Percabeth One Shots💅🏻✨

44. Stay?

This is like pure fluff btw IDK I like the fluff so here's way more. There's more to come btw.

"Percy, w-wait." He was already halfway out the door when she called out to him.

"Whats up?"

"Can you stay?" He looked a little nervous, he didn't want to hurt her. She had had a rough night already.

"A-are you sure?"

"Yeah, I think it would make me feel better." His heart almost leapt out of his chest.

"Sure. Can I get you water or a different hoodie or—"

"Would you just get in the bed please?" He nodded, even though the room was dark and she couldn't see him.

He climbed in next to her, and she pressed her back against his chest. He kissed her cheek. She blushed it he thankfully couldn't see it. He stroked her arm, trying to relax her, get her to sleep off the terrible night she'd had. Unbeknownst to him, just his presence was relaxing to her, lulling her to sleep. 

Three hours ago...

Annabeth was dragged to a party by Piper at Jason's house. All was fun and fine until Matt Sloan, and Ethan Nakamura decided they wanted something from her. Her body. She had slipped from their grips by the graces of the gods and ran straight into her best friend, Percy. Of course he was here, why didn't she think to look for him? 

"Whoa, whoa, whats wrong? Are you okay?" She just shook her head and clung to him. Then he saw what had happened just based off the look in Matt and Ethan's eyes as they came for her. He protectively stood in front of her, and 'dealt' with the two assholes.

When he was done, he took her to his house. Knowing of course her parents don't give a shit and wouldn't care if she had gotten... anyways, he took her to where he knew for a fact she would be safe. His apartment. He took her to his home and stayed in the kitchen as she showered and changed. She stole his hoodie but he was more than happy to give her the sweatshirt if she wanted to keep it.

Present

Here he was. In his own bed, with Annabeth pressed so closely against his side, he had never been so certain of the fact that she could hear or at least feel his heart beating right out of his chest.
<><><>

He was half asleep when he heard her shift.

"Percy?"

"How did you know?"

"Know what?"

"Know where I was? How did you know I needed help? How do you do that?" 'I love you' he thought

"I don't know, but hey, you should really get some sleep okay?" She rolled over so her face was in his chest, and she snuggled into him more. He kissed the top of her head and then he immediately regretted it. "I'm gonna move to the couch uhm if you need me I'll be there. Uh-m." He tried to stand up but she had wrapped an arm around him.

"No."

"Oh." She tried to pull him to her but ended up moving herself closer to him. She lifted her head and kissed his cheek. He was thankful for the room being dark because his blush was a deep red.

He couldn't sleep that night. Being because he wanted to protect her, but also because she was so close to him. Sure when they have movie nights she'd lean her head on his shoulder, but that was just for comfort. This is a deliberate decision to snuggle with him. Annabeth knew what she was doing. She had a feeling he felt the same but was always tops cared to figure it out. Afraid if he didn't feel the same she wouldn't be able to face him. Here he was though, letting her hold him, holding her back, keeping her safe, and feel loved.

"Percy?" He hummed his response. "D-do you love me?"

"Of course."

"No I mean do you love me?"

"Oh." He stopped. This is risky, what if she doesn't feel the same. "I uhm—" She sat up to look at his face, and he immediately missed her warmth. She thought she was going to cry. She really thought he did feel the same but I guess he's just a loving person. "I do." He winced at his own response, but Annabeth couldn't be happier. She surged forward and kissed him. He responded almost immediately. She ran her fingers through his hair. It was as soft as she thought it looked. Maybe fluffier. His ocean scent relaxing her, calming her heart beat, and just him. Him. Percy. Percy, her best friend, the guy she had a crush on for forever... felt the same? No way was she this lucky. She pulled away. "D-did I do something wr-" She pinched herself to make sure. When she felt it, and didn't wake up she continued kissing him. He was confused of course but thats just his Wise Girl.

She took one more risky move. She took his shirt off. Who can blame her though? His abs are... something else. Greek god level.

"Checking me out Chase?"

"So what if I am?" She smirked and kissed him again. He kissed her jawline, up to her sweet spot. How he knew about it would always be a mystery to her but she wasn't surprised at the same time. He knows practically everything about her, and still chooses to love her.
