Hey, guys. Thanks to those who favorited and followed and reviewed; it's all very much appreciated(:

A special thanks to alien r who gave me multiple suggestions to think about, and one of their suggestions is where most of this chapter came from! So, thank you!

This chapter is called Fragile, and it takes place during the summer after the Titan War. (Percy and Annabeth are already together.) Enjoy!

Disclaimer: I'm pretty sure I'm not a guy, so I'm pretty sure I don't own Percy Jackson...

Fragile

Chapter 2

For the first few months of their relationship, both Percy and Annabeth were terrified.

It takes a lot for either one of them to be terrified, but they both were for sure.

Of screwing up.

Neither one had ever been in a relationship before, so they had little to no idea what to do or what to expect.

Heck, it took Percy four years to finally get the hint that he and Annabeth liked each other. And it was so obvious too. Everyone saw that those two definitely had feelings for one another.

Percy was such a kelp head, but that's why Annabeth liked him. He wasn't like those usual perverted teenage boys who wanted any girl they could get.

Annabeth still couldn't believe Percy liked her. She was terrified of doing the simplest mistake and having their relationship go down the drain. It didn't take much to screw up a relationship from what Annabeth had seen.

Meanwhile, Percy was even more mystified as to why Annabeth had ever accepted to be his girlfriend. Percy felt Annabeth was way too good for him, but apparently not.

Their relationship seemed so fragile. Like the slightest crack could make it all fall apart.

But both Percy and Annabeth should have known better. What they had been through together over the years proved they were perfect for one another. Percy would willingly sacrifice himself to save Annabeth, and Annabeth would gladly do the same for Percy; they had each proved that point.

One of the biggest things Percy was worried about, no matter how silly it may sound, was kissing.

He was scared he would push too much and end up pushing her away. Of course, Percy would never force Annabeth to do anything she didn't want to do. But at the same time, Percy knew they were both hormonal teenagers that could easily get carried away.

When he embarrassingly expressed his thoughts to Annabeth one day after they had been dating for several months, Annabeth simply laughed and brushed off the concern.

"Believe me, Percy, I would let you know if I was uncomfortable," She had said.

And she proved this statement a few weeks later when their goofing off (not in that way) in Percy's cabin had turned into more...kissing.

They were both sprawled out on Percy's bed and when Percy had gotten a little caught up in the moment, his hands had wandered even more than usual.

Annabeth pulled away. "Percy," she sighed.

Percy pulled back too, blushing. "Oh gods, I'm sorry, Annabeth. I was being dumb and-"

Annabeth placed a finger on his lips to silence him. "Percy, I don't care. You were fine," she said.

He ran a hand through his hair. "Then what's wrong?" he asked.

Annabeth reached up and tangled her hands in his hair once more, placed her hands in his unruly black hair, and placed her lips at Percy's ear before saying, "I was going to say, that I'm really hungry."

Percy laughed and pecked her softly on the lips one more time. "Well, then, what are we waiting for? Come on, it's almost dinner time anyways," he said before grabbing her hand and pulling her out the door.

Wow, that's short. Sorry 'bout that. I wrote it yesterday when I was trying to watch TV.

So, yeah, I'm not sure I like it very much...Oh, well.

I'm not sure what the next chapter will be, maybe angsty or something, but we'll see.

Peace out, suckas, wahaa. (Sonny With A Chance, anyone?)
