A/N: Hey guys! Finally back with an on time update :P This one goes out to te amour who wanted something closer to Percabeth. Hope you enjoy!
"Damn, she's hot!" But he knew her when she wasn't, just an angry girl with blonde curly hair who scoffed at him.
"Aww, he's cute!" But she knew him when he wasn't, just a dorky boy who drooled in his sleep and made stupid decisions.
"Woah, how long?" Forever by this point, it feels like they've gone through entire lifetimes together, but it probably started when they were eleven in the back of an old truck with farm animals.
"But…how?" The question of the century.
"I hear they saved each other's lives." They did, over and over. She took a knife for him, he fell into hell for her, but even before that it was as simple as a friend's hand in his as they sailed through the land of the dead. It was stopping a bus and almost dying to not leave her behind.
They were saving each others lives when they were just friends.
"He gave up godhood for her you know." He did. Because he believed things could be better, now wasn't the end all be all. And so, he strove for better. Having her by his side, as something more this time, was better.
Better came in many forms, she was just integral to his.
"They just really love each other." They do. Of course they do. But there are days when frustrations get high, when the butterflies don't flutter. There are days when life gets too busy and sparks of jealousy are felt. When fear runs high and confidence runs low.
Love isn't always enough.
"So how?" It's the commitment. It's the at the end of the day, no matter what, choosing each other. No matter how frustrated, annoyed, busy, or whatever, knowing that she was choosing him and he was choosing her.
It's the scars of knife, the nightmares from hell, that remind them how much they need each other.
And not just need, want.
It's always working for better, hand in hand, side by side, striving for the best.
Together.
It's the give and take and ups and downs of love and relationships that even them, after the quests, and the hardships, and everything else, are not immune too.
They're young, and attractive and have already spent a lifetime together not because they saved each other's lives, not because he gave up godhood, not because they're simply in love.
But because every day they choose each other.
Choose each other to save, to sacrifice, to love.
"They're legends, going down in history." They don't care. All they see is that angry girl and the boy who drooled in his sleep who somehow saved the world. But more importantly, it's grey eyes met green and never looked away.
A/N: So what did you think? So this one was more Percabeth central, but the message is universal. You have to choose love, choose the other person. Relationships require effort, as I've written before, and it's the commitment, the choosing that other person that really keeps them going.
Percy and Annabeth have always chosen each other, and that's what makes them so iconic, and so strong as a couple. That's why I love them so much, and why I choose them to write this drabble series on, they're a good couple to explore the semantics of love with because you know that they'll make it.
I hope you all liked this (and I hope this was satisfying te amour)!
Please Review! I'd love to hear your thoughts on this!
And as always, thanks for reading!
See ya! :)
