Can't Help Falling In Love

AU Luke's dating Annabeth all is well until one of his buddies, Percy, starts falling for her. Percy's a player and a bit of a jerk. How's Luke going to react? Are their friendship going to last? Does Annabeth feel the same way?

Btw, yes the title is made to be like Elvis' song. I'm going to do a little something with it later on ;) Probably a songfic towards the end? I don't know…you'll have to find out.. :)

Disclaimer: I do NOT own PJO or the song by Elvis ^_^ This story's probably overused, but I reeeaally wanted to make a fanfic about it. Soooo enjoy :)

"You seem pretty happy," I smirked, as Luke slouched next to me on my couch. A typical Saturday. Luke comes over at my house, watch the Jets play, then go to the usual place to flirt with some girls.

"You have no idea," he mumbled. I raised an eyebrow when a silly smile was dancing on his lips.

My eyes left the TV. I studied him for a moment.

"You look like you either got laid or…"

"Shut up," he laughed, punching me hard on the shoulder. He ran his fingers through his hair. "I just met this girl…"

"Aw, man, not again." I took my attention away from Luke and on to the football game in the TV.

"No, dude, she's different, she's—"

"That's what you said with Thalia," I mumbled. I swore as the opposing team, the Bears scored a touchdown. Those (drop f-bomb here) Bears.

He bit his lip.

"Perce, just hear me out for a sec."

I glanced at him with lazy eyes.

"She's beautiful, she's super smart, she has this aura that just feels so… right." His eyes had a mesmerized look. "And-and, her eyes. Are so gorgeous…"

I started humming the song 'Just the Way You Are' when Luke said 'her eyes'. He shook his head.

"You don't take any of this seriously do you?" he asked.

"Sure I do."

"Ever since your break-up with Calypso, you've always been so touchy when I tell you about my relationships," he mumbled.

I gave him a tired look. He exchanged glances with me. I sighed, giving up. I gave Luke my full attention.

"So," I said, "Where'd you meet her?"

"At Starbucks," he started babbling. "I bumped into her and the moment I saw her eyes, I knew she was the one."

"Okay, okay, dude," I interrupted. "You do know you sound really corny right now, right?"

He shot me a look.

"I don't care, she just seems so perfect. Anyways, after I apologized to her, I sat her down and offered her a drink. We started talking about random stuff. I heard something click between us. Then, I asked for her phone number and asked her out to Café Laguna [A/N: That's a real restaurant one of my favorites :)] And God, she's hot. I just want to—"

"Whoa, dude, TMI. Too much information." I took a sip from my Coke and continued watching the game.

"Shush," he said, shoving me lightly. "Can you come with? Just for a little bit? I want you to see if she's right for me. You would know 'cause you're my best friend, right?"

I froze. Woops.

"Ah, Luke, buddy," I told him, taking another sip of Coke. "I have a date…"

"What?"

"Her name's Rachel, I met her at the mall, met up with her again a couple o' times and I kind of promised her I'd meet her tonight."

Luke stared at me for a second with shock.

"I thought you said you were done with dating after Calypso moved?"

I glared at the ground.

"I talked to her earlier this week. She told me to move on. No matter how many times I say to her "Love is no distance" (stole that from 'She was Mine' by AJ Rafael haha) she says there's no way it's going to work out. I told her I loved her and she repeated it back. Then we said goodbye for the last time."

It was silent for a moment. Luke looked at me unsurely.

"If only she didn't move to Cali," he murmured.

"If only," I replied. "Anyways, sorry I can't go. I can't ditch Rachel."

Luke suddenly snapped his fingers like he just had an idea.

"We should do a double-date."

He repeated it again, satisfied of his brilliant idea. I rolled my eyes.

"Sure, pretty boy, give me a sec, I'm gonna let Rachel know."

Should I do a chapter about what happened with Calypso and Percy? Hmmm…Review and tell me if I should do so. Happy reading everybodies :) (wrong grammar intended)
