SEA GREEN MEETS GOLD (N.M. & P.J.)

Chapter 50: Spitball

Okay, boomer.

Percy raised an eyebrow challengingly. "I'm not a kid anymore. And you can't just show up and be mean to the people I care about."

"Who am I being mean to?" The god questioned.

The sea green eyed girl gestured to the hybrid.

Poseidon rolled his eyes and flicked his wrist downward, in an effort to dismiss her words. "He doesn't count."

Before Percy could retort, Poseidon turned his attention to Klaus.

"I need to speak with you in private."

That won't be good.

"Why?" Percy asked.

The sea god looked back over at her. "Why must you question everything I do?"

"Because you do a lot of questionable things." She sassed.

The god gave her a stern look. "Well, now you're being mean."

Percy shrugged, "I guess it runs in the family."

Poseidon smiled a bit at her words.

The demigod noticed Sally was in the room. She looked much better.

"Mom? Shouldn't you be resting?"

Sally sent her a smile. "I've rested enough. Besides, Apollo came by and healed me while you were sleeping."

With perfect timing, the sun god poked his head into the room. "Did someone say my beautiful name?"

Percy jumped off of the couch and rushed towards him.

When she reached him, she wrapped her arms around the god. "Thank you."

He grinned, "You're welcome."

Pulling away from him, she flicked his arm.

Apollo held his arm in mock pain.
"What was that for?"

"You better have a good reason for being so late."

Apollo gave her a weak smile. "I wasn't looking at my phone."

"Seriously?!"

He defended his actions and gestured to Klaus. "Besides, I was giving you some time alone with your boyfriend."

"Boyfriend?!" Poseidon had a scary expression on his face.

Percy cleared her throat and sent a small glare at the sun god.

He pressed his lips together in a line as his eyes widened. "Oops."

She glanced back at her father. In an attempt to sweet talk him, she started, "Dad-"

Poseidon shook his head. He took a deep breath to calm himself down.
He brought his blank stare back to the original hybrid. "Let's speak outside, shall we?"

His tone implied there wasn't any room for refusal.

Klaus slowly nodded and stood up from the couch.

Percy strided back to his side, causing the hybrid to lock eyes with her. The demigod moved to stand beside him and interlocked their hands. "He doesn't have to go anywhere he doesn't want to."

Klaus cleared his throat. "It's alright, love."

Poseidon's glare intensified after hearing the 'L' word.

The raven haired beauty locked eyes with the hybrid again.

He nodded, assuring her he would be fine.
