The one and a half hour ride to the Jackson's house was so awkward. The fact that I was staying over because it would be too late to drive back just made everything better. (Hint sarcasm) The car was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop, like literally. Percy was staring out of the window, deep in thought which was something he didn't do often. The radio was playing softly but I didn't recognize the song.

"So…" Sally said, trying to start a conversation. "What do you guys want for dinner?"

"Something blue." Percy said.

"Okay… Annabeth?"

"I don't care." I said looking out of my window. What was this awkwardness?! Finally ten minutes later a song I knew came on and Percy and I looked at each other. He grinned as he took a deep breath to start singing.

"Making my way downtown, walking fast faces past and I'm homebound." I laughed as Percy pretended to play the small piano solo. "Staring blankly ahead just making my way, making my way through the crowd. And I need you. And I miss you. And now I won-der." We sang. "If I could fall into the sky, do you think time could pass me by? Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles if I could just see you… tonight." I laughed again as Percy struck dramatic poses and just like that the awkwardness was gone. Sally turned around and took a picture of us with her phone, then turned back around and started texting rapidly. The car ride pretty much continued like that, with Percy and I blasting karaoke songs and Sally snapping quick pictures. Paul just drove.

When we got to the Jackson's house Percy practically ripped the front door off, claiming his bladder was about to burst. Sally rolled her eyes as we followed him inside.

"Annabeth honey, would you like something to drink?" Sally asked me when we walked into the kitchen.

"Yes please." I answered as Percy entered the kitchen.

"Annabethhhhh." He said in a whiney voice.

"Percyyyyy." I said back.

"Follow me." He said, so I did. We walked into his room. He walked to his closet and grabbed a sweater and sweatpants. "Here." He said as he threw them at me.

"Why?" I asked.

"Cause you're wet." He said like it was obvious and it kind of was.

"Right. I'm going to take a shower first though." I said, walking out of his room.

"Not if I get there first!" Percy yelled behind me.

"You won't." I said while walking into the bathroom and locking the door.

"Dang it, Annabeth!" I heard Percy yell from outside the bathroom.

"Sorry not sorry." I yelled back.

"Rude."

"Whatever." I said as I took off my clothes and stepped into the shower. As the water cascaded over me I started to hum Save It for a Rainy Day by the Jayhawks. I don't know I just love that song.

After the shower I quickly dried off and changed into Percy's clothes. I started to wring out my hair when Percy banged on the door.

"Come on, Wise Girl! Other people want to shower too!"

"Calm down Seaweed Brain. I'm almost done." I wrung out the last drops of water from my hair and unlocked the door, knowing that my hair would be tangled even if I put it up so I just left it down.

"Took long enough." Percy said when the door swung open. I just stuck my tong out and passed him to walk into the living room. I sat down on the couch and grabbed my phone. About a half an hour later I got a text from Percy. I opened it. It was a picture of me on my phone and it was taken from behind. I rolled my eyes and turned around to find Percy grinning at me. I sighed and turned back around as he jumped over the couch and plopped down next to me. He loosely put an arm around my shoulders.

"You know," he said, "You don't look half bad in my clothes."

"Well obviously." I said. "I look amazing in everything."

"True." He said as we laughed. I heard the click of a camera and I turned my head slightly to find Sally holding up a camera. I immediately blushed and Percy glared. Sally quickly excited the room. Percy reached over me to grab the TV remote and started flipping through the channels with one arm still around my shoulders. He finally settled on the Disney movie Hercules and laughed every time I commented about how inaccurate this movie was.

"I mean they're practically lying to little kids. They'll go into high school thinking that Hera was Hercules' mom and that she was nice. I mean seriously how do come up with this stuff?" I ranted.

"How do you know what Hera's like?" Percy asked smiling.

"She shoved her son off of Olympus. I'm pretty sure she's evil."

"Good point."

"Hey kids," I turned my head to look at Sally. "Pizza?"

"Sure." I said. And Percy just nodded his head while turning back to the movie. I'm not proud to say I lost it when Hades released the Titans from their cages.

"Are you kidding me?" I yelled. "What even is that? That does not look like a Titan and why would Hades even release the Titans? Okay Disney officially sucks at Greek Mythology." At this point there were tears in Percy's eyes from laughing so hard.

"Oh my gods this is golden!" he yelled doubling over.

"Shut up." I punched his arm. He didn't shut up if you were wondering. Well that is until the doorbell rang. "I'll get it." I said.

"I'll get the money." Percy said. I walked to the door and opened it to find a teenage guy holding three pizza boxes.

"Hi." I said.

"Hey." he said as his eyes scanned my body, lingering on some very inappropriate parts. I instinctively crossed my arms over my chest when his eyes stopped there. I felt Percy stand behind me and I almost screamed in relief. He put am arm around my waist as if to tell the guy to back off. The guy glared at Percy but didn't back off.

"So you got a boyfriend?"

"I-" I started but Percy interrupted me.

"Yes she does. Now please give us our pizza and leave." He said as he handed the guy money. "You can keep the change." The guy wrote something on a piece of paper quickly as I grabbed the pizza but before I could retract my hands he put the piece of paper in them. Then he turned around and left. Percy closed the door and I opened the piece of paper.

Call me if you get tired of the buzzkill.

It said with a number scribbled on it. Percy read it over my shoulder.

"Are you serious?" he said. "I have half a mind to go over there and-"

"Percy." I put my hand on his chest. "Watch this." I crumpled up the piece of paper and threw it in the trash can. "Now let's eat some pizza."

"Fine." Percy huffed. We walked into the kitchen and grabbed some pizza. Paul and Sally were going to eat in the kitchen so Percy and I went back into the living room. "Whadda you want to watch?" Percy asked with his mouth already full of pizza.

"I dunno." I said. He flipped to the channels until landing on Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. He raised his eyebrows questioningly and I shrugged while taking a bite out of my own pizza. After 50 minutes my eyes started to droop and I yawned. I involuntarily let my fall on Percy's shoulder and he put his arm around my waist and lifted me up to put me on his lap. I snuggled closer to him and he squeezed my waist.

"Goodnight Wise Girl." He whispered in my ear as I fell asleep.

~o0o~

I didn't wake up on the couch but in a bed, Percy's bed to be exact. And Percy was also in the bed. My back was pressed against his chest. One of his arms was serving as a pillow for my head and the hung loosely around my waist. He was obviously awake considering that one of his hands was playing with my curls. I slowly turned around in his arms and he smiled a little sleepily.

"Good morning." He said.

"Morning." I said back. I quickly realized he was shirtless and I did my best to fight down a blush that was creeping up my neck.

"I think mom's making waffles." He said.

"Blue?"

"What else is there?" he grinned and jumped out of the bed. "Come on Wise Girl!" I rolled my eyes and followed him. We walked into the kitchen and sure enough Sally was there making waffles and they were blue.

"Impressive." I said as Percy smirked at me. We sat at the table and Sally put a plate of waffles in front of us.

"Enjoy you two!" she said a little too cheerily. I looked down at my plate to see that the waffles were not the standard square shape, but in the form of hearts wit on it. I gaped at the waffles.

"Mooooooom." Percy whined. "Why do you do this?"

"I don't know what you're talking about sweaty." She said from in the kitchen.

"I'm still gonna eat them just so you know." He yelled at her.

"Mmhmm." She said. I sighed as Percy started stuffing his face. I looked down at my waffle one more time before smothering it in syrup and taking a bite.

~o0o~

"So, what do you want to do?" Percy asked after we finished eating.

"I don't know. Wasn't it supposed to be super cold today?"

"Yeah like, freezing."

"How about… Ice skating?" I asked.

"Sure." He said. "Let's go. Mom we're leaving."

"Okay, honey. Have fun!"

We put on our coats and walked outside to his car.

"Wanna stop by your place to pick up some clothes?" he asked.

"Yeah." I said. When we got to my house I ran inside and put on some warm clothes. I grabbed my gloves and some money and was out the door. "Let's go." I said when got back in the car.

"Okidoki." Percy said while pulling out of my driveway. Twenty minutes later Percy pulled into the driveway of an Ice skating rink. We had a race to see who could get inside first. Percy won. When we got to the counter we got our shoes and spent a good five minutes arguing about who would pay and I eventually gave in and let Percy be a gentleman. We sat down and laced up our skates before getting on the ice. Now I'll be honest, I'd never ice skated before. But how hard could it be? Well I soon figured out it was very hard. Percy, of course, was a natural. He got on the ice right away and had already done a whole lap by the time I had steadied myself enough to get on the ice. I clung to the side of the rink for dear life.

"What's wrong Wise Girl? You look like you've never skated before." He said. I smiled sheepishly at him and he gaped at me. "You've never skated before?"

"Well, I'm sorry that I have better things to do than this." I snapped.

"You know it's not that hard." He said. I scoffed.

"For you maybe."

"Come on." He held out his hand and I took it. He then grabbed the other one too and started skating backwards in front of me, telling me how to move my feet. After a while I actually got it and he let go. I laughed as I skated around the rink without help.

"I'm doing it!" I yelled. Percy grinned and gave me a thumbs up. I skated over to Percy. "This is fun."

"Yeah I agree." He said. He opened his mouth to say something else but he was cut off by an alarm.

"What's that?" I asked.

"Watch." He pointed up and suddenly I felt something cold and wet on my face. I looked up to find that they somehow managed to make it snow inside.

"Wow." I said.

"Yeah it's pretty cool." He said before skating off again. I followed him. We were skating side by side when it happened. I slipped. Percy tried to catch me but I had too much momentum and we fell. I landed on Percy's chest and he quickly put his hands on my waist to steady me. I looked up at Percy and only then did I realize how close our faces were. I looked into his eyes and my breath caught into my throat. Were they always that green? The snow hadn't stopped and we were now both covered in snow. He, not so secretly looked at my lips which of course led me to look at his. This time when he leaned in, there wasn't an annoying man with a loud radio or a fangirling Sally. Just us. Our noses brushed and he hesitated, as if waiting for approval. I rolled my eyes before firmly pressing my lips to his. My brain was working overtime buzzing with thoughts but I pushed them away. Percy moved his hand to my face and rubbed my cheek with his thumb. I was gripping his jacket with both hands. He moved his hand from my cheek to my hair. The kiss seemed to last forever and I wanted it to. I wanted it to.

~o0o~

I walked into the classroom with Thalia, thankful that Percy didn't take this class. As I made my way to the back of the class people stared at me and whispered. Thalia growled at them and glared. I sat down in the back of the class with Thalia sitting beside me. I stared blankly ahead and almost missed Piper crouching in front of me.

"Annabeth are you Okay?" she asked concerned. I didn't answer.

"No." Thalia answered for me. "She's not." Piper gave me a sad look and sat down next to Thalia. The rest of class dragged on and I didn't get any of what was going on. When the bell rang I grabbed my stuff and ran out of class. I was almost at my locker when I bumped into someone and fell to the ground. I looked up into Percy's sea green eyes and felt tears welling up in my eyes.

"Annabeth," he started but I picked up my stuff and ran. Away from Percy. Away from the posters. And away from the school.

~o0o~

Yay Percabeth! Thanks for the reviews and that's a yes to fangirl Sally
