She hadn't planned it. She didn't think it was possible. In fact, she didn't even know that she could feel this way about anyone other then Luke...no, that's not right. This feeling was something stronger, and infinitely different. Her own mother didn't really approve of their relationship, even if Percy had saved her godly butt during the battle against Kronos. Actually, he had saved all the gods, but that was beside the point. As far as she was concerned, she didn't really mind feeling this way about Percy. It just felt...different.
And there was always the doubt. That lingering feeling that just wouldn't go away. She had lost a lot of important people in her life, and that was enough. Feeling this strongly for another human being was dangerous; she was putting her heart and soul on the line. And yet...she didn't really mind. Because she knew he was worth it.
Annabeth could take all the teasing that came with being Percy's girlfriend. In a way, it actually made her feel special when one of her friends would make a joke about how long it took for Annabeth to finally realize how much she cared about this certain son of Posiedon. Because even though it took time, it had happened, and there was no way she was ever letting it go.
Of course, in the back of her mind, she knew she would fall for him eventually. She wasn't a child of Athena for nothing. At the time, she was just to blind to see it, being stuck in an infatuation for Luke. But as she spent more and more time with Percy, the bigger her feelings got for him. It had happened so gradually she wasn't even a aware of the feeling she got when she was with him.
And though it took a long time for it to actually happen, she came to one conclusion: The feeling that she felt when she was with seaweed brain could only be one thing - love.
Yep, here it is! Another chapter! You guys know what to do (and if you don't, here's a hint: It starts with R and ends in 'eview). Hope you liked it, and I'll get the next one up as soon as possible!
