Percy was Annabeth's protector, yes. But in some way, he was also yours.

So when Grover would chase after Annabeth, Percy would find you. His favorite person.

Once he found you in your Cabin, he took you out into the forest with him. Now he was pointing to all the animals he thought were beautiful, just like you. Percy’s lips turned upwards as he pointed at a beautiful butterfly.

“That one looks just like you! It’s so pretty..”

He said as his fingers slid into yours. He held your hand as he pointed out another animal that look pretty to him.
