A/N: Heres a little 2-shot for your entertainment! This story is Percabeth, but more towards the end (second chapter). Right now, enjoy some Piper and Jason! and some arguing...:)
Piper's hand was grasped tightly in his as thy walked down towards the beach. The sun was just setting, and they wanted to see it set before they had go to dinner. As their toes got closer to the sand, they quickly realized someone else had the same idea.
Percy and Annabeth sat next to each other on a wool blanket facing the ocean, Textbooks and papers scattered around them. They seemed to be arguing over something, and Jason could hear Percy shouting.
"So what if I don't look at you when you're talking? It's not like I'm not listening!" He cried.
"Yeah, right, Percy," Annabeth spat back. "As if you actually care about this!"
Percy's hands clenched. "Says you! I do too care, it's just that learning Ancient Greek is so confusing!" He slammed the textbook down into the sand.
"Damn it, Percy, you ruined the book! And besides, you're wired to know ancient greek! Honestly, it can't be that hard!" Annabeth stood up, and Percy did the same
"Well it is," Percy shot back.
"What are you, stupid?" Annabeth's eyes were unforgiving, like steel.
Hurt flashed quickly on Percy's face for a few seconds, then was replaced with a bout of scary anger. Jason took a step back, as he was scared of both of them like this.
"Really, you too? At least I'm not a know-it-all! You always wonder why people get so frustrated with you, and It's just because you're a smart ass and you try to show them up!" Percy shouted.
Piper and Jason had stopped walking, and stood partially hidden behind a tree to avoid the growing fight.
"Ugh, what the Hades, Percy! The only reason I seem like such a smart ass is because I've got ten times the brains you have!"
Waves crashed against the sand roughly. Percy's anger was getting out of hand.
"Get off your high horse, Annabeth. Just because you design Olympus doesn't make you great! you're not that good!" Yelled Percy.
"Honestly, Percy? I don't see you doing something like building temples for the gods. You just sit around talking to fish. At least I have a talent that will get me a job so I don't have to work at a McDonald's and live with my parents!"
"Last time I checked untalented people don't save olympus and get the offer to become a god." Percy spat at Annabeth.
"Yeah well no surprise you turned it down, since you're such a stupid idiot!"
"Well I turned it down for you! But I guess I was wrong there too!"
"I guess so!"
And on that last note, Percy scuffed at the sand with his shoe angrily and stomped off, clenching and unclenching his fists. Annabeth began to pick up her things. Jason tried not to notice she was furiously wiping at her eyes as she did so. He looked at Piper in disbelief.
"Oh my gods," was all Jason could muster.
Piper agreed, "You said it."
"Are they always like that? I though they were the 'perfect couple'." Jason wondered.
She shrugged, and tucked her auburn hair behind her ear. "Well, according to the other girls in my cabin, they've always been like that. Ever since they were 12, and went on a quest together with Percy's best friend Grover, they never really got along even though they were best friends. Everyone knew it was just a cover up after a year or so and that with each quest their relationship grew stronger. And then when they were fourteen there was a huge scare that Percy had died fighting on Mount Saint Helens, and Annabeth was a complete wreck. Everyone suspected something had happened between them while they were out, and I guess Annabeth had told Silena they kissed or something. And then Percy came back. But I digress. On Percy's birthday they finally got together after the war, and everyone caught them kissing in the dining pavilion and threw them in the canoe lake...which I guess they didn't come up for a while, what with Percy having water powers. Anyways, they're still best friends, and I guess they never lost that arguing quality. I don't really know." She took a deep breath, and realized Jason was trying not to laugh at her.
"Oh gosh, I went on and on, didn't I?" She blushed.
Jason shook his head. "Its fine, It was an interesting story. So they didn't just break up? That fight was pretty harsh."
"Nah," Piper said. "They still love each other, give it a day and they'll be back together."
They continued walking down to the water hand in hand.
"Don't you think it's sad how they argue so much?" Piper asked.
"Kind of, but I think it also makes them who they are, and that's what makes them work so well."
Piper thought about what Jason had said for a moment. "Like it makes the good things about each other and being together stand out so much more."
A smile pulled at the corners of his mouth. "Maybe we should fight more often, then."
She grinned and jokingly punched him in the arm. "How about no," She replied.
He smiled again and kissed her softly on the lips. "Come on, Pipes."
They continued walking, both secretly happy that they didn't have to fight to see the good things about each other.
