Tell the truth

When she stepped into his cabin, he was going through his drawers, frantically throwing piece of clothing after piece of clothing out of the dresser. She dodged a flying orange camp shirt and frowned, knowing he was looking for something.

"Percy?" she asked.

He froze, and turned slowly, eyes wide. Something inside her dropped, and instead of letting that show on her face, she morphed her expression into one of suspicion. "What did you do?" Her voice was strong, none of the disappoint she feels inside leaking through it.

He turned back around and started digging through the clothes again, moving onto a different drawer. He didn't answer for a moment, not until she realized that the only other drawer is the top one, and he wasn't opening that one at all.

Underwear, probably, Annabeth thought.

He finally faced her and frowned, a severely sorry look resting on his face. "Annabeth…I'm sorry…I lost the sketch…"

"You lost the sketch."

"I think. I haven't checked my, uh, my underwear drawer yet."

Yep, underwear. She has to fight off a smile.

She pushed past him, practically running towards the drawer. "Annabeth, don't - " he tried saying. She pulled the drawer loose, and peered inside of it. Sure enough, underwear rested in messy clumps throughout the drawer. But the underwear was a bunch of boxers. Poking out from under the boxers was a folder, and in said folder was a bunch of pictures.

She flipped through them, well aware of Percy's nervous gaze on her back. She turned to him, and held up the sketch of a plan for the Athena cabin. "You know, Percy, all you had to do was look through all the pictures of us you've seemed to gather to find it."

He flushed and started stuttering.

But she smiled and walked up to him, placing a chaste kiss on his lips.

"You didn't need to hide the pictures, Seaweed Brain. And the next time you lose an important sketch, always look in your underwear drawer first." She winked and walked towards the exit. Before she left she added, "And thanks for telling me the truth. Means a lot."

When she was gone was when he answered with a smile and a quiet, "Yeah…no problem."

AN: Oh, look, an update chapter thing.

I am so determined to finish this that I made it a project I know I could finish.

"Be her best friend

Tell the truth"

I do believe we've gotten to the second lyric of the chorus, guys. :D

Enjoy~
