Don't be Late

*Authors Note*
I own nothing affiliated with Percy Jackson! Rick Roirdan is Amazing and owns everything except the small plot.
I hope you enjoy! I was bored so this probably isn't very well written and probably cheesy. As always… Review!

Don't be Late
Percy was in big trouble. Annabeth had told him to meet her for training at 2:30. It was 3:15. It wasn't like he wanted to be late; on the contrary, he loved spending time with Annabeth. You could even say he had a bit of a crush on her. Unfortunately Percy had lost track of time with Grover and he had looked at his watch to check the time to realize he was late.
The armory was not too far of a run for Percy but he ran as fast as he possibly could hoping Annabeth didn't A. Leave a long time ago or B. Be waiting there to pummel him. He ran into the armory completely out of breath. There was Annabeth. She didn't look mad but she wasn't happy either. It was almost as if she was disappointed.
"Why were you so late?" said Annabeth looking straight at Percy.
"Grover… lost track… sorry…" Percy was still completely out of breath and was sitting on the ground barely getting the words out. Annabeth seemed to understand though and the fact that he was out of breath showed her he had been in a hurry to get here.
"Well seaweed-brain, lucky for you I'm not mad."
"You aren't? Whew, thank goodness. I though you would be really mad at me." Percy breathed a deep sigh of relief. She wasn't mad. Percy looked at Annabeth, she looked as if she needed to say something but she was holding back. "What's wrong Annabeth?"
"It's just well…" Percy had never imagined Annabeth to be speechless yet here she was not making a sound yet he could tell she was nervous.
"I need to ask you something Percy" Annabeth took a deep breath. Percy nodded gave her his attention. "Percy, I kind of was like wondering if you would like ummm… you know, like go, ummm... out with err me?" Annabeth blushed deep crimson and looked at her feet while Percy suppressed the strong desire to laugh.
"That's what's wrong? Of course I'll go out with you! You are amazing Annabeth. You are gorgeous and smart and if I ever stepped out of line you would punch me until I apologized which might me just what I need." Percy touched Annabeth's shoulders and smiled at her as he talked in a loving voice. Annabeth laughed and smiled as she looked lovingly at Percy.
"You really think all that about me?" Annabeth glanced up at Percy her eyes glimmering with admiration.
"Of course!" said Percy as if there was no other answer that that. "You are the most amazing girl I have ever met and that's saying something because I've met a lot of people." Percy looked at Annabeth and started to lean in for a quick kiss but just as their lips were about to touch Grover came busting through the Armory and Percy and Annabeth immediately jumped about 5 feet apart.
"Guys! Hey I thought you might be here. You guys done training?" Annabeth and Percy glanced at each other and started laughing. Grover looked at them as if he missed something but they regained their composure and told Grover that they were indeed done. The duo walked behind Grover down the path. Suddenly Annabeth grabbed hold of Percy's hand as they walked.
"Percy, though we are finished with training today I think you could use some more work." Annabeth looked at Percy with a twinkle in her eye. Percy looked at her with raised eyebrows.
"Sure I guess I need all the help I can get."
The pair grinned at each other knowingly and Grover wasn't paying attention to them because he had spotted a couple of the Aphrodite girls walking near by.
"You know, I think I'd better go. You guys have fun doing whatever." Grover ran off and Percy laughed at him while Annabeth rolled her eyes and said something under her breath that sounded suspiciously an insult to Percy's gender.
The two walked on and eventually came to a stop when they realized that Clarisse had just spotted the pair and had seen them holding hands before they had hastily let go. The looked at each other and knew that the jig was up.
"Great, we have been dating all of 10 minutes and Clarisse already knows.", said Annabeth frustratingly. Percy looked at her and laughed.
"Yeah well… We still on for training tomorrow?" said Percy wonderingly.
"I suppose, but don't be late if you value your life." Annabeth said this with a smile before walking off the Athena cabin. Percy watched her leave and made a note to self that he would be there waiting for her at least 20 minutes early. Of course he was there 5 minutes late the next day but hey, its the thought that counts.
