Hey guys. yea so...I was wondering if any of you would like to help me a little with this...I can't tell about it much but if someone out there is willing to get a little spoiler of how I'm gonna pull this out please tell me. Yes, I haven't updated for a while because yeah...I lack resources...the internet is so not all that after all but I will update soon. In the meantime Enjoy this one shot.

I woke up uncertain why I did. I turned to my nightstand. What the Hades. It's 2:45 Ante meridian. My girlfriend told me that, that stands for AM as in it's 2:45 AM.

You could see that I get like that sometime.

Well, it's only natural.

When you date the smartest girl in the world, you're bound to learn about things you'd never thought you'd care to know.

Annabeth and I've been dating for exactly five days now, well six since it's already tomorrow.

I surprisingly had a dreamless night.

It's weird because if you're a demigod you'd have dreams- more like nightmares that shows something about the future and stuff. You get use to it.

I haven't gotten used to it yet but I came to expect them, but the war is over so I guess does dreams are on a vacation for a while.

Hopefully forever.

I rubbed the sleep out of my eyes.

After a yawn, I decided to wash my face and scout around. The harpies would be out and about but I had the urge to go near water.

I'm a son of Poseidon for Zeus' sake, And...

I just really want to go to the beach for some reason something was...different.

Sure I'd always want to be near water but I feel like I'm needed there.

Not in a there's danger way.

Just in a your needed there way.

Maybe a sea creature was in trouble and somehow made me wake up in the middle of the night.

I shrugged and and went out my cabin.

Hiding from the harpies was easy...not. But that story is for another time.

The site in the beach shocked me.

What's wrong?

I quickly went over.

She must've sensed a pursuit because I was pinned with a dagger to my throat in an instant.

"Percy?" Annabeth carefully put away her dagger.

"yea, just me." I answered concerned.

"What are you doing here?" She asked.

"I was about to ask you the same this. Are you alright?"

It was obvious she's been crying just a second ago. Her eyes were red and puffy.

"I'm fine Seaweed Brain." She said.

"Wrong question for me to ask. I know you aren't." I wrapped my arms around her.

"Do you want to tell me about it?" I asked gently.

Annabeth rarely cries, I want to know how to make her feel better.

She didn't answer me. I looked at her face. Her mind was somewhere else.

"Wise Girl?" She whipped towards me as if remembering that I was there.

"Anna-" She sighed and leaned against me. I tightened my hold of her.

"I'm fine Percy. I just had a bad dream. I knew I wouldn't be able to sleep so I snuck out here to get a piece of mind."

"What was it about?"

My question seemed to only make it worse.

She choked back a sob.

"I mean...You don't have to tell me if you don't want to." I told her quickly.

"No...I-" She stopped to steady her breathing.

"Hey, it's fine. why don't we just go to my cabin?"

I suggested.

Annabeth nodded her head and stood, at first uneasy so I scooped her into my arms carrying her bridal style.

"Percy-" I silenced her with a kiss.

She kissed back after a while.

Too soon I ended it and headed towards cabin 3.

I lay annabeth on my bed and sat down in the edge.

I tucked a stray strand behind her ear and brushed my fingers in through her hair.

"Do you think you could sleep?" I asked.

She was already overworking herself with the designs for Olympus.

I'd let her get as much sleep as she could.

"I don't know..." She said in a small voice.

I pretended to be shocked.

"What? The Annabeth Chase doesn't know something? It's a miracle." I joked.

Annabeth glared at me like she wanted to punch me and she would have but lately she refrained from hitting me because it only hurts her while I don't feel a thing. Apparently having an acid bath has advantages.

"I'm just joking Wise Girl." I told her.

"Why don't you try to get some sleep." I said as I glanced on the alarm clock on my night stand.

"It's 3:50 Ante Meridian. Your whole body should be in a deep sleep by now." I added what she had told me before.

Apparently there's a time for each organ to sleep during the night but at four O'clock your whole body shuts down and your supposedly in a deepish sleep.

"Alright." She gave me a smile. I was about to stand when Annabeth tugged on my arm.

"You must be lost. This is your bed." She said.

That's when the awkwardness kicked in.

You see, we haven't bee on the sleeping on the same bed part yet.

No not sleeping together! Sleeping beside each other, mind you.

Annabeth scooted to the side and made some room for me but I didn't move an inch.

"Must I do everything?" she muttered as she pulled me down and I was beside her in an instant.

Annabeth buried her head in the crook of my neck while I wrapped my arms around her waist.

The awkwardness was gone. Laying down there with annabeth in my arms, It felt...right.

I sighed contentedly closing my eyes.

"Percy?" Annabeth asked.

"mm-hm?" I looked down at her as she looked up. She wore a serious expression.

"C-Could you promise me something?"

"Uh...sure." I said. She supported her weight with her elbows.

"Promise me...you'll always be here. That you'll never leave me?" I guess she didn't mean it to be a question but that's how it came out.

It struck me.

Was that what her dream was about?

"Oh Wise Girl, I promise I'll never leave you. I'll always want to be by your side. I'll always be here for you. Know that if ever I'm not here or if I'm gone. It was purely against my will. I'll never want to let you go." I said truthfully.

"I swear on the river Styx." I added in a whisper.

Annabeth heard it anyways. Thunder rumbled outside as she looked me in the eyes.

"Me too Seaweed Brain." She nestled back into my chest.

"I love you." She told me as she started to drift to sleep.

"I love you." I told her without adding the 'too' part because I wanted her to know that I said I love her not because she said it first but because I really meant it.

I heard her sigh in content as she fell asleep. I felt her breath evenly against me.

I thought about my promise before I drifted to sleep at exactly four Ante Meridian.
