"Got any fives?"

"How do you do that?!" Percy threw his card at Annabeth, who was sitting across from him on the floor.

"I'm just that cool," Annabeth smirked as she put her pair down, marking the seventh one made. "You're the one who wanted to play Go Fish."

Percy grumbled. "Yeah, because I thought I was good at it. Got any twos?"

"Go fish," Annabeth grinned. "Why, because it has the word 'fish' in its name?"

Percy chose not to respond as he plucked a card from the deck. They had a few free hours after they had taught the advanced sword fighting class together, and decided to longue in Percy's cabin. And then he suggested playing Go Fish, mostly because he didn't know any other card games and they would probably all require strategy and why on Earth would he challenge a daughter of Athena in a game of strategy?

Now he was regretting it, staring dejectedly at the place where he would place his pairs, if he had any.

"If you're going to be bratty about it, I'll just leave," Annabeth teased. She stood up and started walking towards the door.

Percy scrambled after her. "Wait, no, don't go, I have nothing else to do!" He caught her wrist and pulled her back to him. Apparently he put a little too much force into it because Annabeth ended up crashing into his chest.

"Smooth," Annabeth giggled as he held her. His arms had automatically gone to wound around her.

Percy smirked. "I know. I wasn't even planning for that to happen."

The next logical step would be to release Annabeth and get back to the card game. But Percy's arms didn't seem to want to unwind. Annabeth didn't appear to have any objections either, leaning in a little. Percy felt his pulse speed up as he noticed her eyes darting to his lips.

Of course they had kissed before; in the beginning it had been really awkward. He would constantly ask himself when should I kiss her, am I kissing her right, why did she just make that sound? Now a few months into their relationship they had gotten much more comfortable with the physical aspect, which was really all they needed to get accustomed to. They weren't a touchy-feely, PDA couple. There was a better chance of seeing Annabeth giving Percy a piggyback ride than them holding hands.

But they were teenagers, and every once in a while Annabeth's kisses were enough to make Percy go crazy.

Like right now. Her lips were soft against his, hands winding up his neck and into his hair. He adjusted his hold on her, on hand secure on her hip and the other going to the back of her neck and holding her head close to his.

Percy would have been content with one mind-blowing kiss, and then returning back to the game, but Annabeth had other ideas. He barely realized she was pushing him backwards until his knees hit the edge of his bed.

"Annabeth," He broke this kiss momentarily to gasp as he fell onto the bed, before sitting up. She just straddled his hips and resumed kissing him. Percy couldn't suppress his groan when he felt Annabeth's nails scratch lightly on his scalp.

Her lips turned up into a smile, and Percy moved to kiss down her jaw. Now it was her turn to sigh in satisfaction and his to smirk.

In retaliation, Annabeth snuck her hands under the hem of his shirt. The feeling of her hands on his bare skin made Percy clutch Annabeth tighter to him.

"Holy Hera!" Percy gasped when Annabeth began to drag her hands up, taking the shirt with her.

"I've seen you shirtless before," Annabeth pulled Percy's shirt over his head.

Percy stumbled over his words. "Well, yeah, but…I mean, not like this."

Annabeth rolled her eyes at him. "Are you going to stop being so shy or are you going to kiss me?"

"Can I get a please with that?" Percy grinned cockily.

Annabeth smirked as she leaned in close. Her lips brushed his, put she pulled away when Percy instinctively leaned forward. "Percy, can you please kiss me?"

Percy groaned when he felt Annabeth's lips brush against his and her hot breath. He pushed forward, one hand tangled in his girlfriend's hair keeping her head close to his.

Their lips moved frantically against each other. The only thing Percy was aware about was Annabeth. Her lips against his, her hands on his chest, her little gasps and moans. Their kisses were messy, lips pulling and gliding over each other, and occasionally a little nip.

Percy broke the kiss when he felt an arc of electricity go up his spine. Annabeth had found his Achilles spot.

Groaning, he buried his head into the crook of her shoulder.

"Is this ok?" Her voice was soft as she ran one finger across the small of his back. Percy moaned and clutched Annabeth tighter to him.

"Yeah," His voice was breathy, like he had just sprinted a few miles. "That's- gods Annabeth."

He kissed her neck, hoping he could convey exactly how that felt. Annabeth traced the spot around his Achilles heel, sometimes stroking it, other times going around and around, making his head spin.

Percy kissed her neck and moved down to her shoulder, bringing up a hand to shove her shirt away and expose more skin. Her shaky sigh encouraged him to keep sucking on her skin, kissing and licking her shoulder. His mind was a pile of mush; everything was Annabeth and what she was doing to him.

Annabeth scratched a nail ever so softly on the border of where Percy's skin turned from iron to vulnerability, but it was enough to send a powerful shock through him. He bit down reflexively on the skin that was in his mouth, but was careful enough not to break skin.

"Sorry," he murmured, but his apology was unheard as Annabeth moaned, long and loud. Her head was thrown back, giving her neck to her boyfriend.

Percy kissed her collarbone, up her neck and to her jaw before moving to her soft lips. Their lips clashed fiercer than ever, their skin was on fire.

A loud bang startled them from their passionate kissing. Annabeth cried out and toppled backward, Percy wrapping an arm around her waist and succeeding in catching her. With the other hand he mechanically moved to his pocket to pull out Riptide, which proved difficult because Annabeth was sitting on top of him. Annabeth crashed into Percy, and with a startled yelp he realized that her chest had been shoved into his face.

Cheeks burning, Percy steadied Annabeth as she hastily climbed off him and turned to face their intruder. Percy hastily put his shirt back on.

In the doorway to the Poseidon cabin, Malcolm stood with his arms crossed, clearly not amused. The loud crack that had startled the couple had been made by the door, which had been opened with so much force it had dented the wall.

"Malcolm," Annabeth tried to maintain some sort of dignity while she straightened her shirt and her mussed hair. "You're supposed to be leading the cabin through activities,"

"We left early from arts and crafts after Michaela suggested we use the time to work on individual projects," Malcolm's tone was frosty. "I was coming to get you, since you usually help the younger ones with their architectural designs, when I heard the strangest noise."

Annabeth nodded, trying to get control of the conversation. Malcolm cut her off before she could speak.

"I don't have a problem with you being in the same cabin together, even though it's against the rules. I don't even have much of a problem with you two dating. But what I heard is not appropriate."

"That's none of your business, Malcolm." Annabeth snapped.

He raised an eyebrow. "I think it is. I am your older brother."

Annabeth bristled. "Do not forget who has seniority,"

"Seniority or not," the son of Athena said. "I am older than you. I am your brother. And it's my job to watch over you."

Percy watched them exchange words like swings in a tennis match with wide eyes.

"I don't need protecting, Malcolm." Annabeth spat. "Percy is my best friend, he has been for years. He would never hurt me."

"That remains to be seen." Malcolm then turned to Percy, eyes narrowed. "If you don't mind, I just have a few things to say to Percy. You go ahead."

"Oh my gods," Annabeth groaned. "You have got to be kidding me."

Percy forced a smiled onto his face. "It's ok, Annabeth."

Annabeth gave him an incredulous look, and Percy just shrugged. It was going to happen, judging by the suspicious looks Malcolm and the rest of the elder part of the Athena cabin gave him.

Annabeth gave him another look; are you positive you want to go through this? Percy raised his eyebrows; it had to happen sometime.

With a resigned sigh, she planted one more kiss on Percy, seemingly just to annoy her brother. Percy was a little put out. Was she purposely trying to make things harder for him now?

The door closed behind Annabeth, leaving an apprehensive son of Poseidon and a displeased son of Athena.

"Let's get one thing straight," Malcolm started. "I don't hate you, Percy. I don't even dislike you for dating my sister. I respect you. You are a good leader and a good person. Of course, you will never be good enough for Annabeth."

Malcolm took a few menacing steps closer, making Percy brake out into a sweat. This was mildly humiliating, and a few parts terrifying.

"But by the gods, if you don't try to be everything she needs and wants, if you don't try to be more than that, any respect I hold for you will be forgotten.

"If you treat her discourteously, if you hurt her in any way, you won't just have our mother after you. You will have all the children of Athena out for your blood; some of the most brilliant minds in the world, the best fighters. Maybe you have a curse of Achilles, but physical pain is not the only punishment a child of Athena can dole out. Mental torture and playing with emotions is as brutal, if not more brutal, as any torture machine a child of Ares can dream of."

Percy gulped nervously. He was well aware that Annabeth's siblings were fiercely protective of each other. Malcolm and the older children of Athena were especially attentive to their sister's wellbeing, as they saw firsthand what had happened with Luke.

"And that stunt you two just pulled? You better not pressure her into anything. It's not your style, but if I hear a whisper, even a rumor of something degrading against your character I will hunt you down." Malcolm's voice had dropped to an icy hiss. "Is that clear?"

"You don't have to worry about me hurting Annabeth," Percy was surprised about how strong his voice sounded. "I would never- I can't even think about doing something like that. Intentionally." He added as an afterthought.

Malcolm glared. "Intentionally or not, if you hurt her it will be on your head."

He spun around and stalked out of the cabin, the door slamming behind him. Percy took a deep breath. He never knew Malcolm could be so terrifying.

"Percy?" He jumped and spun around, before identifying the voice as his mother's and seeing the Iris-message.

"What's wrong? You look like you've seen a ghost." Sally's eyebrows knit together as she studied her son. "I heard the door slam, who was that?"

Percy cleared his throat. "Oh, um, just Annabeth's older brother, Malcolm."

"Oh," her voice turned sympathetic. "How was it?"

"What?"

"The older-protective-brother-talk?"

Percy wrinkled his nose. "There's a word for it?"

"Mhmm,"

Percy nodded, his face gloomy. "It was kind of terrifying."

"Well, that's what you get for dating a daughter of Athena." Sally smiled.

That was fun to write. The last part mostly, the make-out session was a new challenge. I'm considering upping the rating to a T, possibly, but I just don't know how much more explicit content such as this will be added. It definitely won't jump to M, gods no; I would be horrible at writing that.

I am glad I challenged myself here, but I do need feedback.

Desperately.

Please.

As always, thank you for reading. If you could take five seconds to review, it would make my day!
