Annabeth's POV:
Ω6.27.17Ω
Dad allowed me to move back to New York. A year ago, he took us to California for some job that didn't work out. California wasn't that bad but I missed New York. Even if I was born in San Francisco, New York is the place I would call home. I decided to come back for senior year. My dad and I are still very distant but he rented a room in a house and said I have a roommate about my age. He didn't go into detail but I at least expected my roommate to be a girl…
"Annabeth? What are you doing here?"
"My dad rented a room here for me… What are you doing here?" I asked, looking him up and down as he was leaning on the doorframe in his pajamas.
"I live here…"
"Great, are you going to let me in, or am I going to have to just stand here?" I asked, getting impatient. What are the chances of me and Percy becoming roommates?
Then, he shut the door in my face.
"Percy!"
I shouted. I took out my phone and was about to call him when the door swung
open and he said, "Come in" while breathing heavily.
I looked at him and saw that he changed his clothes into a pair of basketball shorts and a blue t-shirt.
"What did you do, run a marathon?"
"Not exactly…"
I looked around the house and saw it neater than I expected. It was like the cookie monster just blew up in here, it was all blue, but I guess it worked. The living room was the only one with specks of grey, and a HD 60" TV.
"Aren't you a celebrity? How did I become your roommate?" I asked
"I'll bet dad had something to do with it…" he mumbled.
"So, where are the bodyguards and all that?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.
"I don't have bodyguards."
"Probably not famous enough for one." I said, smirking.
"I'm famous enough to get you on the news with one simple action." he smirked back that adorable smirk that I fell in love with.
"Which is?" I questioned.
"So, your room is upstairs, follow me." he said, changing the subject.
I followed Percy, carrying my luggage up the stairs. Percy opened the door to the left, leading into a simple grey room. It had a huge window, under it was a bed. It was a queen sized bed with drawers built in. There was another door, probably to the bathroom. Luckily, it had a computer desk with a bunch of drawers. I put my luggage on the floor.
"You don't mind waking up to music, right?" Percy asked from the doorway.
"Depends on the songs." I answered. "But no One Direction."
"Of course not." He said, rolling his eyes. "Welcome to your new home."
Percy and my relationship got better over the years though we weren't completely healed but we were progressing and we were only friends, nothing more.
I nodded, "Alright. I'm going to unpack my things now." I said awkwardly.
"You need help?"
I immediately shook my head, "Nope"
This made Percy suspicious, "Are you hiding something? Illegal drugs? Memes?"
"Do you want to see me fold my undergarments?" I said, rolling my eyes.
"If you're in them." Percy smirked.
"Just get out, you perv." I said, shoving him out the door as my face started to heat up.
Ω
After I finished folding and putting my clothes in the correct place, I took out a book. Not looking at the time, I started reading. Probably after an hour or so passed, I heard a knock on the door.
"Yeah?
What's up, Percy?" I asked, putting my book down.
"It's getting late, you want something to eat?" He asked.
I glanced over at the time, 7:45. I got up and opened the door, "What are we having?"
"Caviar." He said, sarcastically.
"Really, pretty fancy don't you think?" I said, yawning and stretching my arms.
"We're just having pizza, c'mon."
"Did you-"
"I got you olives, princess." He said, "The blue one is mine."
"Well, that raises questions for the pizza man." I said, ignoring the princess comment.
"Should've seen his face" he said with a grin. "C'mon, it's going to get cold, you know how much I hate cold pizza.
"First one down gets to choose the movie!" Percy exclaimed, racing down.
"Hey! That's not fair!" I said, racing after him.
I got a hold of his shirt, pulling him backwards. But that only resulting in both of us crashing halfway down the stairs.
"Ow!"
Percy groaned, "I think you dislocated my arm."
"Sorry Princess." I said, getting up.
Before I got away, Percy latched onto my hand and pulled me on top of him with full force.
"Not so fast" he whispered while smirking.
My breath hitched at our close proximity, if I leaned down just a little more-
Suddenly, Percy rolled us so he was hovering over me. He smirked, then got up and made a run downstairs. I sat up and stared at the wall for a minutes thinking what just happened?
I went down, and found Percy with his feet on the couch, stuffing his face with blue
pizza, and The Lion King on TV.
"Seriously?"
I asked, "What happened to Finding Nemo?"
"Finding Nemo is for manly people, which you are not."
"Finding Nemo is for four year olds, not teenagers."
"Excuses, excuses" Percy grinned.
I rolled my eyes, "Move over."
"Magic word?"
"Move or get hurt"
"That's not very nice"
"Please" I grumbled.
He grinned and got his feet off the couch. I sat down, taking a slice of pizza.
"Drinks?" I asked.
"In the fridge. Here, I'll get it." He offered.
As soon as he left, I had gotten a text from Thalia.
T: hi Annie
A: Hey Thals, what's up?
T: nm, wht about u??
A: Well, Percy's my roommate…
T: WHT?! How did tht happen?
A: Umm… Long story…
T: Wht r u doing now?
A: Dinner/ pizza… and The Lion King
Percy came back with blue cokes. He looked at my phone and raised an eyebrow. "Who's
that?" He sipped his coke, "Your boyfriend?"
"Yes"
He started choking on his coke.
"His
name is Thalia" I grinned.
"Not funny" he grumbled
"Sort of is" I laughed, patting his back as he coughed.
Ω
I started to get sleepy as Nala and Simba had their reunion.
"I can see what's happening"
"What?"
"And they don't have a clue"
"Who?"
"They'll fall in love and here's the bottom line
"Our trio's down to two."
"Oh."
The sweet caress of twilight
There's magic everywhere
And with all this romantic atmosphere
Disaster's in the air
Can you feel the love tonight?
The peace the evening brings
The world for once in perfect harmony
With all its living things
I yawned and leaned my head against Percy's shoulder.
So many things to tell her
But how to make her see
The truth about my past, impossible
She'd turn away from me
I felt my eyes start to droop.
He's holding back, he's hiding
But what, I can't decide
Why won't he be the king I know he is?
The king I see inside?
I slipped out of conciseness.
Can you feel the love tonight?
The peace the evening brings
The world, for once, in perfect harmony
With all its living things
Can you feel the love tonight?
You needn't look too far
Stealing through the night's uncertainties
Love is where they are
And if he feels the love tonight
In the way I do
It's enough for this restless wanderer
Just to be with you
Hello again, it's been a while. Very short chapter...
If you didn't realize, there was a two year time jump at the beginning.
The song was Can You Feel The Love Tonight by Idk, but it's from the movie.
