Percabeth One Shots💅🏻✨

52. Hurricane Percy

A/N: Sorry I have so many of these stupid Author's notes but this one is just to give context: Takes place in between BotL and TLO in like the winter. IDK.

Annabeth POV

Tonight I'm off to Percy's for a sleepover, just the two of us... Its not the first time, its the first time since The Battle of the Labyrinth, as the campers were calling it. We haven't talked about what happened before he blew up, if you don't know what I'm talking about... we kissed. Thats what I'm referring too. I'm about three blocks away, and the nerves in y stomach are churning and swirling like a miniature hurricane in the pits of my stomach. Hurricane Percy.

I shivered, and hit the buzzer.

"Yeah?" Seaweed Brain I thought and the butterflies got sucked up into the hurricane.

"Hey."

"Annabeth! Let me buzz you in." I heard the obnoxious buzz and the click of the lock on the door, and head up the stairs to his apartment.

I knocked on the door, and Sally opened the door.

"Hey Miss Jackson."

"Oh come on, how many times do we do this? Call me Sally." I smiled, and shouldered my bag. "Well come in! Percy's been running around cleaning for you."

"Mom!"

"Its true! You've been talking about this sleepover since you planned it!"

"Mom! Cut it out!" He came out, with a very red face.

"Hey Seaweed Brain." His face of annoyance turned into his smug troublemaker smile.

"Sup Wise Girl."

" 'Sup?' " I asked with a head tilt.

"I'm cool now, don't you know?" Sally walked off shaking her head.

"Why is that?"

"I'm the captain of the swim team."

"Cheater."

"I do not cheat!... that much." I punched his shoulder. "Rachel gives me a talking to whenever I get a time that is a bit too quick." The way he said Rachel's name made my head hurt. How steam didn't blow out my ears I'm unsure of, but grateful for nonetheless.

"How is Rachel by the way?"

"She's good. She's been really helpful when I get nervous trying to convince myself that I don't need to know the prophecy."

"Thats... nice of her."

"Yeah, I swear, sometimes she's like the coolest person at—"

"Well good for her!"

"She's been a good friend you know?" What is he trying to do to me? Is he trying to make me mad?

"I bet." 

"But uhm... How've you been?" He smiled that dam charming smile, with his gorgeous sea his head next to my lap and all I wanted to do was run my fingers through his fluffy hair.

"No tha-thats really okay. You don't want to hear me rant."

"I'm not trying to push you but I want to know whats going on with my best friend. If this guy's being a douche I'll have to teach him a lesson." He pounded his fist into his palm as she giggled. She also silently panicked. What was she going to tell him?

"I can't let you beat up a mortal, thats no fair."

"Aw come on Annabeth, you can do better than some mortal! Have you seen you?" He blushed, but I don't think he realized I saw it, he of course saw my tomato of a face. I cleared my throat awkwardly.

"Uhm- What about you? Anybody catch your eye?" Those gorgeous sea green eyes of yours.

"Well..."

"Ooh! There is someone!"

"Its just- I-I'm torn I guess."

"Oh? Do tell." I put on my best friend face and push down my aching heart.

"If I'm being honest one of them is Rachel." Okay, okay, lets just push down these feelings or else I might explode.

"And the second one?"

"I don't know exactly how she feels. We kissed last year but we never talked about it." How many people did he kiss last year! "I just wish I had a way to figure it out you know?"

"Yeah... I know what you mean. What about uhm Rachel? How does she feel?"

"I mean we've kissed a couple times but nothing major you know?" WhAt? I felt steam come out of my ears.

"Whats wrong? You have that face on?"

"I-its nothing. I'm fine."

"Rachel told me that when a girl says she's fine, she's usually mad a—"

"Would you shut up about Rachel?" I snapped.

"W-what?"

"How can you not tell that I don't like her!? Have I not given you enough signs? A-and why do you treat her
different than me?"

"What?"

"Would you stop saying what?"

"Keep your voice down. Mom and Paul are sleeping." I wanted to punch him.

"So you're dating Rachel?"

"No, definitely not. I just we make out some times but thats it. Why does it matter? Its not like..." I huffed, and blew a piece of my hair out of my face, but it just fell right back onto my forehead.

"What? Its not like what?" He looked at me, and tucked the piece of hair behind my ear.

"Answer me something?"

"Depends."

"Are you in love with Luke?" I didn't know what to say. I mean a part of me will always love Luke and put him on this undeserving pedestal. I know it's irrational, I know its insane, and that Percy is the better choice for me, but he's in love with Rachel, so why should I give up on Luke?

"I don't know. Why do you care?" He blushed. We've bee doing that a lot tonight.

"I li- You're my best friend, I just want you to be happy and if Luke's who makes you happy even though he's like seven years older than you, then I'll let you slip away. Why don't you just go join Kronos's side?"

"How can you even say that to me?"

"Luke isn't Luke. He's Kronos now. You'd think for a child of Athena you'd see whats in front of your face."

"You're one to talk."

"Whats that supposed to mean?"

"You're so blind to people's actions." He glared at me.

"Like who?" Like me! I honestly didn't have anyone off the top of my head.

"Uhm..." He waited before taking my hand in his.

"Listen, if Luke's whats going to make you happy then I'll just... I'll suck it up. I'd be a bad friend if I stopped you from being happy." That hurricane was back in the pits of my stomach. I felt like my stomach was Tartarus. Evil, tricking me, and full of unwanted things. Like feelings for my best friend.

Before I could stop myself I felt this pull towards him. He looked at my lips and looked back at my eyes. There was a hungry glint to them. When he kissed me I felt like my brain melted right out of my head.
