Dreams (A PERCABETH AU)

Chapter 9- The REUNION

(A/N): SO! Without further ado, (I can't even tell you how relieved I am to finally be announcing this) I give you, THE REUNION. ✨

Hope you like it x 🐠🐬🐳🐚 ️

P.s. I'm sorry, I kinda went to town with the song tributes. You don't have to listen to them if you don't want to but I SERIOUSLY recommend that you do ;)

P.p.s Sorry if there are any grammatical errors, I didn't have a lot of time to edit.

Piper POV

Monday 4th April

"Do you know what I'm made of?"

"Don't say boyfriend material."

"Boyfriend material!"

"You are not saying that to Calypso...ever." I told Leo, rolling my eyes at his lame pick up line.

"I thought it was pretty good." He grinned.

"And that's why you're still single." Jason smirked, making Leo punch his arm with a moody scowl.

I laughed. We were walking together through the busy corridor, towards the common room where the others were likely to be. Jason was in the middle, looking drop dead gorgeous as usual. His short golden hair resembled something like a halo above his perfectly chiselled face and pretty blue eyes. His eyes were the first features of his I'd fallen in love with all those years ago.

The two of them were talking about football now and he was casually pulling his backpack strap over his shoulder with one arm, tousling his hair with a charming grin. They mentioned how Percy was back on the team and how much smoother practice was going now. Jason had taken over as captain for a while and I could tell he liked doing it but he was mature enough to step down for Percy once more.

I'd always wondered whether that internal leadership clash would make rivalries out of both of them, but it never did. Sure, they argued and competed all the time but in the end, they were like brothers and brothers fight, forgive and move on.

Well, no matter what, he was always a winner to me. I was still admiring his face when he caught me staring. I blushed, looking away quickly with a smile. Then I felt his hand slipping into mine and looked up at him, he was smiling down at me, his eyes searching my face. Leo was still banging on about something as I beamed at Jason, tightening my grip on his hand.

"Remind me how I managed to snag you?" He frowned.

"I got sick of you begging me to go out with you." I teased.

"Um, I don't think that's how it went down."

"Of course it is—I called your name, you came running." I grinned and he wrapped his arm around my shoulder, still holding my hand so that I had to cross my arm over my chest.

"Haha, very funny." He rolled his eyes.

I smiled, lacing our fingers together and kissing the back of his hand. He glowed with happiness, which was totally adorable, and fell back into a conversation with Leo just as we were entering the common room.

"Yo, heads up!" Someone shouted. I gasped, looking up in time to see Percy tossing a football across the room to Jason who swiftly let me go to catch it.

"Gonna have to try harder next time, Jackson." Jason smirked, tossing it back to him and rushing over to where the boys were gathered around the Table Tennis table. The Stolls were mid-game, seeing who could come up with the rudest insult for the other. Grover was at the side commentating, probably thinking he was the funniest person ever.
