loyalty, pride, wrath

Thank you for the prompt!

“You aren’t talking.” Annabeth replied, “You always talk.”

A red blush rose to Percy’s cheeks and he looked down at his shoes. Quickly, he mumbled something under his breath that Annabeth couldn’t hear. When she asked him to repeat he looked up at her, embarrassment evident, “Sorry, it’s just… I’m not feeling too good. I’m kind of lactose intolerant.”

“What?” Annabeth asked, “How didn’t I know that. Wait. Why would you suggest a date to get ice cream?”

He smiled bashfully, “Because you like that place so much. I thought you’d have a good time.”

Laughing, Annabeth slipped her arm around Percy’s waist. “I’d have a better time if my date didn’t get sick just to see me happy. Next time, let's choose a place we both can enjoy.”

“Noted,” Percy replied with a grin.

“Let’s get you home,” Annabeth said, leading the way still tucked against his side, “I’m sure you could use a Tums or something.”

“You have no idea.” Pressing a kiss to the side of Annabeth’s head, Percy added, “I have the best girlfriend.”

in some fictional universe’s, character’s are pushed to become more powerful, to develop their skills, but in the pjo universe, that never happens. you never see chiron express at desire for percy to develop his oceanic skills, he wants him to train with weaponry. most of what percy develops with the ocean is done on his own and it’s done while fighting, usually at the last minute. and when you take all of this and apply it to something like the “annabeth is the most powerful demigod” statement, it makes me wonder what is viewed as power and what is viewed as strength. (i am a firm supporter of annabeth is the most powerful, js)
