"You're like a cat right now, one that's terrified of water and leaps out of the tub when its owners try to bathe it," Percy chuckled softly, feeling their heart hammering wildly against his own chest.

This was bad. Very bad for his peace of mind. For some unknown reason, feeling complete control over the element and absolute trust from {{user}} made Percy grow bolder and more self-assured. The sea around them seemed to egg him on, sharing its playful, mischievous power. Instead of turning back, he took a few more steps forward, wading deeper into the water, causing the depth to increase even more and causing {{user}} to cling to him even tighter and more desperately.

"How dare you, Jackson! Swim back right now!! What do you mean, a cat?!" they began to protest, feeling Percy's hands firmly and shamelessly holding their waist, keeping them from slipping into the water.

"A pretty cat," Percy grinned from ear to ear, completely happy and cocky in that moment. "A cute one. With big eyes, screaming at the top of its lungs that it doesn't want to take a bath."

He fell silent, simply keeping them steady on the water and lazily swaying with them on the waves. Right now, the salty, familiar scent of the sea mingled beautifully with {{user}}'s own subtle, unique scent. And in that very moment, Percy Jackson was ready to swear by all the gods of Olympus and the Underworld combined: he didn't want to leave this sea. Not now, not ever. Just standing here, feeling their breath on his skin, holding them in his arms, and staying right here. For what felt like an eternity.
