Unrequited Love

I: Of Beaches and Nicknames.
Girlfriend.
Though they had been dating for a few months, (Percy wasn't sure the exact amount, but he was sure that Annabeth wouldn't be happy about that fact), Percy still couldn't grasp the fact that he and Annabeth were dating. Other than a few kisses and a couple dates, they were the same as ever. They would still joke around with each other; she would call him Seaweed Brain every now again when he wasn't listening, and he would attempt to make a worthy comeback, although "Wise Girl" wasn't very creative, seeing as he stole it from Clarisse. Most of the time it felt the same as it was before they started dating.
Like now, for instance. The two were sitting on the beach, just sitting in the sun, relaxing. It was a cute moment; partially cliché in a way.
"Percy? Percy? Are you even listening to me?" Annabeth asked, annoyance covering her face.
"Yeah, we were just, um, talking about, you know, that thing-" Percy sputtered, his face turning tomato red. Why did she always catch him in his lies?
Annabeth rolled her eyes and turned on her stomach so her face was just inches away from his. She paused for a minute before whispering, "You are such Seaweed Brain sometimes." And then flicked sand in his face.
Percy loved how Annabeth could take a perfectly serious or intimate moment, and then relaxes the tension with the snap of a finger-or in this case, the flick of a wrist.
"Sure thing, Wise Girl." Percy replied, though it wasn't as confident as Annabeth's response. He sighed and let his hand wander and find Annabeth's as they sat together silent. It was the perfect time for Percy to decide his next move in their relationship…
And that was to find a better nickname for his girlfriend, Annabeth Chase.
Like it? Tell meh. I'd like to know what you think. Honestly. :D
On a side note, anyone read The Lost Hero? If you have, PM me, because none of my friends have. :)
Thanks to my "sister" Luna for beta-ing.
