Prompt 37: secret passage ways? Really? Are we in a gothic novel?

Rivals to lovers (pining)

Stuck in an elevator that crashed from the lobby to the basement and Percy's checking the walls which prompts Annabeth to say ^^^

Percy stepped into the elevator and immediately regretted it. At first all he'd seen was blonde hair hidden behind a binder. He didn't think anything of it... until the binder was gone.

"Chase."

"Jackson." She sneered back.

"If I'd known you were taking the elevator I would have taken the stairs."

"To the sixtieth floor- okay sure."

"Anything to avoid you."

"Please, you love me. Look at this face, I'm adorable."

"You flatter yourself."

"How can you not?! Look at me!" She opened her mouth to reply when the elevator shook and started falling the one story down to the basement.

"See what you did now!!"

"How is this possibly my fault!?"

"You opened your ugly mouth and— and scared the operating system..." she knew it was illogical but now they were stuck in the basement, with a broken elevator and no cell reception.

"Maybe if you shut yours for once we could find a way out of here."

He ran his hands on the paneling in the elevator.

"What are you looking for secret passage ways? Really? What are we in a gothic novel?"

"You would compare this to a novel you fucking geek."

"Just— find us a way put of here." She looked around nervously."

"What? Are you claustrophobic?" He smiled but it was hard for both of them to tell if it was because he found what she did adorable or annoying.

"...no"

"Aww tough miss chase is scared of something! Here I was thinking you weren't scared of anything."

"You don't really think that."

"I don't think you're human."

"Shut up. I work hard to be where I am."

"I didn't say otherwise."

"You think I'm not human. If anything you're just like a piece of seaweed."

"seaweed?"

"Yeah. You're brain is all seaweed— Seaweed Brain."

"Clever." He suppressed a smile while glaring at her. "You're a-a a wise girl."

"Please just say wise ass."

"Fuck you."

"You'll say fuck but not ass. Sure thing buddy."

"I'm not your buddy... friend."

"I'm not your friend, guy."

"I'm not your guy, friend."

"Let's just stop talking until we find a way out." She looked up and felt like an idiot. Of course. There's a vent on the top. "You're an idiot."

"Unwarranted."

"No— look up." He did and smiled.

"Thank the gods! You stink!"

"Okay seaweed boy,"
