Percabeth

"Hey, did you know that the U.S. Capitol is 289 feet tall?"
Percy internally groaned. Annabeth was at it again, and it was an uncharacteristically hot October day at camp. He was too lazy to leave the Poseidon Cabin, so he had been cooped up inside all day while Annabeth fed him useless facts that he was sure wouldn't help him in the long run.
"Aren't you supposed to be doing an English paper?" Percy asked in a accusing tone as he flopped over on the bed, on his stomach.
"Well, yeah, but it doesn't hurt to do further research."
He made a face. "You're writing on Hamlet, not the Capitol."
"Well, it couldn't hurt to do research for that, too."
Percy pursed his lips in disdain at his girlfriend. He watched the glow of the Delta on the back of Daedalus' laptop, lustrous in the dimness of the room. "If you're not going to do your work, you want to do something else?"
Annabeth frowned, her fingers dancing across the keys. "No." It was his turn to frown. Annoyed, he made a growling noise at the back of his throat.
He looked at her. "Annabeth…"
"Yes?"
"Come."
"No. I'm doing my work, for real now."
He glared at her before turning over on his back. "Annabeth…"
"No, Percy."
His mouth stretched out into a line. Then, he got up from the bed.
Annabeth was still busy typing, her eyes fixed to the screen, but when he got up, she glanced at him. She looked away dismissively, probably thinking that he was about to do something stupid or unproductive or both, but he strode over to her, kneeled down by her side, and wrapped his arms around her waist as she "Eep!" – d in his grasp. Percy couldn't help but smirk as he nuzzled his face in her neck.
He spoke into her jaw as she struggled to keep typing, which was hard since he was blocking her view.
He smiled a devious smile. "You want to take a break now?"
Percy kissed her on the cheek, and her face glowed as red as the Delta glowed bright.
Annabeth shut the laptop. "Fine. I guess the Capitol can wait, for now."
