After the touch, they might develop a more symbiotic relationship. Annabeth, having touched his Achilles heel, may feel more responsible for Percy's well - being. And Percy, having allowed her to touch it, might rely on her more in dangerous situations. Their relationship could evolve from just being friends or romantic partners to something more like two parts of a whole, each being acutely aware of the other's role in their lives.
It could deepen their relationship. The act of touching such a vulnerable spot is very personal, so it might make their bond stronger. They might become more protective of each other.
It could bring them closer. Percy might find it endearing that Annabeth likes fanfiction about them, and it could lead to more open conversations between them about how they are perceived by fans.
Their relationship could become more intense. The hickeys might be a sign that they are moving to a more physical and passionate stage. Percy might become more protective of Annabeth as well, seeing how she's so openly showing her affection in this way.
At first, it might become strained. Annabeth could be hurt and pull away from Percy. She might not want to be around him as much.
The relationship will likely grow stronger. They'll have to rely on each other more for daily tasks and support. For example, if Percy has a bad day at work or school, Annabeth will be there to comfort him right away, and vice versa. However, it could also be a bit strained at times. There might be moments when they feel suffocated by each other's presence, but they'll have to work through those feelings to keep their relationship healthy.
Well, it completely shatters their trust. Percy would be devastated and feel extremely betrayed. He would question all their past interactions and wonder if Annabeth ever really cared about him.
When Annabeth is mad, Percy will likely try to make it up to her. He might start doing all kinds of things like bringing her favorite foods, trying to help her with her projects. But Annabeth might not be so easily swayed. She'll be looking for a real apology and for Percy to show that he's learned his lesson. So the relationship becomes a bit of a power struggle, with Percy trying to regain her favor and Annabeth deciding whether he's worthy of it.
Well, they would probably communicate better. In Tartarus, they had to rely on clear communication to survive. So, back in the normal world, this would carry over. They'd be more open about their feelings, fears, and plans, which would strengthen their relationship in a more emotional way.
In fanfiction, it could be a sign of deep trust. Since the Achilles heel is a very vulnerable spot, Percy allowing Annabeth to touch it might show that he trusts her completely with his life. It could also be a moment of great intimacy, not necessarily in a romantic way, but in a way that shows their close bond.
If Percy was the son of Achilles, his relationship with Annabeth might become more strained. Percy could become more headstrong and impulsive because of the influence of Achilles' traits, which would clash with Annabeth's more strategic and cautious nature. For example, in battle situations, Percy might rush in without a proper plan, causing Annabeth to worry more about his safety and get frustrated with his new behavior.
Their relationship could become more intense. With her hearing his thoughts, they'd be more in tune with each other's feelings. It might make their bond stronger as they'd understand each other on a deeper level.
