Some Cartercy head cannons cus there’s a lack of content
Sally first meets Carter when she gets back from one of her night classes and the two are asleep on the couch with the tv on
Percy wakes up first and gingerly pulls himself out from under Carter and goes into the kitchen to greet his mom
“Jeez mom we’re just friends” At this point they’re something a little more but they haven't talked about it yet.
Carter wakes up and joins them in the kitchen, Sally asks a lot of questions (not in an interrogator way tho)
Carter is uncertain how to answer some, but he looks at Percy who gives him a small nod so he tells Sally that he’s a magician and about the Egyptian gods
Percy thinks Carter is selling himself short and so he butts in every once in a while: “Stop saying that, you are literally the Pharaoh.” “You’ve had a god inside your head, I couldn’t deal with that.”
They have their first kiss when Percy gets first place at a swim meet
Sally and Paul leave before they do to give them some space
Percy is the last to leave the building because he showers there to save his mom the money
As he and Carter are about to leave a few monsters attack
The fight is pretty quick because Percy’s right next to a pool. And Carter’s there so there’s teamwork.
For their second kiss they are both covered in monster dust, and Carter is sopping wet, and they’re both a little sweaty but it’s nice.
They kinda hold hands on the way back to Percy’s apartment, but only when there aren’t a lot of people on the street.
When Carter gets back to the Nome he immediately goes and tells Sadie what happened and he can’t stop smiling the next day.
When Percy gets home he goes and Iris Messages Annabeth and dances around a bit.
They don’t announce their relationship or anything so it takes an absurdly long time for some people to find out *cough* Piper *cough*
She thinks that they’re just pining really hard but after a month she walks in on them kissing in a dark corner.
“What are you doing?” “Kissing my boyfriend?” “Oh, carry on”
They aren’t super affectionate in public because Carter is low-key uncomfortable but sometimes he’ll come up behind Percy and wrap his arms around him and kiss Percy’s neck.
