Sixty: Annie are you okay, are you okay Annie?

PERCY

"Annabeth?" Percy shook Annabeth's shoulder again. She groaned and swatted him away. She typically wasn't the kindest if you woke her up. Really, she wasn't the kindest no matter what Percy did. Maybe it was her love language or something. "Annabeth, I need to talk to you."

"Go away!" Annabeth placed her hand on Percy's face and shoved him into the hammock behind him. "I'm sleeping!"

Percy got back up anyways. "Annabeth, get up before I get in the hammock with you."

"Arrrrghhh!" Annabeth groaned and swatted Percy away again.

"Fine. You asked for it."

"Wha- HEY!"

Percy sat on the opposite ends of the hammock, using Annabeth's shoulders as a footrest. Annabeth groaned loudly again and finally opened her eyes to look at Percy. He raised his eyebrows and shrugged.

"I said I would do it."

Annabeth wiped one of her eyes. "Percy, what the Hera do you want?"

Percy felt very awkward talking about this. He'd rather have a conversation like this with his mom- she was always understanding, and she'd know what to do- than with Annabeth. Annabeth, of course, was one of Percy's best friends. But, well, she was a bit of an imp when it came to emotions.

Percy rubbed his arms. "I need to tell you something."

Annabeth's eyes went wide. "No no no no no. No. The last time a boy said that to me-"

"Annabeth, let me speak." Percy groaned as he stared at Annabeth. She crossed her arms over her chest and sat up, probably to keep herself awake, and probably so she could punch Percy easier if need be, though she could do that when laying down. The girl had arms longer than the Nile. "How... have you ever had a crush?"

Annabeth's face went red. "Percy, I really don't like where this is going."

"Answer me."

Annabeth started playing with her hair. "Yeah. A little. Why?"

"How did you know it was a crush and not a friend?"

"Percy-"

"Answer me!"

Annabeth was silent for a very long time. "Well, I felt differently about my crush than about the rest of my friends."

Percy bit his fingernails. Differently about my crush than about the rest of my friends. Well, Percy didn't have a whole lot of friends. But his go-to would probably be a comparison of Sen and Annabeth.

How did he feel about Annabeth? Well, he'd take a bullet for her... but he'd also take one for Grover and his mom. He'd defend her, but Percy defended random strangers all the time. He liked hanging out with her when she wasn't being mean, but Percy liked hanging out with his mom and Grover, too.

But Sen... Sen was extremely different. She was on his mind all the time, infiltrating every single corner, every single thought in Percy's head. He'd dream about it, compare everyone and everything to her, always wish she were with him to give him the answers. He wanted to spend every minute with her. He wanted to protect her at any cost. He never wanted her to stop being excited to tell him the most random things. He never wanted her to give up. He hated seeing how sad she was when Circe told her she needed to do more about herself. He always wanted the best for her.
