By me.
Percy and Annabeth were sitting by the Camp Half-Blood lake, skipping stones and exchanging stories. After a long pause, Annabeth looked over at him, gathering her courage.
She took a deep breath, and with a serious expression, said, “Percy… I value you almost as much as the library.”
Percy blinked. “Uh… thank you?”
She gave a small nod, satisfied, then casually leaned over to Grover, who had been pretending to nap nearby but was very much awake.
In a whisper, she asked, “Grover, how was my flirting?”
Grover’s eyes shot open, and he stared at her like she’d just told him he was actually a horse. “That was flirting?”
“Yes!” she whispered, sounding defensive. “Libraries are important to me, so that’s, like, a high compliment!”
Grover stared at her, horrified. “Annabeth, you just compared your boyfriend to a bunch of dusty old books.”
Annabeth scoffed. “Okay, that’s a complete oversimplification—”
“Is it, though?” Grover whispered back, barely holding back a laugh. “Percy’s never even read a book cover to cover unless it was about fishing.”
Meanwhile, Percy was watching the two of them suspiciously, clearly catching on to the fact that they were talking about him.
He raised an eyebrow. “Uh, you guys good over there?”
Annabeth turned back to him, a little flustered. “Yep! Just… enjoying the scenery.”
“Right…” Percy looked unconvinced. “Because it looks like you’re plotting my doom or something.”
Grover barely stifled a snicker, whispering again to Annabeth, “You might as well have told him you value him as much as your left sock.”
Annabeth scowled at him. “Okay, fine. How would you flirt?”
Grover looked thoughtful for a moment. “I’d probably tell Juniper she makes the leaves look greener.”
Annabeth rolled her eyes. “That’s cheesy.”
“Yeah, well, at least she wouldn’t be wondering if I was comparing her to a library catalog,” Grover shot back, grinning.
Annabeth sighed, stealing another glance at Percy, who was still watching them with that bewildered, adorable look. “Alright, maybe I’ll try something more… obvious.”
Grover patted her on the back. “Good idea. And if all else fails, just toss him in the lake. He’ll get the message one way or another.”
