For example, Percy might notice how Annabeth always stands up for what's right in class debates, and Annabeth might see Percy's loyalty to his friends.

Sally would likely become a mother figure to Annabeth. She would offer her advice and support, just as she does for Percy. Percy and Annabeth's relationship would become more domestic.

Their bond would strengthen as they face the normal day - to - day challenges of living together, along with Sally.
It can develop through this moment of closeness. Just the act of her sleeping on him can show a level of trust, which Percy might recognize and it deepens their bond.

Maybe they even consider starting a demigod training program for future generations on their own.

In this type of fanfic, the relationship might develop when Percy is put in a situation where he has to pretend to be Annabeth's boyfriend for some reason. As they play the part, Percy starts to notice little things about Annabeth, like the way she smiles when she's truly happy or how she gets excited about architecture. These small observations could start to chip away at his obliviousness and make him question his own feelings. Meanwhile, Annabeth hopes that this pretend relationship might turn into a real one, and as they go through different scenarios together, their relationship could grow from a one - sided love with Percy being oblivious to a mutual, deep - rooted love.
