We Really Shouldn't

Annabeth was a bit sore, each step she took sent a spike of pain up her legs. She wasn't really injured but her legs still hurt.

The reason lied in a certain son of Poseidon.

It had been a couple of days after she and Percy had decided to bang in cabin three, and she was still feeling the effects of their actions. She didn't really mind though, it had been so long since they had done that.

So far, barely anyone noticed her limp, everyone except Piper, who was currently walking next to her as she walked towards the canoe lake. She had intended to meet up with Percy, mainly just to relax, but the daughter of Aphrodite had taken an interest in her limp.

"You know, the more you try to hide it, the more guilty you look. You realize that, right?" Piper said next to her.

"I'm not hiding anything." Annabeth argued.

A sly grin grew across Piper's face, "That's funny, that's exactly what a person who has something to hide would say."

"Are you a fucking cop or something? Leave me alone!" Annabeth snapped.

The last thing Annabeth wanted was for anyone to find out what she and Percy did behind closed doors. Sure, most couples did what they did, but it was still pretty embarrassing. She and Percy could get downright shameless when it came to sex, going as far as to scream or knock stuff over.

Even their first time wasn't as calm as most people would expect. It was awkward, loud, yet satisfying. Percy had no idea what he was doing but neither did Annabeth so she couldn't be too hard on him. If she was being honest, she'd be more concerned if he actually knew what to do, because that would only mean he wasn't a virgin, and it would've hurt her a lot if she found that out.

Annabeth had every reason to be concerned. She'd heard of people losing their virginities when they were only fourteen, which to her was far too young. She was already pretty hesitant about losing hers when she was sixteen, she couldn't imagine doing that when she was fourteen. She also happened to be pretty angry at Percy when she was that young, she just couldn't see herself having sex with him.

Yet Percy, being the stand-up guy he was, turned down almost every girl who'd tried to do anything funny. Annabeth couldn't help but love him even more for that.

"Damn, girl, it must've been great if you're daydreaming about it!" Piper chuckled next to her.

Annabeth gritted her teeth, she had never wanted to physically harm Piper as much as she did now.

"Can you leave?" Annabeth asked her with a tired tone, "I'm supposed to meet with Percy in a few minutes and unless you want to watch us kiss, you should probably go."

Piper raised her eyebrow, "Is kissing all you're going to do?"

"Leave!" Annabeth snarled.

Piper laughed as she turned and started walking away, she looked over her shoulder and winked at the red-faced daughter of Athena. Annabeth glared daggers at her back.

The sound of someone walking next to her caused her to look over. Percy smiled at her with that crooked grin that she originally found annoying.

"Let me guess, Piper was asking you about what we did?" He asked, wrapping an arm around her shoulders.

"Sort of. She's asking why I'm limping," Annabeth said, leaning into him, "And it's because of you, asshole."

Percy laughed, though she wasn't sure what was so funny. If Chiron or gods forbid, Mr. D found out, they minus well just march up to Hades and ask for him to let them go into Elysium early because she knew their parents would murder them.

Their mortal parents probably wouldn't mind as much but it was their godly parents she was worried about. For some reason, the concept of a daughter of Athena and son of Poseidon being in a loving relationship seemed to be in the realm of impossible to said gods. Poseidon made it quite clear that he didn't want Annabeth 'desecrating' Percy with her Athenian perversions. Meanwhile, Athena just hated Percy's guts.

"So, I'm guessing you're not down for round 2." Percy said as he sat next to her at the end of the docks.

"I'm too sore, Percy." She said.

"More or less than our first time?" He asked.

Annabeth shrugged, she'd been sore for days after their first time. This was similar but it didn't hurt as much.

"Well, if you're not down, we don't have to." He said, giving her a reassuring smile.

Annabeth always liked that about Percy. If he knew she was firmly against having sex, he wouldn't coerce her, instead he gave her time.

"You know, I think we forgot something after we beat Gaea." He said.

Annabeth looked over at him, "What?"

She felt Percy place his hand on the small of her back. She narrowed her eyes at him, what was he trying to get at?

She found out when he pushed her forward, so she fell into the canoe lake. Annabeth let out a shriek as she fell feet-first into the water and sank beneath the waters. The usually calm lake waters were now rippling as she disappeared.

Annabeth looked up, the water made her vision blurry but all she could see was Percy jump into the water after her. She tried to punch him when he sank down next to her but of course, the water made her punch seem like she just tapped him.

Percy formed an air bubble around them. Annabeth grabbed his shirt as she sputtered and coughed. Her blonde hair was soaked and stuck to her face. Her orange shirt was dark thanks to being drenched. Her gray eyes blazed with rage as she glared at him.

"A little warning would've been nice, Seaweed Brain!"

Percy grinned at her, "What's the fun in that?"

Annabeth was breathing heavily while she looked him in the eyes, he had that annoying smirk on again, she couldn't stay mad at him for long.

"Remember last time?" He asked quietly, his smile growing wider.

"You're an idiot." She smiled while wrapping her arms around his neck.

This underwater kiss might not have beaten the first one, but it was pretty damn close.

A/N: I can definitely write about Percabeth's first time. Would you all prefer that to be its own story or as a flashback on this one?
