AN: So this story isn't entirely mine. It's a RP thread I have on Tumblr with someone (percy-jacksoff). Yes, if you're familiar with it, I'm a Tumblr indie Roleplayer. It's really hard to look for this because I have to open every single post (mind you there's about 80 of them). I just thought it'd be nice of me to share this really fun thread I had. Haha!
P.S.
It's part by part because it ended up having more than 9K words all in all and I doubt you'd love that. Here's a small piece for a beginning... :)
First Date
...
part 1
Annabeth was among her siblings already, and everyone was out in the fields. It was just another day at camp and she figured that she would go train with her sister, or her brother, whoever. In the back of her mind, something was bothering her though, something she's forgetting.
Of course, she thought. She looked around to look for him, but he wasn't there. She huffed and excused herself from the sword fight and ran towards the cabins, particularly the third one. Annabeth knocked on the door thrice and called out, "Come on, Seaweed Brain! Riptide's got to be used from time to time, you know!"
Percy jumped at the sound of the sudden knock at the door, only to smile to himself when he heard the voice that followed.
"In a sec!" He pulled on a shirt and opened the door, smiling dorkishly at the girl waiting on the other side, "Hey Wise Girl."
"What are you doing inside your cabin at this time of the day?" She asked, ignoring his greeting. "You have to train, Seaweed Brain!"
"Thanks for the reminder. Almost forgot about that." Percy stepped outside his cabin and closed the door behind him. He didn't really forget about training, it was one of his favorite times of the day. He just needed an excuse to spend time with her.
Percy started walking toward the training grounds, turning back to Annabeth, "Coming?"
Annabeth followed Percy towards the fields, "Admit it, Seaweed Brain," she said. "You're just scared to get your ass kicked by me."
"I'm sure anyone here would be scared to get their ass kicked by you." Percy said with complete honesty, "Except maybe Clarisse."
Annabeth smirked. "One of these days, she'll lose to me." She said with determination. When the two of them reached the field, Annabeth didn't even wait for Percy to be ready. She immediately grabbed the hilt of her sword by her waist and turned around to attack him. He was obviously caught in surprise, seeing as he didn't even have Riptide out yet. "Too slow," she said while pointing the sword at his chest. "You could die."
Percy's heart skipped a beat. He was not expecting for Annabeth to move so quickly. Keeping his eyes locked to hers; giving her the stupid troublemaker smile he knew she 'secretly' loved. While her guard was down, he uncapped Riptide and performed the disarming maneuver that Luke showed him so many years ago.
"Shouldn't let your guard down, Wise Girl. You could die."
Annabeth was impressed. In her whole life, no one else had disarmed her but Luke and Percy. She had to break that habit now. "Not bad," she complimented and stood straight in front of Percy. "You're getting better, Percy." She said while letting her gray eyes pierce his sea green ones. She smiled, "I think you deserve motivation to keep up the good work." Annabeth leaned forward and wrapped her arms around Percy for a quick kiss. When she pulled away, she slowly let her arm down to her side where her knife was. "But you still need to remember rule number one." She whispered.
Percy smiled to himself. He knew exactly what Annabeth was doing. He had known her for so long that it was impossible for him not to know. That was when he grabbed her hand she as moved it toward her knife.
Review!
I understand how cruel this is - leaving you hanging with a chapter only this short. But trust me, the thread ended up having more than 9K words and I doubt you'd enjoy reading something that long. I decided to chop it in small pieces. Don't worry I've got the whole piece so it won't take long to update. Maybe I'll post a part 2 today to help you.
