Future?
Percy’s POV:
Those eyes had me in a haze as I hardly understood that they were talking to me until I felt someone smack the back of my head and heard glorious laugh.
“Sorry,” I told them sheepishly as I winced from Annabeth’s smack.
“Its alright after all I’m kinda enjoying the view from here. A wonderful green view.” They said
I blushed and saw the others smirk from the corner of my eyes, and smirked even more as I noticed I was still cradling their head and slowly let them go.
“That beauty there is Percy, he’s the one rescued you from the Minotaur.” Jake told them still smirking.
“Well, thank you Percy. I’m Antonio Flores.” Antonio introduced himself while winking at me causing me to blush even further. At this rate, I’m going to faint from the amount of blood rushing to my head.
“Umm, it was no big deal, anyone of us would have done the same. Oh! Let me introduce everyone. This is Annabeth Chase, daughter of Athena; Jake, son of Hephaestus; Grover, satyr and I’m the son of Poseidon.” I replied to him, while pointing to everyone during their introductions.
“Ah so I wasn’t imagining that Jake said minotaur. How are these things real? I thought they were just part of myths.”
“Yeah Greek gods are real and so are monsters. Everything from mythology is real and living in this world. So are we. We are demigods, children of a god and a human, but its too dangerous for us to live in the real world and so most of us live here in Camp Half-Blood.” Annabeth explained to Antonio.
“Wow, that’s a lot to take in. But I enjoy that explanation more then adding craziness to ADHD and dyslexia.” Antonio responded.
“Yeah the ADHD is due to our extra energy to battle and the dyslexia is because our brains are hardwired for ancient Greek.” Jake chipped in.
“If you are feeling alright, we can take a walk around camp so you can see for yourself and explore.” Grover said.
“Actually, that would be great. As long as you will accompany me.” Antonio agreed while looking at me, making me blush once more. Damn and I had just regained my composure. I helped Antonio get up, when he put his arm around my waist, intensifying my blush even more.
“Are you ok?” I asked a bit worried.
“Yeah, but it doesn’t hurt on more on two accounts to have you to rely on.” He responded.
Once again, I saw the others smirk and swore that I will get some revenge against them for this occasion, but I can’t deny that it doesn’t feel nice to have him hold me against him. As we walked around camp, Travis and Connor came and told us that there was a meeting in the Big House. I thought it was a good chance to introduce the new camper to Mr. D and Chiron, so we took him with us to the meeting.
