Percy
Percy only woke up because his arm was stiff and there was some unusual weight on it. He forced his eyes open and looked down at his arm. Oh. Right. Annabeth was sleeping on it. Percy smiled.
Annabeth.
She was laying with her head on his bare chest, arm draped across his stomach. Even while she was asleep she looked perfect. She breathed lazily, her mouth slightly open, her golden hair falling onto the bed. Annabeth looked amazing. Also, she wasn't wearing a single thing. That probably helped.
Percy's smile broadened and he tightened his arm around her, his other hand reaching over to play with her hair. He wasn't even thinking about waking her. He wasn't thinking much of anything other to be honest.
It was rare for Percy to be up before she was. Usually Annabeth had this crazy routine where she woke up at 7 to go for a jog and do some "light reading" (usually involved some schematics to some crazy machines where Percy couldn't even pronounce the titles of). He was okay with it but there weren't many times where he could stare at her without feeling like he'd get caught. Percy could look at her forever.
Forever...
Hypno's had said that to show him his greatest dream, he'd show Percy his greatest fear. Losing Annabeth.
Percy tightened his arm around his girlfriend, protecting her from whatever invisible danger surrounded her. Losing Annabeth would mean losing himself. There wasn't anything or anyone that would be able to put him back together if she... No. It wouldn't happen. He'd have to keep her forever. They'd get a house together like he saw in the Roman Camp. He would ask her to marry him and they'd be together for the rest of their lives.
That was it. That was his greatest dream. Not becoming an all mighty demi-god (though that wouldn't hurt), not becoming the best at whatever... It was to marry and have a family with the girl that called him a seaweed brain and told him without humor that he drooled in his sleep when they first met. It was so simple it made him chuckle slightly.
"What is it?" a voice muttered. Percy looked down to see that Annabeth was waking up. With one eye open, she was glancing at him and smirking.
"Nothing. Just... figured out what Hypnos was trying to tell me." He reached over and caressed her face.
"And what would that be, seaweed brain?" Annabeth asked while slowly and clumsily propping herself on one elbow next to Percy's head. Suddenly Percy wasn't sure he wanted to tell her. He was scared. Maybe she didn't feel the same way? What if it freaked her out and she left him? She wouldn't do that though... right?
"I'll tell you another time." Percy leaned up and kissed her deeply while running his hand over her exposed waist. She responded just as passionately which was a good sign. Maybe he hadn't freaked her out with last night's activities.
Percy leaned back and looked at her. Annabeth's eyes were hooded and the lusty look was back in them. Percy didn't think that he's ever get used to that look. He managed to whisper out her name.
"Yes, Percy?" Annabeth asked.
"Annabeth... about last night... did I..." Percy didn't know how to ask the question he wanted to ask. He dropped his eyes. Her staring at him with that look wasn't helping his brain function. Besides, he was embarrassed. "I mean... I didn't pressure you into.. doing what we did.. last night. Right?"
His question was met with silence. After a few seconds Percy glanced up, hoping Annabeth wasn't angry. Her expression was guarded. That probably wasn't good.
"Percy Jackson. Do you really think that you forced me to have sex with you?" Percy felt his face heat up and he looked away again. He didn't dare answer but she took that as a yes. "Your head is filled with more seaweed than I thought." She muttered. He glanced up questioningly. "You're an idiot.
"I mean, we never talked about it and suddenly I bring it up and it's not like we had a long discussion beforehand. It just sort of started and-" Percy was rambling.
"Percy. I've had a crush on you since we were twelve. Finally, when we were sixteen, you took a hint and asked me out... sort of. It only took me kissing you twice and Rachel becoming oracle for you to get there but... we got there eventually." She reached over and played with his hair, resting her elbow on his chest. "When Hypnos showed you, you know... what he showed you, I felt happy." She smiled slightly and looked at her hand which was still playing with his hair, slightly embarrassed to be saying these things. "It showed me how much you cared for me. I know you love me. Despite that you've never actually said it, by the way."
"I love you." He said desperately. It didn't even begin to cover how he felt about her. She looked in his eyes and knew he meant it and her smile widened.
"I know that now. Point is Percy, you didn't force me into anything. I didn't think it would happen like it did but... it still did."
"You've thought about it?" Percy grinned widely. He liked where this was going. Annabeth smirked and bumped him with her shoulder.
Annabeth shifted to get up. "Where are you going?" Percy panicked. His hand flew to her hips to keep her from moving any more.
"I'm trying to find my clothes. I guess since I never really got to get dressed last night then they're still in the bathroom."
"Why do you have to get dressed?" Annabeth chuckled in response.
"Because. If we don't get started then nothing's going to get done today."
"So? What's wrong with that?" Annabeth had just escaped the bed and was starting to stretch her arms above her head. "Actually. This... This is fine." Percy spluttered out.
Annabeth realized what she was doing. Stretching her naked body in front of Percy. Her boyfriend. Who she had sex with the night before. Her face turned beat red and she pushed a lock of hair behind her ear. She grabbed the first shirt she saw, Percy's shirt, which she threw to the ground the night before. She bent down to get it and heard Percy suck in his breath. Annabeth chuckled to herself a bit. She liked this new found power. Putting on his shirt, she spun to look at him.
His shirt was too big on her but it came to just below her butt. It looked great on her. Then again, everything did. He was staring. He knew he was staring. He wanted more. Would it be too soon to take her right now? If she didn't move herself from the room now then he wasn't responsible for his actions.
"You- we. I." Percy was sounding really intelligent around now. He was still staring. With a shake, he closed his eyes and tried to focus. "I'm going to shower." He went to get up and realized something. Looking sheepishly up at Annabeth, he asked "...can you find my boxers?"
She grinned at him and chucked his boxers straight at his face. "I'm going to see if we have any food left." She walked out of the room, shaking her hair out with her hand. Excess fabric was sitting on the curve of her butt.
"Focus, Percy." He thought to himself. He shook his head again and slowly made his way to the shower. Annabeth's clothes were still there alright, still waiting to be put back on. "Not if I can help it." He thought chuckling. He set them aside so they wouldn't get wet.
Percy stepped into the shower and enjoyed the warm water. While Percy could usually control water, this water wasn't straight from a river or ocean so his power over it was smaller than usual. It was the only time where he could actually get wet.
He thought all these things as he let the water fall over his face. Suddenly he heard a noise and felt something on his back. Percy jumped slightly and looked behind him. Annabeth was shyly stepping in, wearing only a hesitant smile.
"Can I come in? I figure we could save time if we showered together anyway. And save water. Is that-" Percy kissed her hungrily again and pulled her in. Once she was safely in, he pushed her against the wall and kissed her hungrily. She gasped and her body bowed quickly against the wall as if it were on fire. Percy pulled back and looked at her worryingly. She glanced up and gave him a sheepish smile.
"The wall was cold..." Percy laughed and kissed her again, this time running his hands through her hair and down her shoulders. Her lean body seemed to fit perfectly under his skin. His hands fell lower down her body until they landed on her behind where he squeezed it with slow passion.
Annabeth
She thought she could control herself. She really did. A girl who has had that much training and has had to survive by controlling her emotions, not letting them get out of hand, she should've been able to keep away.
But when she went to the kitchen to clear her head, she could only think about amazing the night before was. Annabeth lingered on the way his hands felt exploring her skin, her body. The way every kiss was filled with need, desire and desperation... she was getting excited just thinking about it.
Then the shower began to run and her thoughts brought her back to seeing him naked for the first time. His muscular torso, the way his sea form green eyes turned into the color of the deep ocean, his jet black hair crazy. He looked like he had just won the most important battle of his life. He won, and this was his prize. She was his prize.
Before she knew it she was asking Percy if she could get into the shower with him and they were kissing again. Sigh, would she ever get used to this? They couldn't spend all of their time doing this, right? She'd be able to look at him without picturing him naked? Without feeling his hands explore her chest?
He grabbed her butt tightly and she couldn't help but moan. Everything he did felt amazing. Percy was still kissing her deeply and she could taste the ocean on his lips. Her hands drifted to his hair. Percy pulled away from their kiss making Annabeth give a little whimper. He looked lustfully into her eyes.
"Would doing it again, right now, be too soon?" She grinned and pulled him back into her kiss.
