Note: Hi guys! I hope you liked chapter 1! Hmm let me think what to write up here...I hope you all are having a lovely day and are ready for some percabeth? Warning there is a slight spoiler from Mark of Athena, but nothing is explicitly said. ENJOY!
"Mmmm no..." Annabeth covered her eyes and felt around for her alarm clock, which was ringing a bit too loud today. She missed a couple times, before it suddenly shut off without her touch. She peeked out from behind her hand and smiled slightly.
"Morning sunshine." Percy leaned down and gave her a quick kiss, and sat on the edge of the bed. "How are you feeling?"
"Like a minotaur is running around in my head, ugh." Annabeth turned away from the sunlight of the window and buried her head into the pillow and the crook of Percy's arm.
"Here." He pushed a glass of water in her hand and Annabeth didn't attempt to move it to her mouth. Percy sighed, and pushed the rim of the glass to her lips so she could take a sip-or a gulp. She downed the glass in .2
seconds.
Percy chuckled and set the glass back down on the side table. He turned to run his hands through Annabeth's tangled hair, and she let him do so for a couple moments. "What are u doing today, Percy?" She asked, her voice slightly muffled by her pillow.
"Umm..I have no classes today, so I was just gonna stay in and have a chill day-i mean unless you wanted to do something then I co-"
Annabeth pulled Percy down onto the bed and he landed next to her with an "oof". She hadn't looked at Percy at all yet because the light coming from the windows was too much for her hungover state to handle. She could see him now, his hair still slightly rumpled with sleep, and a loose smile was lighting up his face.
"Soo then..breakfast?" Percy lifted himself up onto his forearms and looked down at Annabeth.
"Blue pancakes?" if it was Percy making breakfast, then that was what was probably on the menu. Not that she minded of course, they had grown on her over the years. She nodded in approval of Percy's suggestion, and if possible, his smile grew wider. He kissed her nose playfully and hopped off the bed.
"Let me just get a shirt on,I'm gonna be in the kitchen come on!" Annabeth rolled her eyes, and not so gracefully tumbled out of the bed. Pulling on a camp half blood t shirt, she walked out of the bedroom into the kitchen. They had starting renting the apartment 6 months ago, but Annabeth had fallen in love with the place. It was close enough to both of their schools, but also had enough space so that they wouldn't run into their professors necessarily down the street. They had gotten lucky with their floor choice, and all their windows were able to look down on the New York traffic and not the alleyway behind the complex.
Annabeth opened up the side cupboards and reached in to find the blue food colouring, just as Percy walked into the kitchen. He put his hands in the flour bag and clapped his hands, creating clouds of flour as he paraded around the kitchen counter.
"Percy!" Annabeth laughed as she got covered in white. "You're like a five year old!"
He got out the measuring cup and laughed out Annabeth's flour covered appearance. "A five year old who's gonna make us breakfast."
Two full fledged flour fights, one very messy kitchen and 5 blue pancakes later, Annabeth was draped over Percy's lap on the couch, and Guardians of the Galaxy was playing on the screen. She wasn't really paying attention to the movie(they had seen it four times now), but Percy was quoting the movie along with Chris Pratt.
"There's another name you may know me by...Starlord." Percy dramatically executed the line along with Peter Quill on the screen, then proceeded to crack up, even if he knew what came next. Annabeth looked up at her boyfriend, and her hands reached up to play with the ties on his sweatshirt. She just looked at him, really looked at him, when he wasn't looking at her.
His blue green eyes were twinkling with laughter, and his almost -black hair was ruffled up messily from being in all day. Annabeth loved it when he looked like this, it reminded her that Percy was a person, and not just a mega-hot, monster slayer, hero. She was still playing with his ties, and she tugged a little harder than she meant, causing him to look down.
"Whats up, Annabeth?" He paused the movie and put his hand across her forehead. "Is your head feeling any better? I can get more-" She sat up and held him around his shoulders.
"I'm good seaweed brain." She pulled back slightly and looked at him again. The pounding in her head had subsided a bit, and the world didn't seem as annoying. Percy had his hands on Annabeth's waist, holding her upright, as Annabeth had a firm hold on his shoulders.
"Tight grip." Percy chuckled as he looked to Annabeth's hands on his shoulders. She suddenly felt an urge to grab Percy as tight as she could and never let go. She knew that feeling because it had happened before...
The air whipped around them and they hurtled into the darkness below. Annabeth's arms were pressed tightly around Percy. She could feel his erratic heartbeat through his shirt and knew that hers was a hundred times faster.
"I love you." She said to Percy, not knowing if he could hear her or not, but it had to be said. Who knew when she would be able to tell him again.
They fell deeper.
"Annabeth?"
She snapped back to reality. Percy had a look of concern etched on his face and she wanted to cry. It was so long ago. Why did she still remember? She felt her chin being turned to face Percy and she then realized she was crying. Dammit.
"I'm fine, Jackson." She muttered, angrily wiping the tears away from her face. He still looked worried, so Annabeth wrapped her arms around him in a tight hug, her face in the crook of his neck. "Im fine." she whispered again.
Percy traced calming figure eights through her shirt while mumbling i love you and they stayed like that for a while. Slowly but surely, her breathing returned to normal.
After some time, Percy untangled himself from her grasp and lifted them both off the couch.
"Come on Chase, lets get you cleaned up." He tugged on her Camp-Half Blood shirt that still had some flour left on it from the morning. Annabeth was in no state to argue either, she was tired. She nodded her head and let Percy lead her out of the living room.
"After a shower, can we please continue this amazing lazy Sunday?" she asked. She hadn't had a day like this for a while and appreciated the break. Besides, they had been out way too long last night.
"Of course." Percy smiled. She made her way into bedroom and Percy threw his shirt in no real direction and opened the bathroom door.
"Ill be in the shower!" He called out behind him. Annabeth rolled her eyes and followed.
