Annabeth chewed her lip as she read over the email again. She wasn't even paying attention to where she was walking, just letting her feet take her over the concrete campus walkways that crisscrossed the green.
Her father had already responded to her half-effort reply to his email about airplanes. When she had sent it, she wasn't sure he would acknowledge it. He'd ignored other emails before, ones that were much longer than the three words she had sent. That's what had made it—well, not easy, but still possible to send.
The new subject line glared up at her.
From: fchase
To:
Subject: how are you
Annabeth,
How are you going? How are your studies? Do you have any significant person in your life?
Love,
Isi
When he had first started emailing her after she went to live with her mom, he had signed everything "Frederick," or sometimes even just "F." Now he signed everything "Isi," a Finnish endearment for "father" that she had called him when she was little. It almost repelled her in its sentimentality—who was he to call himself that?. He hadn't been her father since she was in high school.
But then again, maybe Hazel and Piper were right. It had been so long, and while not everything he did was forgivable, Annabeth thought she might like to see him at least one more time.
She looked up from her phone to avoid bumping into a group of people walking the opposite way. She swerved, finding herself stepping onto the grass. At this time in the year there were fewer people lounging than there had been earlier in the semester, especially on a day like today, when moisture hung low in the sky and a light drizzle made everything slippery and wet.
Across the grass she saw a lone figure sitting outside, hunched over and alone on a park bench. There was something familiar about them—something about their posture, or perhaps the shaggy black curls that hung wetly around their face. Annabeth found herself walking across the green, ground squelching beneath her.
As she got closer, she recognized who it was. "Leo?" she asked. The person looked up.
For a second, Leo looked just as miserable as he had seemed from across the lawn. But then a smile covered his face and it was like the gloom had never been there at all. "Hey Annabeth."
"What're you doing out here?" Annabeth asked. The other students had the right idea in not staying out here, as Annabeth already felt her shoulders dampening. She noticed that, while Leo had on a black raincoat, his jeans were soaked dark blue in spots.
Leo shrugged, shaking his hair out of his face. It didn't do much good, as it mostly just stuck in thick strands along his forehead and cheekbones. "Just wanted some fresh air, I guess. Needed to be among the nature."
Annabeth looked blankly at the manicured grass and the few shedding trees along the edge of the courtyard. "There are probably better ways to satisfy those urges."
Leo chuckled. "Maybe. But it's not so bad." He frowned, suddenly turning thoughtful. It was an expression Annabeth hadn't yet seen on his face. "I didn't really notice the rain actually."
Annabeth didn't really know what to say. She knew there was more than met the eye here, but it wasn't like they were close or anything. So she just said "I'm not really sure you could consider this rain."
Leo tilted his face up to the grey sky. "But it's too heavy to be mist."
"Drizzle?" Annabeth said at the same time Leo said "Rist."
"What?" Annabeth said, laughing.
"I guess it could be 'main', but that might get confusing," Leo said, scrunching up his eyebrows in fake concentration. He shivered abruptly and looked down at himself, as if he was surprised.
"Let's go inside," Annabeth suggested. She was hesitant to leave Leo alone in the drizzle. "I know a great coffee shop to get out of the…'rist'."
Leo grinned impishly at her and stood up. "Suena Buena." Annabeth looked at him blankly. " Sounds good," he told her, as if she should have known already. "Didn't you take Spanish in high school?"
Annabeth shook her head sheepishly. "I took Latin."
Leo looked at her incredulously and then shook his head. " Latin. I can't believe you."
They continued to talk as they walked down the street. Annabeth was sure that Leo had already guessed that she was taking him to Hazel's coffee shop. As they rounded the corner, he walked in the door without bothering to ask if this was where they were going.
Thankfully, Hazel was working. Annabeth hadn't memorized her work schedule (it was possible that it changed weekly), but she knew that Hazel usually tried to schedule shifts early on Friday afternoons. She was bustling behind the counter, wiping the cappuccino machine clean with a white rag, wearing a thick purple sweater.
Leo went straight to the counter, leaning across it. "Hey Beignet," he sing-songed. Hazel jumped slightly, whipping around.
"Leo!" she said, setting the rag down and pushing him back across the counter. "I thought you had class."
Annabeth looked sharply at Leo, but he just shrugged. "I guess I'm missing it," he said, glancing at the clock hanging above the bar.
Hazel finally seemed to realize Annabeth was there too. "Annabeth," she said happily. She looked between the two of them. "Did you come here together?"
Annabeth nodded as Leo looked back to her as if just remembering she was there.
"Don't worry, bomboncita, she could never replace you," he crooned. Hazel rolled her eyes.
"That's not what I'm worried about. I'm not worried at all," she said, sighing. "What do you want?"
"Surprise me," Leo said. "Something warm."
Hazel looked him over, seeming to just then come to the realization that he was soaking wet. "Leo, how long were you out there?" she asked, leaning over the counter to get a better look at him. His eyes widened and he stepped back. "You're dripping all over my floor."
Annabeth thought that was a bit of an exaggeration, but she did notice how Leo was still slightly shivering, even in the warm coffee shop.
Hazel seemed to notice it as well. "Go sit over there." She motioned to the couches by the fireplace. "Not on the loveseat—Reyna would kill me if we ruined the leather."
Leo stomped over, petulant, shaking his hair out and sitting on a green fabric armchair.
"How long was he out there?" Hazel whispered. Annabeth thought she was talking to herself until she looked up to Annabeth's face.
"I don't know. I just kind of ran into him fifteen minutes ago," she said. "Is he okay?"
Hazel sighed, pulling her hands into the pilled sleeves of her sweater. She leaned against the counter and looked over at Leo, even though it seemed like she was trying not to. He was slicking his wet hair back and looking at his reflection through the screen of his phone. "Yeah—I...I think so. He just gets like this sometimes. Like he's stuck in his head."
Annabeth watched as he made a face at his reflection. "He seems like he's unstuck now."
Hazel watched him until he looked up at them and gave them a thumbs up. She waved and started making a drink. "Yeah, I think so. Thanks for bringing him here though."
"Yeah, of course," Annabeth said. She was glad to know she'd done the right thing. She had felt nervous about bringing him to Hazel—she didn't want to intrude on her while she was at work, but it seemed like Hazel didn't mind. "I'm glad he's…" She was going to say safe, but she wasn't sure if he wasn't safe before. For all she knew, maybe he really had wanted to see the nature.
Hazel seemed to understand what she meant. She put a lid over something with whipped cream and set it to the side. "Do you want anything?" It took Annabeth a second to realize she meant to drink.
"No, actually, I think I'm going to go," she said. She wasn't sure where, but she wanted to let Hazel and Leo have their time alone.
"Okay, well," Hazel said, picking up the drink and moving around the counter. "I'll see you soon then."
Annabeth nodded and Hazel smiled brightly. She walked over to the door as Hazel brought the drink over to Leo, who took it with both hands. He joke-saluted Annabeth as she left and she did it back, feeling silly but fun. She paused under the awning, looking out to the dreariness. She wasn't sure where to go except for the library.
:::
After several hours of studying, and pointedly ignoring her father's email in her inbox, Annabeth packed up her things. The library was mostly deserted; not many people wanted to be inside studying on a Friday night, and Annabeth didn't blame them. She stretched out her sore back, twisting in her seat before getting up and pulling on her coat.
Once she stepped outside the library, darkness and rain greeted her. It seemed that the drizzle from earlier ('rist,' her brain supplied) had intensified, and was now thundering down onto the pavement. Annabeth wished for a raincoat—she really ought to start carrying an umbrella with her more often.
Cursing herself, she ran out from under the building awning and towards the direction of her dorm building. She was soaked almost instantly, the water drenching even through the heavy fabric of her coat, and pulling her curls down her face. She narrowly missed a lamppost—she hadn't thought to turn on her phone flashlight before dashing home. Reaching a road, she briefly checked to see if any cars were coming, not paying mind to the stoplights above her. It was late—late enough to assume the roads would be empty.
The universe, always eager to prove her wrong, did not agree. As she rushed into the street, a car careened around the bend, wheels losing traction and sliding over the wet pavement. The breaks screeched as the driver tried to regain control. Annabeth, stupidly, froze as bright headlights turned towards her, catching on the raindrops in the air and filling her vision with white. Too late, she tried to step back, and despite the driver's valiant effort, the car knocked slightly into Annabeth's legs before coming to a skidding halt.
She stepped back again, heart pounding louder than the rain. She barely even noticed the driver's side door of the old, black car opening as her head was filled with reflections of white and green lights from the wet pavement below her.
" Jesus Christ," the driver spat, coming out of the car so violently it looked like he was throwing himself away from it. "Are you okay?"
Annabeth looked up at him, silhouetted behind the headlights. Still stunned with the thought that she could have died ( but not really because it's not July yet) she hardly registered the familiar voice.
"I mean, to be fair, the light was—" the driver was saying as he stepped around the lights and she finally connected the voice and car in her head. "Annabeth?"
Percy stood in the rain, casting a stark shadow at her feet. He looked sickened and panicked and she realized she should probably say something before he assumed she somehow acquired some brain damage from the accident ( was it an accident? ).
"I'm...okay," she said, sounding uncertain. A throbbing pain was starting to blossom from her legs, where she was sure there would be a lovely bruise the next day, but it was really the shock that had her the most shaken.
Percy seemed to snap out of his daze and rushed forwards, examining her for injuries. "Are you sure? Fuck, for a second there—what are you doing out here?" He was talking so fast that Annabeth could hardly keep up. She took another step back, from him and from the car.
"I'm fine, seriously," she said. "Seriously Percy, stop." He stepped away from her and rubbed the back of his neck nervously and swiped his hand through his sopping hair. Another car moved past them, much more slowly than Percy had been going. "I was just coming from the library. I didn't realize…"
Percy sighed and his shoulders sagged, his nervous energy seeming to leave him all at once to be replaced by weariness. "I'm really sorry," he said.
Annabeth shook her head. "No, don't be. The light was green."
"Can I at least give you a ride back?" Percy offered, pointing back to his blinking car.
"It's really not that far."
"It's fine. I'm not going anywhere anyway."
Annabeth considered for a second, and then realized that every second she spent thinking about it was another second spent in the rain. So instead, she walked over to the passenger side door, opened it, and got in.
After a second, Percy followed her lead, settling into the driver's seat and closing the door beside him. The sharp thundering of the rain dulled against the hood of the car. Annabeth felt closed in, but in a secure way that made her feel safe. The heating relaxed her as she turned the air vents towards her face.
"You smell like coffee," she told Percy as he turned the ignition, without thinking about what a strange thing it was to say. He let the car clear its throat before pressing down on the acceleration. They pulled forward slowly and continued slowly down the road.
"I just got off my shift at Starbucks," he said, staring at the road with a nearly unwavering concentration.
"You got the job?" she asked.
"Yeah, but I've got the graveyard shift."
"It can't be that late," Annabeth said, peering at the clock on the center console. It told her that it was nearly midnight, but she wasn't sure she wanted to believe it.
"It is for coffee," he said. "So, you're gonna have to tell me where to go."
Annabeth stared out at the road and then she stared at Percy. This was a problem she'd been running into every night—going home. At the moment, this car felt much more like home than her lonely dorm room did. So when they got to the intersection where she'd have to tell him to turn right, she instead told him to turn left.
Percy slid the blinker on and then waited until the light was firmly green to turn. Annabeth didn't know where they were going, and she felt somewhat bad tricking Percy into letting her monopolize his time, but she also couldn't help remembering that night at the beach. It had been exactly what she'd needed—to get away. This time, the things she was escaping from were a bit more intangible, but they were there nonetheless.
"Right," she said as Percy rolled to a stop at a stop sign. She stared at his profile as he nodded and kept driving. He glanced over at her and smiled. She smiled back.
It only took him five minutes to guess that she wasn't leading them back to her dorm. "So, where are we going?" he asked, all casual calm. He looked at her and raised an eyebrow. Annabeth blushed.
"I'm not sure yet," she said, crossing her arms over her chest.
Percy leaned over Annabeth's lap, eyes on the road, and tapped the glove compartment. "Check in here."
She popped open the glove box, letting a collection of crumpled receipts and protein bar wrappers fall out. She looked at Percy questioningly.
"The book," he said. She looked back into the compartment, noting that there was in fact a book. She took it out, reading the cover out loud.
"Road Atlas of America," she read, flipping the book in her hands and thumbing the pages. She opened it up to their state, tracing highways until she found where they were.
Percy closed the glove compartment and sat up again, hands tapping on the steering wheel. He turned his face towards her, the street lights illuminating the soft corners of his grin. "Tell me where to go."
:::
Annabeth traced the rivulets of water with her eyes as they trailed down the window. She was still damp, and the car was almost uncomfortably humid. Outside it had stopped raining, although she wasn't sure if it was because it had finally let up, or if they had driven far enough to escape it. It was as dark as it had been when they'd left, the only indication of time being the clock on the dashboard.
She turned to look at Percy, who was humming to a song that wasn't playing. He had turned off the radio earlier, around the same time Annabeth had started to lean her head against the window. It was gratifying to know that he thought she was sleeping—she could much more easily watch him without worry.
His hair had already dried, unlike hers, and was hanging in his eyes. He shook his head ever so often to move it away, but it rarely worked. The muscles in his arms shifted as he moved his shoulders to the beat of silent music and his lips lightly mouthed the lyrics. It was Percy at his most natural, when he didn't think anyone was watching. It might be one of her favorite versions of him.
He glanced her way, catching her eye. Annabeth attempted to move her head, but it was no use. "Like what you see?" he asked. Even though she was no longer looking at his face, she knew he was smirking.
"Everybody watches a trainwreck," she retorted. Percy snorted. "Are you sure you're not too tired?"
He shook his head, but his pinched eyes and dark circles betrayed him. "I'm alright. What about you?"
She shook her head. "I'm fine."
"Do you want to listen to music?" Percy asked her.
She'd been enjoying the silence, but now that he suggested it, she couldn't help wondering what had been playing in his head. "I want to hear what you've been humming to yourself."
Percy's cheeks pinkened and he ducked his head self consciously. It only made Annabeth needle him more, enjoying watching him squirm.
"Okay, fine, but you can't laugh," he said, pulling a CD holder out of the center console. Annabeth raised her eyebrows. The case was worn nearly threadbare, the seams frayed and the silver edges of the CDs poking through their slots. He took out a CD and slid it into the player.
It took Annabeth a second to recognize the song, but when she did, she laughed.
"You said you wouldn't laugh!" Percy complained.
"I made no such promise," Annabeth said. "Carly Rae Jepson—how unexpected."
"It's catchy," Percy said, bobbing his head to the chorus of 'Call Me Maybe.' Annabeth hadn't heard the song since she was maybe twelve years old, but she tried to remember the lyrics.
"Your stare was hrming, hmm jeans, skin was showing…"
Percy cast a surprised look at her sideways before joining in, boldly showing off his knowledge of the lyrics. Annabeth stopped trying to sing along, instead, enjoying watching Percy enjoy himself. She reached over and turned the volume up and Percy banged his hands on the steering wheel.
When the song had finished and Carly began singing the next, slower song on her album, Annabeth turned the volume back down. "I can't believe you're a secret Carly Rae Jepson fan," she said, still laughing.
"It's not a secret," Percy said, panting lightly and grinning widely. He swept a confident hand through his hair. "Besides, what's wrong with Carly Rae Jepson?"
She couldn't think of anything, so she just shrugged. "Nothing, I guess."
Annabeth watched Percy stretch out his arms and shake them out. He glanced her way and she quickly looked away. "Are we still going in the right direction? I made a few executive decisions."
Annabeth hadn't ever really had a plan, but she opened the map book anyways. She watched outside for road signs, squinting in the dark until they passed a freeway exit. Finding it on the map, she nodded. "Yeah, I think we can just keep going on this," she traced her finger inland. "And then maybe get off Exit 83?"
Percy rolled his shoulders, stretching his neck to one side and then the other. Annabeth watched the sinews of his neck, tracing the lines up to his jaw and lips. The car suddenly felt unbearably hot.
"Sure, we can do that," he said, unaware of her gaze. "How're you feeling?"
She tore her eyes away from him, rolling them. "I'm fine. I feel—"
"Tired?" he suggested, and then interrupting himself, remarked, "Hey, look, the rain stopped."
Annabeth rolled down her window and stuck out her hand. He was right, the rain had stopped, and without the water-streaked glass in her way, she could see the clear night sky beyond the clouds. She watched her hand as she moved it in the wind, feeling the chill night air move between her fingers. She flattened it and then turned it, palm facing forward, feeling the drag of air change. It reminded her of flight, of airplanes and birds and places far away from her. It reminded her of freedom.
"I don't feel tired," she said, finally, pulling her hand back into the car. She left the window open. "I feel awake."
:::
They stopped for snacks at a 24-hour truck stop. Annabeth ran in to use the bathroom while Percy inspected the vending machines. She washed her hands and looked at herself in the mirror. Under the flickering fluorescent lights, she looked half-dead, but she couldn't help smiling to herself anyways. Her hair was a frizzy mess (seriously, frizz) and her skin was blotchy and winter-pale, but her eyes were bright. There was something so wild, so irresponsible about running away with Percy on a whim that made her feel completely alive. The liminal space of the truck stop made the rest of the world fade away. The only things that existed were her, in front of this mirror, and Percy, waiting for her outside.
She exited the bathroom into the cool night air. It was refreshingly crisp after the rain, the smell of wet pavement strong in her nose. Percy was there, waiting for her, just as she'd thought. He leaned against a falling apart wooden fence, separating the truck stop from the fields behind it. Annabeth hadn't realized how far out of the city they had driven.
"What did you get?" she asked. Percy rifled through the assortment of snacks in his hands.
"Snickers and Doritos for me," he said, holding them up. "And sour gummy worms and Lays for you."
"Did you get the—"
"Salt and vinegar?" Percy asked, raising an eyebrow and tossing her the bags. She caught them, but just barely. "Yeah. I don't know why you like them though."
"I like the pain," she deadpanned, moving around to her side of the car.
"Masochist," he teased, going over to the driver's side. Before getting in, he stretched his arms over his head and bent down to touch his toes. His shirt rode up, exposing a tan sliver of his torso above the waistband of his jeans. Annabeth swallowed around a lump in her throat and looked away.
"Maybe so," she said. Percy straightened, grinning at her and unlocking the door.
"Are we almost there?" Percy said once they were back on the road.
Annabeth frowned. "Do you need to go back soon?" For a second she couldn't stand the idea of turning back and ending this night with Percy. The thought that in a few hours the sun would rise and bring a new day, filled with old and new expectations and responsibilities and anxieties forced Annabeth awake, only so that she could enjoy every second the night would bring.
"No, no," Percy said quickly. "I'm here all night."
Annabeth untensed. She took out a sour gummy worm and put it in her mouth. "Good."
They drove in silence for another hour. Annabeth watched as the last of the clouds faded into wisps and then nothing, leaving the clear sky. The moon hung like a silver coin above them. She remembered when she was little and used to imagine the moon was following her in the car, protecting her. Tonight it felt like they were the only ones under its soft, pale light.
Annabeth directed Percy through several exits and turn-offs, wondering at the scenery around them as they found themselves on a mountain road. They traveled up, through twisting roads, arteries in the forested landscape. Annabeth's ears popped as they traveled higher, and the autumn deciduous trees turned into evergreen pines.
Somewhere around three in the morning, Percy grew tired of the silence. "So," he said. "Wanna tell me what's up?"
Annabeth sighed. "How do you know something's up?"
Percy shrugged. "I can just tell."
Annabeth looked over at him, where a faint pink was dusting the tops of his cheeks. It used to scare her, how much he seemed to be able to read her. How much he seemed to know her. But now she knew that she probably knew him just as well.
Of course she was faced with the same problem as last time—there was only so much she could tell him. So again, she took the easy route. "I've gotten back in contact with my dad," she said.
Percy whistled. "That's a big deal."
"I know." She looked at herself in the window, seeing as Percy glanced at her in the reflection.
"Any particular reason you're doing this now?" he asked.
Annabeth shook her head. "No," she lied.
Percy glanced at her again and she turned away from the reflection. She could tell he knew there was something more there, but he didn't press.
"You never talk about your mom," he said instead.
Annabeth huffs out a breath. "Don't really have a mom," she said bitterly, knowing as she said it that it wasn't fair. Sure her mom had been mostly absent, but she still helped pay for her food, still let her stay with her for the holidays.
"So, what, storks?" Percy said. Annabeth snorted out a surprised laugh.
"No, I floated down from the sky in a golden basket and landed at my father's doorstep," she said.
"That's really the only way someone like you could be delivered," Percy replied.
Annabeth laughs again, quirking her head. "Someone like me? What do you mean 'someone like me'?"
"I just meant—" Percy cleared his throat. "I mean, so it's not great with your mom either?"
Annabeth sighed, settling back into a more somber mood. "Yeah, you could say that."
"What happened?" he asked.
Annabeth crossed her legs and bit the head off of a gummy worm. "Nothing happened," she said. "That's just how she is."
"And how is she?"
Annabeth tried not to feel irked by the amount of questions Percy was asking. She knew he was only curious and that he was trying to get to know her better, but family had always been a touchy subject and one that she was reluctant to share a lot about.
"Just distant. She works a lot. I spend the holidays with her, but we don't do much else."
"I'm sorry." It's genuine, and why wouldn't it be? That's who Percy was—sincere and full of heart. Part of Annabeth broke open as he looked at her, and she hated how raw her voice sounded when she responded.
"Thank you."
He just nodded and reached for her hand across the center console. He gripped it and Annabeth pretended she couldn't feel the warmth in his touch and his quickened pulse in his wrist.
:::
Annabeth told him to turn off onto a small dirt road after seeing a sign for "Lunar Lake". She hoped her split-second decision (and Percy's swearing as he made a sharp right onto the road) would pay off. The car rumbled along, kicking up dust. Percy wrestled the wheel around turns and Annabeth hung on, feeling slightly motion sick. They drove up and Annabeth kept her eyes peeled over the dash, waiting to spot the promised lake.
Finally, as they rose to the top of a hill, a vast lake spread out in front of them. It glittered with reflected stars, the moon in the center like a big, silver coin, glowing in the ripples of the water. The shore was lined with evergreens and small waves lapped at their roots. The car coughed down into an empty grassy parking lot until Percy turned it off, letting it rest. For a second they sat in silence, staring across the still water until Annabeth broke the silence by opening her door.
She walked up to the edge of the water, feeling the gravelly sand crunch under her shoes. She briefly thought about the fact that she and Percy always seem to end up at beaches, before pushing the thought away when Percy comes to stand beside her.
"It's like standing in the sky," he said, stealing the words from her head. If she focused on the lake and on the sky above, he was right. They were surrounded by stars.
"Double infinity," she said. Percy reached for her hand and squeezed it. Annabeth's heart skipped a beat, but she squeezed back.
Percy spread the beach blanket over the hood of his car, shaking out some of the sand from their previous spontaneous trip ("Beach sand and mountain sand," he said). He helped her climb on top and lean against the glass of the windshield ("Are you sure it's okay?" "It's alright. Blackjack can handle anything.")
They laid next to each other, the sides of their arms pressed close together so that the heat from Percy's body seeped through her thin long-sleeve. It was cold out and even though she had a jacket in the car, Annabeth knew she preferred it this way. Up above, the stars shone brightly, brighter than Annabeth could ever remember seeing.
They were quiet for a minute before Percy said, "My mom used to tell me the stories of the constellations."
"I think you told me about that," Annabeth yawned. She hesitated a second before shifting to settle against his warm chest. He pulled her into him automatically, wrapping an arm around her waist. "Tell me them."
"I don't remember all of them," he admitted.
"That's okay. Just tell me the ones you remember."
Percy began to tell her the story of Perseus and Andromeda (his namesake, apparently). His voice was like warm honey in her ears, and she found herself focusing more on the gentle rumble in his chest and the way his Adam's apple bobbed as he spoke. She already knew all of the stories anyway. Years ago, Thalia had shown her the star charts and maps, had spread them out on the floor of the New York public library, and had told Annabeth all the stories for the constellations she couldn't see under the Manhattan smog. But she knew it made Percy happy to tell her his mother's stories, and she liked to see him happy.
Watching Percy, Annabeth realized she was trying to figure out the moment she had fallen for him. It was a scary thought, but one that was probably inevitable. It had happened slowly and then all at once, like day slipping into night. She realized she was already comfortable in the knowledge of how much she cared about him. She'd been trying to push down her feelings for so long that she'd become familiar friends with them.
This time, it was Annabeth who reached for Percy's hand. As her fingers slipped between his, he stumbled over his words, but kept talking, a smile sliding onto his face.
A/N: Just out of curiosity, how many of you read the first version of this story? How do y'all feel about the changes?
