Another possibility is that it changes the dynamic of their relationship completely. Maybe after the slap, Annabeth realizes she has some anger issues she needs to work on, and Percy realizes he needs to be more sensitive. This could lead to a more mature and equal relationship as they both grow from the incident.
However, it could also create a rift. Percy might feel unjustly treated if he didn't think he deserved the slap. This could lead to him pulling away from Annabeth for a while, causing tension and distance in their relationship. They would then have to overcome this obstacle to get back to where they were before.
If their fight is really bad, it could create a rift between them for a while. They might avoid each other, which would be hard since they are usually so close. This could make it difficult for them to work together on future quests.
The first meeting can set the tone for their relationship. If it's a positive encounter, like if they immediately bond over a shared interest or a common goal, it can lead to a strong friendship that later develops into more. For example, if they meet during a quest and save each other's lives right away, they'll trust each other deeply from the start.
It can develop through this moment of closeness. Just the act of her sleeping on him can show a level of trust, which Percy might recognize and it deepens their bond.
In some cases, it could add a new layer of complexity to their relationship. It might make their relationship more volatile for a while, with more arguments and reconciliations. But overall, if they truly care for each other, they'll find a way to move past it and grow as a couple or as friends, depending on the nature of their relationship in the fanfiction.
The jealousy can initially strain their relationship. Percy's jealousy might make Annabeth feel smothered or like he doesn't trust her. For example, if Percy is jealous of Annabeth's friendship with a male demigod, he might act coldly towards her, causing her to be confused and a bit hurt.
It can strain their relationship. When Annabeth is mad, there will be tension between them. They might not communicate as effectively, which could lead to misunderstandings. For example, if Percy doesn't understand why Annabeth is mad, he might say or do the wrong things, making the situation worse.
However, in the long run, it might actually strengthen their bond. If they can resolve the issues that led to the yelling, they can grow closer. They could learn more about each other's perspectives. For example, if Annabeth yells because of Percy's recklessness, he might start to be more cautious, which would be a positive change for their relationship.
Their relationship might develop through more in - depth conversations. Since they are engaged, they start talking about their future, like where they want to live. Maybe Percy wants to live near the ocean and Annabeth has other ideas, and they have to compromise.
Well, it completely shatters their trust. Percy would be devastated and feel extremely betrayed. He would question all their past interactions and wonder if Annabeth ever really cared about him.
When Annabeth is mad, Percy will likely try to make it up to her. He might start doing all kinds of things like bringing her favorite foods, trying to help her with her projects. But Annabeth might not be so easily swayed. She'll be looking for a real apology and for Percy to show that he's learned his lesson. So the relationship becomes a bit of a power struggle, with Percy trying to regain her favor and Annabeth deciding whether he's worthy of it.
