hi! i loved u recent pjo angst fic, n maybe (if ur willing to write pt2!) (a bit of a back story (for the prompt) before i rq, reader & percy have always met up like every 2 weeks in a spot, n he usually forgets so reader stops coming.) reader gradually gets over him. and one evening percy & annabeth have like... an argument (on the today he and reader used to hang out on) so he goes there expecting to find her there but instead it's her n another character? (probably grover since he's also percy's best-friend, it can be another character if you wish!) n he gets kind of jealous cs their getting along more n like giggling teasing stuff and percy gets kind of jealous? (it can still be angst or fluff if you prefer.) tyty

when percy, whom you considered to be the love of your life, got with annabeth, you thought your heart had shattered beyond repair. watching them be happy, while you were completely alone, ignored by the one person that you thought understood you, had completely broken you. you found yourself at a new low, thinking of how they were probably hanging out and kissing, while you were sat at the place you and percy used to hang out, alone for the nth time. you couldn't blame percy for forgetting, or purposefully ignoring your planned hangouts together when he had her, his dream girl.

eventually, you realized that your and his friendship was most likely beyond repair, and you stopped coming to the spot, i mean, it wasn't like he would notice, right? but you were wrong, he did notice. he didn't start going again, but he did realize when you were with the rest of the campers at the time the two of you would usually go to the spot to hang out, and it made him realize what he had done to your friendship. though he now knew it was him that ruined the friendship, he tried his best to put it at the back of his mind and focus on his relationship with annabeth.

meanwhile, you had met jason, or rather, began hanging out with him more. it's not like the two of you had never met before, but you'd never really clicked or anything, so the most you two did was give each other a little smile when you crossed paths, but now, it was different. you thought that this friendship was even better than what you had with percy. jason really understood you, he knew what it was like to lose someone that you cared so deeply about at one point in your life and have to watch them be happy with someone else, while you sit alone, thinking about all the great memories the two of you had shared.

at first, you thought you would never be able to get over percy, even if you met someone else.

"jason, have you ever loved someone so deeply that you thought you would never in a million years be able to get over them?" you asked him one sunny day, as the two of you sat at the spot near the river that you and percy used to hangout all the time.

"yeah, a few times. only one of them was in a romantic way, though. i really thought i would never be able to get over her, but here i am now," he said, a small smile gracing his face, which was quite handsome you realized. the thought came as a surprise because you'd never really found anyone attractive when you had been completely infatuated with percy.

"do you think you've completely gotten over her?"

"yeah, i think so. she's still my friend, so if she's happy, then i am, too," he says, as if it was the simplest thing in the world.

"do you think there's any chance for me to get over percy completely?" you inquire.

there was a long moment of silence before he finally spoke again, "yes, i do. and i think you know it, too."

and you realized he was right. you hadn't thought about percy in days.

the two of you continued talking, and you realized that you really were getting over percy. it was all happening excruciatingly slowly, but it was happening nonetheless, and the more you thought about it, the more you realized that you were beginning to develop a crush on jason.

while it was nothing in comparison to how you had once felt about percy, you thought that maybe, just maybe, this could be good for you. contrary to how you once felt when percy looked at you and you saw nothing but platonic love for you in his eyes, when you looked into jason's eyes, you definitely saw something else. not quite love, but he was definitely interested in you, and that made you feel better than you had ever felt in your life. for once, you felt adequate about yourself.

as you and jason continued to hang out, you slowly realized you were falling in love, and you desperately hoped that he was too. every lingering gaze, every lingering touch, and every word on the tip of his tongue that was left unsaid had you praying every night that he truly felt the same way about you that you felt about him.

"hey, has anyone ever told you that you're gorgeous?" he asks you randomly one day, causing you to move your head from its place on his broad shoulder.

"no, actually. why?"

"because," he takes a deep breath. "you are gorgeous, and i just thought that if no one had told you, i would want to be the one to make you realize that you are," he finally says, his hand softly running up and down your arm.

"really, i mean, you're not just saying that, right?" you ask, turning your head down in a failed attempt to hide your flustered state.

"of course not, i don't say things i don't mean. you are pretty and you should know that. anyone that doesn't see that is just plain stupid," he states matter-of-factly, making you smile.

"thanks sparky," you playfully say. "if it means anything, i think you're very handsome too."

this statement, and the endearing nickname, causes all the blood to rush to his face, and you hear the way his heartbeat speeds up immediately after you say it.

you felt that this moment was what marked the start of a romance for the history books between you and jason. and while yours and jason's romantic journey was just beginning, percy and annabeth's may be ending.

at first, their fight wasn't anything serious, but it quickly escalated as annabeth slowly got more and more annoyed by how incompetent percy had been acting lately. deep down, she knew that something was up with him, and that something had to do with you, and she was almost 100% sure of that. she knew something was up, she just didn't know what.

it had started when she noticed percy staring at you and jason whenever you two were in view, and continued from there. annabeth felt that he wasn't paying as much attention to their relationship, or literally anything but you and jason for that matter, and she had enough of it, telling him to fix his priorities and quick if he didn't want to lose her.

this argument led to many others of the same variety, all of which were contributors to the inevitable breakup. he saw it coming, but didn't do anything to stop it. all he could think of was how he ruined a beautiful friendship by not being able to balance a relationship and a friendship, and now the two of you were more distant than ever. he knew that you and jason were getting close, he just didn't know how close, and now he was experiencing the insecurity and inadequacy about himself that you did while watching him and annabeth fall in love.

watching you and jason was probably the most painful experience percy had ever gone through in his life, which anyone would find insane if he ever told them, because really, he had been through so many things that he should consider to be more painful, but he somehow didn't.

now, percy wasn't a stalker or anything, but he couldn't help but notice the small things that you had once noticed about him and annabeth when they were falling in love.

he noticed the way the two of you shyly looked at each other, you giggling and something jason had said, which probably wasn't even that funny, percy thought.

to say he was jealous was an understatement. the once happy and sarcastic boy was now a heartbroken, jealous, and bitter boy. he wasn't sure if he was heartbroken over his breakup with annabeth, seeing you with jason, or a strange combination of both, but he did know that no matter what, his heart was so shattered that he would probably never feel happy again.

this point was pushed even further when he saw the two of you happily cuddling at the campfire one night. he saw the way you were looking up at jason, body completely leaning on him, and whispering things that must've been flirtatious judging by how jason's face went up in flames. you two acted like you didn't care who or if anyone saw you. if it was even possible, percy's heart broke even more.

the universe seemed to be playing a cruel joke on percy, as your positions had now switched. he'd been going back to your hangout spot on the days you two would've hung out, and was severely disappointed each and every time when you didn't show up.

that was, until the time you finally were there, but to his dismay, you were not alone. he didn't want to be weird, but he couldn't help it when he acted on his thoughts and hid behind a tree, intently watching the two of you interact. when he saw the two of you share a sweet kiss, he wished that he hadn't been watching, and he wished that he hadn't even come at all. he didn't know why he expected you to be there alone, not when you weren't there any of the other times. he didn't know why his heart broke more in this moment than it did when he broke up with annabeth.

until he did. he realized that he was in love with you, and there was absolutely nothing he could do about it, because you looked at jason like he was the only person in the world, and jason looked at you like you personally created every good thing on earth, and there was nothing percy could do to get in between this love, not when you finally looked happy with yourself. not when you were happier than he had ever seen you in the 10 years he knew you.

not when you were more in love with jason than you had ever been with percy.
