SCHOOL IS FINALLY OUT. NOW I CAN WRITE FANFICTION! Due to a certain House of Hades cover that basically ripped out my soul and threw it into Tartarus with Percy and Annabeth, I am now full of Percabeth feels. They hurt a lot. So I decided to write a proposal/marriage fic for them...Yeah. It's from Percy's POV, since really, who doesn't love him? I'll try and do him justice :D This is probably going to be a few chapters, so bear with me here.
ADHD Thoughts Are Always Good, Aren't They?
The idea just kind of popped into my head, to be honest. I wasn't even thinking about it properly. Annabeth and I were sitting in her cabin at Camp HalfBlood, just talking. Well, actually we were having an argument, but that's nothing new.
"Percy, the older Disney films are way better than the newer ones." she said impatiently.
"The 1990's are called the Disney Renassiance because the films were more successful and had better storylines."
Yep. That's our relationship. 19 years old and fighting over animated films. Go Percy and Annabeth. I don't even know how we got on this topic, but I would defend my opinion valiantly.
"But the graphics have gotten so much better. You saw Up with me and loved it, remember?"
"That is entirely different conversation, considering Up was a Pixar film. Seaweed Brain, you just don't like the older Disney movies because of The Little Mermaid."
"That film is totally inaccurate! Have you seen mer-people? They're scary!"
We continued like this for awhile, going back and forth, trying to prove our points. As Annabeth pulled out her laptop from Daldeus, doing a full search of all Disney classics and getting professional opinions, I had to smile. She would do literally anything to win an argument with me. And then came the ADHD thought.
"I should marry her someday. Someday soon."
Commence the Percy Jackson total freak out. I basically ran out of the Athena cabin, making an excuse about how Chiron needed me to show a few younger campers some basic techniques. But instead of doing that, I sprinted to the woods to either find Grover or a monster to fight. Which ever opportunity presented itself first. Thankfully, I found Grover first, because if I had fought at monster at that present moment, I would have ended up dead. Grover was sitting by a tree, playing his reed pipes and making daisys spring up all adound him. I stumbled past and then collasped beside him, chest heaving from my run.
"Hi man." Grover said, sounding totally unconcerned. "What's up?"
I rested my head on my knees, trying to breathe evenly and not have a panic attack. I figured I'd better explain to Grover, so I said,
"I just had an insane idea."
"What is it this time?"
"I thought I should propose to Annabeth. Crazy, right?" I said with a laugh, leaning my head against the trunk of the tree we were sitting by. Grover looked at me, shaking his head and laughing to himself.
"You think it's a bad idea?" he asked.
"Umm- yeah. It's nuts. Don't you agree?"
"I think it would be about time." he said truthfully.
"Grover, are you feeling alright?" I asked, genuinely concerned for his sanity.
"I think you might have sat out in the sun too long."
"No, I honestly think its about time. Percy, think about it. You've been dating for three years, nearly four. You had feelings for Annabeth way before you actually got together, right? You and Annabeth have been through way more off together than most couples. And you love her, correct?"
"What- yes of course. She's my everything."
"Man, I'm surprised you waited this long to pop the question."
I shut my eyes and buried my head in my hands.
"Grover, you know once I have an idea it's all I can think about."
"That'sanother a bad thing in this case."
"What do I do first, then?"
"Percy, go talk to your mom. She's been waiting for this moment."
"How do you know that?"
"We may or may not have spoken about your love life once or twice."
"You, Grover, are just a big hopeless romantic."
"Just go."
I'M SO SORRY THIS IS SO AWFUL. It's 12:16 in the morning, and I can't sleep..so this is what you guys got. Again, I aplogise.
