I'm Not Mr. Clean's Daughter

P I P E R

I pulled away only for a breath.

To be honest, I wanted to stay like that forever. No matter who was watching. No matter what anybody felt about it. I sighed and my tears came to a slow stop, with my face buried into the crook of her neck. I stayed there, and my arms dropped to my sides.

It was completely silent.

Then I heard someone clap. I didn't even bother to look up to know that it was either Percy or Jason. Someone joined. Now I knew that both Percy and Jason started to clap. Soon enough, lots more joined in.

I grudgingly peeled my face away from the sweet honey-and-lemon Annabeth scent and looked away, face on fire. I heard her breathing heavily.

The clapping stopped abruptly.

"Erm, Annabeth..? I'm sorry if I went too far with that." I mumbled. She looked at me, her face stern and serious. "Piper, tell me. Do you really think I wouldn't not like you?" She asked. I nodded begrudgingly and she sighed. "Who agrees that they are the best?!" I heard one of the Stolls yell to the crowd. Cheers were heard from the crowd and I sighed. I knew they were trying to help, but it wasn't really the time for that.

"Guys, uh, moment alone, please?" I asked. They all shot each other looks, but nodded and walked off, some still chattering about Annabeth and me. I grabbed her hand and led her to my secret hollow. You know, that place where I had mentioned before? Yeah. That place.

She looked around in awe, but I snapped her back in reality.

"Annabeth, did you.. did you really mean that you liked me?" I asked nervously. She nodded. "Piper, ever since, well, ever since Jercy happened, I've kinda been a bit in love with you since... well, a bit after three-ish days after the breakup." She confessed.

I was a bit taken aback. "..Same, I guess. Except i'm pretty sure I was the one who drooled over you more." I snorted. She cracked a small grin. "Well, we just can't be too sure, now, can we?" She said. I blushed and she laughed.

"...So, I have something to tell you." I said after a while. "Yeah?"

"I love you. Sorry, Wise Girl, sorry if you don't feel the same." I said quickly. She snorted audibly. "What makes you think that? Of course, now its my turn to tell you how I really feel." she said with a small smile. "I love you too, Beauty Queen." She replied. I felt a grin sneak up into my face. "I'm gonna pop the question." She announced. I froze. "....Yeah?"

"Wanna stalk Percy and Jason for a living?" she asked.

"Ugh, no. I mean, I would, but with their "normal" amount of kissing, I would tell you to stay away. Do you know how many times I ran into them?? Do you?!?!?" I asked. She laughed. "No, but we could be like that. Official, but not official." She said cheekily. "...Normal language, please." I said. "We are together, but not, like, in a level where we're like, "LET'S GET MARRIED AND HAVE EIGHTY CHILDREN"." she explained. I laughed. "You know what? I'd like that." I said, snuggling into her chest. She smiled and wrapped an arm around me. "Me too."

We sat there for some time. Me, in her arms, relaxing, no problems at all. I would accept all my feelings.

"Love you, Annabeth Chase."

"Love you too, Piper McLean."

-le time skippy-

I sighed as we walked into camp. We were in a bit of a snuggly position. I had my arms wrapped around her and she was half walking and half lifting me to camp. That was when I decided to jump into her back. "Onwards, lackey!" I ordered. She sighed and pulled me up, before running to camp.
