There was this burning hatred in (Y/N)'s chest, even when he only thought of the son of Poseidon. Ever since Percy first came to camp half-blood he couldn't stand him. After only one day at the camp, everyone just seemed to love the 12-year-old boy. Well except Clarisse and her siblings may be. Just because he managed to defeat the Minotaur almost on his own? Or because he turned out to be the son of one of the big three? But the hatred seemed mutual. They were always fighting and bickering with each other so (Y/N) didn't even bother to feel guilty, at least he tried to.

It was an evening in the same month of august as they defeated Gaia when some of the Aris kids thought it was a good idea to start playing capture the flag as a bit of a distraction from all the rebuilding of the camp. Even though in the distance one already could see black storm clouds rolling directly in their direction, it should be enough time left to play at least one round.
(Y/N) got positioned by the lake and as fate wants it, not long into the game he could spot a certain black-haired boy in front of him. "Don't even try to get past here Jackson."
"As if you had any chance against me (Y/N)."
Grabbing his weapon tighter (Y/N) got ready and waited for an attack. "You always think you are the best at everything don't you Percy?"
"I never said that, but I will win a fight against you anyway."
"Oh, you really think that? Then how about a fight, without any of our powers and such, just we and our weapons."
"Deal."
"Deal."
As soon as the words were spoken Percy dashed forwards, jamming the hilt of riptide in (Y/N)'s stomach, causing him to let go of his weapon, which landed beside him on the beach. After he overcame his first shock and the pain (Y/N) kicked Percy's feet away under him making the son of Poseidon fall backward. (Y/N) got on top of him and punched him right in the face. And just like that there where cheer that could be heard from further away and both of them knew the game was over. (Y/N) took a short looked at Percy's split open lips before he got off him and dusted the sand off of himself.
"We should head back to the camp, Jackson."
"What's this between us?"
"I don't know what you mean." And with that, the son of (G/P) started to walk away, back to the camp.
"You know exactly what I mean. Don't you dare to play dumb."
This made (Y/N) stop in his tracks. "I hate you, you hate me. That's how it was and how it always will be. You know that as good as everyone else in camp half-blood. We never got along ever since we first met."
For a split second everything around them lit up in a flash of lightning and not long after followed a deep thunder.
"Come on (Y/N), we both know that we don't hate each other."
When the (H/C) boy turned around he could see Percy still standing at the exact same spot as he stood before. As he began to slowly make his way back to Percy the first raindrops fell in the sand next to him. When they only stood one meter apart, that was when (Y/N) began to speak again.
"You know Jackson, I tried really hard to hate you, I really did, but I just couldn't and I hate myself for that."
Slowly the rain began to become heavier. Percy made one step towards the (S/C) male in front of him. "Then why even bother to hate me?"
"I could ask you the same question."
"I asked first." Quiet, only a whisper and if they didn't stand as nearby each other Percy probably would have missed it.
"Because when I first saw you it was like love at first sight, but I knew you would be a great hero and I don't want a hero like Heracles or Odysseus."
For a second there was a look that seemed like shock on Percy's face before he answeres almost as quietly as the son of (G/P).
"What is so bad about being a hero?"
"Heroes don't get happy endings, you should know best you were literally named after the only hero that ended up happy."
"We will get our happy ending for sure."
"Yeah go ask Achilles and Patroklos, Apollo and Hyacinthus, or one of many others that thought they were the ones who could get there happy ever after."
"This time will be different, we will be different."
"How do you know?"
"I just do. I want you (Y/N) and I hope you want me too." Was it the rain running down on (Y/N)'s face or were there really tears? He wasn't sure, but it didn't matter right now. The only thing that matters now was the boy with green eyes as deep as the sea, that was standing right in front of him. "I swear if you die on a stupid mission or something like that I will personally go to the underworld and drag you out of there. Do you understand me, Percy?"
"I take that as a yes. Can I kiss you now?"
With that (Y/N) closed the last few centimeters between them and even though it began to get cold from the rain and the taste of blood that came from Percy's split open lips this is the perfect first kiss. At least for the two of them.
