A/N: YAY! Here's the start of Percabeth for you! Percabeth is my OTP so I am so happy to write this!
Disclaimer: Once again, characters ain't mine. All are Rick Riordan's. I own a cat.
Annabeth:
Feeling absolutely broken and crushed, Annabeth raced down towards the only safe place she remembered. Not her home where her parents didn't care about her. No. Not there. She headed towards Percy's apartment, somewhere she hadn't been in like 2 months. But despite her relationship with Luke, Percy would always be her best friend. He had been beside her in every quest since she was 12, except for when she followed The Mark of Athena, but even then, Percy was in the back of her mind. And when he had fallen into Tartarus for her, just so they could be together, she felt sure the 2 of them would never part again. But of course she had to be so stupid and fall for a regular mortal guy and ruin anything and everything between her and Percy. So even now, when she ran down the busy roads of New York, she felt an overwhelming guilt clawing at her heart for ignoring every text Percy had sent her, and for silencing her phone after his insistent phone calls.
She made the turn into Percy's street and could smell something familiar, something that smelt like home…
Blue cookies and pizza.
Without even meaning too, Annabeth called out Percy's name. And she couldn't help the smile growing on her face as a familiar mop of unruly black hair poked out the upper-storey window.
Percy.
Sprinting to the steps, she could feel the wind roaring past her face but nothing was going to stop her from reaching her best friend. She reached the door but before she could open it, it was flung open in her face, knocking into her nose hard. Her eyes watered for a moment but when my vision cleared, the best sight she had seen in the past month. A giant grin on a certain tanned face.
Percy POV:
When I saw her, I couldn't believe it. Wasn't she meant to be with Luke? But nothing would or could stop me as I raced down the steps to the front door and swung it wide open. Realising I might I overdone the enthusiastic part, I tried to slow down the door but failed dismally as the door slammed into the prettiest face I had ever seen (Don't tell Aphrodite I said that though!). Wincing in pain as the door made contact, a goofy grin settled on my face and I couldn't wipe it off.
Annabeth:
'Seaweed Brain'.
Annabeth couldn't hold back the small comment as it escaped her lips.
And without realising it was possible, Percy's grin grew even bigger.
Percy:
'Seaweed Brain', she whispered.
Percy felt as if his jaw was going to break by the enormous smile simply glued on.
'Hey Wise Girl', he grinned back.
Percy + Annabeth:
Nothing else mattered as the two of them collided with each other in a bone-crushing hug. Tears came to both of their eyes as the old friends reunited once more.
Sally:
Hearing the unusually loud commotion of someone racing down the stairs and slamming open the door, Sally curiously peered down from the balcony as the afternoon sun shone on her back. Carrying with her the dish she was drying and the towel she was drying it with, she poked her head over the railing. And there was her son hugging a girl with familiar blonde curls like there was no tomorrow.
Annabeth.
She had not seen the blonde in 2 months and had been curious about what had happened to the budding romance between the pair. When Percy had come home depressed after school, alone on the day Annabeth usually came back with him, she figured something was up but decided not to press the matter. She knew well enough that Percy would tell her in his own time if he wanted to.
But now, as the two rejoined once again, she knew that she had been right in trusting her son to figure things out between them. After all, the 2 had saved the world twice together so she knew well enough that they would be fine.
Even as a mother, she couldn't resist taking in her role and quickly prepared a nice snack of blue choc-chip cookies with a warm glass of milk for the pair.
When the two finally came back up after what seemed like forever, Sally feigned surprise and pulled the snack out of the cupboard as if she had cookies and warm milk lying around all the time. Usually she would have thought Annabeth would've picked up the weird organisation of hers but she was far too busy talking to Percy to notice the mistake in logic.
...So Percabeth is back together! I have never written a scene like this before so please review and tell me if you have any suggestions or anything. Thanks so much for reading!
