"Don't worry Perce,things are gonna go fine."
Grover was currently helping Percy get situated for his place to guard the flag for his team's "Capture the Flag" game. But it wasn't the fact that Percy had to defend his team's flag (Athena,Poseidon,Hermes) against the opposing team (Aphrodite,Ares,and Hephaestus) that scared him [the thought of fighting Aphrodite's kids didn't mind him much]/ It was the fact that he and Annabeth were taking the post of guarding the flag. And considering the fact that Percy had a major crush on Annabeth so bad that it caused a..."reaction" to go off in his pants when he was around her, the situation of having to be next to her for a long time made that worse.
"I don't know G-man. I mean,you know how much I like Annabeth." Percy replied as he pulled our Riptide, in pen form,of course.
"But, what does that have to do with anything?" Grover asked as he passed Percy his helmet."I would've been thrilled to be next to, let's say, Juniper, since she was my crush. I mean, if we weren't a couple already."
"I'm just worried I'll do or say something I'll regret to her."
"Look,just stay cool, and you'll be fine." Grover ten gave Percy a reassuring slap on the back, along with a smile.
Then,there was a rustling in the bushes. Percy and Grover turned around,expecting to see Annabeth, but instead saw a smiling Juniper.
Grover proceeded to give her a hug, then he mouthed to Percy "Good luck", and he and Juniper waved a goodbye to Percy.
Percy decided to sit on the ground for a while, since he was just waiting for Annabeth. As he did,he heaved a depressing sigh.
After 5 minutes, Percy heard a rustle in the bushes, and this time, it was Annabeth.
She was wearing her Camp Half Blood orange T-shirt and shorts, but her armor was covering it up. She had her bronze knife in one hand, shield in the other. And her blond hair was in that usual,messy ponytail.
"Hey, Annabeth." Percy greeted with a smile.
"Hey Percy. Chiron says the game has finally begun." Annabeth informed as she sat down on the ground.
"Okay." Percy followed her actions.
That is when they sat in a bit of awkward silence. And with no one around trying to get the flag floating in the wind behind them, it was boring, which didn't help their ADHD at all. But eventually,the sound was becoming more peaceful and comfortable to the two than "awkward".
It was like this for about 20 more minutes when it started to get colder. Percy noted this quickly and was grateful for the jacket he had on right now. But, he also noticed that unlike him, Annabeth didn't have a jacket on and was shivering, pretty hard. Percy could tell that Annabeth was trying to hide it though. Percy started to unzip his jacket and said,
"Um, Annabeth."
"Yes?" she replied,starting to hold her arms.
"Do you want to take my jacket?" By now Percy had his jacket off and was trying to pas it to her.
"No thanks Percy, I-I'll manage." Annabeth shivered.
"I insist."
"Seaweed Brain..."
Percy was still holding his jacket out to her, but she still wouldn't take it. And now, Annabeth was shivering quite violently.
"Annabeth, your taking my jacket."
"Percy,I am not."
Percy knew better than to start a total argument with Annabeth, since he knew that in the end, Annabeth would be freezing her ass off and eventually getting hypothermia while he would be wearing the jacket in disappointment,not saying a word. But, like most boys ( AN: No offense boys^^') , Percy said the first thing that came to mind.
"Well, why don't we both share the jacket." Percy started to blush. "And, you know...cuddle."
Annabeth just looked at Percy like he was a big, hairy spider (and that is saying a lot), yet did not say a word. Instead she scooted over next to him, but kept her head looking down as if she was shy. Percy wrapped the side of the jacket closer to her around her,along with his arm. Both were blushing and looked anywhere but at each other,acting shy and all, but still none said a word, nor complained the least bit.
After another ten minutes, still no one came after the flag, which was fine to Percy and Annabeth. They were now hugging each other,as if for more warmth.
Percy was still blushing from contact. He closed his eyes and pulled her closer to him, as if he was enduring much more of this moment as he could. Suddenly, he felt something warm (and partially wet) kiss his cheek. He opened his eyes and saw it was Annabeth's lips kissing him.
As she pulled back, Percy had that goofy smile of his plastered on his face. Annabeth smiled back at him.
"What was that for, Wise Girl?" Percy asked,slightly amused.
"Let's just say that it was a...'best friend' kiss." Annabeth confirmed as she laid her head on his shoulder.
Percy sighed contently at Annabeth.
You are gonna be the death of me one day...
