So this short one shot is a combination of a venting piece, and something that was inspired because @solbabydraws always makes me want to draw Percy Jackson stuff. It feels like sometimes people in the fandom (Not Solbaby! Just other writers I’ve read) and people in general seem to forget that Percy (And pretty much all guys, trust me) also appreciate kind words and can be sensitive. It’s okay to not always be tough folks, and that’s coming from a guy who gets through most of his problems by just toughing it out. We all need to hear kind words sometimes. Sometimes teasing can get to people, even if it’s light hearted. (It’s certainly getting old for me at work sometimes…) Ironically this is also released on MentalHealthAwareness day so there’s that too. Anyway, sorry for the mini rant, enjoy!

Glaring at his pencil, Percy wondered
how mad Annabeth would be if he snapped her mechanical pencil in
half. Knowing her however, he figured it wouldn’t be worth the scowl
and bickering for a few seconds of tension relief.
Setting down the pencil onto his “extra
homework” he dropped his head onto the table to avoid the
temptation of causing property damage for Annabeth. If he wasn’t so
utterly in love with Annabeth, there was no way he would be doing
extra homework during their summer vacation. Not even the gods could
have convinced him of this task.
They were preparing to finish their
senior year, then go to college together. However, Annabeth had
warned that Percy needed to be on top of the ball to ensure there
were no academic problems that could interfere. Of course, Percy had
already used up all his strikes, and them some, so it was really down
to the line. Annabeth had been helping him, and promised to make it
up to him later for studying so hard now.
Of course Annabeth had been the best
studying partner. Bringing him snacks occasionally, explaining things
in her wonderful confident, yet patient tone. Not to mention the
brief study breaks that usually ended out in make-out sessions.
Annabeth had some other tasks to attend
to for the day, leaving Percy to study and work on the next section
of the workbook on his own. Promising to bring him a treat when she
was free later, she had the utmost confidence in her boyfriend that
he could finish the work.
Percy had also been pretty confident
that he could do it alone. At least until his day had decided to
spiral progressively downwards. Raising his head slightly, he let it
drop with a soft thud on the table. Repeating the action, he thought
back to what had started this hellish day.
AND THEN SOL DIED AT THE CUTENESS AND BADASSERY THAT IS ANNABETH-DON’TFUCKWITHMYBOY-CHASE LOVING AND CARING FOR HER VERY TIRED AND VERY SWEET BOYFRIEND
Because I went through a funk and they sent me such sweet messages and they’re just amazing people in general and I want to thank them for being just the best girls and the best of friends a girl could ask for. I love them and I just want to say thank you guys!
