I'll Follow You Into The Dark

I'll Follow You Into The Dark

"Guys should we really do this?" She asked them. Her composure was insecure, so he grabbed one hand of hers, entangling it with his.

"Yeah, I'm kinda scared." His best friend, Grover, confessed. "Though you don't have to grab my hand!"

Percy laughed and walked over to him grabbing his hand as well.

See, they were standing on this cliff, planning to jump from it into the ocean. Percy had done it lots of times but his friends weren't so sure of it.

"We're just going to run and jump. Nothing can happen to you and I'll just drag you with me so you don't almost jump and then fall down and die."

"What if we fall while running?" Annabeth asked, frowning a bit.

"Then we stand up and run again." He deadpanned. When he looked at their doubting faces he sighed and then put a big smile on. "Come on! It's going to be great! And the water doesn't really hurt." He tried to convince them.

"Easy for you Mr. I was basically born in the water." Annabeth sneakily replied.

He didn't reply and only took a step back, "Okay maybe it does hurt the first time, but you're going to love it!" Percy confessed as he already started running before one of them could reply.

They were nearing the end of the cliff, adrenaline and hearing the blood rush in his ears. He could vaguely hear himself shouting jump to his friends and luckily - thank the Gods - they did.

He screamed a triumphant shout as they fell down and eventually fell into the water.

He let go of both of their hands and was smiling so wide that he could feel pain in his cheeks.

"That was amazing!" He shouted, though they didn't seem to agree. Grover just shook his head at him, probably thinking that he was crazy, looking bewildered. While Annabeth kept an angry stare at him though when he stared back she broke out in a grin and hugged him closely, jumping into his arms.

"You two are crazy." Grover muttered, lying down in the water, relaxing.

Annabeth smiled widely as well, but got a more serious look as she looked longer in his eyes. He looked back intensely, never getting enough of those eyes though Annabeth got bored after a while and leaned down to kiss him.

Did he forget to mention that Annabeth was also his girlfriend?

They had been friends since forever and eventually got together when Grover, their other friend, forced them to confess their feelings.

"You're also gross." Grover muttered and that shook them out of their daze. They both sheepishly apologized and let go of each other joining Grover, lying down in the water. Though Percy didn't let go of her hand and was overjoyed that she didn't either.

"Join our army!" Mocked Grover as they walked past a poster with the advertisement for all the young guys to join the army. It was a silly and stupid war in Percy's opinion; only about some pride and greediness between kings.

Percy laughed and looked aside at his girlfriend Annabeth, who we had his arm slung around.

"What, Anna? Was my impression not good enough? Because that is how they sound." Grover added.

"They're going to add conscription." She muttered, looking straight ahead.

"What?" Percy asked bewildered, "How do you know?"
