A/N: Enjoy!


"Where are we going?" I asked as he locked the front door.

He handed me a helmet and got onto his bike.

I pulled the helmet on and jumped onto the back of the motorcycle.

He revved up the bike and spoke, "You'll see"

I smiled as he sat down and drove off into the sunset.


I griped his torso firmly and leaned into him pressing my body against his as we drove.

Before we knew it we were pulling into what looked like a school lot.

Percy pulled into a parking space and turned off the motorcycle.

He slid off the motorcycle and offered me a hand.

I gratefully took it and slipped the helmet off and laid it on the seat of the motorcycle.

"Shall we?" Percy asked as he offered me a hand.

"We shall" I smiled as I took his hand.

He interlocked it with my own and walked over to a fence.

He let go of my hand for a moment to what looked like pick the lock of the fence.

"Uh Percy?" I asked.

"Yes?" he said still concentrating on the task on hand.

"What are you doing? Are we supposed to be here?" I asked.

We were at an elementary school at night. I doubt we were supposed to be here.

"Just unlocking the fence. Don't worry I do this all the time" he spoke.

I shook my head.

I hope to the gods that we wouldn't get caught.

"Got it!" he yelled triumphantly

He opened the fence and grabbed my hand in the process.

As we walked on the school grounds I noticed a small little playground.

There was a jungle gym that had monkey bars and slides. And those climbing rock walls. And swings all on wooden chips.

How I missed my elementary days, running around care free. Making friends, eating snacks, getting strawberries from running to fast.

I sighed as he led me to the swings.

There were two swings side my side.

I took the one on the left and sat down while Percy mirrored me with the right one.

I shifted a little and began to pump my legs a little to start the movement of the swing.

The sky was now filled with millions of twinkling stars. It was so beautiful. But I had to admit, it was getting kind of chilly.

I slowly began to rub my arms slightly.

"You cold?" Percy asked as he stood up and took a step towards me.

"Uh, I'm fine..." I lied.

Seriously though it was cold as a mother out here.

"Sure you are" Percy said rolling his eyes.

"I am!" I protested.

"Want my jacket?" he asked shrugging off his jacket.

"No, it's fine. You'll probably get cold" I responded.

"Come on don't be stubborn. Take the jacket Chase" Percy smirked.

"No… It's fine. You'll get cold"

"Men don't get cold" Percy smiled as he approached me.

He stopped my swing and placed the jacket around my shoulders.

I rolled my eyes and thanked him. Instead of returning to the other swing he began to push me on my swing. I felt like I was in those sappy romance movies where the two lovers were on a date and the guy pushes the girl and she's all smiling like she's the happiest girl in the world.

Am I like those girls?

I gripped onto the chains as the swing went forward and backwards.

"Percy?" I asked.

"Yes?" he answered pushing me.

What are we? I just wanted to know. I mean, we must have some sort of feelings for each other. Friends or more than friends. What are we doing here? Is this like a romantic moment? Or does he even feel anything that I'm feeling. Which I really don't know what I'm feeling. I know I like him. And I feel like I can trust him. I've known him for quite a while. He's seen me at my best and worst times. Even my most vulnerable moments. He helped me see the alcohol isn't the answer. We have shared so many moments together. So what are we? At least in his eyes. I needed to know.

"Stop" I announced.

"What?" he asked clearly confused.

He stopped the swing and I stood up to face him.

"What are we?" I asked.

"What do you mean?"

"What are we Percy? You know... Like friends or…?"

"Or what?"

"You know what Percy" I said looking into his sea green eyes.

He looked down into my eyes and smiled.

"Anything you want Annabeth" he responded.

"No. Not what I want. I don't know what I want. What do you want Percy? In your eyes what are we?"

"Friends?"

My heart sank a little I felt a little broken.

Friends… That's what we'll always be. I mean, how could he like me. I was his best friends little sister. I guess I was friend zoned from the start.

Percy must have seen the wave of disappointment wash over me because he quickly pulled me in for a hug.

"Annabeth... It's not like that I really do want to be friends. But I don't want to pu-"

"What are you kids doing here!" a voice shouted as Percy was cut off.

A man with a flashlight started coming closer to us.

Percy gripped my hand.

"Run!" he yelled.

OH gods, I thought as we both booked it towards a group of trees that lined the beginning of a forest in the opposite direction of the elementary school.

Footsteps followed behind us and a beam of light.

We ran like there was no tomorrow.

After a while of dodging and weaving through trees we finally stopped.

We hid behind a huge tree.

Percy in front of me with his hand clutching onto mine while he leaned a little forward to see if the man was there.

I heard a sound of crunching leaves and I almost squealed.

But Percy was quick and backed us up into another tree with his hand over my mouth.

"Shhh" he whispered using his other hand to hold a finger to his mouth.

His body was pressed up against me while I was leaned against a tree. We were face to face.

I swear my heart was racing at 1,000 miles per hour. It was thumping so loud that I'm sure the whole world could hear it.

I stayed still and tried to calm my breathing closing my eyes.

After a few minutes I opened my eyes to see Percy looking at me.

I looked up into his eyes and smiled.

He let go of the hand on my mouth and smiled back.

"I think he's gone" he said still keeping me pinned against the tree.

"I think you're right" I spoke.

"Annabeth, from before what I was trying to say was tha-"

"No… You don't have to say anything. I know where we stand" I said cutting him off. I felt the disappointment wash over me again.

"No, Annabeth it's not what you thi-"

I quickly placed my hand on his cheek stopping him mid-sentence.

"You don't have to say anything Percy. I know that what I feel, or what I think I feel, you don't have for me. I get it. You're my brother's best friend. So, it's a giving that we'll be nothing my friends. It's cool I totally understand" I spoke sadly.

I heard Percy sigh.

Then the unexpected happened.

He leaned towards me and crashed his lips onto mine.

I was shocked by this sudden kiss but I soon released the tension and melted into the kiss.

He backed me up into the tree again and placed two hands above my head to steady himself while I wrapped my arms around his neck bringing him closer to me.

I couldn't believe it. I was kissing him. We were kissing. He leaned in and kissed me.

The kiss wasn't filled with lust or anything like that. It was filled with pure passion, and something else I couldn't determine. It was gentle and ended way to soon.

Percy broke our connection and looked at me huffing.

I opened my eyes and tried for the second time tonight to calm my breathing.

I removed my hands from his neck and held them at my sides.

"That's how I feel. That's what we are. Or that's what I want us to be" Percy spoke.

I smiled.

Does that mean he felt the same way that I felt? I know what I feel now. The feeling of falling head over heels in love.

"Percy… I… I think I'm falling in love with you" I spoke looking up to meet his eyes.

He smiled and lowered his hands down, bringing them to caress my face.

He smiled gently and spoke, "I think I've already fallen"
