Mortals Meet Percabeth/ Percabeth one-shots

Skip a Beat

Sorry, demigods. My mind has been blank and I've had a huge Writer's block, so I've just decided to write this awesome story called Skip a Beat from fanfiction.net. I don't own it, it completely belongs to its creator, September Light. So, yeah. I don't own it, (except for some grammar checks) I'll come out with Gone Awry 2 in a couple of days. 

She's sixteen years old and she thinks her heart skips a beat whenever Percy says her name.

She's angry, screaming at him and punching him and she can't help it- the hot unbearable blood is pulsing through Annabeth's veins and infuriating her in such a way that makes her violent and irrational.

"Gods, I hate you, Percy, I hate you so, so, much," she screams, her voice breaking.

But then Percy's arms are around her, holding her tight to him. His nose buries in her blonde hair, and she's trying to pull away, away, away - but he's too strong for her. Each attempt she makes, the punches, the kicking the struggling, merely disappears weakly on his unharmed immortal body.

But Annabeth gives in, finally. It's much faster than she would've liked, but she can't help it, he's just so warm and comforting and Annabeth thinks she'd like to stay there for a long, long time.

She feels herself calming down almost instantly, her rough jagged breathing starting to meet his deep, steady one. His sweet scent is intoxicating her- the salty smell of the Son of the Sea God.

She doesn't notice she's crying until he's rubbing her back reassuringly and murmuring beautiful words into her ear-

And she's soaking his shirt with her tears and her quiet sobs are echoing throughout the empty room.

Percy's dips his head down, tilting it upward so he can look her in her calculating gray eyes. Annabeth almost wants to laugh, because there was once a time where she stood a head above him- and it's just not fair that growing up shot him up to tower above her.

She's looking right in his beautiful sea-green eyes and swears she can read every true emotion that his eyes so proudly show.

"Annabeth Chase," Percy says, breath almost as sweet and gentle as the ocean breeze tickling her hair. He smiles and her heart is jumping and Annabeth hates him for it because he knows that he can take her breath away just by saying her name.

He looks like he wants to say more, but he's holding back, biting his lip and blinking cutely- because he's never been good with the relationship stuff.

So when Percy finally kisses her, she's smiling.

He'll never tell her, but sometimes he lets Annabeth win at their Mario Kart playoffs.

She doesn't seem to put together that the number of times (27 and counting) he falls off Rainbow Road is not because his "hand-eye coordination needs some work" or that "gosh, Percy, you have no control," but because he loves to let her win.

Annabeth teases him, insults him and tells him that he has no game, that she can beat him at anything asleep. She calls him names that aren't entirely original like the loser or stupid or the ever so popular Seaweed Brain, but it doesn't irritate him one bit.

Percy can take it. He can take the bad talk and the competitiveness of his girlfriend, and he can lash out some too, "Oh, next round, you're going down." 

But it's all worth it in the end, seeing the huge grin break out on her face, her eyes sparkling when she beats him- and in that single moment, she looks like the most beautiful person in the world.

And that's why he does it.

"Come on Seaweed Brain, you can do better than that!" Annabeth yells, her voice taunting from across the battlefield. She's smiling, a huge grin and laughing because even though he's mostly indestructible- it's pretty much hilarious seeing him get virtually abused by a manticore as he stumbles clumsily with Riptide.
