Pertemis One-Shots

Third Person PoV

It was the biggest bash Olympus had ever seen. The second Giant war had ended, and since he'd been dumped by his girlfriend, Percy Jackson was single. Word went around quickly that Percy was still a virgin, and many wanted to be the one the green-eyed demigod lost it to. All except a certain silver eyed goddess.

Percy was running, trying not to be consumed by the mob of girls. He ran over to the punch bowl, saved by his friends. He heard a voice from behind him. "Perseus Jackson," the voice drawled, "I never did thank you for respecting my huntresses and releasing my mother."

Percy spun around, bowing deeply. "Y-you're w-welcome, Lady Artemis." Artemis nodded, her eyes on the approaching mob of lust-crazed girls. Percy blanched. "Lady Artemis, could you help me get away from them? I really don't want to perform sexual activities with anyone."

Artemis thought for a moment. "Well, you technically have to be here, but they wouldn't dare touch you if you were dancing with an Olympian goddess. I do not harbour the suggested feelings, I would like to make that clear." Percy nodded and took her hand. They both felt a spark fly up their arms. Artemis placed a hand on Percy's shoulder, while he placed a hand on her side, farthest he could from touching her breasts or crotch. They started dancing, swaying to the music like the other dancers. A few actually stopped for the sight. 1) Percy was actually dancing with someone, and 2) That someone was Artemis.

As the night went on, their faces slowly crept closer together, though neither of them noticed. When most everyone had stopped to watch them, Artemis flashed herself and Percy to one of her sacred gardens, in which only those holding her permission could enter. Artemis shivered, and Percy pulled his sports coat off, draping it around her shoulders. "You're a really good dancer, Lady Artemis."

"As are you, Perseus, and please, stop with the formalities, call me Artemis."

"Only if you'll call me Percy instead of Perseus."

Artemis rested her head on Percy's shoulder. "That can be done."

They sat in peaceful silence for a period of time. "Artemis, why do you treat me with respect?"

"Because you are what men should be. You're kind, compassionate, considerate, chivalrous, and so much more. You aren't disrespectful toward women, you don't lust for them and take action upon it." Artemis responded.

"Oh," Was all Percy could say.

"Percy, earlier, when I said I didn't harbour any feelings for you, that was true. Now, though, it's, um, changed." Artemis mumbled, looking down. Percy leaned over and kissed her on the cheek. Artemis felt something warm on her cheek and realized what Percy had done. Artemis blushed. She saw the moon start to come out. "I must leave for my duties, Percy. It was nice to get to know you. You're very sweet."

Time Skip-3 years

Percy had gone back to camp, never seeing or hearing from Artemis again. He, along with all the other cabin counsellors, including all the seven, was given immortality.

Percy was in the arena training when he heard yelling. "The hunters are coming! The hunters are here! Artemis's hunters are here!" Percy paused his training and sprinted up the hill to find that this was true.

He went to greet them, but was blocked by Annabeth. "Hey, Percy! So, I was wondering if you wanted to go to the movies on Sunday-"

Percy cut her off. "No, Annabeth. I'm not going on a date with you. Stop bothering me."

Annabeth kept trying to talk to him. Percy scowled and walked off toward the woods. Neither knew that a certain silver-eyed immortal had watched the exchange.

Percy dove into the water, swimming around to clear his mind. He used his water powers to raise him to a cliff most didn't know about, and no-one went to.

Artemis flashed over to behind a tree, walking out from behind it. Percy still hadn't noticed her.

Not many knew it, but Artemis was a rather curious goddess. She stepped closer to it, peering over the edge. Artemis felt someone loop their arms around her waist from behind. "Careful, Artemis. I know you're a goddess, but I don't want you to get hurt."

Artemis turned to see Percy was the one holding her. She blushed deeply as she stared into his sea-green eyes. "I'll be careful, Percy. I just hope you are too." The goddess stood on her tiptoes and pressed her lips to his.

She pulled away, blushing even harder. Percy smiled gently and tilted her chin up. "I believe I missed the last time." He brought his lips back to hers.
