Annabeth's POV
This was not what I was expecting. Everything was going fine. Okay, his actions weren't all that much of a surprise because I knew he had a crush. I only suspected it at first, but when he accused Percy of cheating, I knew what he was up to. I know I keep bringing up how he accused Percy of cheating, but Percy would never in a million life times try something like that, especially with Thalia. They're practically cousins! If we used DNA on the godly side, that is. But that would also mean that Percy is my first cousin one removed, and I really don't want to think that.
Anyway, like I said, everything was fine, we were just talking. Then he kissed me. His lips were hard and cold, ruff and persistent. Nothing like Percy's kisses. His were warm and soft and felt like a million volts of electricity were pumping through my veins, forget butterflies, a full orchestra twirled around in my stomach when Percy kisses me. But Brad? More of like all the blood leaves my body making me die a painful death.
I decided to have a bit of fun. Don't stare at me, I was loopy on cough medicine drugs. I pulled his shirt closer to me with my fist. He softly hummed under his breath. It wasn't a make out. It hadn't lasted longer than 3 seconds. He didn't move his hands, which proved either he didn't want to get sick, or he has had no experience. Frankly, when I first met him, I thought he was gay.
Okay sorry, I'm getting off track. Anyway my other hand lay to my side forming a fist.
Then I clocked him. I knew it would leave a nasty bruise as soon as my knuckles connected his jaw. A smug smile drew on my lips. I didn't want to seem so proud of what I did, but I couldn't help it.
It only took a second to realize Percy was standing in the door way with my 'prescriptions'. It was ambrosia. He dropped the bag and gripped Brad by the back of his collar, leading him to the wall on the far side of the room.
NARRATORS POV.
Percy made a fist with his hand and dug his forearm onto Brad's neck, forcefully shoving him against the wall.
"What were you doing." Percy said through gritted teeth. His expression was angry, and slightly annoyed, as if he had to battle the Minotaur again.
"W-what?" Brad asked, clearly confused and disoriented. Having been kissing the supposed girl of his dreams to be punched in the jaw then pinned to the wall by her angry boyfriend.
"I asked you a question. What were you just doing to my girlfriend, I want you to say it." Percy kept his voice angry and intimidating, yet terrifyingly calm.
Annabeth sat crosslegged on the bed. After Percy had pinned Brad she moved and got the bag of ambrosia and was munching on it like popcorn and the scene before her was a show. She was tense, scared her boyfriend might take it to far.
Brad glanced at her, searching for an answer, but she just shrugged. Brad could feel Percy's hot breath on his face, like a reminder he was about to die. "I-I kissed.. her?" He said it like a question. Brad was shaking with anticipation, not the good kind, and fear. Percy tightened his jaw and connected his fist to Brad's face, making everything go black.
"Percy! You could of just bruised him up a bit, why'd you have to knock him out?" She never got an answer, instead she got the greatest kiss she's had in a lifetime. Percy kissed her like he was begging her lips to forget the feeling of Brad's touch on hers, it worked wonders.
She reluctantly pushed him off, to both of their dismay. "Sorry, I can get a little protective. I guess you already knew that, though. Since we've been friends for years, and-"
"It's your fatal flaw, Percy. And its okay. Just, next time, maybe don't knock out the competition with one swing." She cut him off.
"Oh, so now were competing?," He said with a smirk "Huh? Given the fact that he's unconscious, I'm gonna say that I won that competition." He said, the smirk never leaving his face, and his fists pounding the air.
"I think you're forgetting that the unconscious one is still lying on the floor, and Lisa and Charlie could be back any second." As if one queue the door slammed open, hitting the wall with a thud.
"Holy Hephaestus, we got a dead guy on the floor!" Leo was standing their with Piper, they came to visit Annabeth and bring her food. Though he would never admit it, Leo is still afraid of the grey-eyed girl, only a little, though.
"Did you guys think he was a monster or something? Cause, clearly something went wrong." Piper asked.
"Brad kissed Annabeth, now you need to help me hide the body." Percy said as Annabeth swatted his arm.
"He kissed you? I know the rule about not hurting mortals, but I want to send this kid to Tartarus." Piper couldn't take her eyes off Brad, like she was murdering him with her eyes.
"Was he any good in a fight." Leo asked, sitting in the arm chair next to the bed.
"No idea, I knocked him out with the first hit." Percy high fived Leo.
"How are we gonna fix this?" Annabeth asked.
"Easy, I got some shovels we could use." Leo suggested.
"We need to wake him up somehow, before the others get back." Annabeth said, ignoring Leo's comment.
"Just give him some ambrosia." Leo said.
"He's a mortal, he'll burn up." Annabeth mocked.
"Exactly," Leo winked with finger guns.
"Why don't we start with just getting him in the bed, then he can wake up naturally, and hopefully remembers all of this. I don't want him kissing you again." Piper warned.
"You sound like an over protective boyfriend." Annabeth kidded.
"I just don't want anything coming in between my favorite demigod couple," Piper mumbled.
"Beauty Queen, your Aphrodite is showing!" Leo mocked.
"What about Jason, shouldn't you and him be your favorite couple?" Percy asked.
"Yes, but I think he loves you more than me." Piper kidded.
"Jason's my bro!"
"You threw a brick at his head and knocked him out."
"Hey, he never went unconscious." Percy pointed a finger at Piper.
"Let's just get this guy up." Piper muttered. The four of them picked up Brad and carried him to the bed. Annabeth was feeling much better, thanks to the ambrosia. They decided to leave him there to sleep and go get lunch.
"I can't believe he hasn't woken up yet. It was just one punch." Piper wiped her hands on her jeans.
"Actually, to get him off of her Annabeth clocked him." Percy smiled.
"It was fear mixed with adrenaline, plus the impact of the punch in the head, he'll be out for a while, I believe." Annabeth answered.
"Stop being all smarty pants, lets just say he's a weakling and is dead. I like it better that way." Leo said as he drew a fake mustache on Brad's face with a sharpie marker. Everyone knew he shouldn't be doing that, but no one tried to stop him. Once he finished he capped the marker and put it in his tool belt. "Lunch?"
"Lunch."
{LINE BREAK}
The four friends went to a cafe that was fairly close to the hotel. Halfway through, Annabeth got a phone call. After the Giant War, Leo got really busy in the Forges, it was the first time he could actually build and fix things in there, and miraculously found how to fix mortal cellphones without the whole 'monsters radar' thing.
"Hello?" Annabeth shushed everyone at the table.
"Hey, Annabeth, it's me Brad, I just woke up in your bed, and I have no idea what is going on, and my face hurts. Do you remember?"
"Yes, if I can remember correctly, you kissed me, and I know you know about Percy, and how he's my boyfriend."
"He's not good for you Annabeth."
"Will you shut up? Please, it was one thing to accuse him of cheating-"
"WHAT" Percy sat up, but Piper and Leo pulled him down because half the restaurant was staring at them.
"-but you kissed me anyway, then I punched you, and then Percy took his turn and knocked you out. Remember now?" Leo started slow clapping for her. Piper put her hand on Leo's to make him stop.
"I'm not going to give up on you, Annabeth. I will fight Percy, if that is what it takes." He hung up.
"What'd he say?" Piper asked.
"He challenged Percy to a fight over me." Annabeth answered.
"Idiot. He got knocked unconscious after one throw. A full fight? He'll probably die after a few hits. Hades, I could probably beat him." Leo announced.
"I should make a poster." Piper decided.
"Let's just wander around for a bit, I don't feel like talking about this anymore." Annabeth lead them to the sidewalk, after paying, of course.
{LINE BREAK}
A/N/ Do you think Brad will beat Percy in a fight? I had way to much fun with this chapter. I really hope this meets to all your standards.
Btw if youre a sane human then you would never continue hitting someone if they went unconscious, and Percy is protective, but he's a sweetheart, who plays fair. I didn't want him to kill Brad, though that would of been fun.
Fare well and all that demigodlishness.
