I smiled, running my fingers over Kaldur's hair as he laid out on the blanket, head on my lap.

He reached a hand up and placed it on my face, sighing contently.

"You know, I'm surprised Dad hasn't shown up yet." I said, leaning into his touch.

"As am I starfish." He mumbled sitting up and turning to look at me. "Do you think he will be okay with this?"

"He'd better be." I responded, smiling.

"Be okay with what?"

Welp. No longer surprised.

I turned around and looked at Dad...and Triton.

"Uh... nothing?"

Dad simply raised his eyebrow. "Mind telling the truth?"

I looked at Kaldur before sighing and extending my hand towards my two overprotective family members.

"Is that...?" Triton's eyes went wide before a smile slowly stretched across his face.

Kaldur wrapped his arms around my waist, pulling me close to his chest.

"Calm down, I'm not letting them hurt you." I chuckled as his grip relaxed.

"I'm half upset that you didn't ask for her hand, but I know that you would have done this regardless so..." Dad chuckled, leaning against his trident. "I'm happy."

"And I got video." Triton smiled a camera appearing in his hands.

"Wait, did you-"

"Just do that to terrify Kaldur? Yep. I'm gonna go show Kym and Tyson later." He let the camera disappear.

I sighed. "Why?"

"Because this is adorable!"

I could feel my face heat up and I turned burying my face in Kaldur's chest.

He chuckled, running a hand through my hair. "You would think that you would be used to this by now."

"If you aren't careful I'll make you tell Bruce."

He froze and I laughed. "That's what I thought."

"Well, we're gonna leave. Have fun. But not too much fun, save that for the wedding night."

My face got even hotter. "Triton!"

My brother snorted. "I mean-"

"I will flipping kill you!" I glared at him.

"Uh bye!" He disappeared.

Dad sighed. "If you don't want to go back I own a cabin...I bought it after your mother died. Figured you might want it in case you ever decided to get married."

"So if I didn't die?"

"Basically." He shrugged.

Standing up I walked over and hugged him.

"My baby." He mumbled, returning the hug. "I can't believe my baby's engaged."

"Believe it Dad."

"It's the cabin at Montauk." He pulled away, a large grin on his face.

"Thanks." A mirroring smile appeared on my face.

"Seriously though, save it for after the wedding."

And then he was gone.

"Why do they do this schist?" I groaned.

Kaldur wrapped his arms around me. "Because they don't want you to get hurt." He pressed a kiss to the top of my head.

Relaxing against him I closed my eyes. "I know...just wish they'd stop being overprotective."

He lifted me up and turned me so he was looking me in the eye. "You know, I'm just as protective. I simply conceal it better."

"But-"

"And I know you are as well." His pale green eyes were lit up in amusement.

I placed my hands on the sides of his face. "Because I don't want anyone else to get hurt."

"Starfish...please...put yourself first sometimes." He slowly sat me down, bending so he was still at eye level.

"I have to put oth-" I was cut off as he moved a hand over my mouth.

"Please." Whispering, Kaldur removed his hand. "Please do this. I want to marry you and I can't do that if you die."

I swallowed and nodded. "Okay."

He smiled and lightly kissed me. "Thank you."

Before we could turn it into something less innocent I pulled away. "Do you think they'd consider making out too much fun?"

"Probably." He smirked leaning in. "Normally I would not go against your father, but I trust you will tell me to stop if I do anything that makes you uncomfortable."

I moved closer to him so our lips were barely brushing. "And this is why I love you."

He moved a hand to the back of my neck, his other arm wrapping around my waist.

I pressed our lips together, humming when Kaldur tightened his grip.

Eventually he broke the kiss. "Do you want to go to the cabin?"

I didn't respond for a bit but I nodded. "Yeah."

I closed my eyes and we dissolved, reappearing in the familiar cabin...

Which was actually clean for once. Normally there's like sand everywhere.

"This is homey." Kaldur slowly moved away looking around the living room.

"Yeah, me and my mom used to come here...and don't you dare correct my grammar."

"I know better than to do that starfish." He chuckled sitting on the couch.

I sat down, leaning against him. He wrapped an arm around me, pulling me close.

"Do you care if I lay down?"

"No-" My eyes widened as Kaldur laid down, pulling me with him.

"Kaldur! Warning next time." I giggled.

"Sorry starfish. Do you want to sit up?"

I simply rested my head on his chest listening to his super fast heartbeat.

"You're nervous." I mumbled.

"I always am when it it concerns you. And your family may see this as a threat somehow and decide to kill me."

"True." I sighed.

I slowly started to sing, softly trying not to let him really hear me.

My powers...my siren song...

As I've gotten older it's just gotten stronger. And as it's gotten stronger, it's gotten more dangerous.

I was singing when I thought nobody could hear me, I was on some rocks in the water. But apparently some people could hear me on the cliff above...

Thank the gods we have the Mist.

Kaldur's heartbeat slowed down and he lightly ran a hand over my hair.

"Your voice is beautiful."

I immediately stopped, mouth clamped shut.

He sat up slightly. "What's wrong?"

"I...I don't like it when people hear me. My voice is dangerous. Some people jumped off a cliff before to try to get to me...I don't want you to get hurt trying to do the same."

He smiled softly. "Percy, you do not have to worry about that."

"Why not?" I tilted my head.

"They were trying to get to you. But I don't need to do that starfish. You're right here and..." He took my hands. "You're mine and I'm yours. What more could I wish for?"

Well.....

I have some bad news guys...

My mom's in the hospital. She has pneumonia, anemia, and her kidneys aren't working so she's going to have to do dialysis.

...

On unrelated news I'm taking the ACT tomorrow

Wish me luck
