A/N: Sorry this took so long. I've been super busy lately. School and other stuff. But I wasn't even thinking of the next chapter until I sat down at my computer last night and just wrote this up. Sorry it's not that long. But I did want to write something that had Percy/Grover interaction. They're so funny in the books. :)
A tickling feeling.
He got a tickling feeling every time he looked at her.
At the beginning he took it to mean that he had eaten something bad, or that something evil was approaching. But eventually even his own oblivious self had to admit that that wasn't what it was. That special, tickling feeling in his abdomen that felt as if thousands of butterflies had been released wasn't a warning or a reaction of even a stomach flu.
I'm sure you know what was plaguing young Percy. I'm sure everyone knows. If even Percy, himself, knows now, then you can safely assume that it's common knowledge.
Except to the object of his affections of course.
Annabeth Chase walked by the table with a smile. She didn't stop but Percy's eyes followed her anyway. She really did look pretty today.
"Dude!"
Percy looked up to Grover's scowl. "I told you to go fish like 5 minutes ago and you aren't fishing!"
"Sorry." Percy took a card from the pile while Grover shook his head.
"You should just ask her out already." Grover laid a pair of 4s aside.
Percy's cheeks burned and he coughed. "What are you talking about?"
Grover rolled his eyes. "The entire camp and everyone on Mount Olympus know you like Annabeth." He paused. "I'll bet even the dead people in the underworld know."
"I don't like Annabeth."
"Of course you do. It's time to ask her out. You two have been making eyes at each other for years. You can practically feel the sexual tension."
Percy's face turned a shade darker. "Even if I did maybe like Annabeth, I couldn't just ask her out."
"Why? And don't say something stupid like 'it would ruin our friendship'. You guys don't have a friendship. You have a loveship." Grover snorted.
"Loveship is totally not a word," Percy said.
"Of course it's a word. I just used said it, didn't I? And stop changing the subject. You know I'm right. You and Annabeth should go out." Grover smiled. "Don't say you don't like the idea of dating her."
Percy shrugged. "Well sure I'd like to go out with her. Who wouldn't? She's pretty and smart and cool." His face turned slightly dreamy by the end.
"If anyone would want to go out with her, shouldn't you ask her out before someone else does? I'm pretty sure that George from Hermes cabin has a major crush on her and he's not shy at all."
Percy's expression turned alarmed. "You don't think she'd go out with anyone else, do you?"
Grover shrugged. "If I was her, I'd get tired of waiting."
Percy nodded. "Ok. I guess I will then. I'll ask Annabeth to go on a date with me-"
Grover grinned. "Perfect! I always knew you two were meant to be."
"-Tomorrow."
A/N: Well this oneshot (more like drabble...I guess?) will have a sequel with Percy actually asking Annabeth out. Yay! Hopefully it will be written quickly so I can post soon.(Oh and just to clarify because I reread it and it sounded a bit strange. The 'tomorrow' at the end doesn't means that Percy's procrastinating and instead of asking Annabeth right now he's going to ask her tomorrow. Not that they he's going to ask if she wants to go on a date with him tomorrow. I'll be I'm just making this worse. ^^ )
Random question. Has anyone seen the Percy Jackson movie? If so, what did you think? For me, there were some parts that were ok but some parts that just made me go 'WHAT?? That's not supposed to happen!!' But then I still can't get over Annabeth not being blonde....
Till next time!
