Three Little Words

December 24th. 11:00 am.

"What do you get a girl for Christmas?" Percy asked, stuffing his hands into his puffy green Northface. He tilted his head back and a tiny snowflake dissolved on his cheek.

The son of Poseidon shivered in his coat as the wind slapped his numb, reddened face. He trudged through the thick snow covered campground and looked at his blonde friend who was adjusting his blue wooly hat.

Jason shrugged. "Something girly or romantic. Girls like that stuff. Try getting Annabeth a teddy bear or a rose."

Percy winced. "Something tells me Annabeth wouldn't like that." He knew his girlfriend pretty well and he knew she was would be pretty pissed if she got a teddy bear for Christmas.

He could imagine her crossing her arms over her chest and scrunching up her nose in disgust. Percy Jackson, you got me a...teddy bear? I suppose you think every girl likes teddy bears, but I'm not every girl. You most definitely aren't just any girl, Percy thought to himself. "What are you getting Reyna?"

Jason did a double take. "I have to get her something?" He asked incredulously.

Percy smirked with amusement. "You guys are going out."

"If you call occasionally kissing 'going out' then sure."

"So get her a teddy bear," Percy joked while Jason frowned. The blonde stopped in his tracks and looked at his friend with narrowed eyes

"Not funny, Percy."

Percy laughed as the two passed Venus's cabin. "Guess we're in over our heads, huh?"

"Whatever. I'll catch ya later, man. I'm going to see Piper for a second." Jason said bye to his friend and then headed towards Venus's house. Percy rolled his eyes and wondered why Jason didn't just go out with Piper. It was obvious to everyone in the camp that he liked her, except for Piper that is.

December 24th. 2:13 pm.

Sipping their hot chocolates, Annabeth and Hazel walked into the log cabin and sat down at one of the empty tables. Hazel tied her thick, curly hair up and asked Annabeth curiously, "What are you getting Percy for Christmas?"

The blonde shrugged and said, "I figured I would make his favorite blue cookies. I heard him telling Leo the other day that he could really die for a plate of them. His mom used to make them."

"Oh."

Annabeth looked at Hazel with confusion. "Bad idea?"

"No, it's just...I thought couples were supposed to get their significant others something really special after they've been together for more than a year."

"Really?"

Hazel shrugged. "It's just something I assumed because Percy told Frank that he was thinking of doing something special."

Annabeth laughed. "Seaweed Brain being romantic? Doubtful. He'll probably just get me a shirt from the souvenir shop." She stopped laughing and thought about Percy doing something special this Christmas. "Are you sure you heard right?"

With a hint of a blush, Hazel smiled. "I got it out of Frank the other day."

Annabeth looked worriedly down at her hot chocolate and said, "What should I get him?"

Hazel shrugged and said, "Toughie. Don't think I can help you with that one." She stood up and walked across the cabin to throw out her cup. Turning around to walk back towards Annabeth, she bumped into someone. "Sorry!" She said hurriedly and looked to see that she bumped into Leo.

"Hey, it's my fault, Hazel." He said with a mischievous smile. "Any exciting Christmas plans?

Blushing, she spat out, "Nope. I would stay, but I've got to go." Ignoring his cocked eyebrow, she pushed past him and walked hurriedly towards Annabeth, who was watching her with amusement.

Hazel sat down at the table and threw her head into her hands. "That was so embarrassing."

"Seems to me you're in a bit of a predicament. Does Frank know you're crushing on Leo?" Annabeth asked innocently, but her smirk gave away her amusement.

Hazel glared at her blonde friend and snapped, "I do not like Leo."

Annabeth threw her hands up in her front her and said, "Whatever you say, Haz." Hazel stood up and muttered something about going to find Frank in his cabin.

Once Hazel was out of earshot, the blonde clucked her tongue and said with laughter, "Denial."

December 24. 4:40 pm.

"That's got to be the worst shield I've ever seen," Leo said before bursting into laughter. Percy scowled and smacked his friend's shoulder.

"Whatever," The dark haired boy said looking at his deformed golden shield and threw it aside. "I'll just figure something else."

Jason grinned sheepishly and held up the shield he tried to make. "Mine isn't much better."

Leo shook his head and said, "Man, I pity both of you. You're running around with your heads cut off to look for a Christmas gift. Me? I'm enjoying the single life."

"Maybe I'll just buy her a shirt from the souvenir shop," Percy mumbled to himself, running a hand in his messy black hair.

"I could get Reyna a teddy bear?" Jason offered, scratching his head.

Laughing, Leo wrapped his arms around his two friends and chirped cheerfully, "That's the spirit, you two."

A knock came at the door before it opened abruptly. Standing regally, Reyna stood there and said briskly, "Jason, want to come on a walk with me?"

Knowing it was more of a command than an offer, Jason nodded and handed the hammer in his hand to Percy. "Sure, Reyna," he said as he followed her out of the workshop into the bone chilling wind and hurricane of snow.

"Think he's in trouble?" Percy asked Leo as soon as the door closed.

Leo shook his head and took the hammer out of Percy's hand. "Probably. Word on the street is you might be too."

Percy cocked an eyebrow. "Why's that?"

"I hear Annabeth has a pretty sweet gift for you. I overheard Hazel muttering something about anniversaries and junk."

Percy rubbed his temple. Anniversary ? Did Annabeth remember those picky details? "Are you sure you heard her right?"

Leo nodded. "You better get her something pretty special."

The Son of Neptune groaned. "Guess I'm not getting her a t-shirt."

The dark skinned boy slapped Percy on the back and said, "Maybe next time, bro."

December 24th. 6:32 pm.

"Hi," Percy said shortly as he sat beside his girlfriend who barely touched her food.

"Hi," Annabeth squeaked nervously when she heard him. Their conversation paused for an awkward silence as the two looked down at the table in silence.

"So...you excited for Christmas?" He asked her, trying to make conversation, but it sounded weird coming from him.

"Totally..."

"Me too..."

Percy tapped his fingers against the table as a nervous habit that Annabeth recognized immediately. "I'm going to get some food," he muttered, standing up from the table. Why was she acting weird? Was it because of her gift for him? If it was as great as Leo made it out to be, he was screwed.

Annabeth only nodded and watched him leave. He was acting so secretive, which made Annabeth nervous. Maybe he was actually planning something super romantic. She couldn't give him a plate of blue cookies if he was going to do something extravagant. Pushing her plate away from her, Annabeth stood up and muttered something about going back to her cabin.

December 25th. 7:02 pm.

Clutching a tiny red box in her clammy hands, Annabeth wished he would get here so she could apologize already for not having an extravagant gift. Playing with her blue sweater dress, the blonde wished there was more time to second guess her gift and start over.

"Merry Christmas, Wise Girl."

Annabeth shivered when she heard him whisper in her ear. She stood up from her seat and turned around to see him standing there timidly. "Merry Christmas, Seaweed Brain." He looked handsome in a long sleeved emerald green shirt and dark jeans, Annabeth noted to herself.

She shoved the small red box into his hands, desperate to get rid of it all ready. Untying the ribbon, Percy opened it and saw a thin orange bracelet. Annabeth smiled shyly and said, "I hope you like it. I made it...its a protection bracelet so that when you're battling all sorts of demons out there, it'll bring you good luck...hopefully anyway."

Percy started laughing when he slipped it on his wrist. A surprised Annabeth wacked him in the shoulder; his laughter ceased immediately. "Why are you laughing?" She asked angrily, crossing her arms over her chest.

Ignoring her question, he smiled boyishly and handed her a small box. Stiffly, the blonde took it and opened it up. Inside the tiny box was an elegant, but simple bracelet of blue shells. "I kind of had the same idea...and I strung together all of the blue shells I could find to remind you of me when we're a part. Hope you don't think it's lame," he said, stuffing his hands into his jean pockets.

Realizing they had the same idea, Annabeth burst into laughter as she slipped on the bracelet. "Percy, I think I love you," she said warmly, but stopped dead in her tracks when she registered what she just said.

She bit her tongue when she couldn't read his face. "I'm sorry. I didn't...I mean, I was just..."

He cupped the back of her neck and pulled her in towards him. Pressing his forehead against hers, Percy whispered breathlessly, "Did you mean it?"

Annabeth swallowed thickly and whispered, "Yes."

He pressed his lips hungrily against hers. Annabeth melted into his desperate, but passionate kiss. Her fingers tugged on his dark black hair as his fingers played with the bottom of her shirt. Pulling away from her, a breathless Percy said, "I love you too."

Wrapped in his arms, Annabeth said with amusement. "I can't believe Hazel was stressing me out about this whole one year anniversary thing."

Percy cocked an eyebrow. "Leo was doing the same thing..."

"You're kidding. Let's promise not to get worked up about this again."

"One condition."

"Name it."

Percy whispered in her ear huskily, "I want to hear those three little words."

"You love me?" She suggested jokingly and started laughing when she heard Percy groan.

"Not exactly what I had in mind," Percy said, playing with her blonde curls.

"I missed you?"

"Annabeth."

"I love you too, Percy."
