Paul stared, wide eyed at us for what seemed like forever. Finally he spoke.

"How long has this been going on?" He sounded so confused, and I couldn't help but smile slightly.

"Ugh-"

I was cut off answering when mom rounded the corner to my room.

"Paul- Oh. Annabeth? When did you get here?"

Mom looked between the three of us, silently asking for some sort of explanation as to why the room was full of awkward silence. When that silent plea wasn't answered she decided to speak her question allowed.

"Can someone please explain what in the world is going on?" She looked at Paul, then Annabeth, and finally her gaze fixed itself on me. "Percy, it is your room, please explain."

I sigh, I guess I couldn't keep it a secret forever. "Paul caught me and Annabeth in a, what do you call it, private moment? Awkward, maybe?"

"I would say both." Paul put in, finally regaining composer, gods it wasn't like we were doing anything too inappropriate.

"You two?" Mom motioned between me and Annabeth. We both nodded, our cheeks heating up. "Since when?"

I was going to answer but Annabeth interrupted. "Last year, Percy's 16th birthday to be exact." I nodded again, agreeing with Annabeth's statement.

"Okay...Well, ugh, Annabeth would you like to stay for lunch then, since you are here?"

"Sure, I would love to." Mom nodded her head more to herself than to us before leaving the room, Paul and Annabeth following. I waited behind a minute, calming myself down. When my cheeks no longer burned in embarrassment, I walked into the living room to see mom and Annabeth talking.

"Hey." Really Percy, hey? Gods work on your greetings.

"Percy, join us." my mom motions for me to sit beside her, the seat farthest from Annabeth.

I sit beside her as her arm wraps around me. "Paul went to pick up some pizza. While he's out I feel like we should set some ground rules now that you two are a thing." She smiled at us both, and I felt my cheeks heat up once again. Annabeth however, looked perfectly content.

"First, no being in your room alone with the door closed." We nodded. "Second, no inappropriate behavior, of any kind." We nodded. "And no spending the nights unsupervised."

3 rules? I expected at least 20, 30, maybe. But 3? I'll take it!

"Are we clear?" My mom's voice held seriousness, but there was a sweet smile on her face.

"Yep."

"Yes, Mrs. Jackson."

"Okay." Just then Paul walked back in with two boxes of pizza. We all got up from her seats and made our way into the kitchen. It was silent as we ate, no one braver enough o break it. Funny how we fought in a war but we couldn't even talk to mom and paul after one awkward moment. What a hero I am, huh?

So, that's how dinner went. All of us eating in silence, not making any move to break it. After we were finished we all went to watch a movie in the living room. Me and Annabeth were seated with Paul and mom between us might I add, and before we knew it, it was time to leave for camp.

Annabeth had left to get her stuff, and I was saying goodbye to mom and Paul.

"I'll miss you, Percy." Mom said hugging me tightly. "You and Annabeth better behave." she smiled one more time before letting go of me.

"Have fun, but not to much fun." Paul bro hugged me, and I made my way out the door.

"Oh and Percy." Mom called when I was halfway out the door. "I'm glad you two are together, don't let her go Percy. I see it in your eyes how much you like her. Good luck with camp."

Mom shut the door in my face after that, gee thanks. I made my way to the camp that held so many memories, but most importantly, the camp where Annabeth will be waiting for me.
