"Now, now. Let's not stray from the main issue, even though Percabeth is adorable and you can thank moi for that... KENZIE, are you even paying attention????"
"I don't knooow. I'm just tired of all of this."
"Well listen up! This is VERY important."
"Why don't I just not date anyone of them?"
GAAAAAAASPPPP!!!!!
Heavy breathing.
"Becaaaause. I know that you know that you won't do that."
"Aaaaand? Will you get to the point?"
"Okay. You want it straightforward? I already KNOW what the right decision is. And if you want to know, just say it."
Aphrodite put her hands on her hips.
"No."
"Fine. Then I'll just stay here alllll day, listening to you people debate."
"Fine."
*~*~*
Aaaand it's been approximately 8 minutes and... 41 seconds.
42 now.
43.
And Hunter and Marshall are still standing up there.
"Hey, Marshmallow," Hunter said, turning his head.
Marshall raised his eyebrow.
"Marshmallow?"
"I like it." I said, making a weak smile, before resting my head back on the table and listening to the seven and everybody's discussion.
Hunter shrugged.
"It's all right man. You were officially with her first. Not that I wouldn't do anything for her, but.... You gotta go. Go and comfort her. I can see that this isn't going so well.... She needs you man."
Marshall stared at Hunter.
Hunter gave him a look like, 'Take it or leave it man.'
Marshall nodded and ran towards me.
"Thanks Hunter."
Marshall said.
He picked up my hands gently.
"Are you okay? Do you need anything?"
"Just stay here with me, okay Marshmallow?"
He took a seat and I plopped my head on him.
Marshall put his arm around me, rubbed my arm, pulled me closer, and kissed my forehead.
I shot a look at Hunter.
He smiled a goofy and charming smile.
"What Teddykins? Don't look at me. You're turning my software into hardware."
He clicked his tongue and winked.
I blushed.
