Just A Little Bit Of Rain

Percy loved the rain, as long as they're not violent storms that tear houses down. Or Typhon. Or one of Zeus's rages.

Annabeth however, hated it. Everytime it rained, Annabeth couldn't help but feel alone and sad. It reminded her of those days when Percy had gone missing, when she ran away from home, when Thalia was still a tree, when Luke left Camp, when she went on her solo-death-quest for the Athena Parthenos...

She just couldn't but feel that way. Feel so sad and hopeful, wishing for the simpler days. Back when her life cycle went like this: wake up, train, read, train, try not to drool at Luke, train, finish building plans, try not to stab Percy, train, draw, read, sleep. Simple,right?

But she did prefer Percy being by her side, and being family with the crew of the Argo II, and being okay with her dad and his family. Also, life here in New Rome wasn't so bad after all. She and Percy lived in a cozy house of Annabeth's design, resembling the Athena and Poseidon cabins merged together and having 3 floors, located near the food district (Percy's choice) and right next to the other houses of the seven.

Annabeth sat in the comfy blue chair in the very corner of the living room. To her left was a small desk with a reading lamp, and to her right was a fairly big window. She looked out that window, watching the small droplets of rain fall onto the glass, watering the plants on their garden outside. Slowly she picked up her cup of hot tea laying on the window sill, blowing on it before taking a sip. She felt the heat of the tea spread through her mouth, throat, and eventually, chest. She felt comforted by the heat, but not that much. Her grey sweater did nothing for the coldness she felt. She already wore her hair down in an attempt to keep warm, but no avail. Annabeth sighed, taking another sip of her tea.

"Hey, Wise Girl." A familiar voice greeted from behind her, making her smile. She heard the front door close and a few footsteps muffled by the blue carpeting before being engulfed in a warm hug.

Yeah, just what she needed.

Annabeth turned her head, just in time to catch Percy's lips with her's. She felt the cushon sink as Percy pulled away, taking up all of the extra space in the couch. She felt Percy's strong arms wrap around her in a gentle hug.

"So how was training?" Annabeth ask, a smile on her face.

"Exhausting." Percy muttered, burying his nose in her golden locks. "Little kids are extremely hard to teach."

Annabeth let out a little laugh. "Just like you."

"Yeah, whatever." She heard Percy mutter, but she could tell he was smiling.

A few minutes of comfortable silence passed, with nothing to be heard but the sound of the rain, hammering against the house, and the wind rattling the trees outside.

"What's wrong, Annabeth?" Percy suddenly asked, shifting from his position, standing up straight.

"Huh?" Annabeth asked,snapping out of her daze of sadness. "Oh, um nothing. I'm...I'm fine."

She could feel Percy's questioning gaze at her, but she tried not to look. But he knew her too well. He could always sense when something was wrong with her. After a few seconds of silence, she finally gave in.

"Well," Annabeth started to say. "It might be kind of pathetic, but every time it rained... well, I always kind of felt alone. Like all of the sad memories just come rushing back and also all the good memories that are just out of reach. Every time it rains... well, I just feel kind kind of sad and sentimental. You, however, love the rain." She grumbled.

"It is a fact." Percy grinned. "But c'mon Wise Girl. If it rains, it's okay to feel even just the slightest bit sad, but don't let it take over." He wrapped his arm around her once again. "I'm here for you. Always." Percy shifted his body so he was looking straight at her. His sea-green eyes meeting her grey ones, matching the clouds in the rainy sky.

Annabeth smiled. "I love you." The words had just pulled out of her mouth without her meaning too. He could always make her day better. Gods, she loved this boy. "You're right. For the Seaweed Brain you are, you're pretty dam smart."

"And handsome."

"Don't overestimate yourself. But yeah, you're right."

"When am I not?"

Annabeth was about to retort back to his smirking face, but he cut her off. "Anyway, it's just a little bit of rain." And with that, he pulled her close and kissed her, making Annabeth feel like her brain was spinning like every time they did, and making her feel like the rain was going away.

Yaaay the rain inspired me to write this! Correction: it was a thunderstorm. I dont know why the thunderstorm inspired me for a soft and gentle story.

Okay, ciao! ~Apollo'sHappyDaugter
