It’s time we accept that Percy Jackson is an unreliable narrator. He’s not dumb. He’s just insecure. He’s not clueless about his and Annabeth’s feelings. He’s just in denial. He’s not clueless about Rachel’s feelings. He just doesn’t want to do anything about them. His mother isn’t perfect. He just loves and respects her more than anyone in the world. That boy contradicts his own inner monologue all the time. Do not trust him!!
i like to think that percy keeps being part of relationships he doesn't know he's a part of until he randomly gets dumped. like, similar to what rachel did toward the end of the last olympian. percy will just get a call from his good friend andrew, who he met at an aquarium and bonded over turtles with, that things just won't work out between them. or a call from his good friend jessica, who he met at a coffee shop after bonding over whether or not unicorns should replace the logistics of giraffes, that she thinks he's an amazing guy but she found another partner and doesn't want to be unfaithful. and percy is just forever skeptical of every mortal friend he makes because he keeps unknowingly becoming somebody else's boyfriend.
