I wrote that last sentence to annoy her because she's telling me what to do, and she's watching me write this. Meow. I did tell you guys I was a cat.

Do You See it on Your Skin?

Percabeth

Percy knew that soulmates could talk to each other through their skin. It was just how the world worked. Whatever you did to your skin, it popped up on your soulmate's skin too. Cuts and bruises appeared with less intensity though, but if you doodled a flower on your hand, they would see a flower forming on theirs too. It wasn't uncommon to see somebody walking into class with a mustache on their face either.

When he was seven years old, he ran out of scrap paper on a math test, so he wrote out 17+35 on his arm. He hoped his soulmate wouldn't mind. Then he got distracted as a bird flew past the window, and looked away for a moment. Curse his ADHD. But when he looked back at his arm to solve the problem, 52 was already written in neat handwriting on his arm. He got super excited, and forgot all about his test. Hi, he wrote. I'm Percy. What's your name?

Stop scribbling on me, came the reply. I'm trying to read and it's distracting.Percy was annoyed. At least tell me your name! I'm your soulmate, I deserve to know that much! His handwriting was basically scribbles compared to what his soulmate's looked like, but it was still legible! They had no right to say that!

He spent the rest of the time staring at his arm, waiting for his soulmate to reply, and when the teacher collected his test, he realized he hadn't even written 52 down on the paper. He was so going to fail this test.

Annabeth was in a public library in San Francisco. She woke up early on Monday mornings to go to the library and read. When it became half an hour before school started, she would pack up and walk to school. She was reading the Harry Potter series again, because it was a classic, and noticed addition being written on her arm, and scoffed. Seriously? Her soulmate couldn't even do that in their head? Before she knew what she was doing, she was writing the answer on her arm. She knew she shouldn't have done that.

Annabeth had never wanted a soulmate. Her father was a perfect example. Did being soulmates with her mom keep her from ditching them? No. So what was the point of talking to her soulmate if they were that stupid anyway? Talking to them meant a greater chance of falling in love, and she did not want to fall in love with somebody who couldn't do 17+35 in their head. So she wrote a snarky reply to her soulmate's question. Apparently his name was Percy, and he had terrible handwriting. That was all she wanted to know about him, and ignored him for the rest of the day. She made herself a promise never to talk to him again if she could help it.

Over the next few years, he noticed that his soulmate got quite a lot of cuts and bruises. And because of the stupid skin link, he also got a bunch of wounds, including some on his leg that looked like...claw marks? That was interesting. Did she get attacked by a bear or something? She didn't ever respond to his questions again though, and he soon stopped trying. Obviously to her, soulmates weren't important. He tried to get over it too. Just thinking about her made Percy angry. He was on a field trip to the museum, and he was determined not to get kicked out of Yancy Academy this time, even if Nancy Bobofit was busy throwing PB&J sandwich bits into his friend Grover's hair. Even if he wanted to punch her in the face.

Well, that plan failed miserably. First, Nancy fell into the fountain and blamed him for it. Then his math teacher turned into a hag. It wasn't like she wasn't one already, but still. Not the best day ever. And after she turns to yellow dust and he gets kicked out anyway, he thought he'd finally have some peace at home for summer vacation.

He thought wrong yet again. Now he's in the infirmary of some summer camp that his mom died to get him to, holding the horn that he stabbed that cow-thing with last night. He sees a blonde girl, and the first thing he notices about her when Chiron introduces him to her is that her arms are bare, just like his. Usually people have all sorts of things on their arms from talking with their soulmate, but hers are blank. Maybe her soulmate ditched her too.

Annabeth learns that her dad and mom's soulmate exchange didn't work because Athena was a goddess. She got new soulmate links like every other week. Annabeth also notices that Percy's arms are bare, just like hers. However, she doesn't mention it, and is glad when he doesn't either. She supposes he knows what it feels like to be asked way too many question about why they don't talk to their soulmate. She can't help but like him though. Although he is a seaweed brain, he's nice and funny and super loyal. He also makes a good sparring partner. He balances out her knife fighting with the length of his sword, and they also make a great duo in Capture the Flag, especially because he draws strength from the creek. They go on many quests together, and manage to survive all or them somehow.

Before Percy and Annabeth head into the Labyrinth, Percy decides to pop the question. "Why don't you talk to your soulmate?" Annabeth looks surprised, but answers anyway. "I stopped talking to them because they were really idiotic. Now that I think about it, a little bit like you actually. Plus, I sort of promised myself I'd never talk to them again before I knew about the gods, you know? I thought soulmates weren't a guarantee that I'd be happy. It's a little late now to go back on that. I've ignored them for so long." Percy answers, "My soulmate only wrote one sentence to me. They weren't the best, but I've moved on from trying to contact them. I'll find somebody else, or stay single. I'd be happy either way." Annabeth shrugs. "Maybe you should contact them. Who knows. They might have realized that it was a mistake to ignore you. I know I would. You're a great friend." Percy says, "I'll think about it."

After the war with Kronos, Percy starts dating Annabeth anyway. They figured that since she was ignoring her soulmate, it didn't really matter. And he was going to tell his soulmate that he was going out with somebody, and he was happy. They sit down in the field under Thalia's tree, and Percy pulls out a marker and begins to write. Hello again, soulmate. He wrote. It's been so long since we talked. I just wanted you to know that I've move on, and that I'm happy. I don't want to spend the rest of my life chasing after somebody who doesn't even want to talk to me. Percy would have kept on writing, but Annabeth gave a surprised yelp from beside him. He looked over, thinking that she saw a monster, but she was staring in horror at her arm. On it, in Percy's handwriting, were the exact same words he had written on his own arm not a minute earlier. "You said I was an idiot Annabeth! How could you?" Percy said in feigned hurt. "You ignored me for nine years!" Annabeth opened her mouth to say something, but Percy stopped it with a kiss. When they finally came up for air, Percy grinned. "You and me, Wise Girl. Forever."

Yes! I'm terrible at sappy things, but I think it turned out alright. I'm planning all the basic ships: Jiper, Caleo, Frazel, Solangelo, you know. Maybe one per chapter.

Thanks for reading!
