Percabeth One Shots

Sibling Love

Sibling love

Estelle loved her brother. He was her hero even though she didn't know some details about his life.

He was 17 when she was born and already planning to move out. Percy moved out when he was 18 when he did move out and went to a university in a place called New Rome.

"Why don't you like your birthday?" Estelle asked her brother when she was six. She had noticed that Percy was always a little depressed on August 18th.

"Well Estelle..." And he put her on his lap. "A lot of friends of mine died on my birthday. And my birthday reminds me more of it. But a lot of good happened too. I am a year older and wiser. Annabeth and I got together." He tickled her. "And of course mom bakes me a blue cake."

Estelle later learned when she was fourteen the whole truth about Percy. She was angry at first that everybody had lied to her.

"You lied! You said that you loved me but lied about such a huge part of your life!" She began sobbing now, while her brother looked at her with sympathy. "Why?"

"Estelle... I do love you. You are my little sister, but mom and dad decided that it was for the best that we kept that part of my life a secret. It would only confuse you and it is all so serious and you would have had to keep it a secret too. And we didn't want that for you. I didn't want that for you. I was twelve when I found out and it was intense and serious from then on."

He looked at her with all seriousness in his eyes. "But it also brought me so much good. I met Annabeth, Grover and so many other friends. And come on I can control water." He smirked with tears in his eyes.

"But you know now. So you can ask me anything. Or mom or dad or Annabeth."

The anger subsided and she hugged him. And then there were a lot of questions.

"You really served in two wars? Who is your real dad? Is Annabeth a demigod too? Do they know? So monsters are real? Can you show me sometime how you control water? What is the worst you have been through?"

Percy just chuckled. "Yeah, I was 16 and 17. My dad is Poseidon, but we don't speak a lot. I see Paul; your dad more as a dad. Yeah Annabeth is a daughter of Athena. By they I think you mean our children?" With a slight nod from Estelle he continued. "No, when they are older. We decided to tell them later. Otherwise monsters can attack them. Uhm... yeah unfortunately monsters are real. And they would love to eat me." He smiled again. "Sure we can go to Montauk sometime. And uhm... it's not that great. But when I was 17 I fell in Tartarus with Annabeth. That uhh that wasn't nice."

"For the record. No it wasn't, but I think that Percy is telling it wrong. Percy fell for me." Annabeth walked in the room slinging an arm around Percy's waist.

"Annabeth!" Estelle ran forward to hug her sister in law.

When Estelle was sixteen her first boyfriend broke up with her. She didn't know who to call to pick her up. She had left him angry and sad and now she'd lost her ride home. She knew who to call. It seemed like it was her only option.

"Hey! Estelle what's up?" When she heard her brother's voice on the other side of the line she began sobbing. "C- can you pick me up?" There was a silence followed with a sure and jingling of keys.

"Get in." Percy said softly as he rolled down the window. "So can you tell me what happened?"

"Jack broke up with me." She cried out.

"Oh. Well tell me about it. Just talk to me, cry, sob and I have some crackers lying somewhere that you can eat." She let out a half sob half laugh and began to eat some crackers.

It was her high school graduation when Estelle spotted her parents and her brother and sister in law sitting there. Percy shot her a thumbs up and made a silly face. While her parents and Annabeth smiled up at her.

Estelle never felt alone. Because yes she had her parents and friends by her side. But there was her brother. Her hero and she would never feel alone with him to be there.
