When it comes to relationships, Percy Jackson doesn't exactly have the best of luck.
There had been that whole thing with Calypso and the, "stay-with-me-forever or leave-and-never-see-me-again", deal. Then the Rachel Elizabeth Dare drama where they sort of used each other to fulfill their destinies with some more confusion added in.
And then there is Annabeth Chase. Architect of Olympus. Wise Girl. Percy's Girlfriend.
Of course, she isn't exactly the perfect girl for Percy.
She has a habit of sprouting random facts that confuses him. She teases him a lot. She hides her emotions. She's stubborn. She gets irritated really easily. She used to hate him. (Key words being "used to" as in "not anymore")
But all that aside she is just what he needs.
She is a great mentor and teacher for him. She lifts his spirits and keeps him alive. She keeps him down to Earth. She makes sure he doesn't get a big head from all his accomplishments. She's the one who went on so many adventures with him. She's the one who nursed him back to health when he first arrived at Camp. She's the one who's been there for him thick and thin.
So floating in the lake, thinking about his girlfriend, it hit him.
He loves her.
He couldn't understand why he didn't realize before but it didn't matter. Because it was true.
So later that night, when everyone was asleep except him, he went out to Cabin 6 to get Annabeth.
"Psst! Annabeth! Get up for a sec! Psst!" Percy whispered.
"Annabeth you better wake up or your boyfriend is gonna wake up Malcolm and you know how he is in the middle of the night." Said Annabeth's younger sister.
"Fine fine I'll get up. You better has a good explanation as to why you woke me up Seaweed Brain."
"I do now come on I gotta tell you something!"
Sighing, Annabeth walked out of the cabin and followed him to a hill where they laid down and looked at the stars. "So what did you want to tell me?" she asked after naming every constellation they could see.
"Well I was thinking about us earlier and I realized something." Said Percy.
"What did you realize?"
Be a man Percy. Just tell her. "I'm in love with you Wise Gi-"
And before he realizes it she's on his lips. Breaking the kiss, Annabeth whispered, "I love you, too". And before you know it they're kissing again.
So in the morning when Chiron finds them lying together on the hillside, and assigns them kitchen duty for the next month, they don't even mind. Because they were in love. And they knew they would stay together. Forever.
So what do you guys think? This is my first fanfic and it would really mean a lot if you guys reviewed! Flames are appreciated.
