Annabeth's POV

As I started regaining consciousness I felt oddly lopsided. One hand was immensely warm; the other was exactly the opposite. At the moment I knew I should have opened my eyes, letting people know I was awake. But I wanted to delve in my own head for a minute.

As I was thinking, I heard a voice get louder.

"Hey Perce!" Grover (I think, shouted.) Percy must have made some hand signal, because Grover immediately quieted down.

"Hey Percy." He whispered.

"Hi Grover." Percy whispered back.

"Dude, she'll wake up. Don't worry." Grover assured him.

"How can I not? She's everything to me." His voice was breaking and I wanted to open my eyes to see if he was crying. Realization struck when what he said finally got to me. I'm everything to him. He means that as a best friend right?

"I see how it is?" Grover sarcastically said.

"Come on man, you know what I mean."

"I know, I know. Here's an idea. Tell her." Grover said.

"No. I mean, I may eventually, but right now I can't, there are too many what ifs." This conversation is really irritating me. What are they talking about?

"You know what's funny?" Percy asked.

"What?" Grover replied.

"How everyone except her know? I mean the Aphrodite girls had predicted this when I got here, but I always thought it was absurd, I mean we're best friends, it's gross to think about your best friend in that way. "I heard a soft chuckling coming from Percy. WHAT ARE THEY TALKING ABOUT?

"Yeah. No offense, but for a daughter of Athena she is pretty clueless." I think Grover just insulted me. When I'm up and about, he's going to be sitting in this bed with a broken leg.

Percy stifles a laugh. "I know, but she's still my wise girl." All of sudden I felt a warm pressure on my lips, it took me a second to figure out that they were Percy's lips. Then as quickly as it was there, they vanished.

I heard a clapping in the background, and realized it was Grover.

"Now if only I could do it when she's awake," Percy said.

"Just do it, don't think, which you excel at."

"She'd probably stab me with her dagger."

"That's why you're invincible, remember."

"She knows my Achilles spot."

"Oh, well now if she ever gets mad at you, she has a really big advantage."

"Grover, shut up there is a reason I told her. I trust her enough to know that she won't kill me in a fit of rage."

"Well that's good then." I decided to stop Percy's worry and wake up. So I made some groaning noises and I shifted in my bed. Both heads snapped towards the bed. I felt a warm hand on my head.

"Annabeth. Are you awake?" I slowly opened my eyes to Percy's head bent over mine, observing every move.

"Yeah." I croaked.

"Grover, can I talk to Annabeth alone?" Percy asked.

"Fine." He left the room muttering something like "Mr. and Mrs. Jackson need some privacy. The magic kiss woke her up." Well that was interesting?

"What happened?" My voice sounded like a frog croak.

"You were dehydrated, you didn't drink water all day and you fainted." While he was talking he quickly let go of my hand.

"Why did you do that?" I demanded, he had fought monsters, defeated Kronos and yet he was embarrassed to hold my hand.

"Do what?" He was so thick headed.

"You let go of my hand." I blushed while saying that, but I needed him to get the clue.

"Okay. . ." He took hold of my hand.

"So what was Grover saying?" I asked ever so casually.

"Oh you know stuff, but none of that is particularly important. How are you feeling?" I have lost my temper for this fool, what does he mean none of it matters. Of course it does!

"What do you mean? Of course it matters. I heard ever word you said!" Percy froze.

"You did?" He asked.

"Did I stutter?" I asked. You could tell from his face that the situation I put him in was immensely awkward.

"So . . ." I knew in his mind he must have been thinking what the Hades do I do now?

I knew I was about to quote a really sappy love story, but I couldn't help it.

"Just kiss me Percy." He leaned over and put his beautiful lips on mine.

I think this is the end of this story, if anyone has any ideas review or PM me! I'll probably start a new story soon, but until then au revoir.
