Just wanted to say a big thank you to all who reviewed! I know I left, and I'm sorry to all who were patient enough to wait. This one isn't all that special ( no, I'm serious. It's really not that great ), just a little thing I made for all you percabeth fans out there ( what do you guys call it? Fluff or whatever? ). So, anyway, here's the next installment!
Annabeth ran up the hill, grinning hugely. Percy was already there waiting for her, a sleigh propped against his leg, a smile adorning his face as he saw her. In the spirit of the season, they decided to go sledding. Although Annabeth wasn't very fond of snow, Percy loved it ( him being the son of Poseidon and all, and since snow is just a frozen form of water, well...you figure it out ). And after much pleading and big, watery green eyes, she finally gave in. And now that they were actually there, she couldn't exactly be mad.
"Hey wise girl," Percy greeted her, pulling her into his chest and nuzzling her hair.
"Seaweed brain," she returned, smiling up at him and placing a kiss on his cheek. Her smile only grew wider as she took notice of the thermos he had tied to the handle of the sleigh. He really had planned this all out. He stepped back and tugged her hand eagerly, pulling her down into his lap as he thumped into the sleigh. He leaned forward, his lips brushing against her ear.
"Ready?"
Annabeth licked her suddenly dry lips and nodded. She felt Percy lean backwards and push. And then they were flying down the hill. She felt Percy mold into her back, using his weight to give them even more momentum. Her mouth opened as a laugh came bubbling up and she leaned forward to, trying to go faster. She felt Percy's chuckle in vibrate through her, as if it was her own.
"Having fun yet?"
"What do you think?"
"Um...that we're going to crash," he guessed, the last part sounding more like a yelp as he looked over her shoulder. She tilted her head, then looked forward. She was so focused on Percy, she didn't even notice that they were heading for a huge snow drift ( no doubt planned by Hera, the demonic goddess that she was. Really, Annabeth wondered why she lived up in Olympus. It was obvious she belonged dead in a ditch, preferably in the underworld, where she couldn't come and seek revenge on Annabeth ).
She felt Percy wrap his arms tightly around her and lean sharply to the left. She moved with him, feeling the sleigh change direction and veer uncontrollably. Annabeth scrunched her eyes shut, expecting to fall off the side instead of the snow drift. And they did ( go figure. Annabeth didn't know why she was expecting some miracle to happen ). She tumbled off, Percy falling with her. They landed in a tangled mess, the sleigh skidding off to the side. She groaned as she opened her eyes, only to see Percy's face right over hers. She blushed, looking away as realized what postition they were in.
Annabeth was not expecting Percy to bury his face in her neck and brush his lips lightly under her ear. Her flushed cheeks turned an even darker shade of red.
"P-percy..."
"What? I couldn't get you're lips, with you turning away and all," he muttered, tone teasing as he moved to nibble her ear instead. She squirmed, not exactly thrilled that Percy had the upper hand, just because they happened to land with him on top. She felt Percy laugh quietly as he placed his cheek against hers.
"I'm just teasing. Really, Annabeth-," he was cut off as Annabeth turned her head slightly, catching his lips with her own. He froze as he felt her mouth move from his lips and down to the hollow of his throat, kissing it softly.
"No fair. Cheater," he said, a blush tinting his cheeks as smiled down at her. She smiled back as he slipped off of her, pulling her to her feet. He gripped her hands as he pressed his lips to her's gently before moving away towards the sleigh. Annabeth smiled to herself, going over the events that had taken place ( maybe it wasn't Hera. It could have just as easily been Aphrodite... ). Maybe snow wasn't all that bad after all...
She was pulled from her thoughts as Percy came and stood next to her, the thermos in hand as he pulled her a cup. She looked at him gratefully as she took it in her hands and sipped it, feeling the warmth spread through her body. She grinned at Percy over the cup and he smiled back.
"So, now that you're rejuvenated, wanna go again?"
"Let's do it," Annabeth said as she handed to cup back to Percy and started her way uphill. And if this time would have a repeat of what happened prior, then she'd do it a thousand times over.
