promise ring

Annabeth Chase was not a fan of Valentine’s day. Maybe she was cynical or cold hearted, but the holiday felt so shallow. It was a preformative day that had spilled into a preformative month, every store decked in pink and red, selling the idea of love but never anything lasting. Red roses wilt and chocolates get eaten. Teenage couples that proclaimed their undying love to one another this month would inevitably break up the next month. It promised so much meaning, but it was more like a shiny sheet of plastic covering everything that actually mattered.***Percy loved Valentine’s day. The grand gestures, the sweet treats, the declarations of love, just the dramatic flare of it all. It was a day where everyone came together and decided that love should be venerated over all else. Troubles fell to the wayside just for the day, and all that mattered was making your loved ones feel special. What was more beautiful than that? Also, did he mention the treats?

ORPercy plans the cheesiest, most special Valentine's Day he possibly can for Annabeth, with the help of his friends, mom, and even a goddess.
