He cared for the demigods at camp, he saved 24 demigods, demigods he didn't even know, and he brought them back to camp. He had done more than she ever did, and Thalia finally realised that the spotlight wasn't on her anymore, it was on him.
She should have felt angry, most children of Zeus would have. But Thalia didn't, she was relieved. She didn't care for the attention, after all attention was the reason her mother abandoned her and her brother.
Thalia also didn't hate Percy anymore, he was worthy of her respect. He had taken the pressure of the spotlight away from her, that pressure had been lifted off of her shoulders and for that she was grateful. But she was still the child of the prophecy, and that burden remained.
She had carried it alone, Annabeth tried to comfort her, but the daughter of Athena never understood what Thalia was dealing with and she never would. Thalia was once again alone in this burden, but once again Percy came to save the day.
He told her what she had never heard, that he believed in her. He barely knew her, and yet he believed that she could save them all. No one, not Luke, Annabeth or Grover believed in her like he did. Sure they said the words, but they never understood the Olympic challenge Thalia had before her.
But Percy knew. He understood. He had faced Titan's before, and he had lived. He understood exactly what it meant to be the child of the prophecy, the responsibility of having the whole world on your shoulders. And anyone with a brain knew that Percy was the proper choice for the chosen one.
And so did Percy.
But instead of being angry at her for being weak, or telling her that she would be the death of them all, like she feared, Percy just said one thing, 'I believe in you.'
The boy who, for all intents and purposes, should hate her said he believed in her.
And just like that Thalia had someone to carry the burden with. Someone who swore to help her and so far he has kept that promise. She first had respect for him, but that respect soon turned
into a feeling of joy. They only ever shared a few short moments talking, but in those moments
Thalia found herself caring more and more about Percy.
And then somehow, without even realising it happened, Thaia realised she was in love with the demigod.
It wasn't something out of a romance novel. It didn't build up constantly for days and days until it exploded out. It was sudden, it was quick, and Thalia didn't see it coming. If she was to guess when it happened she would say during the concert.
Percy had trusted her and her alone with what he saw during his challenges. He trusted her with that information. He believed in her, he trusted her and she loved him for it. He then took her back home after getting blackout drunk and she did something so stupid, but luckily it turned out
to be the best thing she ever did.
It was a risk, but it was well worth it. Now she had someone, for the first time she had someone to call friend and equal. He trusted her,he believed in her, he would fight with her. Thalia smiled, 'I just might be the luckiest girl in the world.'
Plus he had a nice firm ass and a set of abs that made Thalia's brain stop working, so that was a big plus.
Thalia eventually found him where he always went to train, at the Fist of Zeus. Horrible name for a stone structure if you ask her.
Percy was sitting down cross legged with his eyes closed and all around him were stones flying around in a circular pattern. Thalia was dumbfounded, the stones looked heavy, 80 or 90 pounds. Some were big enough to cause actual harm if thrown at someone. After Percy was controlling all of them with his eyes closed.
Thalia walked up to Percy with a smile, "did you get jealous that Bianca could do something that you can't?"
Percy's face automatically turned into a smile at the sound of Thalia's voice. He opened his eyes and slowly reduced the moving speed of each stone around him before carefully putting them back down. He then looked at the notifications in front of him;

The physic ability to move objects with your mind.

Percy smiled at the levels he had gained via grinding and promptly closed all the boxes. He turned to see Thalia standing there with a smile of her face, "hey you."
