"Mmmmm....blue." Percy guessed.

"Okay you're definitely cheating!" I threw down the bag of M&M's I was holding and Percy opened his eyes and laughed at my expression.
"There is no way you can just tell what colour it is without looking."

Percy sat up from where he was lying down on my couch, taking his feet off of where they were resting on my lap. It was Friday afternoon and we were waiting for my little brothers Bobby and Mathew to get home from their elementary school.

"I don't need to see, I can taste it."

"M&M's don't have a taste, it's just all chocolate!" I pouted.

Percy then placed his feet onto the coffee table in front of him. "You're just not experienced enough in the candy field."

I rolled my eyes. "You're right some of us can't sit around all day eating crap like this and still stay in perfect shape." I poked him in the stomach only to feel the study form of ab muscles beneath. The boy had to have magic powers or something because I don't think I've ever seen him exercise outside of football practise.

Percy chuckled softly grabbing the bag of M&M's I threw onto the table.

"Annabeth! Annabeth! Annabeth!" Bobby and Mathew burst through the door screaming in unison.

"What?" I asked turning around. 8 year old brothers were hard enough as is, make them hyperactive twins and it was like a war between forces.

"Guess what we found?" Bobby asked sweetly, his hands behind his back.

"What?" I asked carefully, Percy watching in amusement behind me.

"This!" Bobby cried shoving his incredibly dirty, incredibly mud covered hands into my face. I couldn't see what he was holding until a toad leapt into my lap.

"Oh my god you guys!!" I stood up quickly, dumping the poor thing on the floor. Whe the hell did you get that!!"

"At the creek behind the house." Matthew picked up the toad and Bobby still giggled at me.

"Well put it back."

"What, why?"

"Can't we keep him?"

"Please!"

"No, we can't," I ordered. "Mom said no pets, if that's what you consider that thing."

"Aww come on Annabeth, I think he's cute." Percy stood up and rested his arm on my shoulder, his breath now tickling my ear, I could feel goosebumps racing across my skin at this and my heartbeat quickened. I have no clue why as Percy's done this multiple times before and it's never felt different until now.

"Of course you would." I retorted. "You like anything that looks like you."

Percy plucked the toad from Matthew's hands, and held him up to his face. "We do look pretty similar don't we?" He posed as though modeling, which did look kinda stupid with a toad cradled right next to his check.

"It's practically identical, right down to the warts and everything,"
Percy lowered his hands and Matthew snatched the creature back.

"Now go put that back in the creek and run back here quickly, dad wants to go out tonight to celebrate mom's promotion." I called after the twins retreating backs.

As I turned Percy was staring at me, his eyes narrowed like he was trying to be mad but I could see a slight smile on his face.

"What?" I asked innocently.

"I hate you, you know." The smile on his face was becoming more prominent to show his dimples.

I crossed my arms, "Really? Because the smile on your face says differently."

We stood still for 10 seconds just staring at each other, before pushed me back onto the couch before flopping down ontop of me tickling me everywhere. It wasn't fair he knew I was ticklish.

"Per-Percy stop!" I gasped as I laughed. "Stop it!"

"Not until you apologize for comparing me to a toad!" His hands poked and prodded at my sides as I squirmed around, he was practically sat ontop of me squeezing the air out of my lungs.

"F-fine," I gasped. His hands went still. "I'm sorry... For the toad, it must have been awful to be compared to something like you."
The tickling resumed and I fought to try and escape his grip but Percy was way too strong. He pinned my arms above my head, smirking.

"Well now what do we have here?" A voice called out.
We both froze at the voice, neither of us daring to look up, finally Percy crumbled and turned his head towards the front door.

"Ummmm hi Mrs.Chase."

___TIME SKIPPITY SKIP____

"This place is lovely honey," my mom leaned over to kiss my dad and I looked away, seeing your parents kiss has always been and always will be an eery sight.

"It's the best you deserve." My dad replied, okay honestly could they not save it till after we were all gone to bed.

"So Annabeth?" My mom asked, I turned my head from watching all the people in adjoining booths to the conversation.

"Hmm?" I hummed.

"What's up with you and Percy?"

Really she was just going to be that blunt about it, no questions leading up like 'how was school today? Learn anything new?' Nope just 'have you got a boyfriend yet?'

"Mom!" My cheeks flushed red. "Percy and I are just friends and you know that!"
And she should Percy and I had been best friends since kindergarten when he stole my cookies at lunch and I got my revenge by putting bubble gum in his hair. We been through everything together and despite everyone always thinking we're a couple we're just friends. I mean yeah he's a good looking guy, messy dark hair, bright green eyes, a few freckles and of course the dimples, he has every girl in school falling over his feet but I've never seen him as anything more. I mean yeah sometimes when his nose scrunched up when he laughs it's kinda cute or when he grabs my hand it's kinda nice or that lately I've been catching myself thinking about him more often than I used to but I mean we're just friends...Right?

A/N okay, two parter? Possibly! so not a lot of percabeth stuff in there but I'm thinking that if I do go through with that whole story thing this might be part of one of the chapters and I'll continue this story on in there or if I don't I'll just write a shorter condensed version and finish it in these one shots. I hope you guys somewhat enjoyed this one and don't worry even if I don't make a full story out of this I will at least finish it I promise that but um otherwise bye for now!!!!
