Percy's POV
It was a peaceful day at Camp. Annabeth and Percy were walking in the woods looking for possible monsters to fight. People had gone away for the school year, so there was barely anybody at camp. It was in a way nice, but also partly lonely.
Percy and Annabeth had decided to stay at camp training for the rest of their senior year, so they could be together. Of course, they still would try and do some course work given to them by Chiron, but it didn't mean they had to be in the Big House with him all the time, unlike being in a classroom.
Right now, it was free time, and they were feeling bored. At least, Percy definitely was.
"How come there are no monsters?" Percy complained. Annabeth sighed.
"Well, there aren't many people at camp, and probably the monsters are taking a break, seeing that we have already defeated Gaia."
"But I wanna have some fun!" Percy pouted, looking at Annabeth with big eyes. Annabeth decided just to roll her eyes.
"Well, what do you want me to do? I can't exactly make a monster come and fight us, Seaweed Brain." Percy looked down, devastated. Annabeth grabbed his hand and said in a softer tone:
"Ok, Percy. How about we go to Aji? Just you and I, run off, we won't tell Chiron just for the fun of it." Aji was the island Percy found in the middle of nowhere, and he and Annabeth had decided to name is Aji: Annabeth' Jackson's Island.
Annabeth's grey eyes glinted mischievously. Percy looked at her, slightly shocked. Did Annabeth just say she wanted to break the rules? Well, she was never good at following them, anyways.
Percy grinned, and flung his arms around her. "Ack! Can't – breathe – PERCY!" Annabeth gasped. Percy pulled away, still grinning.
"When will we leave?" Percy asked.
Annabeth smirked. "Now?"
Annabeth's POV
Annabeth laid her head against Percy's back, content to be riding with him on Rainbow. With her arms wrapped around his waist, it felt just like the old days.
Annabeth wondered what Percy was thinking. Usually, it was probably about food or her. Annabeth smirked and kissed his neck. Percy turned his head and grinned stupidly at her. Annabeth rolled her eyes and kissed him.
As they were nearing the island, Aji, Annabeth thought about the name of the Island. Percy had thought of the name, and she agreed to it. But why?
Of course, Annabeth always wanted to spend the rest of her life with Percy, but she wondered what marriage meant. If Percy did propose to her in the future, she wanted to fully know the answer. Of course, they were only seventeen, but Annabeth wondered when he wanted to get married.
She shook her head, determined not to get caught up in this. She was too young! Stop thinking of things that only stupid girls think of! But was that a stupid girly thought? Actually, it was more of a true love thought. Then Annabeth thought of what true love meant. She and Percy were a perfect example, their love was definitely true.
But love didn't mean they had to get married, or have…or have…
"Uh, Annabeth, it's a little tight." Percy interrupted her thoughts, and Annabeth was distracted.
"What?"
"You're holding my waist a bit too tightly, sorry – uh" Percy managed, a bit red.
"Oh, gods, I'm sorry Percy." Annabeth loosened her grip. She scolded herself for being so oblivious to her surroundings.
"What were you thinking about?" Percy asked his voice curious.
"What?" Gods, Annabeth really needed to collect herself. "Oh, I was just thinking about-" What should she say? "I was thinking about us, and uh, what would happen in the future." Damn it, she was turning red.
Percy smirked, and said: "Well, we'd get married, that's for sure. Not too late, either. Definitely kids, what do you think?" Annabeth knew her eyes were wide, and she tried to not act so dumb. Percy said it so easily, though!
"Yeah, kids would be great; you'd be an awesome dad." Annabeth startled herself, and realized she meant what she said. Maybe she had thought of this before. Percy grinned, and then said in a more serious tone:
"We'd never abandon them."
"Never." Annabeth's voice grew quiet. She knew how important it was to have a loving parent. Giving their kids a chance to have two loving parents, that was the best gift she could give them. Her love.
"I love you, Wise Girl." Percy said, looking into her eyes with his huge green ones. They were filled with love, and oddly enough, Annabeth might've felt a lump in her throat. Ok, fine. She did feel a lump. It was a small one. Ah, but who was she kidding? Percy completed her. She loved him.
"Love you too, Seaweed Brain."
She rested her head against him once more, and thankfully sighed. The awkward conversation was over.
"Almost there!" Percy said. Annabeth smiled, she hadn't been to Aji in a long time, and was excited to explore the places they haven't yet explored.
"Good." She said, and spent the rest of the trip enjoying the salt water splash on her face while holding Percy.
