A/N: So this is just a quick one-shot of Percy and Annabeth.
Annabeth was hungry. Like, really hungry. She had been working as a counselor at Camp Half-Blood since six in the morning, and it was tiring trying to keep kids from getting crushed or trampled or maimed or burned or hurt at camp. I mean seriously, do you know how hard it is to keep a pack of heavily armed teenagers from shredding themselves to ribbons?
So naturally she had walked to the lunch pavilion, where about fifteen campers were milling about. She sat down at the Athena table, and noticed Percy was fiddling around with some fruits that were in a glass bowl on one of the tables.
"Hey," she said. "Percy, can you toss me a fruit?"
"Sure." He responded, "which one?"
"Any kind," Annabeth said, too hungry to properly care.
So Percy picked up a bright red apple, shined it on his shirt, and chucked it at Annabeth. She caught the apple but gaped at Percy.
"Um," she said, flustered, "Percy, in Ancient Greece it was considered a marriage proposal if you tossed an apple at a girl."
"Oh, I know," Percy said with a smile. "Read the other side."
Annabeth turned the apple around, and carved into it was a message:
Wise Girl, will you marry me?
XOXO, Seaweed Brain
Annabeth gasped. "Perseus Jackson, did you just propose to me?"
"Yes. Yes I did, Wise Girl." Percy said.
"Well, Seaweed Brain, I say yes."
"Seriously?" Percy said, obviously relieved. "Oh, thank the gods. I was so nervous."
"Well, Percy, you don't have to worry anymore. I love you." Annabeth said, walking up to Percy.
"Love you too, Wise Girl."
"Love you more, Seaweed Brain."
Hope you liked it, even though it was short!
