Percy X...
The door to the broom cupboard slammed open causing the two teenagers to spring apart, both panting heavily. Their eyes were wide in shock as they looked at Professor Dionysus who stared back at them in disgust.
"Detention."
Later that evening, the two of them met in front of the Potions classroom and entered together. Dionysus had left a seemingly endless amount of dirty cauldrons for them to clean. Annabeth sighed and put on her gloves wanting to get this over with as quickly as possible.
"You know, it's kind of a tradition to get caught in a broom cupboard, right?" Percy asked, smirking at her.
Annabeth rolled her eyes but the smile on her face was unmistakable. "Just clean your cauldron, Seaweed Brain."
It was dark and dinner was nearly over when the two had finished with detention. They would undoubtedly have blisters on their hands come the morning. And Annabeth was sure she'd be getting another heated letter from her mother but she couldn't bring herself to care too much.
Becoming friends with Percy again and their relationship blossoming into something so intimate and heartfelt made her feel light on her feet. She glanced down at their intertwined hands and smiled. These small moments were sometimes the most meaningful.
Then, of course, he had to go and ruin it.
"So that was one hell of a first date, huh?"
"That was a date?" Annabeth deadpanned, staring at him, unamused.
"Uh, no—nope. Most definitely not a date. But... you, me, and a couple of butterbeers and Shepherd's pie down at the Three Broomsticks this weekend. That—that could be a date?"
Percy's cheeks were most definitely not flaming right now. And he certainly did not have the cheesiest smile on his face.
Annabeth was stunned. She opened and closed her mouth a few times before reaching up and tugging Percy down by the tie. Ignoring his yelp of surprise, she pulled him in for a sweet kiss, hoping he'd understand her unspoken emotions. She leaned into him, sighing blissfully as his arms came around her and squeezed her waist.

When they pulled away, a beautiful smile spread across her face as she lightly stroked his cheeks.
"I could be down for that."
