For the First Time- A Percabeth Story

Chapter 17- Just Go With It

Third Person

Percy can't believe he just asked for her permission. She probably thought that he was a weirdo. But Jason never said that he couldn't include her in it, now did he? Percy sat through the movie, awkwardly waiting. Would she even kiss him? Two more 'pirates' went by. He began to sweat under his blanket, which was strange because he didn't get hot easily. The raven haired boy slowly peeled the soft blanket away from his body and placed the blanket over Annabeth's shoulders. She did say that she was really cold before. For some reason, he couldn't get over that.  

When he put his arm around her to put the blanket on her shoulders, she grabbed his arms and left it around her. That's when he knew that she was going along with the plan. Percy relaxed against Annabeth's shoulders, his arm falling comfortably. Percy could tell that Leo was watching, flashing him a bright smile every once in a while, but Percy ignored it and kept watching the TV.

"Pirates," Piper called after Captain Jack Sparrow said it. Leo and Calypso kissed then Jason and Piper. Annabeth and Percy- nothing. Then got to the next half of the movie when Annabeth's eyes started to get heavy and Percy could see it. He would shake his arm and she would practically jump. She would stay awake about four minutes, and then drift away. Percy didn't need her falling asleep on him. Two more pirates later, she was sound asleep.

"Okay, she's officially gone," Percy announced to everyone. "Gone over to Dreamland."

"Then wake her up," Thalia said. "You do know that it's almost over."

Percy sighed. "Yeah, but she's sleeping and I kinda don't want to disturb her."

"C'mon, do you want to her to miss the end of the movie?"

"I guess not."  

He shook her until she woke up. She blinked several times and then relaxed into his chest. Annabeth let out a small, but loud kitten yawn. Percy almost smiled at how cute it was. Her grey eyes looked up into his, and he could've sworn that he saw a small smile dancing on her lips. Annabeth noticed his sea green eyes, greener and more beautiful than the ocean. She wanted to kiss his moist, pink lips, but she didn't know him that well, yet. Although she was most likely going to kiss him sooner or later tonight for the bet, she still didn't even know him. She didn't even know his favourite drink, much less his favourite colour, though she did suspect that it was blue. She wanted so badly to just kiss him right now. It was crazy how her emotions and teenage hormones raged right now. Percy was feeling the same about Annabeth. He wanted to lean down, cup her chin and kiss her lips. But he wasn't going to.

Her hand, which was curled up into a small fist, was against his chest. His hand was behind him, propping him up against the couch. With his free hand, he swiped a curl off her forehead and tucked it behind her ear. Annabeth didn't know if it was for the bet or just because. Percy wasn't so sure either. Was he showing off or did he just feel like doing it? I guess it's a mystery.

The movie was coming to an end, just about five minutes were left. They knew the last subtitle would most likely have the movie's name it is- the Pirates of the Caribbean. That's when they would kiss, and Annabeth was getting nervous about it. Her stomach flipped as she sat up and tucked her curls behind her ear. Percy blushed a little as the move ended. The words Pirates of the Caribbean filled the screen as the other two couples kissed and then Annabeth touched noses with Percy.

"Here is goes," she murmured only quiet enough for him to hear. He nodded before she placed her lips into his and moved her lips just the slightest bit so that it formed into a kiss. Thalia gasped as Jason smirked, Piper giggled and Nico sighed.

"Finally!" Leo shouted so everyone could here.

"Percy's the man!" Jason cheered, letting out a few whoop-whoops.
