It was nighttime in Washington D.C.

Percy was fast asleep in his bed, expecting Annabeth to be right next to him.

But when he turned over and held out his arm to hold her, he felt nothing.

Percy awoke realizing Annabeth was gone.

He sat right up, fear taking over him.

Where was she!? What happened!?

He noticed a few lights were on in the place.

He stumbled out of bed, and then noticed something strange.

He saw a trail of clothes on the ground.

They were Annabeth's clothes and Percy's as well.

"What the?" he asked himself.

Following his curiosity, he followed them, picking them up along the way.

They all led to the front door.

Percy quietly opened it up, not wanting to wake up Grover or anyone else.

He went out into the hallway, and found another piece of clothing leading down the hallway.

Percy kept following them to a staircase then.

Now he was starting to get annoyed.

He followed and followed until he made it to the roof door.

He burst it open and yelled, "Who is the person leaving the trail of…!?"

"Oh hey Percy!" said Annabeth. "Glad you got my trail."

Percy stared out and saw Annabeth, sitting in hot tub, connected to a pool that was on the roof.

"Did you know this place has a rooftop pool?" asked Annabeth.

Percy just stared shockingly.

"But…when…or how…or…" he stammered.

"I couldn't sleep so I took a walk around and then found this place," said Annabeth standing up.

She was in her bra and underwear, which Percy tried to look away from.

"Don't be shy," said Annabeth. "You can look."

"Or maybe you can come back to bed?" asked Percy.

"Or maybe you can join me?" asked Annabeth grinning.

"I don't have a suit!" said Percy.

"Neither do I," said Annabeth. "So strip down to your underwear and get in the water with me!"

Now she was sounding demanding.

Percy sighed, knowing she wouldn't take no for an answer.

He quickly stripped down to his underwear and then walked over to the hot tub.

Annabeth smiled, patting down on the seat next to her, meaning to sit next to her.

Percy smiled and then hopped into the hot tub.

Percy immediately felt relaxed and rejuvenated as he lied back in the hot tub.

He sighed out in relief as he laid back.

Annabeth smiled and then hugged Percy tightly.

"What are you doing?" Percy asked with a smile.

Annabeth just sighed back and squeezed Percy tightly.

"Don't let anything tear us apart from this moment," she said.

"What?" asked Percy.

Annabeth let go and then stared at Percy.

"I'm…" stammered Annabeth. "I'm just…"

Percy then noticed that water wasn't dripping down her face, but that she was crying.

"I'm afraid you won't survive this fight!" she said. "I don't want to lose you!"

She then got on top of Percy.

"So if that is going to happen," said Annabeth. "I need to get enough of your love to keep me going. For I may never get it again."

Percy almost felt like laughing.

"Annabeth," he said grabbing her wet and bare shoulders. "I am not going to die!"

He stared into her eyes.

"If Kronos couldn't kill me, then neither will this guy," he said.

"But…" sobbed Annabeth.

Percy shushed her and put a finger on her lips.

"Just enjoy this moment," he said. "For this won't be the last one."

Now Annabeth felt like laughing.

"I thought you said you didn't want to swim," she said.

"Well when I'm with you," he said. "I feel lively."

Annabeth just giggled.

They both stared at each other for a while.

And then, they both brought their lips into a wet kiss.

They kissed for a long time, repeatedly or just sucking one another's lips and mouths.

It felt so good. Percy never experienced love like this.

He rubbed his hands up and down Annabeth's back, feeling her smooth and wet skin.

He never wanted to let go.

They kissed and they kissed and then even proceeded to lick one another's tongues.

They both fell back in the hot water and continued to kiss.

At some point Percy pushed Annabeth of him and picked her up bridal style.

"Ahhh!" laughed Annabeth. "What are you doing!?"

Percy smiled, and then threw Annabeth in the pool.

She made a big splash and Percy burst out laughing.

Annabeth rose out of the water coughing.

"What the hell!?" she yelled. "That's freezing!"

She shivered.

"I'll warm you up!" yelled Percy.

He jumped into the water, splashing Annabeth.

He rose out, staring at her, and then laughed.

Then suddenly, water was thrown into his face.

Annabeth was now laughing.

"Now we're even," she said.

"Not for long," said Percy.

He tackled her and they both fought underwater.

They splashed one other and laughed.

Then they went straight back to kissing, but this time underwater.

Percy felt happier than ever.

Just having Annabeth with him made him feel safer already.

After a while Percy and Annabeth just let themselves float on the water looking up at the stars.

Percy looked over at Annabeth and rubbed her shoulder.

"I love you Annabeth," he said.

Annabeth smiled and stared at him.

"I love you too," she said. "And know this. I will gladly die to protect you from this Kratos."

Percy's smiled faded.

He suddenly remembered his dream he had before Kratos attacked.

He remembered seeing Annabeth get impaled by Kratos' sword and then flung into the next state.

"That's not going to happen!" yelled Percy. "I won't let any of us die!"

Annabeth smiled.

"Then you'll have to fight better next time," she joked.

"Oh shut it," said Percy.

"Make me Seaweed Brain!" said Annabeth.

"Yeah…not now," said Percy. "I don't want to get wet again."

They both just laughed out, not even knowing that Kratos was possibly on his way now.

Here is the first love chapter with Percy and Annabeth. I needed to have one to build story. And there will be another one more intense later.

See you next update! Review please!
