"I'm so done with you."
Percy threw his head back and laughed, and Annabeth had an incredibly hard time restraining herself from cracking a smile. He looked back at her, green eyes twinkling with both mischief and endearment, a look Annabeth had grown to be accustomed to.
"No, you love me, Wise Girl."
She snorted, but shifted and laid her head on her lap, stretching her legs out to the other side of the couch. "Whatever helps you sleep at night."
His fingers were immediately tangling in her hair, twirling her loose curls as she sighed and shut her eyes. "You do."
"You're such a dork."
"Nerd."
"Seaweed Brain."
"Wise Girl."
"Water Boy."
"Owl Head."
"Perseus."
"Jackson."
Annabeth's eyes shot open, her heart skipping around a thousand beats. "What?"
He glanced down at her, confused. "Did I say something wrong?"
Absolutely not.
"You called me 'Jackson'", Annabeth said, "which would imply that we're married...which would mean I'm your wife?"
She watched his face contort from a look of perplexion to pure embarrassment. His cheeks heated up, eyes widening as her words sunk in. "I didn't-that wasn't- I'm sorry, it was an accident, I swear-"
Now it was Annabeth's turn to laugh. She lifted her head up to press a hand against his warm cheek, and leaned in until their lips brushed together.
Her breath ghosted along his face when she spoke. "Of course, Seaweed Brain, you could change that, you know."
His eyebrows hit his hairline, and the traces of embarrassment began to fade from his features. "Is that a challenge?"
She shrugged, nonchalant. "Who knows?"
Percy shook his head, a smile playing at his lips. "You're definitely something, Chase."
"Don't you mean Jackson?"
He looked taken aback for a moment, and Annabeth pressed her lips against his briefly. He pulled her in closer, inhaling the strawberry scent that reminded him of home. Of safety.
When they pulled away, Percy rested his forehead against hers.
"Yeah," he breathed. "I definitely mean Jackson."
A/N: Just a little thing I wrote for a headcanon I posted on tumblr (which y'all should follow me on olehmpus). I have another fluffy one-shot I'm working to post soon! Keep smiling, xxx.
