AU where Percy is the photographer and Annabeth is the model. Enjoy;)

"Hey Percy," Annabeth exclaimed, flashing him a breathtaking smile. Percy grins.

"Annabeth, you ready?" He smirked suddenly and she rolled her eyes.

"Of coarse I am." She scoffed. Today, she was actually wearing a casual outfit, jeans, this T-Shirt, and converse. Percy loved it, and couldn't wait to take pictures. The second she got on stage he started clicking.

"So, tell me about yourself Percy Jackson." Annabeth muttered, striking a pose.

"Well, what would you like to know?" He clicked.

"What's your favorite color?"

Percy responded instantly. "Blue. What about yours?"

"Green. When is your birthday?"

"Today." Percy bit his lip, and captured the moment when Annabeth looked at him, mouth agape.

"And your working!?" She managed, going back into model mode.

"I don't mind my job really, I love it actually. It's fun, I get to see a lot of people, talk with them (well sometimes), and take pictures. Besides, after this I'm just gonna go home anyways." Percy shrugged, he never really celebrated his birthday. For him it was just another day with a bit of significance. Suddenly a person came in front of Percy's camera and he scowled. The person gave Annabeth another shirt and a necklace. The model took off her previous shirt and- Percy's jaw dropped. She was....gorgeous. Her slim waist and flat toned stomach made Percy gulp and avert his attention to his camera.

"Percy?" Annabeth said and Percy looked up to see her in a different shirt.

"Yep." He mumbled and snapped a picture.

"So, no celebrating?" Annabeth sighed.

"Nope. When's your birthday?"

"July twelfth." She said, Percy walked up to her suddenly and tucked a piece of her hair behind her ear. He made her hair gorgeously messy and altered the necklace. His fingertips skimmed her cheek and she shivered at the contact.

"Perfect." Percy exclaimed, running to his camera and taking pictures.

"You say that a lot." Annabeth noted.

"That's because you are all pretty perfect." Percy snapped another.

"Your pretty perfect too." Annabeth blushed, her back facing Percy. She turned and Percy took a picture of the faint blush on her cheeks.

"Aw, thanks Annabeth!" He exclaimed, winking at her. She blushed again and groaned frustratingly.

"Shut up!"

"Well, you're all done!" Percy exclaimed, disappointed.

The lady came out of nowhere and took the necklace. Annabeth rolled her eyes. "Hey, um- stay here okay? Be right back!" Annabeth exclaimed, running into the dressing room. Percy stared after her curiously and shrugged. He started turning off all of his equipment and putting it away, a time consuming process. When he was finally done, he turned off the studio lights and almost jumped out of his skin when he saw Annabeth at the door.

Percy yelped, clutching at his heart as Annabeth laughed. Percy regained his breathing and shook his head. "You scared me!"

Annabeth laughed,"Sorry!" Not looking apologetic at all.

"So....what's up?" Percy asked, following Annabeth out the door.

"I'm taking you somewhere for your birthday." Annabeth said, grinning. Percy snapped his head up to look at her,  shocked.
