October 20
Annabeth
"AHS! AHS! GO DANIEL! GO DANIEL!" Percy's swim team was cheering as the relay was going on. Annabeth and Percy's parents had been cheering on his teammates all throughout the event, yelling out encouraging messages.
Daniel touched the platform and Percy dived into the water. Annabeth noticed that his dive was slopy compared to earlier. Normally when he dived, he hardly created a splash, but this entrance now was more like he had unceremoniously belly flopped onto the water.
"AHS! AHS! GO PERCY! GO PERCY!" the team yelled.
Annabeth, Paul and Sally joined into the chanting. "AHS! AHS! GO PERCY! GO PERCY!" They waved their posters around.
When he surfaced seconds later, she knew something was wrong. When he swam, his movements looked so graceful like he was one with the water like he hardly had to work to move in the water. His form right now looked awkward, choppy, and inefficient.
Ok so maybe it was just a bad start; perhaps he was just getting his bearings. There was nothing to worry about. His team had created a lead, so he just needed to maintain it.
As the seconds passed his movements became even slopier and he started trashing as if the water was fighting against him. He was beginning to sink all while he continued trashing around like something had grabbed onto him and was pulling him against his will.
The shock paralyzed Annabeth, freezing her on the spot. She wasn't sure how long he was trashing but his figure stopped moving altogether. Percy's unmoving figure was sinking to the bottom of the pool. The loud cheering was interrupted by a loud whistle as the lifeguard and Percy's coach dived into the pool. All the swimmers in the pool stopped swimming, questioning expressions on their faces, trying to figure out what was going on.
What was once a loud stadium filled with cheers and joy had been replaced with concern and confusion. Percy's team had gone quiet as they took in the scene.
'Did anyone see what happened to Percy?'
'He hasn't come out the water.'
'Oh my god, is the drowning?'
'Coach jumped into the pool just now.'
Annabeth bit her thumbnail seeing the scene unfold in front of her. From where she was, she could see Percy's unmoving body in the water. But why? Percy couldn't drown. Had something happened while he was in the water? Was he attacked? All those thoughts ran through her mind.
Sally was on the edge of the gallery, gripping the railing so tightly that her knuckles were white. "Oh gods, what just happened?" She breathed. "My baby…"
Annabeth continued to watch as the coach and the lifeguard pulled Percy's unmoving body out of the water. They laid him on the ground, and she couldn't stay up here any longer. She ran down the hall looking for the stairs, Sally and Paul running behind her. She felt her heart in her throat as she ran.
She hardly registered any of the passersby as she ran to where the pool entrance was. Thankfully they weren't met with any resistance as Annabeth, Sally and Paul entered the pool area. Many of the swimmers had come out the water.
The voice on the loudspeaker came on. 'Due to unforeseen circumstances, round one of the 400 Mixed Medley Relay has been postponed.'
Near the pool, Percy laid on his back, his friends kneeling around to him in a circle. The coach had his hands pressed on Percy's chest performing CPR.
"Come on Percy pull through! We know you got this man!" She heard his friends murmur as the coach continued CPR. Percy was unmoving, his eyes closed, his mouth hanging slightly open, his hair plastered to his forehead.
"Come on Percy!" The coach encouraged. Annabeth approached, catching the look of concern from all the people around.
Annabeth and Sally knelt next to Percy, Paul standing behind them placing a comforting hand on their shoulders.
Sally placed a comforting hand on Percy's face, brushing the hair off his forehead. "Come on baby, I know you can pull through."
Annabeth placed a hand on his hand, wrapping her fingers around his hand.
The coach continued with CPR stopping every so often to press his ear against Percy's chest.
Percy's eyes suddenly shot open, and he sat up so quickly that he almost hit the coach by accident. Percy kneeled, hands to his waist and he coughed out all the water that he had swallowed. He coughed out at least a lungful of water. After a moment he stopped coughing. He looked up taking in the scene, chest heaving. His eyes were dull, looking concerned and confused. His expression quickly changed to that look he got whenever he wanted everyone to know that everything was ok despite something being wrong.
"Ugh, who knew pool water tasted bad. I hope no one peed in the pool." He tried for humor but it felt flat. She wasn't sure how but suddenly, six people were wrapped around Percy before he managed to stand up, herself included. Percy's teammates, Sally, Paul and herself were around him, hugging him and asking how he felt.
"Guys it's ok. I'm feeling fine. I just had a little cramp. You guys can let go now." He argued softly. "Gah! Where are you touching?" He exclaimed. To be truthful Annabeth had been the one to touch him in a less than appropriate area, but that was only because everyone else was crowding him and her hand was pushed that way. She pulled her hand away the second she realized, a blush growing on her face.
She put her hands on his shoulders, pulled him in and kissed him, hard, like never before, as if she would lose him if she didn't kiss him. She didn't care that there was crowd around them. He was surprised at first, but he relaxed, allowing her in. He tasted like pool water which was not something on her itinerary. She hoped no one had peed in the pool.
They split apart and she looked into his eyes. She saw that there was concern in them but also mischief. She wasn't sure if she wanted to kiss him again or smack him for being an idiot. She didn't get a choice as Percy was pulled away from her by his swim mates who huddled around him. They were patting him on the back, hugging him and ruffling his hair. One of them was even kissing him on the cheek. She raised an eyebrow but blew it aside, knowing that they were just concerned.
"Sorry guys, I messed up the relay," Percy sighed, guilt in his voice, he looked down at his feet.
"Percy don't worry about the relay; your life is more important. You really had us worried there for a second," Bahman said. He had an arm wrapped around Percy's shoulders.
"Yeah, but he did mess it up," Daniel deadpanned, arms crossed.
"Daniel you ass!" Josh exclaimed.
"I'm just kidding. Glad to see you're still with us Percy."
"Boys, I need to talk with Percy in private if that's ok," the coach cut in. The coach looked exhausted and ready for a nap.
"Right, Coach!" The three boys chorused. They pushed Percy towards the coach but not before Sally embraced her son in a hug and whispered something in his ear. Percy grinned, but it didn't reach his eyes. He then moved to talk to the coach.
Annabeth saw as the stadium was slowly getting going back up in volume. The silence that had permeated for the last couple minutes was gone and soon there were sounds from all over the place. Annabeth observed Percy as he talked to the coach. He looked uneasy, he kept rubbing the back of his neck, ran his hands through his hair, was fidgeting and made hand gestures.
"Do you think he's in trouble? Josh asked.
"I really doubt it. Accidents happen. Coach is probably asking how he feels and what caused the entire incident," Daniel responded.
"In some cases, I hear that they can redo entire races, but under special circumstances." Bahman added.
"I wonder if we'll be able to redo the relay if that's the case," Joshua wondered.
Daniel shrugged. "We have to make sure Percy is fit and ready or it won't do us any good. Hopefully we're not disqualified."
"I guess you're right Dan." Joshua then raised an eyebrow. "Did you really have to kiss him on the cheek Dan?"
Daniel's face grew a bright shade of red. "Shut up! I was worried, ok?" He stepped on Josh's foot. "And can you blame me? Have you seen Percy? He looks like freaking Greek God."
Bahman put his arm around Daniel's shoulders. "We're not denying that he's good looking, just maybe don't kiss him in front of his girlfriend." Bahman pointed at Annabeth. "She was giving you a weird look when you did it. Like she wanted to kick your ass."
Annabeth just realized that she was being talked to. She stepped closer to the guys. Now that she thought about she hadn't been properly introduced to two of them. She was introduced to Bahman this morning but not the Asian guy and the tall one. She figured out their names when the team was chanting their names during the relay and when Percy talked to her about swim practice.
Annabeth approached the group. She noticed that the Asian guy looked a bit flustered while the other two guys were grinning. He ran a hand through his hair, "ah, you must be Annabeth. We haven't been properly introduced. My name's Daniel Park." He held out his hand for a handshake. Annabeth took his hand, and they shook. "Percy's always talking about you. The guy really cares for you. And umm… sorry about kissing him early." He didn't meet her gaze at that last sentence.
Annabeth shook her head and smiled. "Don't worry about it. I know you were all just worried. And I can't blame you." She shrugged. Getting a closer look at him, Daniel reminded her of one of those guys she saw in those Korean groups. She couldn't remember the name. He was about an inch or two taller than her.
"Now that that's taken care of, allow me to introduce myself pretty lady." Annabeth turned to look at the much taller guy, he towered over everyone, he was probably around Frank's height. "My name's Joshua Martin, but everyone just calls me Josh." Like Daniel he held out a hand out for her to shake.
"Nice to meet you all," Annabeth said as she shook his hand. "Percy's mentioned you all, he says you guys are annoying sometimes but you're all great." She had to crane her head to look at Josh in the eyes.
"What can we say? We are pretty nice guys" Bahman beamed. They talked for bit with her about her school and her relationship with Percy. Annabeth then turned her attention back to Percy and the coach.
The coach smiled at Percy, and they fist bumped. Annabeth noticed that the coach went to talk to a board of people sitting on a table while Percy went back to their direction.
"Hey," Percy waved perfectly casual.
Before Annabeth could ask anything, she was beat to the punch. "What did Coach say? Are you feeling alright? Does Daniel need to kiss you again so you feel better?" Bahman asked.
Daniel slapped the Persian boy in the back and muttered a curse that sounded like "fuck you," under his breath.
Percy shrugged. "I told Coach that I had a bad muscle cramp, and it was so painful that I couldn't move much." Annabeth knew it was a lie because of two things. First the look in his eyes and secondly, the fact that's she saw his thrashing body from the second floor. "Coach also said he would talk to the committee dudes over there to see about possibly redoing the relay."
"Will you be alright to do the relay in case we can do it again?" Daniel asked, concern in his voice.
"I'm sure I'll be fine, just need a bit a rest and I'll be good to go." Percy grinned, but it didn't quite reach his eyes. He looked at Annabeth but quickly avoided her gaze. He looked around the place and perked up. He walked over to his discarded jacket on the floor and put it on.
He walked back to them. "I need to use the restroom guys, let me know if anything happens."
"Yeah sure, we'll let you know!" Josh said.
With that Percy walked by Annabeth, he reached out a hand and patted her on the head and headed out the swimming area. "I'm just going to use the restroom," he whispered against her eye.
His tone of voice let her know something was clearly wrong. That look in his eyes confirmed it. His swim mates may not have known him as long, but she knew that look. It was the guarded look that he used whenever he was trying to hide something under the surface. She was about to run after him and confront him, but felt someone grab her hand. She turned around to see Sally looking at her with worried eyes.
"Can you please talk to Percy?" She asked. When Annabeth nodded, she continued. "I'm worried for him; he didn't seem like himself this morning. We try talking to him, but he rarely ever opens up and it's frustrating sometimes. He seems more comfortable talking to you and you've been with him through all... everything, you know." Sally didn't need to be more specific; Annabeth knew what she was referring to.
Annabeth placed a reassuring hand on the mother's shoulder. "Don't worry Sally, I'll find him and talk some sense into him."
"Thank you, Annabeth."
Annabeth followed the hallway that Percy was walking in moments before. Her conversation with Sally made the young demigod lose sight of him. She couldn't find him. His long legs could carry him far distances in short periods of time.
He mentioned that he was going to use the restroom so that's where she checked first. She stood outside the door of the closest restroom, deciding whether to go inside. She was startled when the door opened and two guys came out wearing their swim clothes.
"Whoa!" One of them exclaimed.
"The girl's bathroom is on the other side." The other guy pointed to the girl's restroom.
She rolled her eyes. "Gee thanks, that's really helpful. I'm looking for someone. Was there anyone else in there with you guys?"
They looked at each other and then shook their heads. "As far as we know, we were the only ones there."
"Oh, ok thank you."
She started walking away from them, but one of them called. "Hey baby, you're hot. I'm looking for some fun. The name's Samuel. I'll be swimming in the finals and my relay team made the cut." Annabeth stopped in her tracks and turned to face the guy. He approached her and was eyeing her up and down. "Word on the block is that you're Jackson's girl. Is that true?"
Annabeth kept her expression as blank as possible. What was this guy trying to play at? She specially didn't like the way he said 'Jackson's girl' like she was someone's property. He reached out and took a strand of her hair. "I think you can do better. Why don't I take you out tonight and show you good time?"
Annabeth slapped his hand away and gave him an icy glare which caused him to flinch. "Yikes, you're a feisty babe, aren't you? I like feisty chicks. They're the most fun to get in bed with."
Annabeth had to keep her anger under control before she broke this guy's nose. It wouldn't do her or Percy any good if she made a scene. He looked at her with a look of contempt. "At least I didn't drown in the pool like that dumbass did. I think you could do better. Go out with me tonight and I'll give you a good time. I bet you're good in bed too. Come on just one night. Jackson doesn't need to know."
She looked him dead in the eye and in the most venomous yet sweet voice with a huge smile she sneered, "I'm sorry, condescending assholes aren't my type." Then she walked away before he could say anything else. She was sure she was about to slap or judo flip him if he said anything else.
She continued walking around the venue, calming her nerves while looking for the restrooms and asking people if they had seen Percy. She had taken her phone out, calling and texting him multiple times but he never answered. She was about to head back to the swimming area after checking all the restrooms when she noticed an older gentleman sitting on a bench in the hallway, drinking a soda.
She took a seat on the opposite side of the bench; taking her phone out to call him again. She stood there for a moment, but he never answered. She sighed and slumped into the bench.
"Long day young lady?" The older man asked. When Annabeth nodded he spoke again. "These events are always tiring to the swimmers. My grandson is always exhausted when he gets home."
"I see," was all Annabeth could manage. She looked at her phone again to see if maybe Percy responded.
"It's also very emotional. The lads work so hard, and some don't make the cut. It's hard watching them breakdown." He took a sip of his soda. "I heard a young man drowned in the pool earlier, I hope he's doing alright."
"Yeah, I'm actually looking for him right now," Annabeth admitted.
The older man took a sip of his drink. "When my grandson lost on his first meet, he was an emotional wreck. We found him in the showers in the locker room. Perhaps you can try there young lady."
Annabeth quickly stood up. She thanked the old man and searched for the locker rooms. She found the door a couple seconds later. She paused for a moment, thinking about her next move. There was no guarantee that he was inside, the old man had just given her a suggestion. He hadn't guaranteed that Percy was there.
She weighed her options. She could stay out here and wait for him to come out if he was inside and ask what's wrong. She could head back to the stadium and wait for him to back there and then ask what's wrong, or she could go inside the locker room and look for him. She went with the third option, hopefully, he was the only one in the room if he was inside.
She opened the door and stuck her head inside. She noticed the rows upon rows of lockers. "Percy?" she called out. She didn't get a response. Ok it was now or never. She fully entered the room and thankfully no one else was inside.
"Percy?" She called again. "Are you in here?" She didn't receive a response, but she did hear running water. She walked over to the sound and stood in front a shower stall. She hoped that it was Percy that was inside it and not someone else. Her doubts were cleared when she saw that a black jacket had been thrown carelessly in front of the stall with the name 'Jackson' on the back.
"Percy?" she called once again. Perhaps third time's the charm. She didn't get a response. She took a deep breath. She grabbed the curtain and opened it to reveal the form of Percy. He was sitting on the floor, back against the wall. He had his knees to his chest, arms wrapped around his legs, and head slumped down. The water was running, soaking him. He looked so deflated, vulnerable and small.
She approached him and turned the water off. She kneeled down, getting close to eye level. "Percy are you alright?"
He didn't respond but saw how his body trembled and the quiet sniffle escaped. She moved her hands to his face, lifting his head up, forcing him to look at her. His eyes looked sad and broken, his lips were turned into a frown. "Hey you, ok?" She tried again. She saw his bottom lip quiver and a tear leave his eye.
"Hey, it's alright Percy. If you need to let it all out go ahead, it's ok. I've got you." She encouraged. She pried him off the wall so she could wrap her arms around him.
He wrapped his arms around her; lowering his head to rest on her shoulder and then he began shaking. She could tell that he was trying hard not to cry out loud by the magnitude of his shakes. He couldn't hold it anymore as he started sobbing into her shoulder and his grip tightened around her. She ran her hands gently across his back giving him reassuring messages. "Shh, it's alright Percy. I'm here for you. Let it all out." She didn't care that she was getting wet.
After a moment she had him stand up and guided him to the bench in front of the showers, she grabbed his jacket off the floor and handed it to him. He placed it on his lap. She also grabbed a towel and draped it on his shoulders. Once she sat next to him, he pulled her in again, wrapping his arms around her like he was his life source. His head slumped on her shoulder as he continued crying. She ran a hand through his wet hair, the other running down his back.
"Hey, it's alright, it's ok, you're ok," she whispered. She wasn't sure how long they stayed together but once his sobs calmed down, she asked, "do you want to talk about it?"
He was quiet for a couple moments and then he started talking. "I didn't have a cramp underwater. I think it might have been a flashback or maybe a panic attack," he murmured.
"Wait-what happened? Is everything ok?" She demanded; it came out a bit harsher than she intended it to.
Percy gripped her tighter. "I had this bad nightmare last night. It kept coming up during the relay and I couldn't push it aside." He paused for a moment to take a deep breath. "During the relay, I don't know, it just came back up and I tried to push it out. I really did but I couldn't." He took another breath to calm down. "Once I was in the water, I felt cold. Like when we fell into the Cocytus, then I started hearing voices telling me to give up. After that I saw Akhlys again…" his voice broke at the mention of her name. Annabeth continued running her hands on his back reassuringly. "Afterwards, there was the River Acheron and that's when things went bad. It was like I was hearing the Cocytus, the Acheron and Akhlys all at once."
His voice quivered as he continued to tell what happened. "Shhh, everything's fine Percy, please tell me what happened," she reassured. "What happened after? You couldn't breathe underwater?"
"I tried to, which I don't recommend, pool water tastes awful." There was some wry humor in his voice. "Anyways, when I tried, my mind wondered to all the times I drowned. The Muskeg in Alaska, Rome when we fought those dumb nymphs, the Cocytus and… when I was poisoned underwater by Polybetes." He tensed up when he mentioned Polybetes.
Percy and Jason had given her a quick rundown about what had happened underwater, but they didn't divulge the details. She removed her hands from his back and placed them on his shoulders, she pushed him back slightly, so they were face to face. "Percy tell me everything that happened down there with Polybetes."
Percy looked really uneasy; he was avoiding her gaze but she would not give up. She kept staring at him, hoping that he would say something. After a long silence he finally told her. "I almost gave up. Like I stopped fighting down there. I felt like I deserved to die choking on poison, the same way that I tried to drown Akhlys. I honestly would have died down there if not for Jason."
"Oh Percy!" She exclaimed, sorrow in her voice. She resumed hugging him tightly, hugging him like he was the only thing in the world. "Percy please don't hide things from me. We promised each other not to hide things. Remember? If something it bothering you, let me know or someone, your parents, your coach, your friends, someone ok? Don't shut us out. You don't have to shoulder all these burdens all by yourself. It's ok to share them and let things out."
"Annabeth, it's just… like… ugh I don't know how to explain it. It just hard you know. Like you have to look well put together and confident all the time and I just don't want to be nuisance to anyone…" she shut him up by pressing her lips to his. They shared a soft kiss, dissipating some of the tension.
They wrapped their arms around each other. His head resting on her shoulder again. "I know that what you did with Akhlys was terrifying, but I also know that you didn't mean to do it. It was just a desperate situation. You did what you had to do to survive. If you hadn't done, we probably would have died in Tartarus. But trust me on this, you don't deserve to die. Not after everything you've been through."
"There's nothing wrong with looking for comfort. And you're not a nuisance. You're human just like the rest of us and we all need comfort," she continued. He kissed her shoulder. "But please in the future, promise me you won't hide things if something happens. Let me know, ok? The same way that I let you know when I'm feeling down." She gave him a quick kiss by the ear.
They sat there together for a second before he talked again. "I also feel guilty that I screwed up the race for the guys. They worked so hard and they were counting on me. They're gonna hate me."
She took his face in her hands, looking him into his eyes. "Percy, I can guarantee you that they won't hate you."
"How do you know Annabeth? I'm their captain, they were counting on me, and I let them down. What if they can't advance because of me?" His voice cracked. "What if we can't have a redo? I failed them…"
"Percy, stop look at me!" She prompted, there was an edge of anger rising inside her. Why did he always have to carry all these burdens upon himself? "You didn't fail anyone, I can promise you that."
He didn't look convinced. She caressed her fingers across his cheekbones. "Listen to me ok. Look what happened today was out of your control. You didn't mean for any of this to happen, and your teammates don't blame you for what happened."
"But… Annabeth," he murmured.
"Absolutely no buts Percy. You didn't fail anyone today," she reassured him. He put his head in the crook her neck as she ran her hands through his hair. "And if your teammates blame you for it, I'll kick their asses."
He let out a long breath. "What did I ever do to deserve you? My Wise Girl."
"Likewise, my Seaweed Brain."
The sound of the door opening followed by someone asking, "Percy? Dude are you here? Coach told us to share some news with you."
They both looked in the direction where the voice came from, and his teammates came in. "Oh! Were we interrupting something?" Josh asked.
Percy shook his head. "No, you guys are ok. What were the news Coach talked about?"
Annabeth noticed that the three guys were blushing profusely.
"Right, Coach talked to the committee, and they agreed to let us have a redo at the relay since none of the other teams in our round finished. We came to ask if you were up for it." Daniel told him.
Percy nodded. "Yeah, I'm up for it. And sorry guys, about messing up earlier." He looked downcast.
"Don't be man, it was just an unfortunate accident. We won't hold it against you." Bahman said. There was a smirk on the young swimmer's voice. "Coach said the relay will be in fifteen minutes so um… you two should wrap up whatever it is you were doing."
Percy rolled his eyes. "As if you wouldn't be doing the same with your girlfriend."
"Like I said, I'm a good Muslim boy. We'll see you back at the pool Percy." With that the guys left.
"I told you they don't blame you," Annabeth said.
He breathed out, relaxing his shoulders. "Yeah, I guess you're right."
"You have some nice friends," Annabeth commented.
"Yeah, they're annoying sometimes, but they're mostly great."
"Sounds like someone I know," Annabeth teased.
Percy raised an eyebrow. "And who would that be?"
Annabeth planted a kiss on his bare shoulder. "I'm looking right at him."
He tensed slightly beneath her. "Since we aren't keeping secrets. I need to tell you something."
She looked him in his eyes. "Oh, and what would that be?"
He patted her gently on the back and gave her quick kiss on the neck, on top of her collarbone. "I got my SAT scores back and didn't do great."
Well, it was nothing crazy. She thought he was going to say that he kissed or hooked up with another girl. It was crazy on her part, but she was prepared for the worst. She ran a hand through his hair. "You can always retake it. I can help you out."
"Thanks Annabeth, for helping me out," Percy breathed against her neck and gave her neck another kiss causing her to gasp.
"Always," she responded. She stood up, holding a hand out to help him up. He put on his jacket and together they made their way back to the pool.
"When I was being tackled by hugs, someone touched me in a less than appropriate way," Percy said absentmindedly. "Was it you, Wise Girl?"
"It was an accident, ok? I didn't mean to; everyone was all over you and my hand was pushed that way. And it was only for like half a second."
He smirked at her. "Sure it was. Pervert," he muttered.
She rolled her eyes. "It was an accident."
"Keep telling yourself that. I knew you couldn't resist."
"Don't flatter yourself."
"That's not what you said last time we did it." She slapped his back and he just laughed it out.
As they were walking, she looked him up and down. He was wearing his swimsuit and jacket, but her eyes zeroed in on his swimsuit. More specifically his ass. His jammers made his ass look incredible. The fact that random girls kept staring at him throughout the meet didn't escape her notice. Especially when he was in position in the starting platform or when he got out the water, his body glistening.
She looked away, feeling her face start to heat up. Her mind started racing. Him wearing that swimsuit was driving her crazy. She wanted to take him somewhere private and get into each other's space until nothing separated them. It had been a while since they've done it. Maybe tonight if he wasn't tired and up for it, they could talk and get intimate.
Percy
Percy gave Annabeth another quick kiss before telling her to wait for him up the gallery. He also talked with parents to let them know that he was doing great and just had to relieve some tension and talk out some things. They too followed Annabeth into the upstairs gallery.
"Hey guys," Percy waved at his team mates.
They all looked at him and then tackled him almost sending the young demigod to the ground. They hugged him, ruffled his hair and kissed him on the cheeks which Percy thought was strange, but he went with it.
"Guys I'm fine really, I just had a lot on my mind and Annabeth helped me clear my mind."
"I bet she did more than help you clear you mind," Josh said wiggling his eyebrows.
"Get your minds out the gutter. We have a relay to win," Percy scolded. They just laughed together and huddled to get into the team spirit.
The voice on the loudspeaker came up. 'Due to special circumstances, the first round of the Mixed 400-meter Medley Relay will begin momentarily. Participating Swimmers please get into position.'
All four them put their goggles and caps on. Like before Josh was in the water, ready for the backstroke. The buzzer went off and the race began. Everyone in the stadium started cheering again.
Percy felt a lot lighter now, he talked with someone about his problems. It felt as is the weight of the sky had been taken off his shoulders. He was jumping around the starting platform waiting for his turn to enter the water. He got into position as Daniel approached the platform, he yelled out "Percy!" and Percy dove into the water, welcoming its cool embrace.
Everything went by so quickly that he barely noticed when he touched the starting platform. He ripped off his goggles and cap, panting for breath then looked at the leader board.
AHS 4:43.56
"Fuck yeah! We made it to the finals!" Joshua yelled. Percy smiled and got out the water where his team was cheering from the gallery. He was quickly grabbed into group hug and the boys jumped together in joy after making it to the finals.
"You guys did it!" Coach exclaimed. He joined in their group hug and started jumping around with them. "Make sure to also beat the finals so you can move on to regionals."
They split up later for the lunch break which took place between the preliminaries and the finals. Thankfully, the team had ordered catered lunch which they all ate together along with friends and family. Percy's mom had bought some blue chocolate chip cookies to hand out.
Percy was sitting with his parents and Annabeth as he devoured his second Chipotle bowl. "What? I'm hungry?" he said whenever he got odd looks from his family. He then pointed to the other guys on the team that had swam earlier. They, like Percy, were inhaling their food. Josh was inhaling his fourth bowl. "Wonder if I ever told you guys on how we got banned from this all you can eat buffet near the school. We really cleaned the place out."
"Swimmers and their rapid metabolisms. I'm surprised the team hasn't been banned from more places," Paul commented.
"How do you feel Percy?" Sally asked.
"I'm doing well mom; Annabeth really helped me clear my head after the incident."
"Thank you, Annabeth." She turned to Annabeth and lightly patted her shoulder.
"It was my pleasure, this knucklehead has no idea what's going half the time." Annabeth pointed to Percy.
"Hey!" He protested. She grinned at him then put her hand on his forearm.
There was brief two-hour intermission between the end of lunch and the start of the finals. During that time, the team played all kinds of games. Percy took the time to introduce everyone on the team to Annabeth and his parents.
"What summer camp did you find her in Perce? I may need to go there to bag a cute girl for myself." Josh inquired.
"Keep it in your pants Josh," Daniel chided. He was in a better mood after lunch.
After the intermission, the top eight swimmers from each stroke and the top eight teams would compete to move onto the regional competition. Freestyle was first, like in the morning. Percy stood on the pools edge observing as the water moved. Alex was waiting behind him since he would be competing in the finals as well.
"You ok Percy?" he asked.
Percy turned around. "Yeah, Alex all good. I forgot you're also participating in this event. No hard feelings if either one of us doesn't make it?" He held out his hand for Alex to shake.
"No hard feelings man," They shook hands.
'The 50-meter freestyle final will begin soon, participating swimmers please get into position.'
They both took their positions on adjacent lanes and got ready. The buzzer off and all the swimmers dove into the water. Percy felt like he was gliding effortlessly in the water. It shocked him how quickly he touched the 50-meter platform. He looked at the leader board and observed as it slowly stated filling out.

Percy heard some swimmers around him cheering while he heard other cursing. The swimmers next him gave him handshakes and congratulated him. One swimmer on a further lane was glaring at him. By looking at the leaderboard he guessed it was Samuel.
He got out of water noticing that the team was cheering loudly for him. Annabeth and his parents were specially cheering for him, waving their posters.
'Congratulations to Percy Jackson and Samuel Clark who will be moving to the regional competition. Good work to all swimmers today. The 100-meter freestyle final will begin momentarily, all participating swimmers please get into position.'
Percy noticed Alex looking a bit downcast, he put a hand on his shoulder. "Hey man you alright?'
Alex shrugged. "Looks like I couldn't make it this time. Maybe next time. Will you help me, Percy?"
Percy's grip tightened on Alex's shoulder. "Sure thing dude. But I need to get over there for the next race." He pointed to the pool behind him.
"Thanks, and good luck Percy." Alex left the pool area and went to the gallery to cheer for the next swimmers.
The remaining freestyle race was over quickly. Percy managed a first-place win in that one as well.

Afterwards, the backstroke races took place with Josh managing a first-place win in the 100 backstroke and third place in the 200 backstroke.
Breaststroke and Butterfly followed soon after with Bahman, Marcus and Daniel snatching a first or second place win in their respective races.
Now the senior group was downstairs getting ready for the relay final. They huddled together with the coach giving them words of encouragement. They let out a loud chant and got into position.
Unlike last time, Percy felt light and filled with energy to swim in the relay. In the end, AHS managed to snag the first-place spot, just two seconds faster than the second-place spot. The group was again huddled together and jumping around in joy. "We made it guys!' Percy cheered.
All of them were in the locker room. Percy had taken a quick shower to get the chlorine off himself. He went back to his locker and started putting his clothes on. He put on his jeans, a white t-shirt, his camp necklace and owl necklace. As he was changing, he got some comments from some of the swimmers from the other schools.
'Dude, you were a beast. Where did you learn to swim like that?'
'You really had us scared during the relay. Hope you're alright.'
'Bro you were quick.'
Percy shrugged. "Ah I guess it's in my blood," he said bashfully. He also got a couple dirty looks from the other swimmers, but he paid them no mind. He threw his jacket on, then grabbed his bag, looking around to see his teammates. Some of them had left earlier to get dinner with their families while others stayed behind.
He looked at his phone where the time read 5:36 PM. They had really spent the entire day swimming. He was ready to head home, grab some dinner, relax and maybe take a nap. Then he remembered the pile of homework he needed to be done and the revisions Rick sent him on his book. By this point he had written most of it, he was going through revisions and edits. He groaned internally then shut the door to his locker.
He exited the room to see Annabeth waiting for him outside. Instantly, his attitude got brighter. "Annabeth," he called out. She turned to look at him and her eyes got brighter as well.
"Percy," she said wistfully. They embraced each other and held each other. "You did it Percy, you made it to regionals."
Percy shrugged. "It was no big deal. I want to take a shot at the 200, 400 and 800 free and individual medley at the next meet. We'll see if I can make it into State."
Annabeth stepped on her tip toes, pressing a quick kiss on his cheek. Percy wrapped his arms around her, holding her in place.
"Annabeth?" he whispered.
"Yeah Percy?"
"Thanks for today," he murmured.
"Always."
He wrapped an arm around Annabeth's shoulders as they made their way outside. Annabeth was glaring at a swimmer as they walked past him. The guy glared back. Percy recognized him as Samuel from earlier in the freestyle rounds.
"What's up with you and him?" Percy asked.
Annabeth sighed. "It's better you don't know. You might make a scene."
Percy was taken aback. "Wha- what do you mean?" He was about to ask Annabeth for more details, but a voice called him from behind.
"Mr. Jackson, could I just get a moment to speak with you?"
They both turned around where a tall middle-aged man wearing a tracksuit was walking towards them.
"Oh yeah sure," Percy answered.
"Thank you." He cleared his throat. "I would like to congratulate you on your performance today. You really blew everyone away," he began. Percy nodded. "I should introduce myself. I'm Dave Clark, coach for the NYU swim team. I'm here to ask if you have made any decisions regarding your future in swimming. I see great potential in you young man. I would like to extend an invitation from the NYU team to possibly consider joining."
Percy was at a loss for words. His coach said that he could expect some scouts here and there, but he wasn't expecting to find one so early. Annabeth nudged his side. "Oh yeah. I… uh. I haven't really considered swimming in the future." If he was being truthful, he considered it more as a hobby rather than a career.
Dave nodded. "Well, here's my business card. Feel free to contact me if you would be interested in joining the team and we could discuss the following steps." He handed a business card to Percy. He nodded towards Annabeth and then left.
Percy looked at the card. It read.
Dave Clark
New York University Swim Coach
And it had his contact info
"Uh… I was not expecting that," Percy said.
Annabeth poked his side. "I think it's great Percy. But you promised we'll go to New Rome remember?"
"Yeah, I remember," he reassured. This event got Percy thinking. If the coach from NYU came to him personally and saw potential in him, perhaps Percy could take swimming from a hobby and turn it into a career? All these thoughts got him thinking. Did New Rome even have a swim team? What if they didn't? What if he wanted to continue swimming during college? What would he do then?
"Percy, you have your 'I'm thinking about something face.'" Annabeth's comment broke him from his thoughts. "You don't get that look that often."
"Oh ha ha Wise Girl. I'm just thinking."
"Don't hurt yourself."
He rolled his eyes. "You know. I haven't really thought about swimming as a career, but maybe I could make it into one."
Annabeth looked at him with inquisitive eyes like she was going through her own plans. "You know, seeing you swim today, made me think that you could possibly take it into college. I think you would do great. Maybe get into the big leagues."
"Does New Rome even have a swim team? The Romans don't like water."
Annabeth shrugged. "Beats me. We'll have to look into it later."
He pressed a kiss on her forehead. "Thanks, you're the best Wise Girl ever."
She raised an eyebrow. "Are there other Wise Girls I should know about?"
Percy grinned. "Yeah, there's four more, but you're best one."
She pinched his side harshly. "Don't even start Seaweed Brain."
Percy's parents were waiting outside the venue. They both congratulated the young swimmer and hugged him tightly. Percy then went to check with the coach to make sure that everything was fine. Like everyone before, the coach told him how proud he was and was excited to see how much Percy would grow. Percy waved the rest of the team goodbye and went with his parents and Annabeth to the Prius where Paul agreed to take them out for dinner at a steakhouse.
Percy threw his shoes aside, threw his bag beside his bed, then plopped down on his bed once he was home. Annabeth followed behind him. Percy rested on his back, his hands behind his head looking at the ceiling.
"First swim meet huh? Guess I'll be seeing more of these in the future."
Annabeth approached him and ran a hand through his hair. By now it was just past 7 PM and Percy was ready for a long nap. All the excitement and exercise of the day had left him drained. He laid on the bed, continuing to look at the ceiling. He noticed that Annabeth had gone back to the door and locked it. He raised an eyebrow as she looked at him.
"Hey," she said casually.
"Hey," he responded. She sat down on the edge of bed and looked at him.
"You did great today; I think you deserve a treat." She was giving him a seductive look.
"Oh? And what would that be?" He asked, a grin growing on his face.
She laid on top of him, her hands caressing his face. She gently bit his ear and whispered. "I think I know what we can do."
"Remember what my mom said? Not in her house," he teased.
Annabeth whispered back seductively. "That hasn't stopped us before and we can be quiet."
"You? Quiet? Since when?" He joked.
She laid her head on his chest. "I guess you don't want it then," she admonished.
"No… I mean I do, only if you want to," he argued back desperately. "Like, how long has it been since we've done it? Like weeks, right?"
Annabeth smiled. "I want to. And it's been a while. We can never find the right time and place."
"I'm up for it if you are. I could use a bit of extra cardio." All thoughts of tiredness had left his mind and body.
She gently rolled her eyes but grinned. "I was hoping you would say that." She leaned in to kiss him. She started off soft, planting gentle kisses on his lips before she started increasing the intensity. Before he knew it, her mouth ate as his hungrily like he was a lifesaving drug she couldn't live without. She bit at his bottom while he in turn gently bit at hers. Her tongue entered his mouth and wrestled with his for dominance. Their teeth clanging against each other's. She tasted of strawberries, probably from the strawberry dessert she had at the steakhouse earlier.
Their breaths were becoming more labored as the kiss progressed, neither one of them wanting to split from each other. How much longer could they go until they would be forced to separate for breath?
Finally, they split apart. She leaned into his ear and ran a hand under his shirt and jacket caressing his torso. "You were wearing that tight swimsuit all day; it was driving me crazy," she whispered.
Percy removed his hands from behind his head and reached under her shirt, caressing her body in slow thoughtful strokes. Her skin felt nice and smooth under his touch.
Annabeth moved to place one of her legs between his legs, pressing her leg against an organ that was slowly getting stiffer. He continued running his hands on her back as she leaned in to kiss him again. Hungrier and more desperate than the first one. She slowly began unzipping his jacket, caressing his torso as she did so. He in turn was beginning to remove Annabeth's shirt. Percy lifted himself off the mattress slightly so that she could fully unzip and remove his jacket from him. She tossed it carelessly on the floor. Percy managed to pull Annabeth's shirt off, tossing it on the ground just as she was working on removing his shirt.
There was a knock on the door. "Percy, Annabeth, do you want any cookies?" His mother asked.
They both froze on the spot, staring the door. "Ah, we're good mom. Thank you though." He tried in his most casual voice though it may have come out as flustered.
"Alright, dear." She said. "Paul and I are going to see his parents. You two be responsible, ok?"
"Ah yeah…yeah. Don't worry, we'll be responsible."
There was a sound of agreement from the door then they heard her footsteps recede into the hallway along with another set. They waited for another minute until the front door was shut.
The young demigods looked at each other, Annabeth still on top of him. "She really has a habit of interrupting us huh? She killed the mood." Percy chuckled.
Annabeth was still looking at him lust in her eyes. Her pupils blown with anticipation. She had honestly never looked more beautiful.
"Oh, don't worry Seaweed Brain. Now where were we?" She moved her hands under his shirt again slowly stroking his abdomen and chest. She moved in again to place her lips to his again for the third time. This time she was even more intense, her tongue going into back his mouth as they fought each other for dominance. He felt her hands gently stroke across his torso underneath his shirt. She took her hands out of his shirt and then went to his neck, caressing and kissing his Adam's apple. She moved her lips across his neck, biting gently on the supple skin.
He groaned at the contact, her hands going for the hem of his shirt. She lifted it off him and threw it into the growing pile of clothes on the ground.
Percy not wanting to be outdone, began working on the straps of her bra. Slowly and carefully unhooking the straps while she worked on his neck with burning passion. He was sure he would have some hickeys. No big deal, water would take care of it. She could give him as many hickeys as she wanted. He wasn't one to complain. He grabbed her bra, releasing her breasts in their full glory, impatient to put them in his mouth and toy with them. He tossed the bra onto the growing pile and this time he pulled Annabeth back up so he could devour her mouth.
This time he was in the on in control of the kiss. This time his tongue wrestled with hers as he entered her mouth. He moved one his legs so it hit her core and caused her to moan gently, which he quickly ate. One of her hands moved to his hair, gripping his scalp while the other caressed his face lovingly. He had both arms wrapped around her, not allowing her to move out of his grasp and continued the kiss until they couldn't any further.
They were both practically gasping for breath when they split apart. She lifted herself off him slightly and just looked into his eyes. He looked into her stormy gray eyes alive with lust and desire.
"That," Annabeth panted. "Was one of the best kisses we've ever had."
"Wanna go for another one?" He suggested.
She shook her head. "I think we should move on to something else." He raised an eyebrow at her suggestion. She quickly lifted herself off him to straddle him. She looked at him again, with deep desire in her eyes. She leaned down to kiss his neck again, hissing and groaning as he felt her teeth gently bite down on his skin. He used his hands to run them through Annabeth's hair. He felt her breasts pressing against his chest and abdomen as she kissed his neck.
She moved one of her hands down his torso, going from his chest to his abdomen slowly tracing the muscles with burning fingers. Her hand settled on his belt buckle, while planting kisses on his chest. She took one of his nipples in her mouth while she massaged his other one. He hissed at the gesture. He knew Annabeth loved it when he played with her breasts, but he never knew that she wanted to do the same thing to him. He felt her tongue moving across his nipple and the soft bite she gave it.
She removed herself and then pressed gentle kisses on his abdomen as she made her way to his crotch. His skin felt like it was burning with pleasure whenever her lips landed. She stopped on top of his crotch. Her hands moved to undo his belt buckle, removing the belt in a fast motion, and tossing it on the growing pile of clothes. She unbuttoned his jeans and then pulled his fly down. He lifted his hips so she could remove his pants from him, along with his socks. That left him wearing his black boxer briefs which were the only remaining barrier between his throbbing erection and her.
Annabeth stared at him for a second, taking in the sight. She looked into his eyes. "You wore your nice ones today. Did you know we would do this?"
Percy grinned but shook his head. "It was all coincidence you know."
She pressed her palm on his erection, eliciting a low groan from him. One of his hands was gripping the bedsheet and she continued palming him.
She moved slightly up to press a light kiss on his abdomen right above his crotch. "Lucky coincidence then. You look fucking sexy with these on." She palmed him again causing him to groan. She began teasing him by sliding her hand and underneath the waist band hand wrapping her hand around his length and slowly stroking him. He was moving his hands to fully remove his boxers, but she slapped them away. "Keep these on for a bit longer. Don't take them off."
"Come on Annabeth," he complained. "You're taking forever."
"Patience Percy. I like to take my time." She continued slowly stroking and working him causing him to groan. She slowly worked his length out the slit of his boxers, fully freeing him to her.
She stared at him again, biting her bottom lip. She moved her head close to his erection. She leaned down, her mouth right on top of his throbbing erection.
She began by wrapping a hand around his length, pumping slowly as he groaned from the sensation. She rubbed her thumb gently on the head eliciting more sounds of pleasure from him. He felt her weight shift as she was shifting into the second act.
Her tongue began tracing at the base of his length all the way to his tip. She kissed and licked the head, using a hand to pump him at the same time. She gently licked the vein on the underside of his cock, tracing it from the base all the way to the head. He felt her shift again and knew the main event was coming, she gave the tip one last kiss before taking him into her mouth. She used her hands to spread his leg apart as she took him in.
Percy threw his head back on the bed and hissed at the pleasure she was giving him. One hand gripped the bedsheet while the other gripped her hair as if trying to keep her under control. She took him in slowly inch by inch and as deep as she could. He felt as her tongue wrapped around his length and he hit the back of her throat, causing his toes to curl. She gagged whenever she took him as deep as she could.
He placed a hand on her chin, slowly separating her from his throbbing cock. "Hey," he called. She looked into his eyes, "don't hurt yourself ok."
She wiped the tears from her eyes and wiped her mouth with the back of her hand. She shook her head, "It's ok, I want to do this." She wrapped her lips around him again, taking him in much harsher this time, as if he had challenged her.
His head slammed back onto the pillow, his toes curling and legs twitching as she took him in more aggressively. "Fuck… that's it baby. Just like that," he moaned.
She continued with her efforts, tongue wrapping around his length, taking him deep into her mouth. She sucked him like he was her lifeblood. One of her hands moved to fondle his balls while the other she moved onto his chest and abdomen, slowly tracing them with burning fingers. She pressed down again, his tip hitting her throat again and she held him there for a second before releasing him.
She then focused her efforts on the sensitive head, using her tongue to message his slit, lapping up a drop of pre cum before taking him in again. "Shit- fuck Annabeth. Yeah, suck it," he groaned.
His words only seemed to have reinvigorated her. She started speeding up again, pumping him in and out of her mouth. He slowly felt his abdomen and crotch begin to tingle with his release. He wouldn't last much longer at the rate she was going.
He considered her words from earlier. Patience Percy, I like to take my time. Yeah right, she was way too enthusiastic about sucking him right now. Not that he was complaining.
He was panting as she continued bobbing her head up and down. His release was getting closer by the second. He moved one hand to try to move her away, but she refused, sucking with even more ferocity, pumping him with increased force.
"Shit!" He groaned. "Babe, I'm gonna…" He tried to pry her off so he wouldn't spill into her mouth, but she refused to move, instead pressing herself deep again. She wrapped her hands around his thighs so he couldn't separate her head. He could feel his tip touching the back of her throat as his pleasure was released.
"Fuck!" He groaned feeling his dick harden even more against her lips, releasing his seed into her mouth and down her throat. Annabeth stayed there, taking breaths through her nose for a couple more seconds, taking in every last drop.
She eventually released him as he started softening slightly. She gave the head one last kiss which caused it to twitch. He was way too sensitive right now. She looked him dead in the eye with a huge grin on her face. "Salty, like the sea with a taste of Percy," she noted. "I love it."
Percy was even more aroused at the sight. This was the first time she had taken his orgasm into her mouth. The first time she had fully taken everything. In all previous instances that she blew him, she propped her mouth off at the last second and pumped him until he burst all over her chest. This time, she fully accepted everything and she liked it. Correction, it looked like she adored it.
He pulled her towards him wanting to devour her mouth again. He didn't care if he could taste himself. Her face was top of his and he devoured her mouth, his tongue wrestling against hers. He did in fact taste salty, like the sea and there was an undertone of something else which he guessed was what Annabeth referred to as 'Percy taste.'
Her eagerness to have accepted everything from him as well as his grinding against her core as she was on top of him turned him on to an unknown degree. He felt himself start to harden again.
She made him feel so good that he had to return the favor. Without splitting apart from the kiss, he sat up and slowly pushed her down onto the bed. Her hands wrapped against his back as he moved to kiss her neck, biting the flesh lovingly and leaving a mark. She groaned and moved her legs at the pleasure. He traced small kisses on her collarbone as his hands moved to massage her breasts.
He thought they were perfect. They weren't huge but they weren't small either. They were a good in between and just perfect.
Her nipples were hard, and he couldn't wait to play with them. He first massaged both nipples with his thumbs, flicking them back and forth, taking in her reaction. He then moved his mouth closer, licking and nipping at the bud. This caused her to whimper his name and grip his scalp.
She took the other nipple into his mouth while kneading the other with his other hand. He ate at her, licking, flicking and sucking until she shivered underneath him. She was gasping for breath, begging him to return whenever he separated. A grin grew on his face when he looked at her face.
He returned to his task of playing with her breasts, but this time one hand moved to her pants and underneath her panties which were already soaked.
"Fuck, you're so wet already Beth," he teased. "Do you want me to fuck you with my fingers?"
She nodded. "Please Percy, I need something inside me," she almost begged.
He returned his mouth to hers as he pressed a finger against her engorged clit and she practically convulsed when he touched it, which only caused his smirk to grow. In one fluid motion she kicked her pants off, leaving her wearing her panties. He got the message, she wanted to him to continue with his actions. He pressed a long finger onto her entrance as saw as she practically fell apart.
He continued pumping with his finger before he decided to add a second one which caused her to shriek. He swallowed the shriek that came out of her mouth, grinning at the result of his actions. He continued pumping his fingers in and out of her core, massaging her clit with his thumb. He vaguely wondered if he should go ahead and try to press in a third finger.
He continued for several more moments, devouring at her mouth while his fingers pumped in and out with increased speed and ferocity. He wanted her to come apart, wanted her to feel the pleasure she deserved. She tightened around his fingers and she yelled out his name, knowing that she had her orgasm. He slowly split from her, taking her in her ravished form. Her chest heaving from the pleasure.
He gave her his lopsided smirk. "How was that Wise Girl?"
"That was… oh… Percy that was great." She panted.
He leaned down to give her a light kiss. "Glad you liked it, but I want to do something else if you don't mind."
She ran a hand through his hair. "Go ahead, Seaweed Brain, make me feel good."
He chuckled. "I promise I will." He gave her one light kiss on the cheek and slowly moved down her body, giving her torso light kisses. He moved until his face was between her legs, taking in the sight of her soaked panties. He pressed two fingers against her entrance, watching as her back arched. He continued pressing on it watching her body twitch with each movement, teasing her by not moving forward.
"Percy!" She yelled. "Rip them off!" She commanded. He smirked, he didn't have to tell him twice, he wanted this too. He grabbed the elastic and practically ripped of her panties then threw the pieces who knows where. He didn't care right now. He used his hands to split her apart to get a full unobstructed view of her vagina.
Annabeth had guided him through her pleasure areas, giving him tips and tricks that would please her. He was confident that he could make her come apart. He started by licking her from one edge to the other. He then focused his efforts on her clit, licking and sucking at it. She groaned and screamed whenever he did that. He continued sucking on her clit and decided to up the pleasure by sticking a finger into her entrance. This caused her to arch her back and her legs to twitch. He upped the pressure more by sliding a second long finger all while continuing to play with her clit with his tongue.
He wasn't sure how long he stayed like this, using his mouth and fingers to pleasure her. It could have been seconds, minutes, hours. He was so lost in his actions that he wasn't paying attention. His tongue kept lapping at her entrance, greedily taking her in like she was the only thing that mattered in the world. Part of him felt like he wanted to payback for the blowjob she had given him earlier. He felt his cock, between his legs, hard as a rock, leaking with fluids, wanting to enter her and release himself onto her embrace.
"Percy… I'm gonna… Ah!" Annabeth yelled. She used her hands to push his head into her core as she succumbed to her orgasm. He lapped up the fluids coming out her core. They tasted so unequivocally like Annabeth that he couldn't relate the taste to anything that that had eaten before. Eventually her orgasm subsided, and she released him from her core.
He sat up, a smirk on his face. Some of her fluids glistening on his chin. "How was that?"
Her chest was heaving from her orgasm. "Wow, that was just… uh."
"Felt so good you can't find your words?" He teased.
She glared at him and he laughed. She was still glaring at him as she beckoned him to come down on top of her. He did as she said and used his hands and knees to prop himself on top of her. She didn't hesitate to grab his erect cock which caused him to groan. "I want you inside me," she demanded.
"I can do that. It will be my pleasure." He stood on his knees, going to his bag which lay against the bed. He pulled out one of the foil packets that Paul had given him earlier in the day. He turned around to see her sitting on his bed, staring at him.
"What?" He asked.
"You're still wearing your underwear." She commented in a low voice. She beckoned him closer. "Let me take it off for you."
He chuckled. "I thought you liked when I wore these." She gave him a look. He hadn't even realized he was still wearing clothes. "Whatever you say." He got closer so she could run her hands down his torso grabbing the hem of his boxers, pulling them off then throwing them onto the ground. She pressed her chest against his.
She grinned. "Much better." She took him in for another kiss while running her hands down his back and down to his ass where she grabbed at the flesh and squeezed it. "You have a very nice ass."
"You think I have a nice ass?"
"What did I just say Dumbo?"
Percy grinned looking at her athletic body which was glistening with sweat. "Well, I think you have a nice… everything." She raised an eyebrow. "What? Too cheesy?"
"You're cute," she said. "You should have seen how many girls were ogling you today. I don't blame them, that swimsuit makes your ass look incredible." She kissed him again as she continued kneading his ass cheeks. "Although, your bare ass is the best one. I think I'm lucky to have you all to myself."
"So, you only like me for my ass?" He leaned down to kiss her.
She grinned. "Among other things. I have a list."
"Can I see this list?"
She kissed him. "Nope, it's a secret."
"I think I should be the one that's lucky to have you all to myself."
They kissed again. How much time had passed since they started? It felt like an eternity had passed between the start and to this moment. He placed the condom packet on the bed as they ate each other's mouth, his erection pressing against her stomach.
Annabeth separated first. Getting on all fours her face near his groin. She grabbed the condom packet off the bed. She grabbed his cock that was as hard as steel and placed it inside her mouth again, causing Percy to gasp in pleasure. She sucked him slowly, lapping the head and kissing it. She smirked when she saw the look he was giving her. She ripped the condom wrapper and took it out. She placed it on his head and gently slid it down until he was fully wrapped.
She laid on her back, spreading her legs to give him clear unobstructed access to her core. He eyed her hungrily and approached. He grabbed his cock to guide it inside. He started teasing her by flicking her clit with his cock several times. After her protests, he decided it was time to let him into her. He pushed his head in slowly, allowing her to adjust before he went in deeper.
"How are you feeling?" He asked.
Her hands went to his shoulders then his back. She gave his ass a squeeze before going to his former Achilles spot and pushing him towards her. She fully took him down to the sheath, whimpering in the process. He let out a loud "gah" from the sudden movement of being fully inside her. He didn't want to move until she gave him the go ahead, allowing her to adjust to his size.
After a couple moments she gave him the go ahead. "I'm ready," she said. He nodded and slowly started thrusting into her. He started off slow so they could get a rhythm before his thrusts became faster and stronger. She felt so warm and tight around him, her walls fully embracing him as he slid in and out. He watched as Annabeth's breasts bounced with every thrust. He leaned down to take one in his mouth while kneading the other. Annabeth's hands wondered from his back and slowly to his ass where she grabbed his cheeks and kneaded, pressing her nails on the supple flesh. She must really like his ass he reasoned.
He continued thrusting, increasing the pace and intensity as time went on. She was so warm, wet and tight that she just took him in, and he had to control himself from releasing his orgasm too early. He wanted to pleasure her above anything else.
To tease her, he fully pulled out, causing her to look confused. Then he slammed back in, his entire length going in and touching her furthest recesses.
"Percy!" She screamed. From there he continued with his previous rhythm.
Annabeth moaned and groaned as he continued thrusting into her, his hips and balls slapping against her core. Sweat was running down her body and her breathing was becoming much more ragged. He increased his pace even more, now slamming with reckless abandon causing her to scream. The bed slammed against the wall with each thrust. Her hands returned to his ass where she dug her nails into the flesh.
"Baby- you take me in so well. You're so tight!" He breathed while he faced her.
She moved her hands on his face, pulling him to her face. "Kiss me Percy!" She cried. "I'm so close!"
His mouth joined hers all while he continued thrusting. He felt his release building up inside him and he knew he wouldn't last much longer. He felt her tighten around him and that's what pushed him off the edge. She clamped around him, her orgasm flowing out of her and coating his length in her fluids. He ate the shrill scream that came out her mouth.
With one last powerful thrust he released his essence inside her, feeling the torrent of unbridled pleasure wash over him.
He wondered what it would feel like to release himself into her without the condom. The feeling of filling her up with his seed. He knew that she took her birth control, and the condom was an added measure to prevent pregnancies. Perhaps in the future he would broach the topic with her and only if she was comfortable with it. He would never want to push her into something that she doesn't feel comfortable with.
After several minutes of panting and trying to catch their breath, he pulled out of her. He had softened considerably, his huge load weighing down the condom. He felt as if he used all the remaining energy he had having sex and would need some time to recover. He wanted to lay down and sleep but had to get cleaned up first. He stood up, removed his condom, and threw it into the waste basket. He looked back at Annabeth who looking completely satisfied and mussed up.
If he wasn't so tired from today's events he would have suggested going for a round two and possibly a round three but he didn't quite have the energy right now. Instead he wanted to go back there and just lay down but they were covered in sweat and all kinds of bodily fluids. He went into his closet and pulled out some clean towels for them to wipe themselves down with. After cleaning themselves up to an acceptable degree he pulled his boxers back on. He tossed her t-shirt which she gratefully put on.
"I'm going to the kitchen to get some water. Need anything? Water, a snack, maybe another blanket?" He asked.
She shook her head. "I'm good. Thank you though."
He kissed her forehead. He picked out his discarded t-shirt from the pile and threw it on. He unlocked his bedroom door, heading into the empty kitchen. He drank a tall glass of water, feeling the water restore some of his energy. He went back to his room where Annabeth was pulling on a pair of his boxers.
Oh right, he had ripped her panties into shreds earlier. Perhaps he should apologize, but she did tell him to rip them off. He also doubted she would want to wear underwear that soaked through.
He looked her up and down, hand resting on his chin. "My boxers look nice on you by the way," he commented.
She turned around. "Well you did literally rip my underwear off. I can't wear them anymore."
"I'm my defense, you told me to do it."
"Guess it's a good thing I keep some extra clothes in your room." She then walked to his bed and gently tucked herself in, patting the spot next to her.
Before he went to her, he made sure to throw all their discarded clothes into the hamper and made that the door was locked. His parents did not need to see what went down. Afterwards, he gently tucked himself in next to Annabeth. He pulled her close to him and kissed her forehead. "That was some great sex wouldn't you say?"
She looked up to kiss his cheek. "I have to agree with you there."
He kissed the top of her head. "Want to stay over?"
She rolled her eyes. "I'm already in your bed. You're not kicking me out." She kissed his chest this time. "When will your parents be back?"
"No clue," he whispered. The exhaustion of the day was catching up to him. His eyes were beginning to droop. Before he fell asleep, he kissed her lips and pulled the blanket on top of them. "Night, Beth."
"Night, Percy," she whispered. Their breaths evened out and they fell asleep.
AN:So… that happened 😳. That smut scene was originally fade to black, but I got inspired one night and wrote that. Hope it wasn't akward and read well. I tried my best. From this point on you can expect a bit more suggestive content. I don't have another full-on smut scene planned but there will be references to sex (plenty of them like)
'Annabeth locked the door then proceeded to suck his brain out through his dick until his legs were jittery and he was lightheaded. He was far, far from complaining as she worked him through his orgasm and cleaned him up. Perhaps today wasn't such a bad day.'
'She refused to let his baby seal eyes work on her, so he went for an unorthodox tactic. He ate her out to two orgasms which caused her to reconsider his pleas and change her mind. The worst part, he had the smuggest look on his face. That little shit.'
Actually I like those lines. I'll have to see about adding them to a future chapter. You can expect small smut snippets from time to time but nothing huge like in this chapter. Maybe I'll save the full on smut for like the prom chapter or something.
