Song-fic. Percabeth. Update She's Staring At Me With Those Electric Eyes soon!
In The Last Olympian, when Annabeth is wounded.
The way you move is like a full on rain storm
And I'm a house of cards
Percy tends to act like a storm, menacing and dangerous, when he's in battle. I lie here, weak from the wound, staring at the war raging on, hoping against hope that Percy will make it.
You're the kind of reckless that should send me running
But I kinda know that I won't get far
Percy's reckless due to his fatal flaw: loyalty. He could ruin the quest by trying to save someone. I really shouldn't be friends with him. But, I know I'd come back to him anyway.
And you stood there in front of me
Close enough of touch
Close enough to hope you couldn't see what I was thinking of
Earlier, when Percy had come in to see me, when his hand was on my forehead, I felt so safe. This was Percy, he would protect me. But, I really hoped he couldn't see what I was thinking of.
Drop everything now
Meet me in the pouring rain
Kiss me on the sidewalk
Take away the pain
Cause I see sparks fly
Whenever you smile
Rain starts to hammer down, heavy drop plink-ing on the roof. I daydream about the war ending, Percy dropping his weapons and rushing back here. I'd be standing on the sidewalk, in the downpour, waiting for him. Then, he'd kiss me, ending the all the pain and suffering.
Get me with those green eyes, baby
As the lights go down
Give me something that'll haunt me
When you're not around
I watch the lights of New York start to dim and think of Percy's sea green eyes. I think of the memories at Camp, all including Percy. I smile. Percy had given happy times to haunt me, something to think of when he's not around.
Cause I see sparks fly
Whenever you smile
My mind forgets to remind me
You're a bad idea
Percy's a bad idea, of course. His father was my mother's rival! But whenever he smiled at me, told a dumb joke, looked at me with those beautiful eyes, I forget. I forget everything.
You touch me and it's really something
You find I'm even better than you imagined I would be
When Percy touched me, there was a kind of electricty. A shiver tingled up my spine. "You're better than I thought you were," he had murmured. I managed a weak smile, "I always am, Seaweed Brain."
I'm on my guard for the rest of the world
But with you
I know it's no good
I had put a defence against everyone, swore nobody would hurt me ever again, the way her parents did, the way Luke did. But with Percy, those walls crumbled.
I could wait patiently but
I really wish you would
I had patience. All Athena kids did. But Percy was really wearing it down and I'm left wish for that little something...
Drop everything now
Meet me in the pouring rain
Kiss me on the sidewalk
Take away the pain
Drop everything now
Meet me in the pouring rain
Kiss me on the sidewalk
Take away the pain
The daydream returns, more urgent than ever. My heart aches. My arm stings.
Cause I see sparks fly
Whenever you smile
Get me with those green eyes, baby
As the lights go down
Give me something that'll haunt me
When you're not around
Cause I see sparks fly
Whenever you smile
Green eyes flash. The lights grow dimmer. I'm haunted with the image of Percy's kiss.
I run my fingers through your hair
And watch the lights go wild
Just keep on keeping your eyes on me
It's just wrong enough to make it feel right
In the daydream, I run my fingers through Percy's messy black hair. The fireworks explode. His green eyes are fixed on me and it feels wrong and right at the same time.
And lead me up the staircase
Won't you whisper soft and slow
I'm captivated by you, baby
Like a fireworks show
I imagine he's leading up the staircase to the Big House, up to the roof, to watch the Fourth of July fireworks, whispering sweet nothings. Instead of watching the colors dance across the sky, I'm captivated by him and him only.
Drop everything now
Meet me in the pouring rain
Kiss me on the sidewalk
Take away the pain
Cause I see sparks fly
Whenever you smile
I slip into a deep sleep and the daydream follows, weaving into my dreams. The pain in my arms subside.
Get me with those green eyes, baby
As the lights go down
Give me something that'll haunt me
When you're not around
Green eyes. Lights going down. Percy. Haunting happy memories.
Cause I see sparks fly
Whenever you smile
And the sparks fly
Oh, baby, smile
And the sparks fly
Woah...Oh
I wake up and smile. I make up my mind to tell Percy exactly how I feel.
That's how she decides to kiss Percy.
Yeah, it's not that good, but take it or leave it.
Cheerio!
