Okay, thankyou for all your lovely, supportive reviews! I was planning on stopping aster that last chapter, but here is one more for you amazing people. But his will be THE LAST CHAPTER. So thankyou again for everything, and I hope you enjoy! :) xx

I couldn't sleep.

I had tried counting to one hundred, I had tried moving the water in the fountain to get really tired, and I had even tried banging my head against the wall so as to knock myself out.

But no such luck.

I shuffled in my bunk, wrenching the covers out from their tangled mess around my legs and punched my pillow in frustration. What was it, nearly 2am now? Seriously, I had to be up by 8. If I wasn't Annabeth would come barging in here with-

Annabeth. Okay, I was definitely awake now. After last weeks slight debacle, she had taken to flirting with me a lot. A lot. Which was definitely out of character for Annabeth. But whatever. I wasn't complaining.

Rolling over onto my back, I stared at the bottom of the bunk above me. My body was physically drained of energy, but sleep just wouldn't grace me with it's peaceful presence. Any other night I would be fast asleep and drooling before you could say saviourofolympus. But not tonight, apparently.

Turning onto my side, my gaze rested on the cabin door. I heard the hinges creek as it slowly blew open, and I immediately slid my hand under my pillow and closed my fist around Riptide in pen form. I sat in bed, happy for an excuse to get up, and swung my legs over the side to stand. My feet hit the cool carpeted floor, and I was careful not to trip on the jeans splayed on the ground. I made my way the the door, Riptide uncapped and now in sword form, but found nothing. No people, no monsters. I dismissed the thought, assuming it was just the wind.

I spun around and found a shadow in the dark standing directly before me. I lifted my arms back, ready to swing my sword, when a soft hand closed around my wrist.

"Percy, it's me!" The voice whispered harshly. I would know that voice anywhere. Annabeth. My heart rate slowed down considerably.

"Annabeth? You scared the Hades out of me, I almost took your head off!" I scolded, but my blonde daughter of Athena friend just snorted.

"I so could have blocked you," She retorted snarkily, and although I couldn't see that well in the dark, I could picture her challenging expression and her grey eyes shining menacingly. I rolled my eyes.

"Of course you could have. How on earth did you even get in here?"

Annabeth held up a floppy object in my line of vision. Her navy coloured Yankees cap. "Turned invisible. Would you like some company, Seaweed brain?"

I shrugged, trying not to notice my rapidly increasing heart beat, and saw her plop down onto my messy bunk. I took a seat beside her, resisting the urge to bounce my knee. A nervous habit of mine. Annabeth yawned.

"I'm exhausted. Aren't you tired?" She queried, perching her cap on top of my trunk and laying back on my bed, kicking her shoes off. I quirked an eyebrow at her.

"Comfortable?"

"Very."

I sighed, but didn't hesitate to lay down beside her. Our arms brushed, as the bed was small, but neither of us seemed to mind. I felt Annabeth twine her smaller hand with mine, and I felt heat rise to my cheeks.

"Have anything to say to me, Percy?" Annabeth asked nonchalantly, playing with my fingers. I swallowed nervously and didn't turn to meet her eyes, which I knew would be swirly stormily.

"Uh...no?"

"Put your seaweed brian to good use, I'm sure you can think of something." She replied, throwing her left leg over my right casually.

"Um, I promised to help Travis ask Katie out?" I tried, teasing her on purpose.

"Nope, that's not it."

"Uh...We have to teach the new kids sword techniques tomorrow at three?"

"No, no, something else." Annabeth replied. She rested her head on my shoulder and nuzzled into my neck. Despite everything, I still felt butterflies going crazy in my stomach.

"Oh, you mean that I like you?" I said, grinning. I swore I heard Annabeth's breath catch.

"Yeah. That."

I moved away from her slightly and turned over, her face inches from mine. She leaned up, her mouth right above my ear.
"Well guess what, Percy? I like you too." She whispered, and I knew she was smirking at me.

With a sudden rush of courage, I pulled her face down with both hands and crashed my lips onto hers. I felt on top of the world, and my brain turned to mush when she slid her hand into my hair. I pulled her closer by the waist as we kissed, our lips colliding fervently. I could have stayed there, kissing her forever, but she pulled away for air.

Without another word, Annabeth snuggled back into the crook of my neck, and I kissed the top of her head. Annabeth traced patterns on my t-shirt clad chest.

"You're cute," She stated quietly.

"I know."

Annabeth smacked me playfully, but I pulled her closer to me to show I was joking. There was not any space between us now, and our bodies both radiated heat. I pulled the covers up around us.

"We could get caught again." I told her. Annabeth just sighed.

"I don't even care," She mumbled sleepily into my neck, and I chuckled quietly. I kissed her forehead one last time, before hugging her closer and falling into the most blissful sleep I've ever had.
