Dislcaimer: At this point I think it's blatantly obvious I own nothing and it all belongs to Rick Riordan or Lee Brice.

Overuse I love you

She stood at the doorway to her cabin, looking over the mess of books, pencils, blueprints, and other assorted items strewn across the floor. She frowned, glanced behind her, and saw that sure enough Will Solace was on the Aphrodite cabin, inspecting it.

She muttered a Greek curse and strode into the room, trying her hardest to pick up the items that were hers, filing them quickly into the appropriate folders and desk drawers. When she was finished with that, she went for the other books, stacking them as quickly as she could on the shelves. She glanced outside.

Solace was at the Demeter cabin now.

Now Annabeth practically screamed a Greek curse, rushing back into the cabin. She grasped the pencils off the floor, tossing them almost carelessly into the cans that held them. She grabbed the broom next, sweeping as fast as she could to get the dirt and dust and pencil shavings out of the cabin.

"Annabeth, I need your help–"

She spun around so fast the broom made a low arc in the air and clattered to the floor. Her dagger was in her hand in a second, eyes wide and eyebrows low. Percy stood at the door with an amused look, raising an eyebrow and smirking. She threw the dagger onto the bed and bent to pick up the broom to toss it in the closet.

"What do you want, Seaweed Brain?"

"Just to tell you that I love you."

Her hands – which had been straightening up papers – flinched and the papers went everywhere. Her cheeks flamed and she stared back at him. He was flat out smiling though, and then he said, "And I need help with my cabin."

She growled then, tossed a pencil at him, and said, "I'm busy cleaning mine! Get Grover or someone to do it!"

"Okay, but…I love you."

She rolled her eyes.

Later on in the day, he wouldn't stop saying it, not even when she said it back, and they were both laughing by the time he finally said something different.

AN: Say it with me now, "Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww~"

No, really, though, I can see this happening. Annabeth getting stuck with cleaning the cabin because everyone else if off at the training grounds or whatever and then Percy shows up and needs help with his cabin.

Yep.

"Be her best friend,

Tell the truth,

Overuse I love you"

Enjoy~
