Wow stupid me, forgetting the disclaimer AGAIN. Well here ya go:

Annabeth POV
Percy held the door open for me as we entered the rock café.
Chiron had finally let us go out in the real world for a dat- I mean to hang out together, alone.
Yes, I admit, I really wish it was a date, but Percy just doesn't see me that way. At least I don't think he does, because I've been the only one dropping hints.
I went to find a table and Percy got us both coffee. He knows my regular order, of course – a latte with extra sugar and whipped cream - because after all, he is my best friend.
At the back of the café there was a stage where anyone could go on to sing. Usually the café hired bands to play, but right now the stage was empty.
"A little help here, Annabeth?"
I glanced back to see Percy barely balancing his coffee and my latte on their separate plates. My latte was on the verge of falling off.
I took my latte out of his hand and set it on the table, smirking at him.
"Nice, Percy. You can balance on a wobbly, horizontal, string ladder with a sword and fight a monster, but you can't balance two 24 oz. beverages."
"Shut up, Annie."
"No thanks, Seaweed Brain."
We both sat down and sipped our coffee, but I couldn't help noticing how jumpy Percy was. He looked like he really needed to do something.
"Something wrong, Seaweed Brain?"
He looked like he didn't want to answer, but got up anyway and said "I gotta do something."
Before I could reply, he was walking towards the stage. He climbed the steps and adjusted the mic.
"Can I get some lights and music please?"
The spotlight turned on and Percy whispered something to the helping band that was coming on stage, probably a song.
"Ahem. I-I want to sing a song for a really special girl. I haven't really said anything to her yet, and well I'm guessing this is the best way to tell her I like her."
Oh god. He's talking about me. ME.
I tensed and listened attentively as he started strumming the guitar.
(A/N this song is Lucky by Sam and Quinn on Glee. It's originally two parts, but he's only singing the whole song on his own. I'm going to have to change some of the lyrics so that it sounds like only a boy is singing.)
Do you hear me?
I'm talking to you.
Across the water
Across the deep, blue ocean
Under the open sky
Oh my, Baby I'm trying
Girl I hear you in my dreams
I feel your whisper
Across the sea
I keep you with me
In my heart
You make it easier
When life gets hard
(Chorus)
Lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I've been
Lucky to be coming home again
Ooh oh ooh oh ooh oh ooh
oh oh ooh oh ooh
They don't know how long it takes
Waiting for love like this
Every time we say goodbye
I wish we had one more hug
I'll wait for you
I promise you, I will
Lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I've been
Lucky to be coming home again
Lucky I'm in love in every way
Lucky to have stayed where I've stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday
So I'm sailing
Through the sea
To an island
Where we'll meet
You'll hear the music
Fill the air
I'll put a flower
In your hair
Though the breezes
Through the trees
Move so pretty
You're all I see
As the world keeps
Spinning round
I'll hold you,
Right here, right now
Lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I've been
Lucky to be coming home again
Lucky I'm in love in every way
Lucky to have stayed where I've stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday
Ooh oh ooh oh ooh oh ooh
oh oh ooh oh ooh oh ooh
Ooh oh ooh oh ooh oh ooh
oh oh ooh oh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh
He strummed the last chord.
My smile had gotton bigger and bigger throughout the whole song, until at the end, tiny tears dotted the sides of my eyes.
I ran up to him on stage and looked at his desperate face.
"I like you, Annabeth. I guess I've just been to shy to say anything before now."
He waited for answer, but even before I spoke, my smile gave it away.
"Me too. I thought you didn't like me because you never said anything."
"Well, we were both very wrong," he said softly.
"You got that right," I replied in the same tone of voice.
We stared at each other for a couple of seconds, then both started leaning in right there, in front of everyone.
But, not just for a kiss, for a whole new beginning.
Good? Bad? wanna kill me? wanna kiss me? - that would be weird...
