They had already seen the pictures online, but this was the first time they were seeing the apartment in person. Annabeth had completely loved that the apartment included a balcony big enough to fit a table with chairs.
I don't know maybe Percy and her could enjoy a dinner out there with all the city lights at their sight.
Anyway, now she figured that Percy had requested for the online images of the apartment to exclude the ones from the balcony. Curtesy of his surprise. And now her second favorite part of the apartment was the medium size room that was most likely meant for a lounge area. It would perfectly serve as her work station.
"Will it be big enough?" Asked Percy.
"It'll do perfect! I'm thinking that the table will go in the middle and all the furniture around." She responded as she gestured with her hand enthusiastically around the room.
"That's what I thought. I told Daniel (the lessor), 'you better have something where my girlfriend can happily accommodate her architectural plans'" Percy said. "Of course he knew better than not to disappoint Annabeth Chase, daughter of Athena...my Wise Girl."
Annabeth laughed lightly. She thought about how fortunate she was to have him in her life. He was not only a loving and caring boyfriend, but he was her best friend and most appreciated companion. They have been through an excruciating tail of events since they were twelve years-old, and both of them have constantly looked back to each other in support.
Here they were now, about to move in together and start a whole new chapter of their life. It seemed fitting to settle down for a bit from all the fuzz of the past two years, in particular.
"Let's check out the bedroom" Said Percy.
Holy Hades, she had forgotten about that. For the past few weeks she had been mildly conscious about the fact that the apartment only had one bedroom. At the time, It wasn't a big deal for either of them because...well, they had been dating for almost two years now and were totally comfortable with sleeping in the same bed. They had done so multiple times at Camp Half-Blood (A secret to everyone else) after their return from Greece, and constant discomfort with horrible nightmares thanks to their horrible fall into Tartarus.
This was real now. They would definitely be sharing a bed for now on, and it made her feel a bit self-conscious. Not just because she might snore or kick or fart (hope gods not) while she slept, but there will come a time when they might want to go a little further into their relationship.
She shook the thought away as Percy opened the door to the bedroom.
"Here it is" he said. "I think um..." Percy sounded nervous himself. Annabeth didn't blame him.
She wrapped her arms around his waist and pulled him down for a kiss.
"All we need now is some furniture." She told him in between the kiss.
"Good idea." He said.
