Percy's POV
Based after PJ: Last Olympian and after ATLA: Sozin's Comet Part 4
Please review, and add story to your favorites! I really want to hear what you have to say.
Aang walked around the camp with Toph and Katara for a while. I kind of got the feeling Aang and Katara were together, but they weren't as serious as Zuko and Mai, or Sokka and Suki.
Instead of going along and playing tour guide, I stayed with Annabeth. Sokka, Mai, Zuko, and Suki went to the Big House to talk with Chiron. I watched them walk up the hill, really trying to figure out who their Olympian parents were.
"Do you have any idea?" Annabeth looked at me helplessly.
"A couple about a couple," I said. "But about the others, I have no idea."
"Who've you gotten figured out so far?" She asked, lacing her fingers in mine. My cheeks burned, but I managed to answer her in a casual tone.
"Well," I said as I started to walk towards the lake. "I think it's safe to say that Sokka and Katara are Poseidon's children."
"How's that gonna work out for you?"She asked, looking into my eyes.
"It's gonna be fine," I shrugged. "I mean, I've already shared my cabin with Tyson before."
"And now you have a brother around your age," She pointed out. "That's cool, you guys can do something waterish all the time. And you have a little sister."
"She's not that little," I defended quickly. That was stupid. I don't even know her. Besides, she's only a little sister to me; nothing more. She never will be, I mean, she can't, right?
"Fine," Annabeth raised an eyebrow at me. She smiled slightly. "Younger sister."
I was about to point out that she wasn't that young either, but decided this wasn't a fight I wanted to pick with my girlfriend.
"I suppose you already know that Aang is Zeus's son," She changed the topic.
"Could he be anyone else's son?" I asked.
"Well," She looked out over the lake. Her blonde hair blew softly in the wind. I had to take in the moment and, once again, marvel at how beautiful she was. Her grey eyes stood out to me more than anything else in the whole world. She always-
"You okay, Seaweed Brain?" She joked, smiling. I pulled myself out of my thoughts, and back in the real world. "Lost in thought, are we?"
"Yeah, I'm fine," I said. I cleared my throat. Truth is, I was always lost in thought when I was with her. She was just so much to think about. And not in a creepy way, but there were so many ways she looked at situations, she was always coming up with new things, she loved-
"What are the chances Zuko is a son of…"She trailed off, but I wasn't really listening. "Hey, uh…Percy? You listening to-" She started to say, but I swooped in to kiss her instead.
In case I haven't gone over this before, Annabeth is a good kisser. She was the one to kiss me the first time. I just thought I needed to say that.
Annabeth pulled away, smiling. "Come on," She said, taking my hand. She lead me down to the end of the dock, and we sat there together, with our feet in the water. My favorite part of camp, besides Annabeth, was the lake. Since I am a son of Poseidon, I have a strange connection with water that most teenagers don't have.
We sat there, in silence, her head on my shoulder, our hands intertwined, for a few minutes.
"I'm so glad you're here," She whispered. She tilted her head, ever so slightly, and kissed me. The hair stood up on the back of my neck. I laughed in my head, at myself. I can't even have a normal kiss, without something happening to me. I think it's unfair, but that's how my life works. Happy me.
"You too," I managed in between kisses. I awkwardly put my hands around her waist. Since we were sitting, it wasn't very spectacular. But, I was with Annabeth, and she was happy, and that's what mattered to me most.
I put my forehead on hers and our noses were touching. We smiled at each other. I started laughing for no reason, and she laughed too. It was kind of crazy. I mean, we'd known each other since we were twelve. And now she was my girlfriend, four years later. It was sometimes weird to me, but it was just too easy to be with her, it couldn't be that weird when we were together.
"I love you," She whispered. She'd said this once before, and that was a good shock. It was a good thing to hear. It was comforting.
"I love you too," I whispered. I kissed her again.
I could wait til tomorrow to check on the newcomers…
