Blonde Curls

The tears Annabeth cried fell onto the crisp grass, her vision blurring. Her face contorted as she cried, shaky breaths leaving her body. She felt terrible for what she did. At that point, Annabeth didn't even know if Reyna felt the same. She thought she did, after all Reyna did accept and deepened the kiss just barely. It seemed like Reyna was not offended by Annabeth's bumbling rejection.

Except, Annabeth wasn't rejecting Reyna. She was rejecting herself. She was supposed to grow up, marry a nice man with a nice family and take care of things. Annabeth was not supposed to enjoy the company of another girl the way she did. She was not allowed to feel her heart flutter at the speed of hummingbird's wings when she saw a certain girl. She most certainly was not supposed to feel an unfamiliar spark up her thighs and hips, sending electric shocks through her body with something that she could only assume was a crush. Annabeth only knew her for a day, but they had talked for so long.

Annabeth was afraid to call it love, but the way she remembered Reyna's touch warned her chest in a way that she would make similar to love. Annabeth needed to accept the feelings.

An idea came into her head; maybe if she waited for a little while, Reyna would come back. The thought made her heart lift with hope and it letter her to her feet, taking her back to the rock where they met.

The spot was empty, as expected. Reyna had run the other way. The sun was beginning to lower from the sky. She sat down on the rock again, hugging her knees. After a few moment she placed her chin on her knees, just watching the sun and hoping Reyna would come back.

"I- I though you would have gone home." A shaky voice said from behind. Annabeth fell off the rock in surprise. She turned to see Reyna again, but her eyes were puffy and he lip was trembling. She kept tugging her sleeves and bouncing on her heels.

Annabeth let out another cry, pulling her into a hug. Reyna froze again, and Annabeth had to think before beginning.

"I'm sorry I pulled away so fast. It's simply that I have never felt like this before and I didn't expect it to be with you. I wasn't told it would be you. But, I'm so glad it is. If you didn't like it I'm sorry and I won't do it again just please don't be mad at me." Annabeth found herself begging, voice breaking at the end.

Reyna looked down, intertwining he fingers with Annabeth's. She wrapped her other arm around Annabeth wait and pulled her close. Instinctively, Annabeth's hand went to Reyna's shoulder. They stepped to the left, swaying slightly as they began to prance across the grass. They were dancing, and a smile placed itself on Reyna's face. It was infectious, Annabeth beginning to smile as well. The silent music they danced to turned into a slow song, and Reyna swayed with her slowly. Their foreheads rested together.

"Please, do not apologize for being fond of me." She said, barely a whisper. Annabeth let out a breath in agreement.

"I will not. I am, you know, very fond of you." Annabeth whispered back. Her glaze flicked to Reyna's lips again, but she held herself back. Reyna's forehead lifted, replaced by a soft kiss on Annabeth's forehead. Her eyes furthered shut for the moment, savoring the feeling.

"I'm very fond of you, as well." Reyna said into Annabeth's hair, still keeping them swaying in the small circle. Annabeth felt her body relax, wanting this moment to last forever- "But I must return to my father." Annabeth pulled away, a small pout forming.

"So soon?" She pleaded, squeezing Reyna's hand slightly.

"So soon. I will try to meet you tomorrow." Reyna promised, holding Annabeth's eyes. Reyna's eyes were the perfect brown, Annabeth was ready to melt from a look Reyna gave her.

"Be safe, Reyna." Annabeth ended, quietly. She looked down, trying to hide her disappointment. Reyna lifted her chin, a small smirk on her lips. They both leaned in quickly, their lips meeting once again. It only last a moment, but it was a goodbye kiss.

"I will see you again, Annabeth." Reyna whispered her vow before letting go of Annabrth's hand. Annabeth couldn't help but be frozen as she watched the girl she was so fond of walk off towards the city.
