A Very Half-Blood Christmas
When Percy Got the Best Present Ever
2nd December
"Seaweed brain!", called the blonde, young woman with a soft smile, waving.
She wore a light gray trench-coat and decent make-up, her blonde hair floating in curls around her frame as if she was an angel. Percy grinned broadly, lifting the two paper cups of coffee in greeting.
"I bring you peace-offers", grinned the son of Poseidon. "Sorry for bothering you so early."
"Not a problem", smiled Annabeth, hugging him and snatching one cup of coffee from him. "It's good to get out of the house again. Being major sucks. Everyone comes bothering me! Whenever I had been off, I only had enough energy to curl together on the couch and cuddle with Pips."
"Well, at least you have someone to cuddle to", muttered the son of Poseidon, taking a sip of his coffee. "Anyway, where do you want to go? You said you wanted to go into the city..."
"I need a Christmas present for Piper", muttered the daughter of Athena. "But whenever I am shopping, she's with me too. So this is the perfect opportunity. And you'll help me. If I have to listen to your whining again, I at least demand your help."
"Ouch... A present for Piper? That's a hard one", groaned Percy. "Can't you ask Jay for help?"
"Right. And fly across the country to New Rome?", snorted Annabeth ridiculed. "I don't have the time for that. Like I said, I don't have time for anything these days... So start talking before your time is up and I'll have to meet with... let me think... Nyssa, Jake, Leo and their neighbors. Or rather, their shop's neighbors. Because those annoying tinkerers built something again and it decided to walk next door and pick some flowers. Some rare flowers grown with the blessing of Demeter. This is going to be annoying again... So please, distract me!"
"Okay", nodded Percy with an amused half-smile, rummaging through his jacket's pocket, pulling a piece of blue chocolate out. "When I woke up yesterday, I found an advent calendar in my room. And it has blue chocolate. See? Anyway, Rach and I came to the conclusion that it must be from Nico, but I'm not sure about that... I mean..."
"You don't think he likes you like that, yes, I got that. I got that years ago", grunted Annabeth and rolled her eyes. "The thing is, you have to sit down with yourself for that one. Rachel and I keep telling you that there is a reason Nico fought so hard during the Giant War. And that reason is currently walking beside me, looking like a kicked puppy."
Percy put the blue chocolate between his lips to suck it, his eyes trailing along the windows of the shops, a thoughtful look on his face. He wasn't so sure about all of this. Rachel and Annabeth kept telling him to go and try his luck, but if his luck failed him – like it loved to anyway – then he would lose Nico for good. And he would never take that risk.
"If he likes me, he has to make the first step", shrugged the son of Poseidon. "I won't risk losing him. That's not going to happen. Not even if there is a chance for me to get him. The chance of losing him is too great. That will never happen. Oh! How about a scarf?"
"What?", asked Annabeth and stumbled some.
"A scarf. For Piper", chuckled the Sea Prince and linked their arms, bumping shoulders with his best friend. "You know, that girl you're living with. Christmas present?"
"Stupid", grunted Annabeth and stuck her tongue out. "And a scarf is boring. A scarf doesn't say 'I'll love you until the end of days and want to wake up next to you every morning'."
"Good lords, nothing says that", laughed Percy, shaking his head. "Seriously, you'll never find a present if you have such high requirements!"
"Well, maybe it doesn't have to be that special", muttered the blonde, a slight blush gracing her cheeks. "But it still has to be more special than a scarf."
"Dully noted down", nodded the son of Poseidon thoughtful. "Well then, seaweed brain and wise girl on the quest for the impossible Christmas present. Sounds right to me."
