Okay, this is a redo of the Life of Percy and Annabeth. Hopefully this will be better than the old one and I won't get stuck with writer's block as often. And no, this has nothing to do with the Taylor Swift song.
The Story of Us
Chapter 1
5 years
A knock on the door woke Percy up.
"Go away," he muttered as he turned over, falling off the bed with an "oof".
"It's Annabeth."
He jumped up. He brushed his hair down with his fingers and went to the door.
"Hey," he smiled.
"Hey."
"Why were you still in bed? Breakfast already started."
He cursed. "I'll be there soon. I gotta get dressed."
He shut the door and ran to his dresser pulling some jeans and a t-shirt. In a moment he was dressed, and walking out the door.
"Took you long enough," Annabeth teased.
"Ha ha."
"Happy birthday."
"Wait, what?"
"Wow, you forgot your own birthday? You are such a seaweed brain."
"It's my specialty."
She rolled her eyes as they walked into the dining pavilion. He kissed her, and she headed to the Athena table.
"So, how's it feel to be 21 and still going to summer camp?" Grover asked, holding a nonexistent microphone in front of Percy.
"It feels like you'll be punched in your face if you don't get your smelly hand away from mine."
Grover pulled back his hand quickly. "Sorry," he muttered.
"So, dude, did you ask Juniper or what?" Percy asked quietly.
Grover glared at him. "Yes."
"Cool, so I don't have to whisper. What'd she say?"
"What do you think?"
"Yes?" Percy asked with a goofy grin on his face.
Grover gave him a look that said no duh, genius.
"So how's it feel to be getting married to a tree?" Percy said the same way Grover had done before.
"Now I know how you felt. I will never do that again."
Percy burst out laughing, earning curious stares from half the camp. Grover rolled his eyes and began chewing his can again. Luckily, Percy started eating too, saving him from more questions and embarrassment.
"Where are we going?" Annabeth muttered, tripping over another rock as Percy guided her to the beach.
"You'll see," he said, for the tenth time. "It's not easy guiding you with my hands over your eyes."
"If you didn't want me to see, you could've put a blindfold on me. It would've been easier for both of us."
"Oh sorry. If we do this again, I'll do that instead." He stopped. "We're here." He smiled.
"Finally. But where is here?"
He pulled his hands away from her eyes. She gasped. Percy had set up a table by the water with candles and food, and it was all so romantic.
"Percy, why did you do this?"
"Did WiseGirl forget something? Our five year anniversary is today. Duh! Remember you kissed me on my birthday?"
"Of course I remember, Seaweed Brain." She turned around, put her arms around his neck, and kissed him.
He pulled back and walked over to the table and pulled out one of the chairs for Annabeth. She smiled and sat down. He walked over and sat down in the other chair.
"So I see you've made a chocolate brick."
He nodded, smiling. "With extra blue cement."
They laughed, remembering the cake Tyson had helped Annabeth make for Percy, five years ago.
When they had finished eating, Percy looked so nervous he looked like he would explode.
"What's wrong?" Annabeth asked, seeing him.
"Nothing," he said quickly.
"It's so beautiful," Annabeth sighed, looking at the moon and the stars reflecting on the water.
"Wanna go for a walk?"
"Sure," she said, rising from her chair.
He jumped up, nearly knocking the over on Annabeth. "Sorry," he said, turning red, though it was hard to tell when it was dark.
"Annabeth," Percy said, suddenly stopping as they walked by the water.
"Yeah?" She stopped next to him, and looked at him.
"I love you."
"I love you too."
"W-Will you m-marry me?" He said, his hands shaking as he reached into his pocket and pulled a small box.
She covered her mouth with her hands, unable to speak. She nodded. He smiled and pulled her left hand away from her mouth and slid the ring on her finger. He put the box in his pocket and put his arms around Annabeth. And, not caring if anyone was watching, her kissed her. It lasted only a few seconds but to them it felt as though it lasted an hour.
