Annabeth POV

Annabeth glanced down at the number and smirked at Percy, knowing she had won, only to find that Percy's hands were over his eyes and face.

"Percy…" Annabeth said, dragging out the word for better effect, "why are you covering your face?"

"No reason." He said firmly, turning away.

His blush was caught by Annabeth, since she had been looking for it specifically. She grinned ferally. "You knew didn't you. You knew you had gained weight."

Percy sighed, still facing away. "Yes." He sighed again. "I just didn't want to tell you."

"And why not?..." she trailed off, leaving the rest of the sentence open for him to finish.

"Because I was embarrassed." He mumbled quietly.

"Hm? What did you say? Can you repeat it?" She said, smirking "I couldn't quite hear you."

"I was too embarrassed." He mumbled, just slightly louder.

"Sorry, didn't catch that, what?" She said with a slight teasing tone.

"I WAS EMBARRASSED! ARE HAPPY NOW?" He yelled, and Annabeth was sure that even the gods in Olympus could hear it.

"Yes." She responded smiling, "but something confuses me, why were you too embarrassed to tell me? I could've helped you know."

"Because I was ashamed," Percy admitted, "that I could conquer thousands of monsters and giants and titans and even primordials, but I was to weak to control my cravings and eating habits."

"Percy, you've always eaten a lot."

"Uh huh. Then why did I just start gaining weight?" He moaned, head in hands.

"Because you haven't been exercising, Seaweed Brain. In the past five years or so, we've been at war almost constantly, fighting and training were basically pass-times. Now that there are no enemies, you haven't been working out as much."

"Oh." He said, "that explains it."

"Yup." Annabeth said, popping the P.

Awkward silence.

"So…" Percy drawled, "what are we having for dinner?"

Annabeth glared at him and he held his hands up in defeat.

"Seriously Seaweed Brain? We were talking about losing weight and you think of food?"

Percy grinned sheepishly, scratching the back of his neck. "It seemed like an appropriate question at the time."

Woah, big words right there. Annabeth never thought he would even know what the word 'appropriate' meant, despite being older than 17.

He wrinkled his nose. "Now that I think about it though, that probably wasn't a good time, was it?"

"No duh Kelp Head." Annabeth sighed, shaking her head, "That was like, the worst question you could've asked."

Another awkward silence.

"But actually, what are we having for dinner?"

Annabeth groaned, that boy never changes, does he?


(A/N now it's in 1st person)

Percy POV

After I asked what we were eating a second time, Annabeth just groaned and ignored the question like I had never asked in the first place. You can't blame me, it was a very legit question.

Someone tapped me on the shoulder and I jumped, only to slam head first into the towel rack. It smarted like crazy and I winced.

"Nico, nice of you to drop in." Annabeth said, giving a straight face at the now identified entity behind me.

"Yes," I snapped, turning around to glare at him, still slightly sour from Annabeth's nagging and my embarrassment from earlier. "Very nice."

"Woah, someone's in a bad mood." Nico said, backing away as far away from me as he could in the confined space, I grinned internally, satisfied that my glare still looked scary, before frowning at myself. Since when did I care that my glare looked scary? And more importantly, why was I glaring at Nico? Must've been the head injury.

"Sorry." I sighed, biting down hard on my lower lip.

"So," Annabeth interrupted, "why are you here?"

Nico raised an eyebrow at her. "To chill, duh." He answered, "Why? Don't want me here?"

Then he looked back and forth between me and Annabeth, and seemed to take in the surroundings for the first time. His eyes widened. "Oh, was I interrupting something?"

"Not really." Annabeth responded before I could say anything, "just talking about how Percy has g-"

"-ot a new book!" I interrupted before she could say anything that would just embarrass me further than I already was.

She looked at me with that look that clearly said 'what was that?'. Then I realized my mistake. Nico knew I never read, like, ever, unless absolutely necessary.

Oh, caught red-handed. Oops.

Annabeth covered her laugh with a coughing fit, but it still sounded to me like she was laughing.

Nico was also smirking, obviously amused at my failed attempt at lying.

"What were you really doing?" Nico questioned

I sighed and buried my face in my hands again.

This really was a nightmare that never ended wasn't it? Why do the fates hate me that much? I mean like, seriously, first it was Annabeth, now Nico to. Next thing I know, the whole camp will know, camp Jupiter included! This day really couldn't get any worse, could it?

Wait, maybe I am dreaming. Wait no, it hurt when I hit my head earlier. Darn. I would be awesome if this was just a dream. But no, my luck I just really horrible I guess.

"Well Nico," Annabeth said slyly, and even through my fingers I could see her staring at me, "we were talking about how to help Percy lose weight."

I sucked in my stomach and tried to blend in with the wall behind me, even though it was white and my shirt was bright orange. This was really embarrassing for me.

I saw Nico glance at me, then at Annabeth.

"Why does he need to lose weight?" Nico asked, and I couldn't help but laugh.

"Yeah Annabeth!" I howled, clutching to towel rack I had slammed into earlier for support so i wouldn't fall and start rolling on the ground

Annabeth sighed and shook her head, and I swore I heard her mutter; "boys, so oblivious to things" under her breath.

"Oh no, you're not going to join the hunt, right?" I asked sarcastically to show I had heard her.

She glared at me. "I just might." She warned.

Apparently I was wrong earlier, this day could get worse, because at that moment, I heard the front door slam and someone called out; "Percy, you still home? I got a cute new shirt for you! It has a duck on it!"

Mom.


Oh my gods, this chapter is pretty long compared to my other ones, isn't it? I'll try my best to keep it up.

Also, cliffy! Kinda anyways. Not really, but still.
