Percy

"I hope you realize you're fighting a lost battle." Annabeth smirked at me before turning to parry my sword. I swung Riptide around, only to have it blocked skillfully, again, by Annabeth's knife. Her dark blond hair cascaded down her back in a waterfall of curls, and her stormy grey eyes were deep in calculation.

I stabbed. She parried. I rolled. She countered. Just as I was starting to believe I had lost, I stepped back into a stream. The cool water refreshed my tired muscles, instantly cooling me off and renewing my strength.

Grinning triumphantly, I saw Annabeth's grey eyes widen. Feeling a familiar tug in my gut, I lifted the water from the riverbed. The water shot towards Annabeth, wrapping securely around her waist in one fluid motion. (No pun intended.) the water lifted her as she struggled to break free.

"Percy! Percy put me down!"

I laughed. "Hmmmm… How about no?"

Desperately, Annabeth slashed her knife at the water, but it just went right through. I moved her so she was directly above the riverbed, and her eyes widened more as she realized what I was about to do.

"Percy. Don't do it. Don't. Do. It."

Rolling my eyes, I dropped her into the water. Screaming and flailing, she landed with a splash. I was holding my sides, trying to breathe through my laughter as she surfaced soaking wet and glaring at me.

"Oh yeah? You think that's funny Seaweed Brain?" She said as she started to walk towards me.

"Yeah. Actually, that was very funny." I grinned.

"Well do you think this is funny?" She lowered her voice seductively. Suddenly, I started to notice odd things now. Like how her slender hips swayed when she walked, and how smooth her tan skin looked. How her neck arched perfectly atop her slim shoulders. Staring into my eyes, she walked forward until our faces were inches apart. I forgot my name, forgot where I was, forgot how to move. For a moment, I even forgot how to breathe. I gulped, taking in her beautiful face. Her head tilted up to me, lips a teasing inch from mine. I felt her slide her hands up my chest, and my skin savored the feeling.

Giving up entirely on resisting, I leaned down and pressed my lips to hers. Her mouth was warm and achingly soft on mine. I swear I could've stayed there with her forever at that moment. But then, of course, she pushed me into the river.

Annabeth

I starred into his widening sea green eyes as I inched closer. Calculating his reaction, I teasingly parted my lips up at him, while secretly taking him in. His jet black hair was ruffled atop his head, his skin tan and even. Over the summer, he had grown a couple inches taller than me, but he didn't tower over me to much.

I seductivly slid my hands up his bare chest, enjoying the strong feel of his stomach. Under my hands, I felt his heart quicken, and forced myself to retain my smirk. Looking up at him, I tilted my head, letting my hair tumble over one shoulder. Giving in, he closed the small gap between us and kissed me. One of the many talents Percy has, is that he happens to be an amazing kisser. In fact, he was so good, I almost forgot my revenge plan. Key word, almost.

Shoving him back, I pushed him into the water. I burst out laughing at the look of surprise on his face. Since he wasn't expecting it, he had forgotten to keep himself dry, and was now as dripping wet as I was. Then, suddnely he grabbed my hands. He leaned back and pulled me into the water on top of him before I could even scream. My hands landed on both sides of his head, and my legs stradeled his stomach. I looked down at him, the water flowing through his soft black hair. His impossibly green eyes looking up at me openly.

Before I could change my mind, I slowly lowered my lips to his. His mouth instantly warmed mine, and I distantly felt my brain cloud over. Time seemed to stop as I kissed him fiercly. I lowered myself to my elbows to get closer, my whole body tingling. He snaked his arms around my waist, pulling my toghter to him. I was happy to oblige. He tilted his head as we kissed, deepening the kiss. My brain was mixed between going into overdive and shutting down completely. I licked his lower lip, silently asking for access inside of his mouth. A place I never thought I'd get to taste. In response, his tounge gently met mine. Everywhere we touched, it felt as though fire erupted. And I absoloutly loved it.

I lowered my mouth to his jawline, then lower to his neck. I heard him groan as I kissed his neck. He arched his head higher in pleasure, before dipping his head to catch my lips once more. More adrenaline rushed through me while I was kissing my best friend, than I had experienced when fighting any monster. All I was thinking, was that we should definitely do this more often.

When he pulled away I almost wimpered. But I didn't, because that's when he said it. "I love you Annabeth."

I froze, simply starring down at him. My body went rigid as thought rushed through my head like a hurrincane. Percy loves me. Perseus Jackson, loves me. My best friend, my soulmate, my Seaweed Brain, loves me. I wanted to say that I loved him too, to make the frown dissapear from his face. I wanted to kiss him again, longing for the smooth feeling of his lips, and the warmth that coarsed though my skin in his arms. But I could'nt move. I was frozen over him.

And that's how the camp found us.
