It could become stronger as they support each other through college life. They'd study together, share notes, and encourage one another during exams.
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.
It could develop into a deeper friendship at first. They might study together and support each other in their college pursuits.

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.
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 this type of fanfic, the relationship might develop when Percy is put in a situation where he has to pretend to be Annabeth's boyfriend for some reason. As they play the part, Percy starts to notice little things about Annabeth, like the way she smiles when she's truly happy or how she gets excited about architecture. These small observations could start to chip away at his obliviousness and make him question his own feelings. Meanwhile, Annabeth hopes that this pretend relationship might turn into a real one, and as they go through different scenarios together, their relationship could grow from a one - sided love with Percy being oblivious to a mutual, deep - rooted love.
Percy might become friends with the misfits or outcasts at school. His kind heart and sense of justice would draw him to those who are bullied. Annabeth, on the other hand, could be respected by the smart kids for her intelligence. She might form study groups and in the process, make new friends. But some students might be jealous of their closeness and the special bond they share.
Their relationship would likely become more nurturing. They would have to rely on each other more as they take on the role of parents.

Then they would discuss their concerns and fears for the child together, strengthening their bond as they face these new challenges as a couple.

They might become more protective. Since they are dreaming of having a daughter, they would start to think about all the potential dangers she could face. Their relationship could grow deeper as they bond over their shared hopes and fears for their future child.
