Memory 9: Good(night,bye)
Annabeth snuggled close to Percy as they walked back to her cabin. His arm was circled around her waist, and she was grateful for the extra warmth. Their feet moved in synch.
They stopped in front of Cabin Six. Annabeth's grey eyes sparkled. "It's good to be back," she said turning to face Percy.
"Why? Did you miss... This? He puckered his lips and flourished his hand around his face.
Annabeth laughed. "Yeah, okay, Seaweed Brain, you keep telling yourself that." She grinned, lacing her fingers with his.
Percy rested his warm palm on her cheek. "You sure about that?" He murmured, pulling her closer.
Annabeth shut her eyes, leaning into Percy. Together, they shut out the cold with the warmth of their kiss. Percy's lips were soft and inviting, sending all the emotion and power of the sea racing through Annabeth's bones as they moved against hers ardently.
The air was so cold, she could hardly pull herself away to catch her breath. Percy grinned goofily, the child-like delight obvious in his ocean-bearing eyes. "Goodnight, Annabeth," he whispered, leaning in again and pressing his lips against her forehead fleetingly.
"Goodnight, Percy," she whispered back. Annabeth watched from the doorway of the Athena cabin as he made his way to his own cabin, safe and sound in the night.
some of you might be wondering "What? No birthday kiss?" but really had no desire to do a memory for that. It was so clearly spelled out in the book, I don't think that would be necessary.
