Annabeth kissed her boyfriend while rolling her eyes (hey, she was a daughter of the cleverest goddess around – she could multitask. Plus, Percy was being an idiot again. What else is new, she thought, pushing Percy away but conveniently leaving her hands on his chest. Gods, she loved his chest – it was so warm and inviting and yet at the same time so defined. Annabeth supposed that that was what years of training did for a guy who was already both hot and fit to start with.
“Why don’t you think before this word vomit comes out of your uncensored mouth, Seaweed Brain?” Annabeth loved that nickname (well duh, she made it up) and the reason for her attachment to it – which was buried deep into her subconscious - was its connection to not only Percy but to the development of their relationship.
“Nope.” He replied cheerfully, popping the ‘p’ like he always did. Annabeth pretended it annoyed her, though really she had grown to love it. But hey, she didn’t want Percy to know that she was completely whipped. “It just comes with the rest of my charm, Wise Girl.”
Annabeth scoffed at this. “Can’t you think of a better nickname for me than Wise Girl, Seaweed Brain? It’s kinda lame.”
His brow furrowed in deep thought. “How about… Annie?” Annabeth shook her head vigorously, pressing her lips together so hard that they turned white. That had been Luke’s name for her, and as much as she loved them both, she didn’t want the memories of her seven-year-old hero to be tainted with that of another person, albeit the love of her life.
“Owl head?” he tried again, but it was again rejected.
“Snarky ass?” Percy tried to look innocent as he said this but failed miserably, his mouth stretching across his face in a wide smirk. Annabeth’s jaw dropped and she pushed her boyfriend playfully into the sand, rolling to lie on top of him.
“Don’t you go around saying things about my ass, Perseus Jackson.” Percy made an ‘oh-no-you-did-unt’ face at the appearance of his full name, but immediately replied to Annabeth’s statement in a teasingly lovestruck sort of way, giving her a peck on the lips between every word for emphasis.
“But – I – Can’t – Help – It, - It’s – Just – Too – Dam – Cute!” He finished, his hand claiming Annabeth’s lower back while her face grew distinctly warmer. Her heart fluttered at the use of their inside ‘dam’ joke, which he had told her after he so heroically rescued her and held the sky for her – that had to be the true test of how much a boyfriend loved you.
She’d promised herself that day that she’d learn to control herself around him, that she’d stop feeling all these butterflies in the bottom of her stomach – but that had been years ago, and the feeling was still as strong as it had been at the end of the first quest, when she’d first started to fall for him. If anything, it had only got stronger, so that she had even less control over how she behaved around him than she did then, but at least he was hers now. He was hers. Her hands tangled ferociously in his black hair as she deepened the kiss, pulling so viciously that she was sure it must hurt, but Percy only moaned in pleasure biting her lip gently, encouraging her to be brave. Annabeth took a deep breath, and took her shirt off.
Annabeth Chase had been betrayed, heart-broken, ecstatically happy and breathless from fighting monsters, but never before had she stood in front of a guy topless, or felt such exhilarating adrenaline. And Percy’s gaze was intent, staring at her, before flicking back up to meet her eyes; she’d never seen such passion, such lust dance in and around his pupils.
She turned around to face the ocean, feeling his warm chest on her back – his heartbeat pulsed at a ridiculous speed, as though he was fighting Gaea herself. Percy held Annabeth tightly and she felt the safest that she ever had as they kissed gently once again and watched the sun sink lower into Long Island Sound.
