[Percy's body kind of goes on red alert when she sits next to him so close. They've been all over each other since she got back, but it's still been almost platonic touching. Her proximity couple with the look she's giving him right now? A little less than platonic.
Not that he wants to be platonic with Annabeth. The opposite, actually. He can still remember that urge to just - be as close to her as physically possible. It's a feeling that practically overwhelms him, and after everything she's been through, the last thing he wants to do is unleash that on her.
He squeezes her hand back reflexively] Am I sure I don't want you to kick me? Uh, yeah. Positive. [Close close she's so close. it would be extremely easy for him to just lean over and kiss her right now.]
