Percy Jackson one-shots

I Am in Love With Her

"I am in love with her!"
Percy screamed at the voices in his head that told him otherwise.
He cried into his pillow as he tried to get his nightmare out of his head.
The lifeless form of Annabeth Chase terrified Percy out of his sleep that night.
He sobbed quietly, as he remembered the way Annabeth screamed in his dream. It was his fault, he caused the one he loved to feel pain.
It was his worst fear, to lose the love of his life.
But that night Percy whispered the words he wouldn't dare say aloud to Annabeth's face. He confessed to being unable to love any else but her. Percy felt his chest scream in pain the way it did when Luke first betrayed him. He gasp for air as he tried desperately to breathe. He cried loudly as he relived his nightmare.
Percy wiped his puffy, red eyes and sat up in his bed. He looked around his room and counted the pictures that hanged in his room. Ten pictures in total. At least six of them with Annabeth in them. Other photos with Nico, Thalia, Rachel or his mom and Paul. He breathed heavily in and out, the sounds of the fire escape stairs alerted Percy to a visitor. He prayed to the Fates that it wasn't Annabeth.
Knowing his luck Percy then looked out his bedroom window to see Annabeth. Her long blonde hair framed her red face and soft lips as she smiled at Percy. He opened the window so Annabeth could climb into his room. Percy forgot in that moment that all he had on was his shorts. Annabeth started the conversation like usual.
"I couldn't sleep."
"Me either"
"The nightmares?"
Percy nodded as he used the dark room to hide his red eyes. He didn't want Annabeth to know he was crying. The teen hated to make her worry. Annabeth climbed onto Percy's bed and laid on top of the blankets, she wore a sweatshirt and some jogging pants. Percy felt his heart skip a beat as Annabeth patted the open space next to her. He turned red and accepted her offer. They cuddle until Annabeth fell asleep. Percy ran his hands through her wavy hair. He waited until he certain Annabeth was in a deep sleep. He kissed the top of her head and thanked the gods that he lived past the age of sixteen. He yawned as he wrapped his arms around Annabeth.

"Annabeth Chase, I am completely and utterly in love with you."

Percy then closed his eyes and fell asleep. Someday he would gather the courage to say it to her when she could hear him.
