Also, I'm sorry this took so long (for months now, I think), but it's literally been sitting in my drafts, and I forgot about it FORGIVE ME!!! Tried to avoid using y/n (I don't think I used it at all, actually, but I don't even remember, lmao)
â Percy Jackson never thought he would find someone who loved the beach more than him.
He was completely and utterly wrong.
His girlfriend (arguably) loved the beach more than him. Being a daughter of Apollo, she felt and looked as if she belonged.
Whenever you were at the beach, the sky would be free of clouds (even if it looked like it was about to rain minutes ago), and the sun would glow a little brighter and burn a little harsher than it did before you got there, as if in greeting.
Underneath the sun and among the scent of salt, you felt safe; you felt at home. Which was probably why you connected so well with Percy when they first met.
The sun and sea go hand in hand after all.
Beach dates with Percy were your favourite type of date. Sure, going to the arcade or the movies was fun, but nothing truly beats a beach day.
You remember your mother bringing you down to the coastline to catch crabs or try and spot a pod of dolphinsâperks of being born and raised in Maine, you guessedâit practically became tradition to go down to the beach every weekend.
Ever since you started living at Camp Half-Blood, you tried to hold on to those memories and traditions despite whatever world-ending event you had to deal with. It didn't matter if you were at camp or on a life-threatening mission to save the world; you would always find or make time to go down to the nearest coastline and just breathe.
Beach days with Percy reminded you of the better days, the ones where you spent the entire day building sandcastles or running along the surf with your friends, especially after long days trying to keep up with the mounting pile of assessments you had on your desk at home.
Percy, despite his whining, always made time to drive you both down to the beach straight after school every Friday. He would make sure all of your things were packed before school: lunch, books, spare clothes, towels, and everything else were always placed neatly in the trunk of his car.
Hands wrapped encircled your waist, and you got pulled into a hard chest.
"Where's your head at, pretty girl?" Percy said as he placed his head on your shoulder. "You look like you're so far away."
"Just thinking," you respond.
"About what?"
"Dessert."
Percy snorts. "Isn't it too early to be thinking about that? We haven't even had dinner yet."
You pout lightly. "It's never too early to think about dessert. I'm thinking cupcakes, oh, or better yet a whole cake. Wait, or maybe we should have ice cream? Ugh, I can't choose. Should we have ice cream or cake?"
"I'll get whatever you get," Percy said.
"I asked you so you could choose," you huff. "Not so you could try and be a good boyfriend and be down to get whatever I want."
"But I would be down to get whatever you want."
"I'll hit you, Jackson. Don't test me."
"Abuse from my own girlfriend," Percy sighed, shaking his head. "This calls for drastic countermeasures."
"What-"
Your sentence gets cut off as Percy picks you up and literally throws you over his shoulder.
"Perseus Jackson!" you shout as you look up and notice where he is carrying you. "If I get so much as one drop of seawater in my hair, I'm going to kill you! Percy, I'm serious!"
Percy laughs and picks up speed.
"No, wait-"
You don't have any time to beg for mercy as Percy throws you into the surf. You are quick to hold your breath as you go under. You decide you want to scare the boy and stay under as payback.
Your revenge is unfortunately unsuccessful because Percy never actually lets go of your arm after he throws you in. One second you go under the next, you are being pulled straight back out and into his chest.
"I hate you!" you splutter, raising a hand to wipe off the water from your face.
"At least I won't be dying today," Percy laughs. "I didn't get any of your hair wet."
You raise your hand and feel your hair. Lo and behold, it was as dry as it was before your boyfriend decided to throw you into the ocean. Ah, so that's why he didn't let go of your arm.
"I still hate you," you say.
"Mhm," Percy said. "I love you too."
"Hey," you said. "You know what we could do to become rich?"
Percy raises a brow at the sudden change in topic. "What?"
"We could get a boat, and you could be one of those deep-sea fishermen."
"Uh, I don't so."
"But why not? What's so good about being literally the son of the sea god if you don't try and make a profit from it?"
"I-"
"Like I should become a producer or something. Just imagine how much money I could make. The sales would be insane."
Percy somehow managed to divert the conversation, but he better believe you would be bringing it up again.
After you had tackled Percy and forced asked him to choose what to have for dessert, the two of you found yourselves at the local ice cream shop.
"Percy," you whine. "My ice cream is melting."
"I know how you could get it to stop," Percy said.
"How?"
"Finish it faster."
"How about I stab you with my fork instead? Also, I can't eat it that fast; it's too cold. Do you want me to get a brain freeze?"
"Okay, but can you even get a brain freeze?"
"Huh, I don't know. Before you say anything, we aren't testing it out."
Percy slumps into his chair, dejected. "But if you don't finish it quickly, it'll melt."
"Exactly!" you whine. "The world hates me! I should just give up and die."
"Every minor inconvenience has you saying that," Percy mutters under his breath.
"What was that Perseus?"
"I said, Do you want me to finish it for you?"
You pull the ice cream away from his reach. "Nuh-uh. It's mine!"
"I'll drown you."
"I'll blind you before you can drown me."
"I can still drown you if I'm blind."
You open and close your mouth. "I hate you."
"I love you too, pretty girl."
I had no idea how to end this after not seeing it for so long so I apologise for the rushed/abrupt endingđ
Anyway! I hope you enjoyed reading!
Yor <3
