Before you read this, I want to let you know that this is my first story. This chapter is a bit short, but as the story progresses, the chapters will get longer, I promise. I'll also be posting lines from a love poem I wrote years ago each chapter. I will try to upload chapters at least twice a week.

Disclaimer: I don't own PJO or HOO, those are Uncle Rick's. I do own the plot and everything else.


They want you to run away/never say goodbye/but I'll never let you go.


Annabeth POV

She awoke to the smell of pancakes in the air; Mmmm, she thought as she pulled the sheets from her body. In a stretch-like movement, she was out of bed, down the hallway and in the kitchen doorframe; when she saw him, a smile crept onto her face. He stood with his back to her, unknowing of her presence, singing a song to himself as he made breakfast; she thought it was 'Say Something' by A Great Big World and Christina Aguilera. She walked up behind him, wrapping her arms around his waist and taking a deep breath before hearing him speak, "Hey, Wise girl." He turned around to face her, bringing a smile on both of their faces, My Seaweed Brain, she thought.

Percy POV

I was singing 'Say Something' by A Great Big World and Christina Aguilera to himself, when he felt her arms close around my stomach. I laughed to myself; so much for breakfast in bed, he thought. "Hey, wise girl." he said, before turning to face her, bringing smiles to our faces; Gods, I love you, I thought. Annabeth let go of my waist, bringing her lips to mine until they met; it was like kissing an angel. I felt like we were back in the labyrinth, sending the memory straight through my subconscious and into my conscious mind.

"Put your cap back on," I said. "Get out!"
"What?" Annabeth shrieked. "No! I'm not leaving you."
"I've got a plan. I'll distract them. You can use the metal spider––maybe it'll lead you back to Hephaestus. You have to tell him what's going on."
"But you'll be killed!"
"I'll be fine. Besides, we've got no choice."
Annabeth glared at me like she was going to punch me. And then she did something that surprised me even more.
She kissed me.
"Be careful, Seaweed Brain." She put on her hat and vanished.

When she finally pulled back, my mind felt empty of all thoughts except for one name: Annabeth.

"Happy Birthday, wise girl." I said smiling; she smiled back. Her eyes, her mysterious, beautiful, storm-grey globes of life, seemed to glow a lighter shade. "I'm going to jump in the shower; you…" she said, placing her hand on my cheek, "Are going to get ready for your job interview." I pouted; "can't I join you?" She bit her lip, trying told back her laughter, but failed, releasing a wave of pleasure and happiness. Gods, I love the way she laughs, I thought, I'm going to do it; today. I thought back to my nightstand beside our bed, to the hidden compartment in the back of the drawer. Inside lay the sea-green diamond engagement ring, a gift from my father when I told him of my plans to marry Annabeth. I could already imagine the look on her face when I would propose to her. I pushed the thought away as I watched Annabeth turn and leave; even in just a shirt and underwear, she looked great. From the way her hips slightly swung from side to side, to her magnificent tanned legs, to the curled blonde hair that sat on her head, she was the pure meaning of beauty. I would never say it aloud, though I wish I could, but to me, Annabeth's mind and beauty surpasses even the goddess Aphrodite.
