A dumb thing I've been sitting on for ages
"Percy, where are we going?" Annabeth asked, trying to lift the blindfold away from her eyes.
"Shhhhh," Percy said, pushing her hand down from the blindfold. "It's a surprise."
Annabeth sighed. "If I remember right, your last surprise nearly got us burned to death." "I didn't know the lava wall was under construction! How was I supposed to know it had developed a tendency to spray lava everywhere?" Percy said defensively. "Come on, the picnic itself wasn't that bad."
"Leo had to rescue us!"
"And you've still got a beautiful face, don't you?"
"I don't know, do I?"
"Of course, Annabeth. I'm not blind."
"Well, I am! I want this stupid thing off me!"
"Cool it, Wise Girl."
"Alright, we're here!" Percy said as he parked the car.
"Great. Can I take this off now?" Annabeth asked.
"Nope," Percy replied cheerfully.
He helped her out of the car. "If I trip on something and crack my head open, I'm blaming you, Seaweed Brain," she said. "Where are we, anyway?" Percy kept an arm around her shoulders, grinning as Annabeth took small, wary steps.
"I'll give you a few hints," he said. "Built in the 1930s. Seven hundred feet tall. Five million cubic acres of water-" Annabeth gasped. "Percy Jackson, you did not!" "The largest construction project in the United States," Percy finished. "You took me to the Hoover Dam?!" Annabeth shrieked.
Percy laughed, and untied the blindfold. "No point in keeping this now, hm?" She glared at him with the same stormy gray eyes he'd loved for years. She punched his shoulder. "That's for blinding me." Percy just laughed and rubbed his now sore shoulder. Gods, he loved this girl.
"Remember the summer when Atlas captured you and Artemis?"
"Vividly."
"Well, at one point we ended up here. I felt bad that you weren't here to see it. I'm making up for it now."
Annabeth kissed him. "You're the best."
"I know," Percy preened. "Does this make up for being blind for hours of driving?"
"Mayyybe. I need a little convincing."
Percy was all too happy to oblige.
I said it was dumb.
Review, please!
Would anyone object to a Reyna/Thalia oneshot? I feel like it'd be interesting.
