Percy Jackson and the Olympians- Percy and Annabeth

Percy POV

I was nodding off. Nodding off in the middle of a ceremony and it was my wedding. Sound familiar? This happens all the time.

Then I hear Annabeth's name, and my ears perk up. I notice she's wearing a veil. I'm suddenly listening with everything I've got. She goes up to the platform and stands in front of me. I'm baffled. The ceremony continues like normal and then after we say 'I do' Chiron says, "You may kiss the bride".

I lean in towards her and pull the veil off to find…

Grover?

"Percy! Please let go of me and wake up! Don't do that! I'm warning you, Percy, if you keep this up I'm getting Chiron!"

I immediately woke up to find myself standing in front of Grover in my nightclothes (which are a pair of boxers). I looked like I was about to kiss him.

I backed away slowly.

"Percy, what the heck is wrong with you? You've done this ten times now!" he wailed. "I don't think I can go through one more night with you sleep walking and moaning!"

"Sorry, Grover. It's probably Aphrodite making me dream of…" I stopped myself. I hadn't told Grover I was in love with Annabeth. Should I? No, Grover could repeat anything to Chiron, and Chiron would probably laugh until the Gods became tired of it and shut him up. But I had to tell some one!

"Grover, I think I like-"

"Oh Gods, Percy, go put some clothes on!" I heard Annabeth yell. I blushed so deeply that I think Grover thought I was sick.

"He was sleepwalking again, Annabeth. And this time he was moaning-"

"Grover!" I said angrily. "Can I talk to you for a second?"

"Sure, Percy. See you later Annabeth!" Grover said.

"Grover," I said when Annabeth was out of range. "I think I'm in love with Annabeth."

"Well, that's no surprise," Grover said sadly.

"You sound sad about this," I pointed out.

"Annabeth still likes Luke," Grover muttered.

"That Kronos-loving turd!" I yelled.

"Shhhhh!" Grover said. "People are still asleep."

"I knew that," I muttered. "I think I'm going to go get dressed…"

"Be my guest," Grover said.

I immediately ran back to my cabin and threw on a T-Shirt and a pair of shorts. To be truthful, I'd had this dream over and over for a long time now, and I was getting tired of waking up about to kiss something.

Before Grover first intercepted me, I'd run into a tree, and before that I'd kissed the toilet. Aphrodite seemed to like taunting me, unless Hermes knew and he was the one giving me dreams. I wasn't exactly sure because Aphrodite was the Goddess of love, but Hermes was the God of dreams.

"Someday I'm going to accidentally intercept Annabeth while I'm asleep, and then what?" I muttered to myself. "She gets up early enough to watch me run amok moaning her name. If she's already seen me, I think I'll just fall down and die now."

Annoyed at myself, I left the cabin and went off to get an early breakfast.

Annabeth POV

I was a little freaked out when I saw Percy kiss a tree a couple of weeks ago, no doubt about that. Percy didn't seem like the type to go after tree nymphs, and I didn't quite want him to be, either. So, like a child of Athena would, I decided to watch him in the mornings and find out. I always had on my invisibility cap, and I always followed close behind him every time he went sleepwalking. The first time I heard him moan my name, though; I thought he knew I was there. I was just about to explain why I was following him when he moaned again, eyes closed and all.

"I love you, Annabeth," he'd said.

I was in total shock. I couldn't move. That was the first time Grover intercepted him. Poor, poor Grover. Percy almost kissed him, like he's almost done ten times now. I've thought about intercepting him and seeing what he'd do if he woke up to find me sitting there, but I have the feeling he would kiss me before he woke up, because I can't shake people as hard as Grover can, and he would easily overpower me. Especially then, I think he'd be embarrassed, and I would, too. So I never have.

I'm torn between two, Percy and Luke. I know Luke's in there somewhere, and Percy, well, Percy's Percy. It's been like this for a long time now, and I don't think I can take it any longer.

Now, however, he's going back to his cabin. No, I did not let him talk privately with Grover. I threw my cap back on and ran after them.

I heard the whole conversation. Not only did I find out that he loved me and he really knew it, I found out it was obvious. I followed Percy into his cabin, and heard everything he said alone, too.

Sometimes I wish I were some one else…

Grover POV

Don't get me wrong. Percy's an awesome guy, but when your best buddy starts trying to kiss you in his sleepwalking, you know you have to say something, because he needs help. A lot of help. So I went to Chiron.

Of course I knew he would kill me if I went to Chiron, but too late. I went there anyway. He's going to kill me now.

When I told Chiron, he was quiet at first. Then he burst out laughing, and did not stop until Mr. D came in and asked what his problem was.

"Percy has been sleepwalking and trying to kiss Grover," Chiron spluttered. "Apparently, he's been moaning Annabeth's name."

Mr. D sighed. "I always knew this would happen. Some one please go get the emergency door. It won't open until 7 am."

"I'll go get it, sir." Chiron said, and he galloped gracefully out of the room.

"Now, Grover," Mr. D said. "I have to speak with Percy, if you don't think he'll mind, although he doesn't really have a choice. Would you go get him please?"

So here I am knocking on Percy's cabin door when Annabeth pops up out of nowhere.

"He's gone to get breakfast," she told me.

"Thanks," I said, and left to go get him. "This is going to take a bit of explaining," he thought to himself.
