How was it so easy to just talk and be herself with Percy? Over the past year, Anaya looked for peace, for the chance to be who she was, but she never felt truly comfortable. Even though she knew James and Peter and Winter cared about her, there was a party of her that they didn't understand. Percy, however? He understood it all, except perhaps what she did this past year while she was trying to figure out how to mourn Illyana's loss. Still, lying here and talking about constellations- of all things- felt right and normal. She giggled as Percy pointed out another one, punching him softly to try and get him to stop. Anaya was trying to stifle her laughter, since she didn't really want to bother anyone else. "It does make sense," she confirmed, looking up at him when she noticed he was looking down at her now. She smiled. "I guess that depends on what time it is now," she teased. "If it's before midnight, then yes, but if it's after ... that's the first time today." He probably didn't need all that explanation, but she was tired to realize that. Her nose tingled after he kissed it, and Anaya twisted her head so she could rub her nose against his shoulder, closing her eyes as she did so. She was so comfortable lying here with him. She felt Percy sigh and smiled to herself, a little surprised when she felt his head move until it was touching hers lightly. "Me too. Things are just so simple right now, being here with you." Anaya sighed as she shifted, curling up to him. "I don't want morning to come," she breathed, even as she started to fall asleep. "I love you, Percy," she added after a moment. PERSEUS CAREW

”I love you...”Sleep wasn’t something Percy normally had trouble with. However, apparently there was a better way to sleep than he was accustomed too. He didn’t notice the rock poking his back, or the fly that kept buzzing around his ear. He didn’t even care that the birds were annoyingly loud this time of the morning, or that the sun was shining right his his eyes. In fact, he may have stayed there, sleeping in the bliss of Anaya’s arms forever. That is, if Jankin hadn’t found them. A dragon’s laugh is a curious thing. It starts from their stomach, and sort of rumbles through their lungs, neck, and finally out their mouth. Up close it can sound as if an avalanche is brining a joke tumbling down the mountain. From a distance, it can only be described as the sound of several lions roaring in harmony. A dragon’s disappointed growl is nothing like this, however can be just as disconcerting. I find you, here, completely unprotected, uncaring, and totally unawares. Jankin roared in Percy’s mind, sticking his nose on Percy’s forehead and using a huff of breath to ruffle the man’s hair. Does anyone think to tell me where you are going? Does anyone think to say “Jankin, it looks like we might forget to come home tonight, don’t worry, don’t wait up.” NO! He punctuated his last work with a literal roar that shook the birds from their trees and scared rabbits from their holes. Percy was more than awake now, his heart was pounding and his head was aching. His arm was still protectively around Anaya and he glanced at her. A small smile brushed his lips. You are right, Jankin. I’m sorry. I should have told you. Somehow, getting mad at the dragon when he had just spent the night with the woman he loved getting the best sleep of his life, just didn’t seem right.
”How’s that for a wake up call?” He joked to Anaya.

Anaya hadn't slept this good in a year. Percy's arms around her helped her to feel peaceful and calm, and there was a surprising lack of stress in her dreams. She didn't witness Illyana's death again, or the potential deaths of other people who she cared about. Instead, she had a blessedly dreamless sleep. She was a light sleeper, however, so every once in a while she'd almost wake up to feel warm arms around her. She smiled and would go back to sleep. When morning came, she ignored it, not ready to be done with her best night of sleep ever. Then she heard the deep growl. At first, she had no idea what the sound was, but it only took a few moments for her to realize. A dragon's growl is a distinctive sound. Nothing else can quite compare, so when she heard Jankin and Percy's arms tightened around her a little, she figured something was up with him. He was probably upset. It was hard for her to think about that, however, when Percy was smiling at her. An easy smile covered her face as well as she met his eyes. Jankin might be upset, but he probably wouldn't do anything about it. She chuckled, shifting so she could kiss his cheek. "It definitely wasn't the worst I've ever had." Anaya glanced around, "And it's probably best we don't stay here like this much longer, since everyone will be up and about soon," she teased back, quirking an eyebrow at him, "Unless you want everyone to start talking ..."PERSEUS CAREW

She kissed his cheek. It didn’t matter that Jankin was angry. Anaya was here. After a year of searching she was here. And she was in his arms. This was better than any of his dreams had been.
”I always want to talk with you. Besides, I am off duty for a few days due to my injury, luckily. That means I have no obligations. And since you just got back you don’t either. So we can stay on this hill and talk as long as we like.” Percy rolled over slightly so he was facing her, propping his head up on his hand.
Jankin rolled his eyes then lay down on the hill next to them, the length of his body taking up the entire side of the landform. He rested his head on his fore paws. Well, I’m going to stay then. No reason for me to go do anything either.
Percy lifted his hand and brushed some hair out of Anaya’s face. ”So, tell me more about your friends. There is Winter and... uh... a few other people.” He shook his head at his own ignorance. He should have paid attention to their names. They were important to Anaya, so they should be important to him. Well He was going to remember this time.

"I like the sound of that," Anaya answered softly when he said they could stay as long as they wanted. She chuckled and glanced up at him. "So I get you all to myself for a while? That sounds nice." She missed this. Even though her time with Percy hadn't ever been like it was now, she missed spending time with him. She missed talking to him and hearing his voice and holding his hand. Somehow, that was all better now that he told her that he loved her. It was almost like the last year melted away, though it hadn't. She smiled up at him when he touched her hair, asking about her friends. Anaya smiled, "Yeah. Winter ... and James and Peter. The boys are almost like brothers to me. They found me about a month after ... you know." It didn't hurt as bad to think about Illyana now, but she didn't like talking about it if she didn't have to. "I'm actually pretty close with all three of them, but I don't know what they're going to do now. Peter is really adventurous. I'm not sure if he'd want to stop and stay somewhere permanently. James wants to learn about healing so maybe he would ... and I'm pretty sure Winter will leave as soon as she gets the okay from the healers." It was sad to think that her friendship with all three of them might end soon, but it was worth it to be with Percy. Being with him made her feel more whole than anything else ever could.
"How about here? Is there anything I should know about Phil or Chloe or Jake?" They were still close friends with Percy, weren't they? PERSEUS CAREW

Hearing her talk was so relaxing. It reminded him of simpler times years ago when they had just been friends and both of their dragons had been alive. Granted, knowing what he knew now, and being with her, he would not change anything that had happened. He just had forgotten how much he loved to just... talk with Anaya.
“Well I am sure we can find something for James, it might be nice for you to have him here. Peter, I met him... He seemed like a good kid. And Winter... Anaya when you are friends with someone you give your whole self to them. They have to know that, and love you for it or they wouldn’t have followed you here.” He had a feeling she was worrying about where they would go, how life would be different. But life always changed. that was the one constant of life.
”Here.... well the biggest thing to happen recently was what you saw yesterday. We have been prepping for that battle for a while. Phil is... fine. So is Jake. and Chloe is, well she has actually been a big help to me this last year as I was looking for you.” He took her hand in his, entangling their fingers together.

In a way, everything that was happening with Percy seemed like it was too good to be true. She loved him. Anaya loved him for years and now? Now he actually loved her back. She just wanted to freeze time and memorize what every second with him felt like. Anaya didn't want to lose any of it. She closed her eyes for a moment, smiling as she focused on the sound of his voice. She smiled, looking up at him when he was done speaking. "I know ... it's just weird to think of not being with them, and I don't know what they're going to do. Other than you, they were the best friends I've ever had. The boys saved me from a dragon and they know everything. Winter ... I'm not as close with her, but I'm nervous she'll push herself too hard without me there." By no means did Anaya mean that she wanted to leave with Winter, but she would worry about her. Anaya's heart skipped when Percy entwined their fingers. How come everything with him felt so new and wonderful? She never wanted it to stop. "Chloe," she echoed her friend's name when Percy mentioned her being a big help. Then she remembered a question that she'd wanted to ask since she found Percy several days ago. "If you don't mind me asking ... what happened with the two of you? I thought you'd be married by now." It was probably none of her business, but Anaya couldn't keep herself from asking. PERSEUS CAREW

Percy kissed her hand, smiling. ”You could always ask them to stay. they might. Or at least visit. I am sure we could work something out and they could come every once in a while.” He would like to get to know her friends more, if only to know what her life had been like over the last year. He knew it couldn’t have been easy. Illyana was a part of her, and loosing that part? It was the hardest thing anyone could go through. He also wanted to thank them for being there with her, when he couldn’t.
When Anaya brought up Chloe he blushed a little. But why? He had already told Anaya he loved her, would it matter if she knew when he had found out?
”Well, it was a few weeks after you left. I had just come back from trying to find you... again. Anyway, Chloe and I were talking and she pointed out that I loved you. At first I thought she was just joking, but... then I realized that it was true. I did love. I do love you. She is the reason I kept looking for you. Even after everyone else stopped. It was around then that we broke up, but she is doing really well and we go and do things together all the time. Not sure what I did to deserve her, but I am lucky to have such a good friend.” He squeezed her hand, looking into her eyes and feeling a surge of joy. ”Have I mentioned how glad I am that you are back?”

Percy was being so sweet and Anaya absolutely loved it. He suggested her asking them to stay or visit or something and she nodded. "Okay. I think the twins might agree, if I suggest it the right way," she thought for a moment, trying to come up with the best way to ask them. Maybe if she brought it up to James earlier he'd be able to help convince Peter. "Winter would probably agree to visits." And if not, maybe Anaya could visit her every once in a while. She focused on Percy's face as he explained what happened with him and Chloe. Okay, it was kind of interesting, kind of funny. "Wait ... so Chloe told you that you're in love with me?" She couldn't resist the chance to tease him. "How long would it have taken for you to figure it out on your own?" Anaya was grinning. Hopefully Percy wouldn't get annoyed by it, but she had to. "So did she take your vacant 'best friend' slot?" As much as Anaya loved Chloe and was grateful to her for helping Percy figure out his feelings, there was a specific way she wanted him to answer that question. At his question, she smiled. "You might have ... I wouldn't mind you mentioning it again though," Anaya squeezed his hand back, looking into his eyes and hardly believing this was happening. It couldn't be real, could it? Only a week ago, she never would have imagined him reacting this way to her return. She leaned over and gave him a kiss, "Thank you, Percy." For loving her and helping her come back. For everything.

Percy loved her smile. And he would love it if her friends stayed. He hoped she could convince them. And maybe then he could get out of awkward conversations about his past relationships by talking with her friends.
”I don’t know. I can be kind of oblivious about things like that... if you haven’t noticed.” He teased back, squeezing her hand. He thought back on that time, how he had been so worried about Anaya and couldn’t think of anything else. Honestly, he might never have realized that he loved her without Chloe’s help. He hadn’t know what real love was until that night when she helped him recognize it.
At Anaya’s next statement Percy let go of her hand and cupped her cheek. ”Just because you left doesn’t mean you stopped being my best friend. I don’t think anyone could ever take your place.” He could have teased her about it, but that didn’t seem the right move at the moment. It seemed better to convincer her, beyond any shadow of a doubt, that he loved her, that she was the only girl for him.
”I am so glad you are back. I missed you so much.” He responded to her kiss. She thanked him, and he just kissed her again. And again. And again.

Anaya smiled as Percy explained that he could be kind of oblivious, then chuckled a little when he teased her back. "Oh, I've noticed," she answered with a smirk. It was easier to joke about this sort of thing now that she knew he loved her. And, well ... it was kind of true. She'd loved him for years and he never noticed. Who knew how long he was in love without knowing it? "But I love you anyway," Anaya promised, her smile turning more sincere. Then he was saying that he didn't think anyone could take her place and Anaya's eyes started to water, a few tears falling before she could stop them. "Percy, you - you can't say things like that. You're going to turn me into a complete mess," she told him, reaching up to wipe away her tears quickly. Sure, that was exactly what she needed to hear from him right then, but she couldn't bring herself to actually say that. He reaffirmed that he missed her and was glad she was back and Anaya was grinning again, but she didn't have time to say anything back because he was kissing her. Anaya leaned closer as she returned the kiss, smiling against his lips. She didn't know how long she stayed there with him and honestly, she didn't care. PERSEUS CAREW

Kate couldn’t stop thinking about Percy. He had come into her room last night, showing off his well sculpted chest, then left just as quickly. That was downright inconsiderate. The least he could have done was keep his shirt off. She had found it difficult to sleep until she had decided that she would visit him first thing in the morning.
That morning, after arranging her hair and makeup, she found herself in front of Percy’s door, knocking. There was no answer. She knocked again. No answer. She looked through the window, but everything was dark. She stepped away, frowning. Where could he be?
After searching for a while throughout the camp, she finally came across someone who had seen Jankin a little way outside the camp. Well, if that was where Jankin was, that was where Percy would be. The two were not often separated.
It didn’t take long for her to spot the large black dragon. She trucked up the hill, grinning. He couldn’t think of a reason for him to barge into her room if he didn’t want her to come looking for him. As she approached the top of the hill, she heard voices. Then peaking over the top of the hill she saw Percy... and that tramp Anaya. What did he see in her? Didn’t she know that Percy belonged to Kate? She frowned, grinding her teeth. Then when she looked back over the top of the hill the two were kissing.
Kate felt her face flush and her eyes go wide. Why was he letting that hussy kiss him? But she had to approach this with some dignity if she was going to come out on top. So she pinched her cheeks and stood up tall.
”Oh Percy! Where are you?” She called, acting as if she was only just happening upon the couple. ”Oh, Anaya, I didn’t expect to see you here.” She added bitterly.

Percy pulled Anaya closer to him, reveling in the softness of her lips, the heat of her breath. He smiled against her lips, unaware that someone was watching them.
It was only moments, or perhaps hours, later that a voice broke through the silence of the forest around them. Percy pulled away, frowning a little. Who was...
”Kate?” He asked, looking over Anaya’s head at the gorgeous blonde woman walking up the hill. He pushed himself up to a sitting position, a look of confusion on his face. What was she doing here? And how did she find them? And why on earth did she think that now was a good time to talk? Couldn’t she see that they were busy?
Percy looked at Anaya apologetically, giving her a smile. ”What are you doing here?”

Anaya never wanted these moments to end. Lying on the hill, wrapped in Percy's arms, she felt happier than she had in a long time. For the first time in a long time, everything felt right and she felt whole. It was all because of Percy too. Anaya knew that. He was the one thing that made such a difference in her life. He always had, but now it was even better. She jumped when she heard someone calling nearby and Percy broke their kiss. Anaya frowned, confused. Didn't he say he didn't have any responsibilities today? She sat up after he did, her frown deepening when she realized it was Kate. What was Kate doing here? Anaya touched Percy's arm, not ready to let him go. Especially since it was Kate who approached them, and was now glaring at Anaya, naturally. Anaya stiffened, but she didn't pull away. When Percy looked back at her, Anaya smiled a little before looping her arm with his and resting her cheek on his shoulder. She knew that Kate wanted her to leave, and she definitely didn't want Anaya close with Percy, but she didn't care. She didn't want to leave him with Kate. Not unless Percy asked her to.
