It's been a long time since I've done a new story for Percy Jackson since my Avatar fic is taking all my time so I decided to write this. Thanks to Percabeth-Is-Endless for accidently inspiring the idea during one of our random conversations. So this is a two shot. The first one is about Percy and what extremes he will go through to keep other guys from Annabeth. Who knew our sweet and innocent Percy could get jealous!

Percy and Annabeth had a good relationship, by most standards. They got along…reasonably well. They weren't too much alike so they balanced each other out. They had their ways of resolving a problem, though many of their attempts involved violence (sparring resolved any problem). At first glance, anyone would say they had a picture perfect relationship. But there was always something no one took into account: Jealousy.

Percy never considered himself jealous by any means. He was normally a pretty laid back kind of guy who had a weird sense of humor and could easily make friends. No, jealousy was never a flaw he had to deal with. Growing up with just the necessities really taught him to value what he had. Smelly Gabe never bought him anything but Percy was never jealous of any of the kids at school. He didn't have the nicest clothes, the best looks or the best family but he never complained or felt envious. He was happy.

But Percy was learning very fast that Annabeth Chase was really changing him. He had never felt the green monster that people called jealousy until their date:

Percy opened the car door for Annabeth when they arrived at their restaurant. Paul let Percy borrow his car for the night. (Percy was really worried he wouldn't after what happened with the Pegasus) Percy thought the only reason his parents gave him money and the car was because they too were in love with Annabeth. Sally was mainly the one who loved Annabeth. Paul would just go along with it because it would make Sally happy.

"I hope you're in the mood for pizza," Percy said as she got out of the car. She laughed and rolled her eyes. It was their tradition to get pizza on Saturday nights now. Camp was coming up in a few weeks but school was out early and Percy and Annabeth decided to take advantage of the time before privacy became nonexistent. Normally, they would stay at Percy's apartment and order pizza (or just eat the frozen kind) but Sally was starting to get really nosy. Annabeth swore she had to secretly be a daughter of Aphrodite to be so interested in the two.

"We're in the mood for pizza every Saturday night, Seaweed Brain," Annabeth smiled at him hoping he'd understand she was joking. He shrugged and offered her his hand. She accepted and they made their way to the pizza diner. Annabeth was in blue jeans and a t-shirt and her hair was pulled up in its usual ponytail. She didn't think they were going anywhere tonight but Percy ended up bring them here. Thankfully, it was a place where you could get away with wearing casual clothes.

They seated themselves at a small table as far away from other people as possible. Annabeth hated sitting next to noisy people, which was something Percy learned fast. When Annabeth got annoyed with people next to her, things didn't turn out well for anyone in the restaurant.

Their other reason for sitting as far away from people as possible was the group of high school guys in one of the booths. Percy and Annabeth never fit in well in school. People could tell after a while something was different about them. But when they were out in public and people didn't know who they were, they were treated much differently. Well, Percy noticed that girls treated him differently. They would giggle and point at him. It was like having a cabin of Aphrodite girls following him around. And Annabeth did take notice of that.

The waitress came and took their order and Percy and Annabeth were left alone to talk. When they had their dates and Percy's house, they didn't do much talking but since it would be considered rude to make out in the middle of a restaurant, they decided to just talk. All he needed was a reason to get kicked out of somewhere else. So he settled on a topic Annabeth could never refuse. "How's Olympus coming?"

Percy normally didn't ask about her construction on Olympus knowing it would only lead to a conversation he could not follow. But sometimes, he could help but ask so he could see Annabeth's eyes light up and smile brightly. She was always beautiful but she seemed to glow when she talked about architecture. Annabeth replied with a simple and uncharacteristic, "Good." Annabeth was a little more preoccupied with giving some guys a death glare. The group of high school guys were all laughing and all giving Annabeth looks between laughs. She had half a mind to go teach them not to so much as look at her. But she was sure that would only get her kicked out of the restaurant. It wouldn't be the first time she got in trouble but she didn't feel like taking the heat for what some nasty guys deserved.

"Annabeth," Percy leaned towards her, "are you there?" She blinked and focused her attention back to Percy. His green eyes were trained on her and his eyebrows scrunched up. She couldn't help but smile at his thinking face. Percy was a really handsome person but Annabeth loved his thinking face. She had even told him it was cute once before.

"Uh, yeah, I'm fine," Annabeth stuttered. She heard the distant laughter of the guys and her eyes narrowed. She was wondering if Percy was purposely ignoring them or just oblivious. "Just thinking," she settled for the safe answer. Upsetting Percy probably wasn't the best course of action.

Percy leaned back in his chair and nodded. He wasn't completely satisfied with her answer. He heard the guys laughing, but now was the first time he glanced over to look at them. They were all eyeing Annabeth. Percy felt his blood boil, "Is there a reason why those guys are staring you down?"

Annabeth raised her eyebrows. She knew Percy lived in a whole other world sometimes but she didn't think he was that dense. "They're checking me out and talking about me," she deadpanned. She knew Percy would never understand if she beat around the bush. He wasn't the kind of person who understood hints.

"But you're with me," His eyebrows scrunched together again. Annabeth rolled her eyes. Percy really thought too well of people. That or he just didn't understand that most people don't care. She tried to suppress a grin. If he thought it was strange for guys to check out girls when she had a date did that mean it worked the other way around and he didn't look at other girls?

She nodded and shrugged her shoulders, "Do you think that matters to them?" the waitress brought them their pizza while Percy was processing everything she said. He was a faraway look I his eyes still after the waitress left.

"People do that?" He whispered frantically. Percy knew some guys were no good, just like some girls were trouble. (He learned that at school when girls would come up to him…not a good experience.)

"You are sure your head really isn't full of kelp?" Annabeth asked after eating a bite of pizza. She tried to keep herself from laughing. Percy was such a kid sometimes that it was laughable. She grinned as he absentmindedly ate some of his pizza. He was deep in thought about something. "Don't try to think so much. You might get lost in all that kelp up there," she warned him seriously.

"Gee, thanks Wise Girl, I'll remember that," he frowned. She laughed at him and laced her fingers in his and rested their hands on the table. "But I'm sure you'll find a way to make me forget," He smiled.

"I'm glad you're finally learning something," She laughed again. It didn't take them long to finish dinner and pay for it. The guys were still in the booth. And the worst part was: they were right by the door. They would have to walk right by them to get out.

Percy stood up and waited for Annabeth. He tried his best to ignore the guys all night after he found out they were checking out Annabeth, his girlfriend. But no matter what, he could always hear their laughter. It annoyed him all night and he could tell it bothered Annabeth too. Now, he was going to have to hold back his temper and Annabeth. Gods only know what she would do to teach these guys a lesson.

Annabeth hooked her arm through Percy's as they walked out. She made sure to be on the side that wasn't next to the booth. Percy had much better restraint than her and she didn't want to give them a close up look and encourage them. She had this problem before.

Percy could feel his pulse thumping. He was getting really upset over these guys. And he felt something stirring inside him. That couldn't be jealousy was it? Yes, Percy was jealous he wasn't the only one who had eyes on Annabeth. He felt like he had to share her with every other guy in the room. And despite how much he never wanted to say something like this: Annabeth was his. But he wouldn't say that aloud and make her mad.

Annabeth sighed in relief as they walked past the guys without incident. They got really quiet when they walked by. Annabeth was really hoping that Percy intimidated them or something. Oh, how wrong she was, "Hey, you wanna come home with me instead?" As soon as Percy heard him speak, he stopped dead in his tracks. Percy could hear the suggestive tone in the guy's voice and he was disgusted.

Percy turned on his heel and walked back towards the booth. He knew which guy said it. It was the one who looked at Annabeth the most. The one that leaned over to get a better look at her when they walked by. Percy stood over him for a minute to stare him down. The guy was petrified staring at Percy. Out of nowhere, Percy punched him in the face, "You don't talk to any girl like that, much less mine."

Percy looked at the hostess who was standing with a menu a few feet away, "I didn't see anything." Percy nodded at the girl and as he walked past her, he could hear her chuckle at the guy's misfortune. Even she thought the guy deserved it.

Percy walked back to Annabeth, took her by the elbow and steered her out the restaurant. They didn't speak until they got to Paul's car. Percy turned the key and leaned his head against the seat. At camp, they learned not to harm mortals but he was sure this one time had to be an exception. "Thank you," She whispered.

Annabeth was staring straight out the window with an expressionless face. Percy knew that to be her thinking face. "He deserved it," Percy shrugged with a sigh. Most of his anger went away when he punched the guy in the face but he was still pretty ticked. "I mean, he had no respect at all for you. Who the hell just says stuff like that?"

Annabeth smiled. Percy was a great guy. And she had no idea what she did to get him. She was sure any girl, even Aphrodite herself, would swoon over him. She leaned over, took his face in her hands and crashed her lips into his. She definitely liked this side of Percy.

I don't think I've ever written something that fast! Anyway, reviews are more than welcome. I don't have a problem with hearing opinions and stuff. If y'all want to, I have a facebook page under my pen name (guitar-goddess16) and I have sneak peeks of other stories, recommendations for other stories and stuff like that. So review and stuff! Thanks for reading!
