Agent 306 - A Percabeth Story

Happy Birthday!

Annabeth wanted to scream. Ever since last month, Percy seemed to be avoiding her. She didn't know why. She did help Percy, so why in the name of hades was he acting like a jerk. Even Piper seemed to be jumpy around her. Jason would come over but he would immediately rush to Percy's room. Frank wasn't working right now. It was something about needing a vacation (she didn't understand the point of a vacation.) Hazel was acting strange whenever Annabeth tried to talk to her about Percy's irritating behaviour.

"Annabeth," Percy called, walking into the staff room. Annabeth liked the staff room because not many staff actually tended to use it. So, she could be alone with a TV (her dorm didn't have one).

"Here," she replied, annoyed.

"Hey, uh. I-I'm sorry if you felt I was avoiding you," He stammered.

"Glad you noticed," she said, sarcastically.

"Um, look I-I just need to ask you something," he said, nervously. He kept glancing towards the door as if he wanted to run out.

"Sure, whatever," she huffed.

"I-uh," he tried.

"Percy spit it out!" She said.

"Will you go out with me?" He blurted.

"I-uh I mean- I don't know if- uh," she fumbled. A million things were crossing her mind. Everything made sense. Kind of. She still didn't know why Frank needed a 'vacation' though.

"I get it," he said, looking at his feet. "You don't like me like that. I probably ruined our friendship. I shouldn't have asked. This was all my fault. You're so perfect. Why would you like me? Ugh, I'm so dumb. I'm always dumb. Stupid Percy. I sh-"

He was interrupted by Annabeth's lips on his. Annabeth surprised both Percy and herself by doing that. This kiss lasted longer than their first one. It was pretty sloppy. But Annabeth thought it was perfect. She pulled away, gasping for air. Percy did the same. He looked at her and smiled sheepishly rubbing the back of his neck.

"I'm hoping that was a yes?" He asked.

"Yes, seaweed brain," She said, smiling.

Percy started to lean in but was interrupted by Jason and Piper walking into the room. Both of them grinning like crazy.

"Percy, bro, you did it!" Jason exclaimed, walking towards Percy.

"Yeah!" Piper squealed "My best friend is dating my boyfriend's best friend!"

"Uh, guys?" Annabeth asked, disappointed that they ruined a perfectly good moment.

"Happy birthday, Perce!" Jason said, ignoring Annabeth.

"Wait, it's your birthday!" Annabeth exclaimed.

"Oh, yeah..." he said, smiling sheepishly. "I kind of forgot,"

"You FORGOT about your BIRTHDAY!" Annabeth said.

"Bro, you got problems," Jason said, looking towards Percy.

"Amnesia, maybe?" Piper suggested.

"Guys!" Percy complained.

"Sorry," everyone said in unison.

"Can you guys please give Annabeth and me some space?" Percy asked.

"Fine," Piper said, smirking.

"Have fun," Jason said, winking.

Apparently, Piper and Jason had already planned a surprise birthday party and asked Annabeth to 'just get him something'. Annabeth only knew that whatever she should get him should be blue. But, her brain wasn't working since she couldn't think of anything to get him.
