Percabeth Proposals

Merry Christmas, Wise Girl

A/N: Picture above is the engagement ring.

Annabeth's P.O.V

I lay on my bed alone on Christmas Eve, thinking about Percy and how I wished I could be with him but he was in New York, spending Christmas with his mum, and I was here in San Francisco with my dad and his family. It was past midnight (so technically it was Christmas morning) and I was crying my eyes out, desperately wishing that I was spending Christmas at Camp Half-Blood or with Percy and his family. Here, I got on better with my dad than ever before, but I just didn't feel like I belonged with his family. I was staring out of my window, watching the snow fall and dreaming about what I could be doing if I was in New York.

Suddenly, the doorbell rang. Who could be calling at my house at this time of night? Wiping the tears from my eyes, I walked downstairs as quietly as I could so I wouldn't wake up anyone and opened the door. Standing in the doorway, wearing a hoodie covered in snow, was my Seaweed Brain.

"Percy!" I exclaimed, leaping into his arms.

"Hey Annabeth" he grinned, spinning me around in his arms.

"What are you doing here? Aren't you meant to be in New York with your parents?!"

"I should be...." Percy scratched the back of his neck "But I-I couldn't stop thinking of you here and I.... I have a Christmas present for you....."

"Really?"

He got down on one knee and brought out a ring from his pocket "Umm... Annabeth..."

"Percy? What are you.... What...?"

"Annabeth, when Hera wiped my memory, you were the only thing that I remembered because you are the most important thing in my life... Even the queen of the gods couldn't make me forget you.... I would go through Tartarus a hundred thousand times for you. All of the things we've gone through together...." Tears began to form in his eyes "Everything that's happened to us....I would do it again in a heartbeat because it led us to where we are now.... You're my Wise Girl and I love you more than Zeus loves his lightning bolts.... Will you marry me?"

"Percy! Of course!" I pressed my lips against his, wrapping my arms around him.

He whispered in my ear "Merry Christmas, Wise Girl."
