Percy X Annabeth Imagines

Latin Lesson

*Percy's POV* 

        We sit on the pourch of my cabin, the high noon sun scourching our skin. Annabeth sits opposite of me, with her nose crammed into the latin book that she is helplessly trying to help me understand. The difference between her and I, she is smart. I peer down to the page and all I see is a pile of letters that I won't ever be able to understand, yet somehow when the words roll off her tounge I can understand them.

        Looking off to the distant shore I focus on the timely waves crashing onto the grainy sand. Today was the perfect day to be out on the water. No. I have to focus on Annabeth. Looking back to her, I stare at her while she rambles on about something in latin. I love the way her nose twitches when she gets focused, the little crinkles on her face becoming more prominent. 

"Percy? Are you even paying attention?" her voice is like music to my ears.

"Yeah. You were saying something in latin." I focus. 

"You are lucky I like you." she averts back to her book. 

        It never ceases to amaze me, that even when she is angry with me, I still find her to be the most beautiful person I have ever come to know. The way the sun bounces off of her skin giving her a radiant glow, or how her eyes are always filled with wonder. I can feel my heart to pick up speed, the thumping in my chest echoing though my body. 

"Hey Annabeth..." I trail off. 

"In latin please!" she shakes her head. 

"Te respice pulcher. Tu omnia ad me. " I rest my hand on her knee. 

        As my hand falls to her knee, she starts to smile at me. Her smile could be seen from a million miles away. Little did she know that to me, she is my world, my moon, and all the stars. She shifts in her seat a little, closing her book that rests in her lap. She flumbles with the outer hem of her jean shorts as her cheek begin to glow, just another thing that I love about her. 

"Remember when we were in that old, run down water park? We were 12." I smile at her. 

"Yes I would not like to live that moment again. What about it?" her cheeks come a bright shade of chrimson. 

"When we were being surrounded by those spiders," I pause, "I realized something. Something that will change my life forever. I know we are young and I know that we have only been together for  a short while but in that moment I recongized that I love you. I love you Annabeth Chase. I don't care if our parents hate eachother, because I love you and I'm too selfish to allow their old rivarly to affect that feeling."

"Oh percy." her lips pull into a smile. 

        My hands are shaking at this point. The wind around us blows her golden curls away from her face. I peer around to me sure no one else heard that before I look back at her. I have waited four years to tell her that. Four long years of sitting by her side, each of us getting hurt along the way and all I wanted to do was tell  my undying love for the daughter of Athena. I could scream it out up to the heaven past the cotton clouds where the gods reside. 

"How do you say I love you in latin?" I ask her. 

"Ready say it with me. Te Amo." 

        I watch as her words roll right off of her tounge, her lips bringing forth words that were second nature to her. She clutches her bead necklace, her dainty fingers rolling the black bead with the trident on it. I will forever be a part of that necklace, and I hope to the gods that she wears it forever. Despite everything that is stacked against us, we always find a way to make things work and I know that this is no different. I knew this is where I want to be, right in the presence of her. 

"What is going on here?" grover clops up to the porch. 

        Annabeth and I break away from eachother's gaze, shifting our weight so that we weren't as close to eachother. Grover with one eyes raised starts to back up, his hooves chattering against the wooden floors. 

"This is a bad time. I am just going to go." He slowly backs away. 

"ah Don't worry about grover. He won't tell anyone." I assure. 

        She flicks her eyes back down to her book and she continues to trach me Latin. This is where is ADHD in me starts to kick in and I suddenly can't sit still. 

"Hey why don't we go for a walk?" I suggest. 

        She nods her head and we roam over to the shoreline. As we walk the waves crash against our feet leaving a white, salty foam grasping our ankles. Little seashells crunch under our feet as we pass them by. The gulls swarm over the docs, their calls give us white noise. The sun relfecting off of the water causes a radiant dance of light as we meander down an unknown path. 

"So you never told me if you loved me back?" I bite my lip. 

"Well of course I do seaweed brain. I thought you would never catch on." 

        She gently shoves me inside the water as she makes a beeline for the campsite. She was so ardorable as she slips through the sand in order to get away from me. Good thing I can out run her.
