Just a Walk
It's just a walk! Percy thought as he walked with Annabeth. She smiled as she explained about how she made Olympus. He was very aware of her hand brushing against his. She didn't stop until they reached his car.
"To the beach?" He asked. She smiled and nodded. He opened the door for her, and she stepped in. He walked to the other side and climbing in the car. He gripped the wheel and she put her hand over his.
"Not so tight, you'll break it." She said. He chuckled, and she removed her hand.
"Percy, did you ever think that, maybe…we being friends…are..like…not enough?"
She muttered. Percy paled and looked away. He had. Every single day. But he wasn't gonna tell her that. She looked away, embarrassed she said that. They reached the beach, and Percy hopped out, followed by Annabeth. He sighed, and they sat down on the beach shore.
"Annabeth, about that…" She blushed.
"It was a stupid, spur-of-the-moment ADHD thing." She said. He nodded slowly. She sighed and stood up. She offered her hand, and he took it. They met eyes, and her hands laced into his. She didn't say anything, her eyes were sad.
"We can try, if you want to." He muttered. Her mouth slowly build into a smile. He smiled back. She leaned forward, and he took the hint and leaned in too. When they were just a short distance from each other, she whispered,
"Are we?" He smiled, then said,
"Does this answer your question?"
He leaned in and kissed her. When they finally pulled apart, She smiled at him. Just a walk. He went for a walk, now he had Annabeth. Annabeth. He smiled at his joy. She looked away, and was about to leave, when he grabbed her arm.
"Percy, the car." She said.
"Can wait." He answered. "It's not going anywhere." She laughed, then pointed to the running car, no rolling down a hill. Percy yelped and ran after it. Annabeth laughed and followed him. She watched his fumble with the car door, and mutter a few curses. She smiled. Seaweed Brain. Her Seaweed Brain.
