She’s shivering and… oh gods, he hates it when she’s crying like this, when she’s crying so hard her whole body is shaking and trembling and each of her sobs make him want bury her into the earth away from the dangers, and all the horrible acts that humanity has rained upon and he just… he just…

He just wants to kill John Green. And Veronica Roth. And J.K. Rowling. And that other guy…Dames Jashner. Or James Dashner. Whatever. (Because seriously, what kind of a name is James Dashner? Is he like… dashing somewhere?).

He just wants to show them how it makes Annabeth hurt… show them how it makes her feel… show them how he has to stay up at night comforting her because

and most importantly, why is she always complaining about guys dying? This sounds a little extreme but really, couldn’t there be girls who die in those stories? Percy’s pretty confident that Annabeth’s in love with him, so he doesn’t need to worry about other guys, but keeping his jealousy in check while its 2 AM and Annabeth is crying over some dead guy that’s not her boyfriend of two years… well it’s kinda hard for Percy not to go and smash any authors for screwing with his girlfriends emotions. (Especially during PMS. Dear gods, if she reads any heart-breaking novels while she’s on the week and she’s having those mood swings, then Zeus better help them.)

Granted, Annabeth crying over books is pretty much normal. Well, not exactly normal, but he finds comfort knowing that somewhere else on the planet, there’s another poor boyfriend who has to deal with these ‘fangirl feels’. (He thinks that they should maybe team up to bash some authors).

He should totally blame Piper. She’s the one who started this. She handed Annabeth her first Harry Potter book, which led to the second… which led to the third… and the fourth… and then the fifth… and well…

seriously gives Percy a huge blow to his ego. Because, she couldn’t show weakness (a.k.a. cry) when he disappeared for 8 months (SERIOUSLY 8 MONTHS!!) but she can show weakness (a.k.a. cry) when it comes to books. So she chose crying over a book instead of crying over her boyfriend. Great.

This is how he found out why.

“Oh my gods, Percy, she-she died-Oh my gods…”

“Shhhh… it’s ok, it’s ok, it’s all gonna be fine…” Percy Jackson soothes his girlfriend who is, yet again, crying over a meaningless book character. He’s been getting tired of this. Tired of how she cares so much about just some words on paper, and how she can destroy him with just a few sobs, tired of not being able to understand.

Percy’s not a dumb guy. He’s quite intelligent actually, just extremely obtuse. He’s been able to understand every problem that’s been presented to him. Until now.
