Ok, imma get on with the good stuff! REVIEW OR YOUR SOUL WILL BE CAST DOWN TO THE PITS OF TARTURAUS! Or I'll just cry.

ANNABETH POV:

My breath caught in my throat as I pulled back. I looked back at Percy as he gave me a small, shy smile. I felt a grin creep its way ear to ear across my face. His arms were still around my waist and mine were still around his neck. Unfortunately, we had just past the impulsive ADHD kiss part, and were now moving into the awkward aftermath. You know. Where we'd actually have to talk about our feelings.

"So…" I whispered, trying get him to say something. Anything. Oh, gods. What it he didn't like me that much? What if he thought I was being to forward? What if he thought I was a bad kisser?

My worry must've started to show on my face, because Percy started to chuckle. What? The first thing he does after our first—well, second—kiss is chuckle? I glared at him, and moved my hands from behind his neck and crossed them beneath my chest. His eyes grew wide.

"No, no! I wasn't laughing at you! I was just laughing at…your face." He defended. Which made me feel a little better, but really? My face?

"What's so funny about my face?" I snapped. He sighed.

"Annabeth, you knew that's not what I meant."

"Well, then what did you mean?" Then he kissed me again. All I could think was Finally.

PERCY POV:

I softly kissed her lips, trying to put all that I felt into it. I pulled back with what I'm sure was a dazed expression. Kissing Annabeth was indescribable. Like my own personal brand of heroin. (A/N:I Just put that there to annoy my friend, who is a die-hard Twilight fan) She was at a loss for words. Either because she was really mad, or really surprised.

"Annabeth, believe it or not, I laughed because you just looked so self-conscious and scared. Which, is kinda what I should be looking like." Now she looked confused, which was something the daughter of Athena rarely looked like.

"What do you mean, you should be the scared one?" She asked, stepping a little closer to me, because before she'd backed away. I scrunched up my eyebrows, not believing I was about to say this.

"I mean, is I have had a crush on you since I was twelve, and been all but in love with you since fourteen. And you're worried about me not liking you. You've always been my best friend, and I've always tried my best to protect you. But, I mean, if, you, y'know…wanna…" I had been looking at the floor of the bubble the whole time, avoiding looking her in the eyes. I finally looked up, after a few moments of silence. She had her jaw dropped and eyebrows raised. "Really, Annabeth? I just poured my heart out to you, and you just stand there?" a huge smile slowly crept onto her face.

"Y'know, Seaweed Brain, you could've said something about three years ago." She said, her beautiful eyes twinkling. She put her hands on my chest, causing my breath to shorten. Again. This girl will be the death of me. I smiled. Then frowned, confused.

"Wait, wait. You've liked me since we were thirteen?" I asked incredulously. She laughed.

"Yep. How long did you think I'd liked you?" She asked, cocking her head to the side, in an absolutely adorable way.

"Um…to be honest…maybe…since a few days ago." I admitted, which was true. I thought it was a, 'Hey, Percy's the hero of Olympus now, that makes me realize how cool and hot he's always been,' type thing. Well, if it had to be that way, I thought it could at least go like that. Now I felt guilty thinking Annabeth would be that shallow. And I also felt extreme disbelief that this amazing woman, who could of easily had her pick of any of the guys at camp or in the state of New York, picked me.

Annabeth, however, had her mouth dropped, this time in disbelief at my stupidity.

"Are you serious? I have been giving you hints for years! I all but told you. I danced with you at the Olympian party, I told you it might've not been Luke I loved in the prophecy, I freaking kissed you! And you thought I'd only liked you for a few days! You Seaweed Brain!" she lightly wacked me on the head.

"Ow." I mumbled, rubbing my head, out of habit, it's not like it hurt, I mean, I was invincible. I sighed. "I'm sorry Annabeth. It's just…well, I mean I was hopeful…that you were…but I always thought…that you'd never want to be with me. you're way to good for me." I mumbled to my feet. I then felt soft hands grab my chin, and lifted my head up to meet those enchanting grey moons again.

"How can you say that?" She asked softly. She cupped my cheek with her right hand and used the left to run through my hair, sending tingles through my scalp. "Percy, First of all, You're a child of the Big Three. I'm just a scrawny daughter of Athena." I started to protest, but she held up a finger to stop me. "You are the savior of Olympus, of the world. You're funny, brave, loyal to no end, which, no matter what my mother says, is not a flaw. Everyone at camp loves you. Your mom loves you to death, both of your parents love you. You're really smart even if a Seaweed Brain sometimes. You have the most amazing eyes I've ever seen, and I've always wanted to run my hands through your hair. You're the best person I've ever met, so don't you dare think a bout going on about I am too good for you." My mouth had gone dry, and I was sure I was looking at her like I'd never seen her before. Annabeth wasn't usually one to express her feelings. And to think she'd said all that about me

"Y-You really think that." I asked, still unbelieving. She moved in closer, touching my forehead to hers which was incredibly hot. I looked down to her beautiful lips, thinking about how they'd been pressed up against mine earlier. Oh, how I wanted to taste her again…

"Mmmmm…" she answered, once again putting her hands against my chest, making it significantly harder to focus. Luckily, I didn't have to. She moved in closer, I tilted my head, my lips slightly parted, feeling her warm breath once again rush over my lips. I snaked my arms around her shoulders, getting them tangled in her silky, blond hair. Her lips came down on mine, putting me in absolute bliss. Her silky lips moved over mine, taking control, which, again, I found incredibly hot. She deepened the kiss, pulling me closer.

I don't know how much longer we stayed under there, kissing, and talking. It was undoubtedly the best night ever. Eventually I grabbed her by the waist, and propelled up toward the surface. We had stayed up way past curfew, but I didn't care. I once again dried her off, then took her hand and walked her to her cabin. When we got the steps of the Athens cabin. She turned around.

"I'll…see you tomorrow, right?" She asked.

"'Course, Annabeth. Where else would I be?" I joked. She cracked a smile, before giving me one last mind-numbing kiss, which had just as big effect on me as the first. Then, she whispered something I never thought I'd hear.

"I love you." She kissed my cheek, and ran into her cabin before I could say anything. Not that I would be able to, anyway. I felt a goofy smile curl its way on my face and I all but skipped to my cabin. I plopped down on my bed and smiled. Everything was perfect.

And I was drunk on love.
