Differences in kisses - Explained by Percy Jackson

"You did WHAT!?" Annabeth growled, looking murderous. She whirled around and turned to look Percy, arms crossed. They were surrounded by their friends, who stood next to them awkwardly, realising that this was a bad time to be near the couple. Perhaps it was a trick of the light, because Percy swore he saw flames burning in those gray eyes. Sometimes he thought he was immune to her glares, but when those sharp, intelligent eyes locked onto his, he knew he was screwed. Big time. He hid the shivers which ran down his spine while he stood his ground, and faced her looking frustrated.

"Seriously Annabeth? Rachel kissed me" Percy said with a withering look. "Besides, it was before we were dating. It didn't mean anything to me! It was totally platonic."

"Wow Percy, that's a big word. Are you sure you even know what it means?" she said sarcastically. Her usually sweet voice was oddly laced with deadly venom. Percy didn't understand what the big deal was. It was just a kiss. He decided that girls were slightly too confusing to understand. Women - The Biggest Unsolved Mystery to Mankind.

"Wise Girl, I know some words…"

Annabeth laughed, "Tell me, Percy, is there even a platonic way to kiss someone?"

"Certainly Wise Girl. Watch." Percy smirked. Finally a chance to prove her wrong. He grabbed an unsuspecting Piper by the wrist and surprised everyone by kissing her fully on the lips. Piper's eyes widened and she let out a squeak of protest. She sprang apart quickly and battered his hand away, trying to hide the smallest hint of a blush. "That was platonic" he announced, oblivious to the gobsmacked stares he was receiving. Especially how Jason had his hands in clenched in a fist. Or the way Annabeth seemed to glow dangerously, like what a pissed off goddess would normally do. He was unaware that there were two people planning his murder, standing no less than two metres away from him.

Percy then spun around and shoved his girlfriend into the wall despite her protests, and crushed his lips against her soft ones. He ran his fingers through her blonde hair while his other arm wrapped around her waist. He pulled her close to him, and her shirt rode up, exposing a section of her side. Percy took advantage of that and traced mindless patterns on her skin with his fingers. Everyone else in the room turned red. Hazel fanned herself with her hand and awkwardly turned away while Frank hurriedly averted his eyes from the…er…scene. Percy held the kiss until a low moan escaped her lips, much to her embarrassment.

Percy smirked and kissed her jawline. He then planted a series of butterfly kisses, leading up to the side of her face.

"That was romantic…" he breathed in her ear. She shivered at his low voice and before she knew it, she had wrapped her arms around his neck. He let his lips dance across her rosy cheeks, towards her mouth again. He leaned towards her, and he saw how her eyes followed his lips and he grinned. Percy then took a step back from Annabeth and bit back the chuckle that was threatening to escape him. "Can you see the difference? There was a slight change in terms of romanticness wasn't there?"

Annabeth, her face flushed, stood there with a slightly dazed expression on her face, not being able to form a coherent sentence, "Mmmm…Whatever you say Seaweed Brain."

He watched her try to regain her composure (and her dignity) with a smug look on his face. It wasn't everyday he managed to render her speechless. And he knew that the deeply earned satisfaction wouldn't last long, so he enjoyed it as long as possible. He laughed and threw his arms around her and brought her close to him again, in a silent apology.

"Love you Wise Girl," he teased his girlfriend.

"You're such a dork."

After his impromptu demonstration, nobody questioned Percy's knowledge about kisses or his kissing skills.

AN - Something short I came up with. I forgot what the original prompt was, but here it is! They probably were out of character, but I had too much fun with this to care. So please tell me if you liked this and leave a prompt if you have one. I hope you enjoyed this.

Until next time, be safe and stay positive.
