Annabeths POV
I woke up at about 5:00. I looked over and saw that Percy was still asleep. I quietly got up and felt an ache in my back. I stretched and walked out of his room. I found a note on the dining room table. It said: Dear Annabeth, if you are reading this, Percy must still be asleep. He usually sleeps until 7:30 when he's sick. There's some food in the 'fridge for you. Take this time to enjoy yourself. The t.v. has all of your favorite channels. -Sally. I looked in the refrigerator and found some pancake mix (Why it was in there I didn't know). After about ten minutes, I successfully did two things.
1. Made two pancakes.
2. Made a complete mess of the kitchen.
After another ten minutes, the kitchen was clean. I ate and checked what was on t.v. There was a special on the History channel about ancient Greece. Before I sat down on the couch, I checked on Percy. He barely flinched. Content, I layed down on the couch and enjoyed my program. It was about 7:25 when Percy came out of his room. "Morning." He said and yawned.
"Morning. Want some breakfast?"
"Sure."
I started to get up but Percy stopped me. "I'll get it."
"Okay." He made his breakfast and sat down on the couch next to me. There was an akward silence. Finally, Percy broke it. "This is wierd isn't it?" He asked.
"Just a little." After a few minutes, someone knocked on the door. I opened it to find Nico standing there with a few boxes. "Hey, Nico."
"Hi. Can I come in?"
"Yeah, sure."
"Hey, Nico." Percy said from the couch.
"Hey, Perce. Whats wrong with him?" Nico whispered.
"He's sick. I'm taking care of him."
"Where's his parents?"
"They're on their honeymoon."
"So, you're like, alone? With the entire apartment to yourselves?"
"Just give me the boxes." I took the biggest and put it on the table. "Clothes" was printed on it. Nico put his two next to mine. "Celestrial Bronze" and "Other" were printed on them. "Thanks Nico."
"Anytime." He said and walked into the shadows, literally.
"Well, I'm officially moved in. Um. . . where can I put my clothes?"
"Theres a bunch of space in my dresser. I think it's enough room."
"Thanks." I kissed him on the cheek, picked up the boxes and walked into his room. I put my clothes in his dresser, and opened the other boxes. I layed everything down on the bed. I had my sword and armor, some books, a pillow, my laptop, all of my sketch pads and a little stuffed Minotaur (Percy gave it to me for my 17th birthday, symbolizing the first time we met). I heard Percy close the bathroom door. There was another noise, and then the sound of running water. I walked to the door in Percys room and knocked. "You okay?" I asked. He opened the door. "Yeah, just that those eggs didn't agree with my stomach."
I stepped back and looked him over. "You need a shower. Your hair's a mess." He nodded and turned the water on. "Leave your clothes on the sink. I'll get you a new pair." I said and walked out. I grabbed the first shirt and pants I saw. I walked back into the bathroom. I replaced the clothes, and threw them into the hamper. I could use a shower, too. I thought. I put my robe on and waited for Percy to get out of the shower. A few minutes later Percy came out of the bathroom bone dry. "My turn." I said.
Percys POV
I got dressed as Annabeth showered. I went to my room, turned on the t.v. and started flipping through the channels. I found a movie that said that it was about a twelve-year old boy who found out that he was the demigod son of Poseidon. I burst out laughing. Annabeth walked in then. "What's so funny?"
"This movie. It's about a twelve-year old who finds out that he's the son of Poseidon." I said. "Nice robe." She layed down next to me. "Thanks." We sat there for half-an-hour without speaking. "This is freaky. It's almost exactly like what happened to us." Annabeth said. I nodded. The movie ended an hour and a half later. Annabeth yawned. "It's getting late. I'm going to get to bed." She walked into the bathroom, changed, and walked back out and headed to the couch. She sighed and looked at me. "Percy, can I sleep with you? No offense, but that cou. . ."
I held up my hand. "Hop in." She crawled in next to me and put her head on my shoulder. "Night, Seaweed Brain." She whispered. I kissed her cheek. "Night." I turned out the light fell asleep to Annabeth's steady breathing.
