Chapter Nineteen
"Bubbles I am your maid of honour, not the satyr," Kym protested.
"Grover's my best friend!" Percy argued back.
"I'm your sister!"
"Once again, Grover is my best friend."
Annabeth leaned over to whisper in Triton's ear, "Do they always do that?"
"You'd be surprised," Triton whispered back, watching the argument with glee.
Thanatos was also watching the argument, resting his chin on his boyfriends shoulder while having his arms wrapped around the shorter gods waist.
"From what Tri has told me, I would say they do that a lot," Thanatos said.
"Oi you two stop reminding me of how single I am," Kym said pointing at the offending couple.
Poseidon sighed, "Kym you're married."
"Well I want a divorce!"
"Then sort that out with Hera," Poseidon said dryly, forever the common sense filter among his children.
"You know what? Thats exactly what I'm gonna do!"
"Thats why I said it."
Triton sighed and leaned his head to the side to rest it on top of Thanatos'.
Kym shot Thanatos and Triton a glare before turning back to Percy, "I will be your maid of honour Perseus."
"I thought you were getting a divorce," Percy shot back.
"I will be your maid of honour first, then divorce."
Thanatos raised an eyebrow, "So while one happy couple gets married another will fall apart?"
"Bold of you to assume I'm happy," Kym deadpanned.
Annabeth started laughing.
Kym grinned and pointed at Annabeth, "I like this one."
Grover watched Kym in fear from his hiding spot behind Percy. "I say let your sister be your maid of honour."
Percy gaped, "Grover you're supposed to be on my side!"
Grover ducked down again when the attention of all the gods in the room was drawn towards him. "I like not being smited thank you very much."
"Don't worry, I'll protect you from my sister."
"I'm not that confident in your abilities dude."
Kym grinned at Percy, "I wouldn't be confident that he could take me on either."
"Rude."
"Thank you."
Triton moved his head to whisper in Thanatos' ear, "I'd say if we left now they wouldn't notice."
Thanatos thought for a moment, "It's either in here and listen to the argument or go out and listen to Hera yell at Zeus."
Triton hummed, "So stay here then?"
"I know that you're loving watching this," Thanatos said.
Triton just smiled and turned back to watch the argument. Leaning back against his boyfriend.
Annabeth watched the couple, "You two are adorable."
Kym appeared at Annabeth's side, trying and failing to comfortably rest her arm upon the demigods shoulder. "I know, I want to throw up."
Annabeth didn't reply, instead she rested her arm on the goddesses shoulder. Able to do it comfortably as she was a few inches taller.
Percy groaned, "You said that about me and Apollo too!"
"I say it about all couples when I'm single. All you peasants have no right making everyone else feel single," Kym said, checking her blue nails for any chips. Of course there was none because Anteros had kidnapped her a few hours ago to force- ahem help her get ready.
"Then maybe get a date instead of complaining all the time," Percy said.
Grover started muttering a quick prayer from his hiding spot. Already accepting that Percy would be the cause of his death.
Kym just lifted her middle finger in response.
Poseidon groaned, "Kym, once again, you are married."
"In a few hours I won't be! I'll be having my hot girl summer!"
"What about the wedding?" Triton said adding more fuel to the argument.
"I shall be an unhappily married woman while being Bubbles' maid of honour, after that.... I'll have my hot girl summer."
Poseidon groaned and caved in to the temptation that had been teasing him since Kym had wanted to be maid of honour. He slammed his head against the wall.

Eros was extremely frustrated, much to Hermes' amusement.
"No Hermes you can NOT show up wearing trousers that show your ass with slut written across in glitter," Eros growled.
"It would be funny," Hermes protested.
Apollo laughed at the face Eros made before he was aiming an arrow at Hermes' face.
"Wait no Eros! Don't shoot my brother!" Apollo said jumping in front of the pissed off love god.
Eros instantly made his bow vanish.
Apollo sighed in relief, "Thank you."
"Oh no I'm not doing it because you asked me not to. I'm not doing it because that dress better not get ruindd because it shows off your ass brilliantly and I won't ruin that view by spilling Hermes' ichor on it."
Apollo blinked, "Alrightly, ignoring all of that. Hermes! What in Hestia's burnt pudding are you wearing?"
Eros peaked over Apollo's shoulder and pointed at Hermes' feet, "And what are those?"
Hermes grinned, "These beauties are my crocs."
"Cerberus' chew toys, kill me now," Eros whispered, stumbling back in shock.
Apollo was not impressed, "Change."
Hermes raised an eyebrow at his older brother.
"Now!"
Hermes jumped and started walking away, "Yes sir."
Once Hermes was gone Apollo sank back into the seat he had previously vacated.
The two gods stayed in silence for a moment.
Eros finally spoke up, "Do you really trust him not to do something stupid?"
"No," Apollo groaned. "But right now I just want to see Percy."
"NO!" Eros shrieked, throwing a nail file at Apollo's face which the sun god narrowly dodged. "You will see Percy at the ceremony."
"But I want to see him now."
"No."
"Yes."
"ARTEMIS! APOLLO IS WHINING AGAIN!"
"SERIOUSLY?"
Artemis stalked through the door, already dressed in a white suit that complimented her figure nicely. "What is he whining about now?"
"He wants to see Percy," Eros blurted out.
Artemis rolled her eyes, "Apollo stop being a simp."
"But I really want to see him."
"Then why don't you?"
Eros groaned and let his head fall into his hands.
"What?" Apollo asked.
"You can go see Percy, whats stopping you?"
"A headache called Eros," Apollo deadpanned.
"The two of you are nightmares dressed as a daydream," Eros muttered into his hands.
The twins turned to look at the god.
"Did he just?"
"I think he did."
"Wow."
"I know."
Eros groaned again. Apollo and Hermes were hard enough to deal with. Apollo and Artemis would be impossible to deal with and still come out with his sanity intact.
Thank Aeolus' plastic surgery that the wedding is in two hours. His sanity might manage that long. Barely.

Triton and Thanatos were hiding out in a shadowy alcove on Olympus.
Neither of them were allowed to leave the temple until the wedding was about to start. It wad Poseidon's own way of making sure that they wouldn't sneak off.
So here they were, hiding out in an alcove. Thanatos using his wings to hide them from sight.
The temple was (unfortunately) completely dry. The only water coming from the plumbing. Apparently the daughter of Athena that had designed it did not feel the need to make it underwater. At least she made part of it underwater, only a part.
Triton and Thanatos were avoiding the underwater part as that was close to where Kymopoleia and Percy were still arguing.
They wanted to save themselves the headache.
Triton looked up to Thanatos, "We're alone now."
"Yeah we are," Thanatos said, smiling at the slightly shorter god.
Triton put one hand on thr death god's neck and tangled his other hands within his dark hair. "Completely alone."
"I wouldn't say that in case someone walked past. I think they'd find it weird that a shadow is talking."
Triton laughed before dipping Thanatos' head down for a kiss.
When they pulled apart they pressed their foreheads together.
"I love you."
"I love you too."
"I love you more!"
"Ok," Thanatos said softly. He brought up one hand and ran it through his boyfriends hair. "I won't argue with you."
There was a crash that echoed along the corridor and a distinctive yell from a distressed satyr.
Triton pressed another kiss to his boyfriends lips. "We should probably go out there shouldn't we."
Thanatos made a face, "We probably should."
"But I really don't want to."
"Me neither. Should we just let your siblings kill each other?"
Triton hummed and thought for a moment, "I really wouldn't mind."
"Liar."
"-but then again, Dad is there and I don't think he would let either one of them die."
"So we can just stay here then?"
"Of course," Triton said with a grin.
Thanatos matched his grin before joining their lips together once again.

Percy was blind folded as he walked down the aisle.
Him and Apollo both agreed on it. Neither would see each other until they were holding hands at the altar.
One thing Percy hated though was the heels.
Him and Apollo thought it would be funny to dress as a straight couple while getting married. So that historians in the future would have no doubt that they were hopelessly in love and not just 'close friends'.
One would wear a tux and the other a dress. The problem was however that they didn't think through who would wear the dress and who would wear the tux.
Percy has to admit, he looks fabulous in a dress. The heels were a killer though. Women that can walk in heels and not snap their ankles should a prize or something. Heels were the killer of feet, supreme instruments of torture. They hurt a lot. His toes were squished and he could barely stand straight without feeling like he would topple over with the slightest breeze.
He father was leading him down the aisle since Percy could not see a damn thing.
"Here you go," Poseidon said quietly, helping him move around in what Percy hoped was a position to face Apollo. Poseidon gently moved his hands and Percy felt warm hands hold his own.
"Hi love," said the voice of Percy's beloved.
"Hi sunshine."
Suddenly Percy could see again. The first thing he saw was Apollos glorious blue eyes.
Percy eyes his soon-to-be husband up and down and fell victim to a peel of giggle when he realised that Apollo was also wearing a white dress.
Apollo was in a similar situation as him except he actually looked comfortable in his heals. The dress left his shoulders bare and thin white strips of fabric went around his biceps, coming from the bodice of the dress.
Apollo just grinned as he watched Percy nearly topple over from laughing. He slipped his hands from Percy's and put them on the younger gods waist.
"I've got to say, you look amazing in a dress," Apollo said once Percy had stopped laughing.
"I'd say the same except you look good in everything."
"Thank you darling."
"You are very welcome sweetheart."
"Ahem," said Hera.
"Oh right yes the cermony," Apollo said, trying to brush off the fact that he forgot he was at his own wedding.
Hera started into her speech thingy. Percy had no idea what it was called. He barely even listened to it. He just stared at Apollo.
Apollo stared straight back.
This was the beginning of their lives together. A breeze and a flying disk wasn't going to break them apart this time.
Nothing would.
If something tried... they could go to Tartarus in a million pieces. Or as a pile of ash.
They couldn't wait to start their lives together.
The marriage wasn't a sign of their love. Nothing could compare to the love they held for each other. No the marriage was more of a sign to the other gods saying 'This one is taken, find your own'.
Ignoring all the murderous intentions, Apollo and Percy lived happily ever after.
The end.
I just want to say thank you to everyone. Thank you for reading this, thank you to everyone who voted for this story, thank you to everyone who commented. Just thank you for everything. I love all of you so so much. Everytime I see a comment it makes my whole day. The same with votes.
Just thank you.
Also I feel like its important to say that I won't be able to say goodbye to my dumbasses fully. I will do a one-shot or two or maybe a few. Your guess is as good as mine. Or who knows, they might appear in other fanfics that I write in the future.
IMPORTANT: there's a one-shot and it's called 'After it All' and its a bunch of short stories about life on Olympus and Percy and Apollo's beautiful (chaotic) daughter Selena. Also featuring the hunters of Artemis... you should go check it out :D
Goodbye, until next time :)
