25. Trouble Lurking
A/N: I'm officially 1/4 of the way done with these! At this rate I won't be done till like, December...
Oh, and, well... this one is kinda suggestive, but it's nothing too too bad. It's just my usual perverted-humor thing.
Dedication goes to all the Directioneers out there :)
Disclaimer: I obviously own PJO. I also have nine penguins, two Jacuzzis, an orange mustache, and I'm part of VFD. ...*the world is quiet here. * (Dedication goes to whoever knows where that's from!)
"That awkward moment when everyone is silent just waiting for someone to say, 'awkward.'"-- Anonymous
Annabeth's POV
"Percy..." I warned. "Hand me my knife."
"What? Why? Annabeth, I don't even know where it is," Percy groaned. I looked over at him. We were sitting on his bed in his cabin back at camp. Pillows were strewn across the room and he was shirtless due to our... um, previous activities. His hair was ruffled and his face flushed- I could only imagine what I looked like.
"Then give me Riptide," I said, voice tense.
"Why...?" he asked, clearly not getting it. With a quick jerk of the head, I tried to get him to look in the far corner of his room. It was late, sometime close to midnight, and the cabin was only lit by the fluorescent glow of his lamp. Moonlight seeped in through the windows, but shadows thrived in the crevices where no light reached. And in the farthest corner, the shadow seemed to be... moving.
Fortunately, Percy got the message. Unfortunately, he took it upon himself to investigate. Slowly, he crawled off the bed and approached the wall, muscles tense. He raised Riptide so it was reflecting some of the faint light into the shadow.
That's when everything went wrong.
All of a sudden, a certain six demigods came crashing into the room, burying Percy. First came Leo, looking completely shocked. Then came Frank and Hazel who were in mid-laugh, as well as a flushed Jason and Piper. I vaguely remembered that they had all decided to visit Camp Half-Blood for a few weeks over the summer now that everything had calmed down. Finally, Nico came spilling into the cabin, completely passed out.
Everyone just stood there, hands rubbing necks and eyes trained on the floor.
"Awkward..." Leo said in a singsong voice. That's all it took for me to completely explode.
"What the Hades were you guys doing?" I screeched, my face burning red, whether from anger or embarrassment, I'll never know.
The group muttered embarrassed apologizes and smart remarks, but they were all drowned out by my ranting.
"Can't we have any alone time? Gods... Jason, don't look at me like that. It's not like you haven't gone all the way with Beauty Queen before," at this, both their faces turned an even brighter shade of red. "And so help me Leo, if you say one thing-"
"Annabeth, where are your pants?" Piper asked from behind her hands, stifling a giggle. I looked down. Crap.
"Hmm... 'I heart New York' ones... good one, Perce," Leo grinned, wiggling his eyebrows. Percy flushed again from his spot across the room.
"Thanks," he said. "I heard Reyna got a new-"
I let out a frustrated groan. "Stop it!" I screamed. "What were you guys even doing?"
"Pfft, we were so not just spying on you through shadow-traveling," Hazel breathed, sarcasm dripping off her words.
"Wha...?" Nico muttered, still half-passed out on the floor.
"For how long?" I gulped, feeling the familiar heat creep up my neck.
"Long enough," Frank commented, looking anywhere but at me or Percy.
"And man, was it gettin' hot and heavy in here!" Leo exclaimed earning a piercing glare via Percy and me.
"Just... leave. Before I gut all of you," I said through gritted teeth. Nobody moved.
"Leave. Now," I ordered, my eyes morphing into stormy gray clouds like they always do when I get angry.
"Guys, I'm thinking about leaving myself. You might want to go," Percy advised. This time, there was a mad rush to the door, but before they could leave Leo shouted back,
"Don't knock 'er up too much, Perce!"
"Uhg!" I shouted, slamming the door. "Will we ever get any privacy?"
"Well, we have some now," Percy said seductively. He walked over to me and pushed me against the wall, pinning my hands above my head. He leaned down and kissed me passionately.
We had only been kissing for about five minutes or so when we heard a whimper from the other side of the room. In the back of my mind, I remembered everyone leaving, except for...
"NICO!" I yelled, pushing Percy off me.
"Please," he moaned, eyed hidden behind his hands. "Make it stop."
"Get. Out. Of. Here!" I accented every word with a kick. Nico finally came to his senses, shot up from his spot on the floor and ran out of the cabin.
"See, Percy? No privacy whatsoever," I huffed, sitting back down on his bed.
"I guess," he whispered, sitting down next to me. "So, what do you want to do now?" My breathing hitched at his hot breath on my neck.
"I dunno," I said. He leaned into kiss me again, but before he could I put a finger to his lips.
"Gimmie a sec," I said. His expression took on one of confusion when I got up and started doing a thorough inspection of his cabin.
"What were you..." he trailed off.
"Just making sure there was no more trouble lurking in the shadows," I joked, coming back towards him. "Now, where were we?"
A/N 2: Short, perverted and weird... sorry bout that. I know it was kinda bad, but I just wanted to get it out to you guys. Review?
