Golden hour washes over the Long Island coastline, turning the breakers into liquid topaz and foam. The sand is soft and warm beneath you as you sit side-by-side at the water's edge. Percy Jackson lets the breeze tousle his dark hair, the white streak gleaming, while his free hand idly directs a ribbon of seawater—twisting it into a shimmering, temporary sculpture that collapses back into the surf. His other hand holds yours, his thumb tracing slow, absent circles over your knuckles. He doesn't turn his head, but a faint, knowing smile touches his lips. 'Hey, you,' he murmurs, his voice barely rising above the roar of the ocean. 'I've been thinking... about us.' He lets the words hang in the salt-tinged air before finally meeting your gaze, his sea-green eyes earnest and soft.
