Annabeth wanted to kick herself.

She couldn't believe she didn't run off. Oh, it would've been great to see everyone back at camp, everyone staring at her in awe of what she had done.

But, no, she hadn't done it. She had been to busy staring at Perseus to do so. She kept telling herself that daughters of Athena don't do that, that they are incapable of acting like an Aphrodite girl. However, she was easily lying to herself. She knew she had done it.

Later that day, Perseus entered her room again. He sat comfortably down, and just stared at her for a few moments. Annabeth immediately felt uncomfortable, and snapped at poor Perseus. "What do you want, idiot?"

Percy's eyes twinkled with amusement. "Nothing; I'm just in charge of watching you for the hour."
"You've never watched me before," she pointed out.

Percy shrugged. "I volunteered."

There was a pause. "Then why are you in my room?"
Percy grinned. "Extra security," he explained before chuckling loudly.

His hearty chuckle echoed off the walls, and Annabeth found herself grasping for it's sound, her heart beating faster as it continued. "What's so funny?" she demanded.

"Nothing."

"Then, answer my question."

"I did."

"No, you answered it because you thought that was funny."

"I was being truthful."

"Sure."

"I was!"
"No, I can tell. You weren't."

Percy hardened. "Fine, I'll just leave."

Annabeth shrugged, but, as he got up, she decided to stop him. "Okay, okay, stop. I'm bored as Hades in here. Just, do something so I'm not dying of boredom."

Percy grinned again. "I got just the thing."

He pointed to her cup of water. "Give me it."

She was about to hand it over, but she was met with a genius idea. She leaned over, put it close to his hands, but splashed him in the face.

Percy spit water out of his mouth, and he frowned. "Thanks a lot."

Annabeth smiled. "No problem."

However, Annabeth had misjudged Percy. She knew he was a son of Poseidon, but she had almost completely forgotten his ability over water. So, when she was splashed with water and he became completely dry, she almost screamed at him. "Perseus Jackson," she hissed.

Percy smiled innocently. She, however, smacked him on the face and he backed away. "You'll regret that," she muttered.

Percy looked helplessly at the door, and then back at an angry Annabeth. "Please, Wise Girl, I didn't mean-"

She stiffened. "What did you call me?"

Percy's eyes widened. "Uh, Annabeth…"

Her face scrunched up, her anger momentarily forgotten. "I-I feel like you've called me that before."

Percy nodded slightly. "Yeah, I called you Wise Girl back when we were younger. You called me-"

"Seaweed Brain," she finished for him, staring up at him.

"Yeah, it was this ongoing joke between us."

"I sort of remember."

An awkward silence ensued, and then a drip of water fell on Annabeth's nose. She frowned and remembered that Percy had gotten her all wet.

She approached him and tackled him against the wall. His back hit the concrete, and he groaned. His body slipped slowly to the floor. She reached down to his pant pocket, hoping he was unconscious.

However, his hand whipped out, smashing her fingers to the floor. "Ouch!" she yelped.

He smiled, wagging his finger in front of her face. "Nope, you're not getting out."

When he pulled her hand to the concrete ground, her arm wasn't long enough to stay standing. She fell to the ground, right next to Percy.

His face was inches from hers, and he really wanted to lean in and taste her lips again, after so much time apart. He didn't get the chance to kiss her though, because she did it for him.

She leaned over and smashed her lips against his, and this moment was déjà vu, like it had happened many times before. She knew this taste, she knew it well. Whenever she had nectar or ambrosia, this was, embarrassingly, the taste she always tasted, even though she never knew what the taste even was. Now, she knew.

She pulled away, and his eyes were almost glazed over in pleasure. He looked down at her and a huge smile spread across his face. "What's wrong, Wise Girl?"

She frowned. "W-We've kissed before, haven't we?"

She was afraid.

Wheee! Sorry for the long time between updates, guys. I've been busy, so hopefully this Percabeth moment makes up for it.
