Hello again! I'm back! Woohoo! I am currently in the midst of trying to finish the Fellowship of the Ring, so I may not be around as much, but whatever, you've got this!
On with the show...
Disclaimer: Do I own them? I wish.
The first time Percy said those three words, they were Mount Olympus. They had been invited for a party a few weeks after beating Kronos, and Annabeth felt untouchable. She felt amazing, and well, she felt... loved. And she loved him back. When she told him, she could almost feel the euphoria radiating from his smile. Her mother, she was a completely different story.
"Annabeth, could I speak with you for a moment?" Athena said stiffly. She felt Percy tense behind her, and he put a protective hand on her shoulder. Annabeth sighed, and reluctantly followed her mother.
"Yes mother?" she said almost too innocently.
"I'm going to go straight to the point, I don't approve of your relationship with Percy," Athena said giving her daughter a pointed look. She saw Annabeth's face fall at those words.
"But mother, I love him and he loves me, and I don't care about your feud with his father, but you've got to get over it, what Percy and I have is real. I feel complete when I'm with him, and I love him so much..." she trailed off as her mother sighed.
"If you really love him, I won't stop you. I want to see you happy, and he clearly makes you happy so I suppose, I approve," she smiled at her daughter, and wrapped her arms around her daughter, embracing her.
Annabeth ran back to Percy and immediately wrapped her arms around his neck and gave him a passionate and loving kiss right in front all of the Gods, including Poseidon and Athena. Percy was almost knocked off of his feet in attempt to control Annabeth's sudden rush of emotions.
"Annabeth, I'm so glad you were the one I woke up to almost 5 years ago, that feels like such a long time ago now though," Percy whispered into her hair, "I love you."
"I love you too, Percy Jackson," and with that, they joined hands and strode over to the elevator. They didn't say a word the whole ride down, they just looked at each other, completely speechless.
When they got back to camp, after an uncomfortable cab ride, they grabbed a blanket and ran down to the beach, where they watched the sun set, and waited for the first star to appear in the darkness. Annabeth saw a shooting star, but she didn't feel the need to make a wish, her life was perfect.
Please take the time to review, it makes my day to get those e-mails :)
