass wall and gave me a blue bracelet.

Lots of rides, screaming, and shaved ice later, we went to a game booth.

I threw a ball at a stack of cans and got more paper thingies.

Percy took them, saying they were like money in here.

Many games later, we found ourselves at a strongman competition.

Percy slammed the hammer down and hit the bell effortlessly.

Then I got a puppy.

I smiled, holding him. "I'm going to call you Spot"

Percy chuckled and kissed my cheek.

He took me to a pet store and got a bunch of toys, food, a collar, and a bed.

We appeared back at his place, and I placed Spot on the ground.

I kissed Percy's cheek. "Thank you."

Percy kissed me.

His tongue entered my mouth, and I moaned softly.

Percy's hands rested at my waist, while mine ran through his hair.

I pulled away for breath, blushing deeply.

Why was it so easy to look at him as my lover instead of my friend?

My thoughts were interrupted by Spot head butting Percy.
