percabeth one shots :)

are you stalking me?

timeline: correlates with the second episode of the new show on Disney Plus and then a flash forward to them after Tartarus. 

I used some of the dialogue from the episode so it's kind of a spoiler if you haven't seen the show yet. 

hope you enjoy! 

The Lightning Thief- Age Twelve 

Percy stood up, looking up as he watched Clarisse and her band of thugs run off and out of the bathroom. Taking a deep breath, he got to his feet and noticed someone standing there out of the corner of his eye. 

A girl with jet black hair and dark skin was leaning against the entrance, her stormy eyes staring down at him with a smirk on her face. She seemed complex, like someone who could discover his darkest secrets with one glance, but there was another side of her. A side that Percy felt extremely drawn to. He just didn't understand why. 

"I- I can explain." 

The girl shook her head. "No, you can't." 

"Okay...." Percy mumbled, trying to regain his composure. She seemed to be too smart for her own good. However, he recognized her. Then it clicked. "Wait, I know you." 

"No, you don't," She shot back, her arms crossed. 

"Yeah, but- but you were there. That night in the infirmary," Percy said, stepping a little closer. He remembered being half awake, seeing her standing above his bed. Like she was watching over him or something. She looked so pretty... 

"Yes." the girl nodded, her guard slowly coming down. "I'm Annabeth." 

She even had a pretty name... Then Percy stopped himself. Wasn't this the girl Luke told him about? His little sister or something? Percy wasn't stupid, he knew she had been watching him. But he couldn't fully wrap his head around why. Luke told him that she watched over newcomers, but why was she watching him so closely? It made him wonder if she knew something she didn't. "Are you stalking me, Annabeth?" 

Yeah, maybe not the best thing to say. 

But Annabeth didn't seem phased by it. She nodded and replied, "Yes." 

Percy felt himself nodding, confused by the fact that she seemed so comfortable. She wasn't confused or concerned, she didn't even ask if he was okay or what he did. She just stood there. Percy felt his words come out like vomit. "Okay... why?" 

Annabeth smirked again. Percy just felt more confused than ever. Most girls didn't talk to him, much less stalk him the way Annabeth was. Many of them treated him the way Clarisse or Nancy did. Like trash. But she didn't. "Well, I've been waiting to see if something like this would happen. So, I'd know you could help me." 

"Help you with what?" 

"Win Capture the Flag." Yep, definitely not the answer that Percy was expecting. And without warning, Annabeth turned around and walked away, leaving Percy alone in the girl's bathroom like an idiot. But he had a strange feeling. Like something was going to happen. Like maybe he would be friends with her. Eventually. 

Blood of Olympus- Age Sixteen (Annabeth's seventeen I believe) 

Percy was practicing with his sword on a dummy on the Argo Two. Leo had somehow been able to take dummies from camp so they could practice on them while on their quest. And even though Percy really didn't need to practice, he needed to think.
