So these stories are going to be a bunch of random Percabeth, Jasper, and other PJO pairings: Complete romance! I'll probably tell you what kind of world they're in, etc, up here, so make sure you read them!

This story is sort of AU, it's after Gaea is defeated but as if Leo left to get Calypso and everyone is aware of that.

#1: Away and Back Again

"Annabeth?" Percy found her walking back from archery.
"Yeah?" She was mad, some of the younger campers had cheated in the game they'd played.

"Did you tell Piper about the other night?"
"Yeah, so?"
"Now everyone knows."
"I know."
"So—"
"Are you mad?"
"A little bit."
"Why? Seriously, she's my best friend."
"And I'm your boyfriend. You don't tell me everything you do with her."
"What, am I supposed ask you before I tell people stuff?" She stopped, facing him on the path.

"You're putting words in my mouth."
"No, I'm guessing what you were going to say."
"That has absolutely nothing to do with what I was going to say."
"Oh, sure."
"I just thought somethings should be private—"
"I know!"
"But you don't care! I said something and all the campers started giggling like little kids—"
"Half of them are little kids—"
"You know that's not the point!" They were yelling now, enough to attract attention, but campers were smart enough to stay away.

"Yeah, so what is the point, Percy?"
"They point is some things should be between us!"
"Most things are—"
"But you're telling Piper—"
"Am I not allowed to tell my best friend anything about our relationship—"
"That's not what I said—"
"It's what you're implying!"
Piper ran up. "Uh, guys? Leo's back, he's got Calypso."
Annabeth breathed out heavily through her nose. "Okay."
She turned on her heel and walked toward the Big House. Percy threw up his hands, then saw Annabeth looking.
"Oh, sorry. Did you tell Piper already?"
She rolled her eyes. "Don't yell at Calypso."
"Yes, mother."
"I'm serious! She's with Leo now—"
"I know that—" He sounded exasperated.

"What was that in your voice? Are you…are you jealous?"
"You're pulling at strings that don't exist, Annabeth."

She cocked an eyebrow. "You didn't answer the question."
"We don't always have to answer them."
"'We' do if they're questions like that."
"Stupid questions?"
"Stupid? The way you're acting—"

"Is entirely in your mind!"

She opened her mouth to snap something but decided better of it. Ignoring Percy, she jogged ahead and disappeared into the Big House, Percy on her heels.
The head counselors had gathered around the table. Leo and Calypso had yet to show, so Percy threw himself in a chair and tried to ignore Annabeth's withering gaze.

"Percy."
He knew that voice—it had a hint of amusement in it. Calypso came into view, smiling widely at him. He tried to smile back.

Leo came in and started with introductions. "And this is Travis, that's Connor, Lou Ellen, and this is Annabeth-"
"So you're Annabeth," She interrupted. Percy could see the side of her face, a glint in her eye, a smile that might have been a bit mocking on her lips. An image of Annabeth calling for him, blind, rose in his mind.

"Don't talk to her like that," He said. Annabeth glared at him as Calypso turned.

"Like what?"
"Oh, please. I know how you feel—felt—about her."

She looked confused. "What?"
Leo stood, ready to protest.

"Please," Percy said. "Let me get it out."
Leo nodded, reluctantly, and sat back down.

"Can I explain something to you?" Percy said, standing up. He towered over Calypso. "I might be imagining the way you're looking at her, because of one thing."
"And what's that?"

"Tartarus. The arai. The curses. We're fighting, Annabeth without a weapon. She's got one that made her blind. I had a bunch—I was bleeding and hurting all over. Then she kills one. Cries out to me, and I can't reach her. I mean I reached out for her but could never touch her. She thought I had abandoned her."
Calypso's face was white. "Percy—I'm sorry, I just—I didn't think it would do actual harm-"
He continued as though she hadn't spoken.

"I got more and more curses trying to keep her from wandering off the cliff. Finally I couldn't fight anymore. I couldn't even stand."
Annabeth was staring at her hands, remembering that day and the fear.

"So I made one last, desperate plea, watching her almost fall off the cliff. That—for me—was the scariest part of Tartarus."
Annabeth was hugging herself now, as if she was cold.

There were tears in Calypso's eyes. "I know, Percy. I've been in love-"
"Not like this," He said. "Not like this. I woke up one day, didn't remember anything except for one thing, one person. And I traveled overland with monsters on my tail. There was one reason I didn't let the gorgons find my Heel. One reason I didn't let them kill me." He pointed a shaking a finger across the room at Annabeth. "Because I knew that there was at least one person who loved me and who would care if I died."

Annabeth was taking deep breaths to keep from crying. Percy looked at her once, then back at Calypso. "It wasn't you, Calypso. It was never you. I'm glad you have Leo now."
With that, he turned on his heel and walked out of the room. The room's silence was broken in a moment with the crash of Annabeth's chair—she had gotten up and was running after him.

In a few minutes she came back, wet and shaking. "He went into the ocean. I can't—he's going too fast."
Piper went to her, to comfort her, but Annabeth brushed her off. There was only one person right now who she wanted, one person who'd make her feel better. And he was gone.

It was hours later when Percy walked up onto the beach. The sky was dark, dotted with stars, and the beach empty.

He went into his cabin with a sad sigh, only to stop dead when he saw the shivering figure in his bunk.

She raised her eyes to his.
"Percy...I'm sorry...I was being rude, and inconsiderate..."

He came and knelt next to the bed.
"I'm sorry," She said again, crying now into her hands. Wordlessly, he reached out and pulled her to him, holding her as she cried.

"It's okay, I forgive you. I always forgive you, Annabeth," He murmured, over and over, into her hair. "I'm here. We're here."
Slowly, she stopped crying and just clung to him, wishing she could tell him how much she loved him like he had for her.
