They're all traumatised. From the same war but different sides. IT HAS EVERYTHING!
Childhood friends to enemies to lovers. Enemies with benefits. Guilt riddling every aspect of their relationship. "Golden" couple trying to pss psst their stray cat of a boyfriend into taking better care of himself.
Luke Castellan haunting them from every corner.
Al wants CHB razed to the ground and contributed to campers's dead and Annabeth’s abandonment issues. Percy killed or indirectly resulted in the deaths of everyone Al has ever loved. Percabeth is scarily codependent and feel they can atone for the guilt they feel over everyone's deaths + the gods killing Ta demigods if they can just love Al hard enough. The whole relationship is Al's self inflicted punishment for failing his siblings. I can go on more and more and more tbh
Alabaster wants to kill Percy but is also so drawn to and fascinated by him that he can't help playing with his food, Percy meanwhile is having some Feelings awoken by this whole situation but buries them because he loves Annabeth and wants to remain loyal to her, which kind of irks Al until he follows Percy home to her and is like "Actually. i get it" and now has two targets
t4t4t swm. Annabeth fucks Percy while Al is forced to sit and watch. After Annabeth cums in Percy, while Percy is recovering Annabeth teases Al and touches him and makes him get her hard again so she pump him full of her cum as well. And then Percy and Al frot against each other while the cum spills out of them and makes a huge mess all over the bed, down their thighs and legs, pretty much everywhere. They're practically using it as lube to fuck each other with. Annabeth just sits back and enjoys the show they're putting on for her. Even better if she teased Al but didn't let him finish, so now he's desperately chasing his release by grinding against Percy like his life depends on it while their mutual girlfriend's cum, the girl who put Al in this situation in the first place, is spilling between them.
Alabaster jolted when an explosion rocked the ground. His eyes snapped up to the fucking Greek Trireme hovering in the sky.
Shit, Annabeth.
His foot hit the shadow beside him and he sunk into it, appearing in the shadow the ship casted on the ground. It seemed to have blasted a hole in the parking lot, revealing a small room. His eyes found a statue in the corner. The Athena Parthenos. He focused on the ground inside the small room, his vision blurred with green and he was down there.
Huh, that Mist travel does come in handy.
“Beth!” She whirled around, stumbling due to the messy splint on her ankle, he rushed forwards and caught her before she could catch. “Oh my gods,” He murmured, looking over her quickly. “You’re okay?”
“Ankle’s a little messed up.” Annabeth responded, half sarcastically. “And a little shaken up, but I’m fine.” She sighed shakily, leaning against his side. “Especially with you.”
Alabaster looked back up at the statue. “You did it.”
“I did it.” She murmured. “But now what do we do with it? You can’t shadow travel with me and something that big.”
Before he could shoot back that he could, they just didn’t have anywhere to put it, a ladder fell from the ship. He tensed, shifting so Annabeth was partially behind him. She held her knife out in front of them. “First, we have them to deal with.” He hissed, tapping the card on his hip to summon his sword.
“Blowing a hole in the parking lot are they insane or something?” Annabeth muttered.
“Sounds about right.”
He scowled as a group made their way down the ladder. Two girls and three boys.
“Uh.” One of the girls murmured. She had choppy brown hair and eyes that seemed to change colours, vaguely reminding him of Silena Beauregard. “Who are you two?”
Alabaster scowled. “I should be asking you that.” He gestured up at the ship with his sword. “Fucks wrong with you? Blowing a hole in a parking lot?” He tilted his head towards Annabeth. “What if you’d killed her?”
“They’d probably be taking a one way trip to Hades, curtosy of you.” She mused.
He narrowed his eyes when the boy, one with blond hair, blue eyes and a scar on his lip, stepped forward. “Take another step. And you get hurt.” He hissed.
“I don’t think you could do that.” He murmured.
“Wanna bet?” Alabaster snapped.
“Let’s try not to murder anymore demigods.” Annabeth murmured. “I think the Olympians have enough reason to hate us, much less to kill one of their kids.”
“No fun.”
She rolled her eyes and leaned her head on his shoulder. “Please don’t commit more war crimes, Tory.”
Alabaster pursed his lips. “Fine.”
“Who are you?” Another boy asked. He was short with curly hair.
“Right back at you.” Annabeth murmured. “You’re the ones that blew a hole in the ground and disturbed my whole quest.”
The other girl blinked. “Your quest?”
She pointed at the Parthenos. “My quest.”
Alabaster vaguely registered another person coming down the ladder, but he kept his gaze trained on the group in front of him. “Who are you and why are you here?”
“Listen man, we’ve got an issue with giants and we-“
“Al? Annabeth?”
His head snapped towards the ladder. When his eyes landed on the teen getting off it, he felt any ounce of annoyance leaving his body. Annabeth gasped.
“Percy?”
He was standing there, raven hair longer and, naturally, messy. His eyes were different, mismatched. The right was the same sea green Alabaster remembered, the colour he’d fallen in love with just gazing at, but the left was the cold golden that reminded him of Kronos.
“Oh my gods.” He murmured, rushing forward. “I thought you two…” He shook his head, pulling them both into a hug. Annabeth exhaled shakily, burying her face in Percys shoulder to hide the tears threatening to fall from her eyes.
“Uh…Percy?”
The son of Poseidon didn’t respond, keeping his arms wrapped tightly around the other two demigods. Alabaster tucked his face in the crook of his boyfriends – were they still boyfriends? – neck and wrapped the arm not holding Annabeth around his waist.
A choked sob escaped Annabeth as she clung closer to Percy. “Never do that again.” She murmured. “You can’t leave me like that again.”
“No.” He whispered in response. “I won’t. I won’t.” Annabeth only nodded.
Alabaster sighed quietly, pulling his face away and eyeing Percy. “Hey Bast.” He murmured.
“Jackass.” He responded, smacking his arm. “You know how fucking stupid that stunt was?”
Percy laughed and Alabaster shook his head. He couldn’t stay annoyed at the son of Poseidon even if he tried.
“I love you.” Percys eyes softened at the words and he brought a hand up to cup Alabasters cheek, leaning their foreheads together.
“I love you too, Alabaster.” His eyes flickered to Annabeth and he poked her side, eliciting a quiet squeak from the daughter of Athena. “And I love you too, Annabeth.”
“Yeah you better.” She muttered. “Making us think you were dead.”
He laughed, smiling warmly at her. “In my defense I thought you two were dead.” He murmured.
Alabaster huffed. “Yeah because Olympus is full of assholes.”
Percy gave him a confused smile but before he could ask one of the others spoke.
“Oi, Jackson. You could, I dunno. Explain?”
His partner jolted looking over his shoulder. “Shit I forgot they were here.” He murmured, causing Annabeth to laugh.
“This is Annabeth, a daughter of Athena and Alabaster, a son of Hecate.” He explained. “These guys are Hazel, Frank and Jason, they’re Romans, Pluto, Mars and Jupiter. Then, Piper and Leo, Aphrodite and Hephaestus.” He smiled at the two of them. “Annie and Al are uh-“ He blinked, Alabaster noted the faint blush spreading on his cheeks.
“His partners.” Annabeth supplied. “We’re his partners.”
Alabaster snorted. “Yeah come on water boy. You embarrassed of us?”
“Well, not Annabeth.” Percy responded easily.
“Rude!”
Percy laughed, kissing his cheek. “You love me magic boy.”
“Wait so you had a boyfriend and a girlfriend this whole time?” The curly haired boy, Leo, asked. “And you didn’t tell us?”
“I thought they were dead.” Percy pointed out with a deadpan expression.
“Surprise, I guess.” Alabaster mused.
“Good surprise. I’m glad you’re not dead. Because if you were, I don’t know what I’d do with myself after this war was over.”
