AN: I do not own Percy Jackson or I would be publishing real books not fanfiction on existing characters lol
I could really use a hug
It is over, finally peace. No more Gaea or Giants. It's all gone. Now we just have to see it through.
Percy was staring out the window when the door opened, "Percy! I heard from Piper! She said we should meet them next to Thalia's tree," Annabeth shouted as she walked through the room.
"In Here!" Percy called. Percy remembered that the Seven of them and Thalia would be going to Olympus that night to be rewarded for the effort put in when defeating Gaea. It was strange how he had completely forgotten probably due to the fact Annabeth was staying every single night at the Poseidon cabin and he had to keep it tidy otherwise she would yell at him and then she would tend to cry and apologise until she fell asleep in his arms.
"Hey! I could really use a hug, "She says pulling her coat off.
"Come here," Percy says opening his arms.
As she walks into his hug, Percy hears her sigh and he tightens his grip- leaning down to kiss her forehead lovingly.
"What's wrong? Was there any news?" Percy asked, he was worried about Leo as much as Annabeth was. He disappeared straight after the war ended and though Percy knew where he went, it caused arguments and annoyance between the seven. Piper and Jason were on the edge every time his name was brought up and Annabeth had to decide whether to send someone to look for him or just pray for his safety.
"I can't stand Jace at the moment, he keeps yelling at me and all I can do is listen to it as, if I do anything Piper starts crying. Why can't we just have a break?" She cries into his chest, "When will we be happy?"
Percy feels sick with all the emotions he is feeling. Hate for Jason. Worry for Leo. Sorry for Piper and probably most of all….
Love for Annabeth.
This girl had made the trip to Rome and Greece hard but, he would never change it. He had realised along the journey that he loved her more than anything in the world and more matter what happened he would never abandon her ever!
"I am," he said simply, "I am because I have you and I feel safe and although right now there are so many problems, one day it will all be over. Then, I will have you for the rest of my life and I won't need anything else!"
Annabeth smiled and he did to. He loved her smile.
"Want to watch a movie, I always find it relaxing "He asked comically
She laughed "Yeah, okay you got me this time Seaweed Brain!"
With that he pulled away for the hug (but not before kissing her lips once) and put the DVD in the player. When he sat down of the sofa, Annabeth lay down putting her head in his lap and snuggling into his side.
Eventually, she fell asleep and the room was filled with the sound of her light snoring. Percy smiled at her thinking how although things weren't perfect, he was happier than he had ever been.
Annabeth was here and though she was upset a lot, all she needed was a hug and it was all better.
