Couch
"Move over, Seaweed Brain!" Annabeth complained.
The couple was about to settle down and watch a movie that Friday night, and Annabeth insisted on seeing Roman Holiday. Percy was not very happy with that choice, and had pestered her while she was making popcorn to switch it to Finding Nemo. Now, he had decided on revenge. Percy was currently laid out on the couch, taking up all of the room. His dark hair contrasted with the cream-colored pillows on which it fanned out from his head like a mop. His sea-green eyes shone with a mischievous light.
"Why?" he asked.
"Because I don't want to have to sit on you for the whole movie. Now scoot," she snapped.
"But I'm comfortable," he whined. Gods, he was like a child sometimes.
"You won't be when I sit on your head," she retorted.
"Great! Then I won't have to watch the movie," he chirped.
"No, you're not weaseling out of this one," Annabeth decided.
Percy pleaded with his sea-green eyes. "Please can we watch Finding Nemo?"
Annabeth rolled her eyes. "We're watching Roman Holiday, for the last time!"
"After that can we watch Finding Nemo?"
"No! Percy, only one movie tonight!"
"Tomorrow can we watch Finding Nemo?"
Annabeth didn't answer, only sat down on Percy's midriff.
"Owwww," he complained.
"Well, unless you want to move, this is where I'm going to sit while we watch the movie," Annabeth said.
"I can't get up with you on me," he whined.
Annabeth stood up, popcorn spilling from the bowl she held in her hands.
Percy slid onto the floor and began hastily picking up the popcorn and shoving it into his mouth.
"What are you, some kind of animal?" Annabeth laughed. She plopped down on the couch and placed the popcorn beside her. Grabbing the remote, she flicked on the T.V. and turned to Percy.
"While you're up, put the movie in," she said. Annabeth should've noticed the smirk erupting onto Percy's face as he browsed through the D.V.D's. Once he found what he was looking for, he slid the disk into the player and clambered back over to the couch, where he sat down on the other side of the popcorn.
Percy grabbed the bowl away from Annabeth and put it on his lap.
"Hey!" she protested, and squirmed closer to her boyfriend. Percy responded by picking up the bowl and holding it further away from her until she had to climb onto his lap to reach it. Snatching the bowl back, she tried to get off of Percy's lap, but his arm wrapped around her waist, blocking her path.
"You will never leave my lap," he declared.
"Why not?" Annabeth smirked.
"So you can't change the movie."
With a sinking feeling in her stomach, Annabeth turned back towards the T.V. There, displayed proudl in bold letters, was the title of the movie.
Finding Nemo.
"Noooooo," she moaned.
"Yes," Percy said through a laugh.
She frowned at him as the movie began to play, but stayed put in his lap. Throughout the movie, she didn't notice herself snuggling closer, his arms wrapping her tighter. She didn't notice when the popcorn bowl, empty, clanged to the ground beside them. She certainly didn't notice when she fell asleep, Percy looking at her adoringly.
The movie ended a while later, and Percy, not wanting to disturb Annabeth, silently shut off the T.V. before he too closed his eyes.
Annabeth woke up the next morning, still tangled in Percy's arms. She felt Percy stir beneath her. He cracked an eye open.
"This couch will forever hold my greatest memory," he declared.
"And why's that?" Annabeth said groggily.
"This couch signals the time I beat Annabeth Chase."
"Savor the moment, Seaweed Brain, because it won't happen often," Annabeth muttered.
"Oh, I wouldn't be too sure of that," he mumbled into her hair.
Annabeth tilted her head up and lightly kissed Percy's chin. "Oh, I would be," she said. She made to get up, but Percy's arms held her down.
"Not quite yet, Wise Girl," he said. "I'm still savoring the moment."
Annabeth sighed, but didn't protest as she settled back onto Percy's lap. "I'm going to have to throw out this couch," she yawned.
Well, that was my first one! Sorry it's a little short; the word count isn't quite what I wanted it to be, but oh well. Prompts, ideas, reviews!
