Disclaimer: I do not own Percy Jackson and Annabeth Chase, just my feels.

"I'm so excited!" Percy stood beside Annabeth, restlessly hopping on the balls of his feet. "You have no idea how long this morning was. I just wanted to come here with you." He stole a quick glance at his girlfriend before blushing and looking down to his feet. Annabeth hid a smile while trying to calm him down.

"It's just the aquarium, Percy. Don't worry, the wait is almost over." Percy had insisted on taking Annabeth to the aquarium, even after they had gotten snowed in before their first attempt.

"I know, I know. But it's full of fish and I haven't talked to any in so long and- look! The line is moving! Come on, Annabeth," He exclaimed, pulling Annabeth's hand as they walked through the door of the building.

"Geez, Seaweed Brain. Slow down." She laughed as Percy raced to the admissions desk to purchase their tickets.

As soon as the couple got past the desk and the horde of people, Annabeth could see any tension in Percy's entire body leave him as he sighed and flashed a smile to his girlfriend. "Come on, Wise Girl. Last time I was here, I made some friends."

Annabeth couldn't wipe the smile off of her face as she was dragged through displays to reach the water tanks. Normally, she would be upset that she missing the chance to learn more, but seeing Percy as excited as he was, Annabeth didn't really mind skipping the informational part of the aquarium.

"I would like you to meet Fred," Percy said to Annabeth as he gestured to a tank containing a dolphin who seemed to be looking right at Annabeth. "He says it's a pleasure to meet you." Annabeth let out a small laugh. "He also says you're really pretty. I would have to agree with you on that, Fred." At this, she blushed.

"Shut up, Seaweed Brain." She smacked her boyfriend lightly while he grinned at her.

As they continued to walk down the row of tanks, Percy kept translating what the animals were saying for Annabeth. Apparently, all of the fish thought that Annabeth was pretty and that Percy was the best boyfriend ever, at least, according to the dork himself. They eventually stopped at a small tank that held a single sea turtle. "And who would this be?" The gray-eyed girl asked her boyfriend.

"This is Kevin. We talk a lot. What's up?" he asked the fish. After a few seconds during which Annabeth assumed Kevin said something to Percy, the boy turned a light shade of red. "Alright, moving on," They walked away with Percy mumbling something that sounded suspiciously like, "That was uncalled for," and "How rude can a turtle be?"

Annabeth just shook her head at her boyfriend's nonsense, enjoying the feeling of just holding his hand.

After three hours of doing nothing but roaming the aquarium and talking to fish, Percy turned to Annabeth. "Wise Girl, you have now officially met everyone here. Why don't we go out for ice cream?"

The girl in question shook her head slightly before pulling Percy back the way they had come. "Now that you've had all your fun, what with talking to every single fish here, we are going to go back and learn about all of them!" At her exclamation, Percy groaned.

"But, Annabeth, ice cream is so much better than words."

"Sorry, I did what you wanted to do without complaining, so shut your yap and let's go. Maybe we can go get ice cream after I'm done." At this, Percy perked up, even if only a tiny bit.

It really wasn't as bad as Percy had thought it would be, because he got to watch exactly what Annabeth had witnessed earlier.

He saw the girl he loved light up when she read something that she found interesting, and knit her eyebrows together when she read something she hadn't known before, and that was better than any amount of ice cream in the world.

And that is the end of that. This is my fourth Percabeth fic, but it took a lot longer than the others to write (even though I wrote the other three in about an hour each). I don't know, I guess I really wanted to get this one right. I always imagine Percy like a kid in a candy store when I imagine him at an aquarium. I don't know, the thought just makes me really happy.

So, if you liked this you can go read my other fics. They're all Percabeth one shots. And at the beginning of this one when I mentioned them getting snowed in, yeah, that's one of my fics. So yeah, now that the whole shameless self-promoting is over, please leave me a review and let me know what you thought!

I'm thinking of starting a story, but I'm not sure yet. Leave me some ideas in the reviews and I might try them out!
