AN - First of all, Oh My Freakin Gods! Almost 300 reads! It's unbelievable. Thank you SO much... I hope you like this one shot. It's taken me so many attemps to get it to a level I think is kind of good enough. It' s still a bit rough and I'll probably edit it later. Anyway on with the story...
Percy cursed silently. How had he been so stupid? Now, because of his stupidity Annabeth had been stabbed by Ethan Nakamura. Sprinting up the stairs, he burst into the makeshift infirmary and scanned the rows of injured demigods for Annabeth. Oh Gods, he thought, What am I going to do without her? A sob of despiration almost escaped form his chest when he layed eyes on her.
She was asleep, bandaged up, on a pile of pillows on the floor. I practically bolted over to her and shifted the pillows around so she was propped up against a wall. She frowned in her sleep and muttered something I didn't understand. Grabbing her hand, I took a deep breath.
"Look...Well...Uhm, Annabeth I really don't know how to say this. Every time I look at you I get this really weird feeling in my chest and I don't know how to explain it."
"I feel so stupid for letting you get stabbed. I don't want anything to happen to you. I just can't let that happen. I will gladly lay down my life for you. And I'm scared Annabeth. Gods I'm scared. What if I lose you?"
I took her hand, and thank the Gods she was still asleep, and rested it on the small of my back. "Do you remeber when I told you I bathed in the Styx?" I aked, not caring that I wouldn't get a reply."Well this is my spot. I trust you with my life Annabeth. I'm so sorry for being a Seaweed Brain and making you cry and that you might lose Luke. Or Gods, that you could lose me. You're my best friend Wise Girl. I don't know what I would do without you. I care about you OwlHead and no matter what happens you'll always be my Annabeth and I hope I'll always be your Percy"
Then, with my fingers still leaced with hers, I sat next to her and looked at her until fatigue took over.
Annabeth's POV
I woke up in the infirmary, with Percy's head on my lap and holding his hand. His scent filled up my nose and I put my hand in his hair. What was heh doing here? Then I remembered. I was half asleep when my Seaweed Brain came into the infirmary, and I acted like I was sleeping. He shifted me around untill he thought I was comfortable and said that amazing, sweet speech to me when he thought I couldn't hear.
I bent down and kissed his cheek. "I know you care, Percy. Gods I do. I feel the same about you. Gods, you probably care too much."
"Infact," I whispered,"I love you"
