The story could develop in many ways. If it's a more angsty fanfiction, Annabeth might feel betrayed by Percy and their relationship would be severely strained. They would have a lot of emotional turmoil to work through. Meanwhile, the outside world would be in chaos. The gods might get involved, seeing as two of their powerful demigod children are in a strange situation. Percy would have to find a way to make things right, either by undoing what he did or by justifying his actions in some way.
After Percy kidnaps Annabeth, the story could take a more adventurous turn. They might end up in a new and dangerous place together, whether it was by accident or on purpose. As they are stuck with each other, they start to communicate and slowly understand each other's motives better. This could lead to a deeper bond between them, or it could make things even worse if they can't come to an agreement. And all the while, they have to face whatever challenges the new place throws at them, like new monsters or enemies.
At first, their relationship would be extremely tense. Annabeth would be angry and confused about Percy's actions. However, as time passes and they start to communicate, they might begin to understand each other's motives better. If Percy had a good reason for the kidnapping, like protecting her from an unseen danger, Annabeth could start to see him in a different light.
The slap could also be a turning point in their relationship. It might make Percy more aware of Annabeth's feelings and boundaries. He could start to be more careful with his actions and words around her. On Annabeth's side, she might feel a bit guilty after the slap and try to make amends in her own way, like by doing something nice for Percy that she knows he'll appreciate.
Another way their relationship could develop is that they both pretend it didn't happen at first. But subconsciously, it affects how they interact. They might be more self - conscious around each other. Eventually, through some external adventure or event that forces them to rely on each other, they finally address the elephant in the room and their relationship either deepens as friends or takes a romantic turn.
It could become stronger as they support each other through college life. They'd study together, share notes, and encourage one another during exams.
After the make - out session, their relationship could progress in a more mature way. They might start having deeper conversations about their future together. Percy could start thinking about settling down with Annabeth after all their adventures. Annabeth, on the other hand, might start including Percy more in her long - term plans, like her dreams of rebuilding Olympus or creating new safe havens for demigods. This new level of closeness would also be noticed by their friends, who would either be supportive or a bit envious.
Sally would likely become a mother figure to Annabeth. She would offer her advice and support, just as she does for Percy. Percy and Annabeth's relationship would become more domestic. They'd have more time to just be together, sharing small moments like having breakfast together in the morning. Their bond would strengthen as they face the normal day - to - day challenges of living together, along with Sally.
Well, they would probably communicate better. In Tartarus, they had to rely on clear communication to survive. So, back in the normal world, this would carry over. They'd be more open about their feelings, fears, and plans, which would strengthen their relationship in a more emotional way.
It might create some conflict initially. Percy and Annabeth could be worried about Sally's reaction, which could lead to some misunderstandings between them. However, as the story progresses, they could work through it and Sally could end up being a strong advocate for their relationship, adding a new dynamic to the fanfiction.
Percy would become more vigilant and responsible. He's always been brave, but as a bodyguard, he'd need to be constantly on alert. This would make him grow in terms of his self - discipline.
Their relationship could become more intense. The hickeys might be a sign that they are moving to a more physical and passionate stage. Percy might become more protective of Annabeth as well, seeing how she's so openly showing her affection in this way.
