A/N: This is a songfic, showing Annabeth's inner feelings about her relationship with Percy. R&R!
SPARKS FLY
The way you move is like a full on rainstorm
And I'm a house of cards
You're the kind of reckless that should send me running
But I kinda know that I won't get far
When I saw him, I knew he was the kind that would attract trouble. Even for a demigod, he was dangerous. He had that Aura around him, which at first I put down to him being child of the Big Three. Only later did I realize that it was just him. Slowly, I couldn't help but get closer to him, and, despite my better judgment, we soon became close friends
And you stood there in front of me
Close enough to touch
Close enough to hope you couldn't see
What I was thinking of
When he saved me on Mt. Tam, and took the weight of the world from me, despite the moment, I was smiling. Back then, I still thought I loved Luke, but I was having my doubts, I almost thought about becoming a Hunter of Artemis, but something stopped me. I kept remembering our dance just before Thorn brought me here. Deep down, I knew he would come for me; just like he always did.
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
He knew exactly how to charm me, and every time, I felt myself struggle a little bit more to stand m ground, and not just give in to whatever he wanted.
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
Those green eyes of his get me hyperventilating, and I can't think clearly. And, though I'd never admit it, all the times I've had a moment of self doubt, looking into his eyes, I find comfort, and the strength to keep going. He told me I'm his lifeline to reality, but, in truth, he's mine.
My mind forgets to remind me
You're a bad idea
You touch me once and it's really something
You find I'm even better than you
Imagined I would be
On Mt. St. Helens, when I thought I'd never see him again, I'd kissed him. When he didn't come back, that last memory of him haunted me, and for some reason, at the same time, it made me believe he was alive. I kept going back on our conversations, thinking about all the things I wanted to say, but never did. Only then did I realize the magnitude of my feelings for him. I had fallen for Perseues Jackson, even though, all along, I knew it was irrational. He was the exact opposite of me. Careless, reckless, impulsive, a danger magnet, and to top it all off, he was a son of Poseidon. Knowing all this didn't change anything, though, and I knew it never would.
I'm on my guard for the rest of the world
But with you I know it's no good
I couldn't lie to him after a point. I couldn't hide how I felt. I'd always prided myself on being hard to read, but Percy could just see right through me, through the walls I had set up for myself. After a little while, he just broke through those walls completely, and I didn't stop him. That's how well he knew me, and that's how much I trusted him.
And I could wait patiently but I really wish you would
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
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
I run my fingers through your hair
And watch the lights go wild
Just keep on keeping your eyes on me
It's just strong enough to make it feel right
And lead me up the staircase
Won't you whisper soft and slow
I'm captivated by you baby
Like a fireworks show
I never find myself getting bored with him. Our banters never grow old. Every time I think I've got him figured out, he surprises me with something new, and I fall in deeper than ever. He captivates me, making it so hard for me to get up and leave, even when I know it's smarter.
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
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
Percy is someone who can take all m pain away, make me smile in our arguments, and make me question everything I thought of myself. He's perfect, and it took me a while to see that. I now know, that if there is anything I can't live without, it'll be him and his loyal companionship. Yes, I'm in love with m best friend, and I couldn't be any luckier.
