Do Percy Jackson and Annabeth Chase end up together? Book storyline explored
Percy Jackson and Annabeth Chase ended up together in the Percy Jackson & the Olympians novel. This was interesting because initially, the two detested each other and were unhappy that they had to work together. Their feelings developed over time, with most of the advances coming from Annabeth Chase.
The romantic tension between the two was put to rest in The Battle of the Labyrinth when Annabeth kissed Percy. Their relationship blossomed and reached new heights in The Last Olympian. When everything was over, the two were still together. The book also insinuates that the two might get married in the long run.
When does Annabeth Chase start liking Percy Jackson?
In the books, Annabeth did not like Percy at first due to their descent. Annabeth was the daughter of Athena, whereas Percy was the son of Poseidon. Athena and Poseidon were supposed to be rivals of one another. Annabeth thought that Percy and his actions were influenced by this enmity. She also thought that he was incompetent.
However, her perception of Percy soon changed when the two had a proper conversation in the first book, Percy Jackson and The Lightning Thief. She expressed her likeness towards Percy in The Mark of Athena, which is the third book in The Heroes of Olympus series—a follow-up to the original Percy Jackson & the Olympians series.
In the 2006 novel, The Sea of Monsters, Athena didn't shy away from expressing her feelings for Percy by kissing him on the cheek.
It is difficult to establish when exactly Percy Jackson fell in love with Annabeth. This is because their entire relationship happened very organically.
Some readers hold the opinion that Percy Jackson started falling in love with Annabeth Chase in The Titan's Curse. Annabeth, on the other hand, liked Percy from the very first book, The Lightning Thief.
The two protagonists shared several heart-touching moments in the series. The pair's first kiss was initiated by Annabeth in The Battle of the Labyrinth.
