percy and annabeth were the height of romance. like imagine having a crush on someone for years and you both know theres feelings there but you cant do anything about it because you've been prophesized to die
in a matter of hours and it would be cruel of you to start something and then abandon her the way she’s been abandoned her entire life
and you cant even say to yourself how you really feel because youre a teenage boy and youre frightened of ruining your relationship because thats not fair to her either, even though she lashes out at you and she won't talk to you about her feelings either
so instead you say nothing and you go on protecting each other and trusting each other and thinking of each other to keep yourselves alive and choosing each other over everything, over and over, without hesitation, and pretending it means nothing.
truly no one does it like percabeth, i tell you
