Annabeth POV

She knocked on cabin 4's door, but there was no response. Where was Percy? Annabeth stopped knocking for a few moments and listened to the quiet night. Owls hooting, snores from other cabins, and... running water. She knocked harder on Percy's door.

"PERCY! Open up!" She yelled at the door. She heard footsteps, and the door opened.

"Uh, what's up, wise girl?" Percy mumbled awkwardly. Annabeth noticed he was wearing a towel around his waist. She blushed. "Sorry, Perce! I just... I'm sorry, I didn't know you were taking a shower." She could also see there was still shampoo on his hair.

"It's okay. Anything wrong?" Percy looked concerned. Annabeth could feel her face turning into a bright red tomato. "No, I was just having nightmares. I just wondered, if well... maybe, if you don't -" Percy laughed. "Yes, you can sleep here. I don't mind. But I will mind if I can't finish my shower first." Annabeth laughed nervously. "Go ahead. I'll wait."

She entered Percy's room, and he went back to the shower. Annabeth noticed he had gotten wet during his shower on purpose. She wondered why. She sat on his bed and took a look around. Beside his bed, there was a small table. On it, there were a few framed pictures. One of him and Annabeth, in New York's Central Park, having a picnic. There was another of Percy, Annabeth, Piper, Jason, Hazel, Frank, Leo, and Nico, after they defeated Gaea. Lastly, there was one of Tyson and him, after they conquered the fleece. Percy looked so young. He was twelve in that picture.

In that moment, Percy stepped out of the bathroom. He was in his pyjamas. Flanel shirt and comfy pants. Annabeth herself was in pyjamas. She wore a lacy shirt, and simple pants. He headed towards her, grinning. She was smiling, too. She stood up, and walked towards him as well. When they were close enough, Percy kissed her. She kissed back, her lips parting with his. He held her waist, and he kissed her neck. She shivered, but let him. She run her hands through his hair, and he caressed her back. He lifted her and she wrapped her legs around his waist. They kissed and Percy pinned her against the wall. He then carried her to the bed. They sat on it.

She pulled away from him, and slipped his shirt off. Her hands explored his chest gently, and Percy slipped hers off, too. He kissed her all over, with care. She laid down on his bed and he went on all fours above her. They kissed passionately.

That night, they slept together. Annabeth slept with her head on Percy's chest, and Percy was embracing her. The covers were over them. That night, Annabeth had no nightmares.

Percy's POV

The next morning, Percy woke before Annabeth. He ran his hands through her hair and sighed. That night had been better than anything Percy could imagine. After a few minutes, Annabeth woke up. She rubbed her eyes, and looked up at Percy.

"Hey, you." She smiled. When she smiled, her grayish blue eyes lit up, gleaming. She was beautiful. "What is it?" She said. Percy then noticed he hadn't replied.

"Uh, sorry. I was distracted with your beauty." He grinned. Annabeth covered her face with her hands jokingly. Each time she showed her face, she'd say, "Boo!" and make funny faces at him. He laughed easily.

He stopped for a second and stared at her. "Annabeth, I love you."

"I love you, too, Seaweed Brain." And she kissed him.
