When they meet again, their relationship could take a new turn. They might decide to take their relationship to the next level, like getting more serious about their feelings for each other. They could also start to think about a future together, outside of just their adventures. This could involve things like planning to build a home in a safe place in the demigod world or thinking about how they can contribute to the safety and well - being of all demigods as a couple.
It could be that they face some challenges in their relationship upon meeting again. Maybe there are misunderstandings or new characters that cause some jealousy or friction. However, through communication and their shared experiences, they would work through these issues and come out with an even deeper bond.
It could develop into a deeper friendship at first. They might study together and support each other in their college pursuits.
They could start off on the wrong foot. Maybe Percy accidentally spills something on Annabeth's books. But then, they are paired for a debate in class. They realize that they both have really strong opinions and are quite intelligent. This mutual respect starts the development of their relationship.
It could develop quickly. They might immediately start planning their next adventure together.
At first, it could be a bit rocky. Percy might think Annabeth is too uptight, and Annabeth might think Percy is too carefree. But as they spend more time together in the high school environment, perhaps during lunch breaks or in after - school clubs, they start to see the good in each other. For example, Percy might notice how Annabeth always stands up for what's right in class debates, and Annabeth might see Percy's loyalty to his friends.
Their relationship in the fanfiction could develop in a more mature way. College is a time of self - discovery, and they would be no exception. Percy might become more confident in his abilities and be more assertive in the relationship. Annabeth could become more empathetic towards Percy's insecurities. They could also start planning for their future together, like thinking about post - college life and how they can continue to fight for the good of the demigod world while also having a normal life. Maybe they even consider starting a demigod training program for future generations on their own.
They could develop a romantic relationship. In fanfiction, it's common to explore the romantic potential between characters. Haku and Chihiro have a strong emotional connection already. Meeting again could spark those feelings into something more, like love. They might exchange small, affectionate gestures that show their new - found feelings.
Their relationship would likely deepen. They would have a stronger bond as brothers. They might understand each other's dreams and goals even better. Sabo would support Luffy's pursuit of the One Piece more actively, and Luffy would be more aware of Sabo's role in the revolutionary cause.
It could become stronger as they support each other through college life. They'd study together, share notes, and encourage one another during exams.
It could become more complex. As adults, they have different responsibilities and experiences. Their relationship might start off a bit strained as they try to fit into each other's new lives. But eventually, they could find a new level of understanding and respect for each other.
It could become more professional. They might keep their personal feelings aside and just focus on getting the job done.
