a glimmer in the night: Thank you, darling. Multi-ship all the way;)
Ten-Faced: Thank you! ^_^ But MoA will leave you in a puddle of feels on the floor. No lie.
KnivesandPens13: This isn't as romantic as I'd thought it would come out to be...
xLittle Black Star: I mutli-ship in this fandom. I know, I'm terrible. I mean, of course I'm die-hard Percabeth, but. I mean. Come on. This is Percy. He's just so shippable and shit and so is Annabeth just because.
two. this loneliness depresses me
I want to know all of your secrets, he says.
She scowls.

Their relationship is completely platonic—that is a lie. I could lie some more to you but that, of course, is pointless. So I may as well give you the truth.
It starts when a muscular, tall boy—no, I promised that I would not lie; this boy is young and scrawny and ambitious—approaches a girl. The girl is brave and powerful and, of all things, lonely.
Hello, says the ambitious boy who craves power. He supposes it's smart to make friends with a praetor, rather genius—he never thought of being her lover. Not that this girl in particular would ever take one.
.
When the powerful girl starts dating the boy with the high expectations, the scrawny one becomes enraged. I hope he breaks your fragile little heart, he spits in a fit of anger. And yet he wonders why not many people stick around.
.
How do you like it now? the boy asks. Jason is gone. You're stuck with me.
She grumbles, No one said I had to be happy about it.
He takes the girl's jaw with his hand so he can read her eyes. No, he says, they didn't.
He smirks. She scowls.
