A/N: Hey guys! Back again with another cute one! Hope you like it!
She hates him.
His reckless behavior, his cocky smile, his never-ending loyalty. He's like a hurricane, a crazy, unorganized mess that leaves things a disaster.
Like her feelings for example.
The last thing she had expected from life was one Percy Jackson who sauntered into her life and left it an absolute mess. With his annoying smile and sparkling eyes and the way he refuses to leave her even when she yells at him.
See, this is why she hates him.
She's pissed off, at something that she can't really remember anymore, but the feeling's still there and despite the fact that his presence alone is starting to put out the fire she's desperately trying to keep it going.
She wants to be mad, she wants to be pissed, and she's ready for a fucking fight, but Percy Jackson, with his dumb messy hair and seeming calmness is there to dampen her mood.
His hurricane is trying to douse out her fire and she's mad about it.
"What are you even mad about?" he asks calmly, which of course makes her more mad because how dare he have the gall to-
She's not sure.
It was something, she swears it was something.
Percy's phone lights up where it's sitting on the table and a name pops us indicating a text.
Oh yeah, she remembers why she's mad.
Deep down she knows it's stupid, but she's had a rough week and it's accumulated to this moment where that girls name on his phone is the last straw.
She glares at him then turns away.
She's not about to admit that her boss has been a dick all week and it's been building so much that she's now getting jealous on top of it.
He gets up and walks up to her. She can smell the ocean on him and it's calming despite herself. He has always been able to calm her.
It doesn't happen often, because usually he's the one getting into trouble with his anger, though usually it's on monsters. And she's usually calming him.
But this time, it's the reverse and she's not sure she likes it. She keeps her arms crossed even as he wraps his arms around her.
She's trying so hard to keep that little anger flame going but he's enveloped her in a coolness that's making it impossible.
"I love you," he whispers into her hair and immediately all the anger deflates and her shoulders droop. She's exhausted.
Sensing her relax he turns her in his arms to she's facing him.
He has a soft smile on his face and his eyes are full of concern. There's that never-ending loyalty.
He's refusing to let go, and she knows, he's missing out on a game with Jason and Leo right now, but now she's glad he's here.
"Hey beth," he whispers. The only person she'd ever let call her that, and he knows when to use it.
She gives up and presses her face to his neck.
"I love you babe," he says again, pressing a light kiss to her forehead.
She pulls back and looks at her boyfriend who knows her all too well.
"I hate you," she says, with all the love in the world.
He grins because he knows what she means, and she pouts at the action.
"Well, better get used to it now," he taunts, face breaking out into a huge smile now. "There's years more where that came from."
She kisses him. There's years more of that to come too.
A/N: So, what did you think? Just wanted to write a ficlet of how love can diffuse anger. Obviously not all the time, but sometimes when you're angry over little things or just in a bad mood, hearing the right words can make it all go away.
I think there's a good amount of stuff that indicates Annabeth holding Percy back and calming him but not the other way around, so I thought I'd write it.
But yeah, there you have it another cute one.
Please Review! I'd love to hear your thoughts!
And as always, thanks for reading!
See ya! :)
