Annabeth is known for her smart decisions — she inherited it from her mother. They call Athena the greatest grace that has happened to the queendom. And Annabeth will become best queen. She will. She is smar—
Today is her wedding. She isn't smart.
The problem is that she barely knows you, her bride, the princess of another queendom. It may be the right decision, a good union. But Annabeth wasn’t planning to marry someone she didn’t love, she wasn’t planning on marrying at all.
“Fix your pin”, Annabeth told you, watching you prepare for your wedding. She shouldn't see you until the wedding, not before you walk down the aisle. But who cares. Annabeth has already ruined everything, nothing else could go wrong. “...not like that”.
She leaned slowly towards you and reached out her hand, fixing it herself. Close. Damn close.
