A/N: I don't own anything except the idea of the story… nothing else. End of story. First PJATO story!
"Oh come on, Seaweed Brain! Please!" Annabeth Chase said, pleading with her boyfriend, Percy.
Percy shook his head no and crossed his arms stubbornly.
"The doctor says if you don't take your medicine, you're just going to get worse!"
Percy turned his head away from her, "I don't care! I'm not taking that awful pink stuff!"
"Percy," Annabeth said trying to reason with him, "It's bubble gum flavored. It can't be that bad!"
"Oh yeah?" Percy asked her, raising his eyebrows skeptically "Then you take it!"
"I'm not the sick one, you are!"
"You're the one that dragged me out to dance in the rain!" Percy thought a second then added, "How come you're not sick too?"
"Well, excuse me for wanting to try it! And because Zeus likes me better."
Percy rolled his eyes, "True… and you're not excused."
"Ha. Ha." Annabeth said, sticking her tongue out at him.
Percy leaned forward as if to kiss her but Annabeth leaned away quickly, "Oh, no! You are not kissing me while you are sick!"
Percy looked at her and started to pout.
"That's not going to work, this time."
"And why not?" Percy demanded, still pouting.
"Because I don't want your sick germs!"
"But I really want to kiss you," Percy said looking at her with wide eyes.
Annabeths heart melted, he knew exactly what to say to her. But she still wasn't going to give in. If he was going to be stubborn, so was she.
Annabeth thought for a minute before saying, "I'm not kissing you until you take this medicine." She held up a bottle and a spoon, "Now, we can
do this the easy way, or we can do this the hard way, your choice."
Percy gulped.
Annabeth narrowed her stormy grey eyes at him, waiting for an answer.
Percy mumbled something inaudible.
"Excuse me?"
"I said 'The easy way.' If I chose the hard way, you would kick my butt and shove it down my throat."
Annabeth smirked, "Wise choice, Seaweed Brain."
"Maybe you're finally starting to rub off on me, Wise Girl."
"Nah. I don't think that's possible," she said teasingly. "Now," she said, pouring the liquid into the spoon and holding it out to him, "Here you go."
Percy grimaced at the spoon, but took it from her.
Annabeth smiled at him encouragingly.
Percy quickly poured the contents of the spoon into his mouth and swallowed. He made a horrible face and gagged.
"There, was that so bad?," Annabeth asked him.
"Yuck! Yeah! It was!" He answered frowning.
"Well, does this make it any better?" Annabeth leaned forward and softly placed her lips on his.
"Yeah," he said smiling, leaning his forehead against hers, "It really does."
She smiled, licked her lips, then frowned suddenly.
"What's wrong?" Percy asked worried.
Wrinkling her nose she answered, "You were right, that pink stuff really is awful."
A/N: Review, please?
