Swim meet

The bleachers were overflowing when Annabeth finally arrived at the swim meet. She was hoping she wouldn't be late and end up missing Percy's race. He'd casually invited her to come to one of his meets, and Annabeth decided it wasn't going to do any harm to show up. Still, now that she was here, it seemed like a very couple-ish thing to do, but she was already here so she might as well stay.

"PERCY WE LOVE YOU!!"

Annabeth frowned and turned to see a group of girls jumping and cheering, holding signs even for Percy. He must have been some sort of celebrity athlete or something. Come to think of it, Annabeth only knew that he swam, not if he was any good at it. The teams weren't even out yet, she didn't know why they were cheering for him already. It was kind of annoying, Annabeth realized. Maybe it was a mistake to come.

Then the swimmers began to stream into the pool area from the locker rooms, and Annabeth decided maybe it wasn't a mistake to come. All the swimmers were toned and half-naked, so it wasn't even like she was ogling them. Annabeth was totally fine if she got to see some shirtless guys with lots of lean muscle.

The girls started to go crazy again, and Annabeth assumed that Percy'd finally shown up, and she looked around for him. When she saw him, Annabeth couldn't help the pathetic noise that escaped from the back of her throat. He was wearing a swim suit that hugged his legs and looked like longer compression shorts more than anything else, and he was, more importantly, naked from the waist up. It wasn't like Annabeth hadn't seen him naked before, but somehow seeing him like this for a sports event made him look so much hotter. He was as lean as all the other swimmers, but his back and abdominal muscles had much more definition than almost all of them. His speedos also didn't leave a whole lot to imagination if she looked hard enough.

Increased screams brought Annabeth out of her blatant ogling, and she suddenly realized that Percy was totally on display for all the girls there. If she could see that his speedos weren't doing a whole lot of keeping things a mystery, so to say, then it was obvious that the other girls would be able to see it too. She frowned and looked at them again and, to her dismay, noticed how a lot of the girls seemed to be staring holes into his swim suit. It was a little perverse, she supposed, but it wasn't like she wasn't guilty of it either. Either way, Annabeth felt more than a little upset that they were basically objectifying him and viewing him like a slab of meat more so than a person.

Percy finished his stretches and looked up at the stands, quickly glancing over all the people sitting in the bleachers until his eyes came to rest on her. A huge, goofy smile broke out across his face, and he waved at her. Annabeth found herself waving back even though she didn't consciously want to. There was something about his enthusiasm and happiness to see her that made her do it, she supposed.

"Annabeth!" he said, still waving his hands.
She couldn't help the smile that broke out across her lips. "This better not be a waste of time, so you better win, dumbass," she said.

His entire body shook with quiet laughter as he pressed his hand against his mouth to keep the sound from escaping. It looked like he was going to say something when his coach started yelling at him to stop fooling around. He gave her one last look and smile before he warmed up with the rest of his team members.

"Who's she? Is that his girlfriend? Percy's not single?" - these were all things that Annabeth heard from Percy's
cheerleading squad, and she couldn't help but smile. At least now they'd be quiet.

Seeing Percy swim was something of a religious experience, Annabeth decided. There was something that was oddly
beautiful about the way that he seemed to cut through the water like he was dancing with it. Even though all the other
swimmers were experienced too, they didn't seem as in tune with the water as he did. They were just in the water, but Percy seemed like he was apart of the water. Sure, it was cheesy, but it's just what it looked like.

On a secondary note, it was also one of the few moments where she could truly appreciate Percy's entire back side of his body. She'd never really seen him from the back even when they were sleeping together at home. Now, she had to admit, Percy had a terrific ass. On top of that, his back muscles were god tier or something because it looked like it was sculpted or something.

He ended up winning first place for the 100 meter freestyle, and Annabeth actually cheered him on even though she wasn't the kind of person that cheered for people really. Maybe she was just caught up in the moment. She waited for him to come out of the locker room after the meet, and when he did finally come out, he grinned at her.

"Did ya have fun? Percy asked.

Annabeth shrugged, struggling to suppress a smile, as they walked out onto the street. "It was okay. You should go to
the gym more though, you were easily the least physically impressive out all the swimmers," she said.
Percy gave her an upturned eyebrow. "Is that so?" he asked.

"Yeah, do you even lift, bro?"

At this, Percy couldn't help laughing, and Annabeth found herself laughing along with him. Maybe this wasn't so bad. Being with Percy, she meant. Sure, sometimes he royally pissed her off, but he was better than most guys she'd met. Maybe they could revise their arrangement. After all, they were both still single. It was tempting to think about.

"What're you thinking about?" he asked, giving her a sidelong glance.

"Oh, nothing. Are you aware that you're getting ogled by a group of girls at your swim meets?" she asked.

"Ogled?" he asked, smirking.

"Yeah, they were undressing you with their eyes, not that your speedos leave much to imagine, you know," Annabeth said.

Percy raised his eyebrows and bit back a laugh. "Were you staring at my junk through my trunks, Annabeth? Sounds like you were the one doing all the ogling," he said.

Her face turned uncomfortably hot and prickly as blood rushed to her cheeks. "I was not! I just looked over at them, and a lot of them were looking and I kind of just looked too to see what all the commotion was about," she sputtered.

"Sounds like you're jealous," Percy crowed.

"Jealous? Fuck off, Seaweed Brain. I just thought it was disrespectful to objectify you like that, but I guess you don't care about that, do you?" Annabeth said, her tone lacking any bite.

Percy just laughed. "I'm just joking, and I appreciate your concern. I guess I'll have to go buy new swim trunks then," he said with a sigh.

"No!" Annabeth blurted.

When Percy looked at her with a barely constrained smirk, Annabeth wished the ground would swallow her whole.

"You're hot in your swim suit, okay? Sue me," she grumbled.

"Wow, if I'm not mistaken, that's the first time you've paid me a compliment, but it's good to know you only like me for my body."

"Eat shit and die, asshole," Annabeth mumbled.

Percy laughed and threw an arm carelessly around her shoulder, pulling her in close, and Annabeth felt a spark shoot through her as her arm bumped against his chest. He pressed a quick kiss on her hair, and Annabeth felt her face get impossibly hotter.

"Thanks for coming today," he said. "It really meant a lot."

"Yeah, whatever," Annabeth said, trying to play it off. "I had fun, I guess," she added begrudgingly.

"I'm glad," Percy said.

Annabeth just hummed in response. His arm was still around her shoulder. It was so easy, so easy to just go along with it, so she did. She would never admit it, but this kind of thing felt nice. She'd let this slide, just this once, she decided. It was okay if they acted coupley for a day. Her last thought before they walked into the apartment lobby was that she could definitely get used to this.
