when do percy and annabeth kiss

Percy and Annabeth share their first real, mutual, clearly-on-the-lips kiss at the end of The Last Olympian , after the war with Kronos, during the camp celebration by the lake.

Quick scoop

• Their first big kiss happens after the victory feast, when Annabeth kisses Percy at the campfire celebration and everyone at Camp Half‑Blood basically reacts like, “Finally.”

• Percy then creates an air bubble in the lake, and they share what he calls “the best underwater kiss of all time,” which is the iconic Percabeth kiss most fans mean when they ask “when do Percy and Annabeth kiss.”

Earlier almost‑kisses

• In The Battle of the Labyrinth , Annabeth kisses Percy at Mount St. Helens right before he’s blasted away; it’s quick and in a life‑or‑death moment, but often counted as their first on‑page kiss.

• Before that, she only kisses him on the cheek in The Sea of Monsters , which is more of a hint of feelings than a full romantic moment.

Later kisses in the series

• They kiss again when they reunite in The Mark of Athena , running into each other’s arms as the Argo II arrives at Camp Jupiter.

• The relationship is fully established by then, so from that book onward they have several comfortable, couple‑y kisses and moments together across Heroes of Olympus.
