A/N: Hey guys! Welcome to my new drabble/oneshot series!
This is going to be an amalgamation of different kinds of drabbles and oneshots ranging from fluffy to maybe some angst. I mean, I don't know, guess we'll all find out together :P
Anyway, here ya go:
It takes two to fall in love.
No, that's not quite right. Because Percy had fallen in love, even if she hadn't. Even if his love was not reciprocated it still existed, it didn't need her. Well technically it did, she needed to exist for him to fall in love with her in the first place…
Wait, so maybe it does take two to fall in love? It's confusing. Then again, love tends to be just confusing enough to make complete sense.
Regardless, he was clear on one thing: he was most definitely in love. He had stumbled across the thought waiting for her to show up at the library so they could study. They had locked eyes while she had been searching for his table and it hit him right then and there that he was hopelessly in love with her.
She walked up normally (as if she just hadn't dropped a bomb on him), flashed a heart-wrenching smile and took out her textbook to get started and all he could do was just sit there frozen. Because suddenly everything made sense. Why being around her made him light up, how her presence brought him more than just happiness, but also brought a warm feeling that went beyond any crush he's ever had. He could never quite put a word to it, but now here it was. Love.
He was in love. And she wasn't. Well, he was pretty sure she wasn't. She never gave any indication of being interested anyway. Even as he sat there frozen, she only nudged him and teased him for drifting off into la la land. It was more like Annabeth land but he didn't mention that.
He would try, try his hand at her love because he had to. She was the end of the line for him. And he was willing to wait.
It took a couple years for him to figure it out. It happened one morning when he was doing a crossword and eating a piece of toast. He almost choked on it because of his excitement.
Annabeth for her part just shook her head, patted his back, and gave him a kiss on the cheek as she got ready for work.
He had finally figured out what he had been trying to say since the beginning. Because falling in love wasn't terribly difficult. It was keeping it throughout everything life threw your way.
It takes two to be in love.
A/N: Well there you have it, the first one down. What did you think? It's short and abstract but that was what I was going for. The rest aren't necessarily going to be like this but some definitely are, like I said, an amalgamation. Anyway,
