Weird by U.T.F.
Inspired by this quote: "We're all a little weird. And life is a little weird. And when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall into mutually satisfying weirdness—and call it love—true love." ― Robert Fulghum, {True Love} (see, it wasn't Dr. Seuss, unlike what the internet says)
Percy was in the middle of Central Park with Annabeth when he realized their relationship was weird. For example, they'd been a part of four major prophecies, two which might have ended the world if they hadn't done their part. He also discovered he liked her after she got stabbed and baked him a cake for his birthday; on which he thought he was going to die. And the reason that she still loved him after he forgot everything and got kidnapped by her least favorite goddess. Percy was thinking this the whole time Annabeth was dragging on about the difference between Ionic and Corinthian columns. And then it popped out.
"Annabeth, we're a weird couple." Annabeth glared at him. She sat down on a bench nearby, Percy following her.
"And what do you mean by that?"
"We're both weird, I guess, and since I like the weird things about you, and you like the weird things about me, we're a weird couple."
"How exactly am I-" She made quotation marks with an amused look on her face. "Weird?"
"Uh... You love architecture. And I'm not saying that's bad. It's just...not something a lot of people like."
"You talk to fish."
"You talk to owls."
"You tell the worst knock knock jokes." Percy looked at her skeptically.
"What? That's not weird!"
"Um, yes it is. Remember the last one you told me?"
"No... Tell me again?"
Annabeth sighed with a look of what-do-I-see-in-him-? and answered him.
"Knock knock. Who's there? Owl. Owl who? Owl always love you."
Percy about laughed his guts out.
"I-...said that?" Annabeth smirked and nodded.
"Okay, I guess that is a weird habit of mine. But I think your lectures are weirder."
"You keep a hellhound as a pet!"
"Uh... You win." Annabeth rolled her eyes. Percy had an eureka moment.
"You roll your eyes too much. They're going to get stuck!"
She rolled her eyes again, and started into a lecture about how that would never happen. Percy half listened, thinking, So maybe weirdness is a part of love...
