My Percabeth feels are sooooooo high right now, I just had to update this story.

Annabeth Chase POV

After coming here for a month to tutor Percy, the Jackson residence was becoming quite familiar to me. Mrs. Jackson, or, as she insisted on being called, Sally, was often at home, and often answered the door when I knocked.

"Hey, Sally," I greeted her as I stepped into the apartment.

"Hi, Annabeth," she said. "I'm just heading out for groceries in a few minutes. Percy's in his room, probably listening to music."

"Okay." I headed to Percy's room, and opened the door. He was sprawled on his bed, with earphones in his ears, his eyes closed and his mouth wide open as he snored loudly.

I laughed out loud, and shut the door quickly to save Percy the embarrassment of being discovered by his mother. I set the books down on the table and had the most awesome idea.

Quietly, I took out my phone, switched it on and turned to camera mode. I snapped a picture of the fast-asleep Percy, and quickly sent it to Thalia via Snapchat, adding the caption, Percy Jackson slumbers. Shhh.

I then poked Percy in the belly. Hard.

Percy's eyes flew open and he sat bolt upright. "Where! What! How! Why!" he shouted.

I snapped a picture of him staring frantically into my camera lens, and then doubled over laughing. Percy quickly realized what was going on and tugged the earphones out of his ears. "Annabeth, give me that phone," he threatened me, putting on a mock angry voice.

I held it out of his reach. "Make me," I teased him, waving my phone around.

Too late, I realized that the look on his face meant that he really was going to make me.

He came at me, and I shrieked and tried to run for the door, but Percy blocked it.

"There's no escape," he taunted me, then lunged at me.

I tried to flee, but Percy's strong arms encircled my waist and lifted me clear off the ground. I screamed again, half shrieking and half laughing, and elbowed his face. His legs collapsed, and we fell onto his bed, both of us laughing hysterically.

Our laughter died when we realized how close we were to each other. I lay on my back and Percy was on top of me, his arms propping him up, his face just a few inches with mine. I looked into his gorgeous sea-green eyes and his mess of black hair.

We stayed like that for a few moments.

Then, without warning, Percy leaned in and kissed me. I stiffened, and then relaxed as his lips touched mine. It was soft and gentle at first, but then his kisses became more urgent. I responded just as desperately, seeking his warmth. I entangled my fingers in his hair, and kissed him back. He kissed me and kissed me, and sparks were flying.

When we finally broke apart, we were both breathing heavily. Percy panted, and I felt his warm breath on my face.

"Wow," I said softly. "That was something."

"Yeah," Percy agreed.

Then he sat up. "Okay, I've been meaning to say this for a while now," he said as I sat up too. "And maybe it's a little late, considering that we've now kissed, but Annabeth – I'm crazy about you. I've had a huge crush on you from the night we met, and I've tried to get rid of it, mostly because you had a boyfriend when we met. But now you've broken up with Luke, and I can't hold it in me anymore. I have to ask you."

I held my breath.

"Annabeth, will you be my girlfriend?" Percy asked softly.

There was a pause.

"Yes," I grinned, and threw my arms around his neck and kissed him again.

When we broke apart again, a bit more reluctantly, Percy's green eyes were shining, and he chuckled. "You're really good at that, you know," he told me.

"I know," I said cheerfully. "But – " I pointed at the textbooks. "Just because I'm your girlfriend doesn't mean I'm gonna take it easy on you. You asked me to help you with algebra, and I have every intention of doing so. It's time for work, mister."

Percy held up his hands in surrender, and we got to work on algebra.

Percy Jackson POV

At the end of another fun-filled algebra session, it was time for Annabeth to go. I followed her to the door like I always did, but this time I held her hand as we did, and she didn't object.

My heart was racing, soaring. After months of thinking about this, at last it had come true – Annabeth and I were dating. We were actually in a relationship. My head was spinning. It hadn't even sunk in yet.

My mind flashed back to when I found Annabeth under me on my bed. My heart had begun pounding as I stared into her eyes and felt her warm body beneath mine. And then, out of some primal instinct, I'd leaned forward and kissed her.

I'd expected her to push me away, but much to my delight, she'd responded and kissed me back. And when we'd broken apart, I'd asked her to be my girlfriend – and she had said yes. She actually said yes.

At the door, Annabeth turned to look at me. I tucked a lock of hair behind her ear, and she grinned. "So, you're gonna call me, right, Seaweed Brain?"

"You bet, Wise Girl," I promised her. I leaned forward and pecked her cheek, and she laughed.

"See you," she smiled. "Can't wait."

After she left, I went and stood in my bedroom for about three seconds. Then I let out a triumphant yell and proceeded to parade around the room doing a victory dance. Finally, though, I stopped, and flopped down on my bed, whereupon I began where I'd left off – I resumed my nap. Except this time, my dreams were full of Annabeth, my girlfriend, and her beautiful eyes.

So they're going out at long, long last! Reviews are appreciated...
