Percy gets a new haircut and annabeth likes it a lot?
alright i don’t know if i’ve shared this headcanon but i got it into my head that percy and annabeth would both shave their heads after the war???
i think it’s mentioned in boo that their hair is quite wiry and dull, and i imagine it wouldn’t return to it’s previous godly lushnuss any time soon
so percy brings it up one time, all casual, like. We should just shave it off.
(lets say A’s head is in his lap and he’s running his fingers through her hair and she’s complaining about how awful and knotty it is all the time)
and she goes, Yes. That’s it, we should totally do that.
he waits a few moments for her to tell him that she’s just kidding
and because they’re teenage demigods, they’re impulsive and ridiculous and they just fucking do it
they go over to the Ares cabin and borrow Clarisse’s electric shaver, bcs of course she has one
and after making up some lame excuse to her siblings for needing to borrow them, they go into the bathroom of cabin three and take turns shaving each other’s hair off
annabeth’s takes a lot longer obviously and percy has to cut a lot off before they can shave it because there’s SO MUCH of it and it’s kinda frizzy and enormous
they do a fuck awful job of it and have little tufts everywhere and when they both first stand in front of the mirror next to one another and properly appraise themselves, they die laughing for a few minutes
then they make out for a bit
then they go and find someone from the aphrodite cabin to sort it out, because someone there has to know how to fix this, right?
a few of them cry at the sight of them at first
but then they get to work
P and A sit opposite each other as they get tidied up, pulling faces and laughing like big fucking kids
everyone’s reactions are just fucking priceless
piper can’t stop rubbing her hands over annabeth’s head and laughing, telling her that she’s definitely getting an undercut now
jason gives percy a noogie until he gets kicked off
hazel keeps saying how pretty annabeth is. like. she’s so pretty. how? how is she such a majestic being???
leo dubs them both as furiosa and mad max. the names stick.
frank tells percy that he’d had his hair shaved off when he first joined camp jupiter and would never go back cause his head kept getting cold. bless his soul.
clarisse begrudgingly admits that they look pretty badass before blowing up about the fact that they used HER shaver without her permission
sally looks mildly traumatised for a few beats before she makes a cup of tea and Calms Down about the whole thing because it could be a lot worse
they could have gotten matching face tattoos, for instance
“Yes, thank you, Paul. Please don’t give them ideas.”
they get stared at for a while around camp but eventually people get used to it
they still get stared at a lot though because they do look pretty badass and very pretty
and then when it starts to grow back!! all soft and curly and ahh
grover is constantly making flower crowns for them both because it’s the perfect length and they look cute af
they’re both always running their hands through each other’s short hair when they’re making out or just chillin bcs it’s so soft and nice
for the first time since Tartarus, they are both starting to feel healthy again
they’ve been building up their fitness again and no longer lose their breath so quickly (with help from Chiron)
they’ve talked and talked and talked, with each other and with their friends and parents and chiron, about everything, and they are starting to heal on the inside too
but because this is such a physical difference, they both really start to appreciate how much they’ve healed and changed and grown
(i’m sorry this really diverted from your ask, i’m just very passionate about this)
