Disclaimer; I don't own anything. If I did I would be so rich right now.
This was so stupid. So, so stupid. Internally Annabeth was chiding herself for partaking in something so idiotic, but honestly, she was too amused to quit right now.
"So, that is why I deserve the last one," Percy completed with a smirk. They were at some McDonald's that they had found after a run in with several hellhounds, and Percy was determined to get the last fry. Annabeth didn't care at all, but seeing how hell-bent he was on getting it, she wanted to mess with him.
"Nope, you can't do that. You ate more than me, so therefore I deserve the last one to make it even," she rationed out.
Percy made a face. "But you ate the second to last one!"
"So? That doesn't count," Annabeth rebutted. "And besides, can you prove it?" She didn't dare tell him that there were the security cameras. She wanted to see if he would figure it out himself.
"Yeah! I mean, there was . . . well, maybe not that guy over there, but . . ." Annabeth rolled her eyes.
"Seriously, Percy, you're going to give yourself a brain tumor trying to figure it out."
"But . . . But . . ." he sputtered.
"Shhh," she said, trying to hold back a laugh. "You're such a Seaweed Brain sometimes." Her companion was quiet for a few seconds.
"Well . . . you're smart," Percy finally responded, like it was supposed to be an insult. He smiled triumphantly back at her. She totally didn't giggle back. Not at all.
"Wow, good job," Annabeth teased. "Great comeback. Why am I dating you again?" This one he knew.
"Because you love me," Percy remarked with a sing-song voice.
She locked eyes with him, and with a fond smile, Annabeth said, "Yup, I sure do." And with that, the demigod slid across the booth and sat next to her (only slightly annoying) boyfriend. So maybe Percy totally stole her rightful deserved fry as soon as she turned around. Maybe he blamed her for misplacing it afterwards. And maybe, just maybe, he fessed up to it after she kissed him. Sometimes arguing isn't so bad.
