Disclaimer: I own nothing here...

A/N: Ok, so Into the Darkness is currently on hiatus due to the fact that I can't access it right now. So, to make up for it, I'm putting my next great idea in motion. You guys like oneshots, so this is a series of oneshots showing Luke's thoughts on Percy and Annabeth's relationship. I'm not sure how long it'll be… maybe only 5 chapters (one for each book Luke is alive in).

Also, to those of you who mentioned Percy's build in Miscalculation—

When I described Percy, I used a combination of both Rick's work and my own experience. Most people's only comment was on Percy's… I guess muscles. So, I would like you guys to imagine holding a sword. It's three feet in length, and fits perfectly into your hand. Now, you all of a sudden realize that the thing is made of metal. Swinging that thing around day after day is going to build some serious muscle. Now factor in wearing a bunch of heavy armor, along with the simple cardio you get from running around in all that, and you end up with a dude that is at least slightly ripped. I'm not trying to idolize our favorite son of Poseidon by giving him an awesome body. I'm just being realistic about his appearance and life.

Anyways. Sorry about the rambling.

Hope you guys enjoy.

R&R!

As Luke looked out the window of Cabin 11, he reminisced about the new kid who had arrived at camp not days before. Poor guy. Lost his mother to one of the most evil monsters in Greek mythology. He then was shoved face first into the world of Ancient Greece, one full of tragedy and things that shouldn't exist.

Luke liked him though. There was something about this Percy kid that made you naturally want to be around him. While at first he didn't look like much, what with his scrawny appearance and apparent idiocy, his bravery was obvious from the moment he arrived, ever since he killed the damned Minotaur.

Percy made Luke slightly jealous for that. Hadn't even been to camp yet and he was a hero in most people's eyes. Even if people liked Luke, it had been after him working to gain their trust, not just waltzing in and everyone instantly thinking he could save the world from war.

But despite that jealousy, Luke still liked him. The two had a lot in common. Mostly a strong dislike for the immortal side of their family…

But Luke wasn't the only one who was taking a liking to Percy despite a barrier.

As soon as Annabeth had seen the guy, he'd seen something in her eyes change. No one else had noticed it, except for maybe Chiron. He doubted even Annabeth noticed.

But it had been there. A flash of hope, as well as something else. Something that wasn't surprising, seeing as that tragic girl was now twelve, and she had been faced with a guy her age that honestly wasn't that bad in the looking department.

That knowledge made him like the guy even more. As much as Luke loved Annabeth, he wanted her to stop making him out to be some sort of god. While that was ok for a seven year old girl to do, especially considering the circumstances, Annabeth was reaching the age when it would begin to look like an obsession.

And an obsession with Luke Castellan was not something that poor girl wanted.

So yes. Luke liked the boy. He liked his skill set. He hated that just because of his big bad daddy he was getting this incredibly important quest that could save all of humanity, but that wasn't really something Luke could be mad about, seeing as he was the one who really caused the quest in the first place.

Luke was beginning to like the boy enough that he was actually slightly regretting the fact that he was going to die. He hoped that his master would follow through so that Annabeth and Grover would be spared, but there was no guarantee that Percy would be. But, there are always casualties in war…

Even casualties that the traitor regrets.

Short, I know.

But that's ok.

I think.

There wasn't much to say for this one honestly.

I could have gone into the sword fighting, but that would have been overdoing it.

The next ones will be quite a bit longer, and will focus more on Luke's perception of Annabeth's attitude towards Percy. This one was just harder to write, as there was only really animosity between those two at the beginning of the book.
