A quick, feel good fic. Written for a special person.

Annabeth quietly walked into the Poseidon cabin. As she had feared, Percy was gone, fighting Gaea. Some campers had been left behind to watch over the camp, but most were out on the front lines. She walked over to Percy's bed, and laid down. She buried her face in his pillow, breathing in his scent. Demigods' lifespans weren't the longest, even at the best of times. Every time Percy went out to fight, he might not come back. It was a dilemma that kept Annabeth up at night. A problem she couldn't solve, even with all her Athenian smarts. She ran her hand under Percy's pillow. She felt a piece of paper. Odd… she thought as she pulled it out. It was a letter, with her name in Percy's writing on it. Her heart jumped forward a couple beats as she opened it.

Dear Annabeth,

Hey Wise Girl. I don't really know when you'll find this, or if I'll even be alive when you're reading it, but here it is. This isn't really a death note or anything like that, just insurance in case I… well, in case I don't come back to camp one day. It could happen, and it scares me. I know I can fight pretty well, but you just never know. Which is why I wrote this, in case I couldn't tell you myself.

I love you. So much that it's probably unhealthy. I think about you all day. I lay awake at night for hours, just thinking about your beautiful smiling face. Every time I see you, my heart jumps for joy, and my day gets better no matter what had been going on before. You're like my little slice of heaven. Sometimes, I wonder what I did to deserve someone as amazing as you are. I practically just want to throw myself in front of anything that would hurt you, and then just hold you and tell you it'll be alright.

I don't know when you'll get this, or if you'll ever even lay a finger on this note. I hope you do, there's no way I'd be able to spill my guts like this in person. I can even tell you, that right now, at this very moment, all I can think about is getting back to see you again. I miss you, and I hope you miss me. I'm worried that eventually you'll move on, and leave old Seaweed Brain swaying at the bottom of the ocean. I won't lie, eve had nightmares about that kind of thing, and then I'd wake up sweating. It's the worst possible thing I can imagine, living without you.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that… you complete me. I couldn't live without you, and I love you. I long to be home, holding you. Gods willing, I will be soon.

Love,

Percy

Silent tears streamed down Annabeth's face. She couldn't believe that Percy was capable of loving her that much. She didn't even know. She sat like that for a while, reading and rereading Percy's note. She didn't hear the door when it opened, and jumped when she felt an arm being out around her shoulder. She looked into Percy's captivating sea green eyes.

"Looks like my Wise Girl found the little secret." Was all he said. Annabeth looked at him, eyes still watery.

"I missed you…" She said, as she snuggled into Percy. He kissed the top of her head.

"I'm here now."

They lay together, her head on his chest as they held hands. Whatever the next day might bring, the next battle, the two could look back on this moment and smile, knowing that they at least had each other.
