#yall can’t tell me percy wasn’t crushing hard when he right off the bat described annabeth has a pretty girl with princess curls

I love the idea that percy was fully aware of his own crush on annabeth since the beginning, but he was COMPLETELY oblivious to annabeth's crush on him

we know the annabeth's had a crush on percy since TLT, i personally think that she realized she liked him during the tunnel of love scene where he was protected her from the spiders and all.

just picture twelve year old annabeth who couldn't understand for the life of her why this annoying, random boy keeps making her feel a certain type of way. and then, he protects her from mechanical spiders and it all just clicks.

BUT i think percy began to develop a crush on annabeth pretty early on in TLT (my personal theory is it started when they were playing hacky sack and annabeth was SO impressive that percy was just in awe.. like that’s the most twelve year old thing ever and i could die from cuteness aggression)

and then right after, annabeth is quick on her feet to think of a solution to get percy out of the bus and dodge the furies, and that’s when his crush was in full effect.

nowww, i dont think percy realized his crush until like SoM, but it definitely had been there since TLT (annabeth’s is the opposite i think, she realized her crush immediately because she knew what having a crush felt like, luke, before and she’s just more in touch with her emotions in general)
