Seaweed and Wise - Never letting go

Playing with fire (they play games, Annabeth goes rogue)

I write these stories because I love them. I think these up, I got this proof that I've created something that may have brought a smile on someone's face and that's what I love... And whenever I need to just release emotions (bad or good really, there's always something going on honestly XD) for whatever reason, I come here and pour a part of my heart and soul out because that's just pure magic. Love doing this.
I love each and every one of you guys that come read this, write comments and communicate, start chats even with different people... This has been a big part of my personal growing and just...
I've never been one to share, 12 year old me would get anxiety over writing a comment herself, and now I'm thinking of asking whether you'd like to join me on my TikTok so we could be Percy Jackson dorks together... Yeah thanks Rick for that...

Now onto the chapter.

Annabeth should have never been allowed to touch the controller. Percy dared her to play and now he... Well... Suffered the consequences. She had called him such names even Blackjack would blush (he was fighting the urge to cry from laughing), she had almost thrown the controller at the TV several times (he stopped it mid-air once). And Victoria probably suffered the first trauma of her childhood as she pleaded for Percy's pig's life... "Mommy don't kill Peppa! Look how cute it is. Noooo-"
Percy put her up to it, but still, Annabeth did kill Peppa before stopping the game so they'd put the little rascal down finally since she stopped pretending to be eating her dinner about 15 minutes ago. The 3 year old was a better than average gamer too but they let her play different games. More kid friendly, like Finding Nemo or Hercules... Anything Disney or educational, but if Victoria lasted more than a few minutes it was already a record. The kid was about as hyperactive as the couple combined.
Then the daughter of Athena may have made Leo cry when he later came to ask if they wanted to order pizza too but stood in front of the screen, making her run into water and drown. Percy wasn't sure of that but he highly suspected it to be a possibility since Leo went away so quickly he didn't even have the time to order a pepperoni with extra cheese.
Annabeth was a sore looser, and that was an understatement because she played until her score was the winning one and however good she was, Percy was an amazing player too. Calls of "do not stab that grenadier", "oh you didn't", "you son of Hera", "not into the minefield you-" and such have sounded through the Jackson living room, accompanied by battle cries and crazy celebratory laughter when one of them got the other's pig... They controlled themselves enough not to wake the child but it was a show none the less.
Hogs Of War... It was a classic PS One game Percy knew since his childhood. True, he should have known better than have a daughter of the strategic war goddess play a strategic war game...
Percy smirked to himself. Amusement clear in his eyes. He loved Annabeth so much. That wild and crazy happy side of hers especially. The same Annabeth that impulsively jumped into Medusa's lair with him cause she wanted snacks just as much as he did. The same Annabeth that beat him in Capture the flag and enjoyed the fact for weeks and weeks. The same Annabeth that broke into songs in the middle of a store and turned anything into a microphone, carrot or a broom, to make their kid laugh.
"What are you thinking of doofus? It's your turn!" Annabeth handed him the controller, breaking him out of his thoughts. 
"Oh, yes honey, I love you too." Percy laughed, starting the walk with his current character. It's life was already so low and to top it of, Annabeth had gassed him in the previous round. He dragged the pig to Annabeth's medic and searched through his arsenal, looking through it as if staring at all the options in the candy isle.
"Don't do that again Percy, you always take my doctor out first you-"
"Yes?" Percy glanced at her, the unchained sea clear in his eyes. 
"I can heal you if you spare him." Annabeth tried.
"I'm your husband, not an idiot." Percy said, holding the X to release a grenade shower and pressing it again for the additional explosions to hit just at the right moment. Annabeth's pig went flying. Percy laughed at the squeal it let out as it spiraled into a minefield and exploded, leaving a nice pair of scorched boots behind. "Vengeance for Peppa Pig." Percy cracked up.
"I will kill you." Annabeth stated flatly, a devious smirk already playing on her lips.  
"Dying in the hands of my smokin' hot wife? Not that bad if you ask me..."
As soon as Percy finished that line, Annabeth shot and missed, she chose a target too far. He could see that she wanted to get mad. This turned the score bar to his color so drastically she had no chance to win anymore. But before Percy could take the controller for his turn, Annabeth not so accidentally pressed the move button and made his pig fall to death. 
Percy stared at her. "You didn't just forking do that, did you?" He demanded with all his might, not even trying to hold the amusement in.
"You asked for this... Really- Not that bad getting unalived by my smokin' hot wife... You said." Annabeth justified herself in a very bad imitation of Percy's voice.
"I'm not playing this with you anymore, like ever." Percy rolled his eyes, shaking his head. "You know what?" Percy took the controller from Annabeth, her eyebrows were furrowed, waiting for his next clever idea to come out of that mouth. But he just kissed her and she obliged to that, she rather liked that train of thoughts he had. She slowly lay down and he followed, kissing her lips torturingly slow, as if there was no tomorrow. She let herself get lost in his touches, in the sparks his fingers on her skin brought. Annabeth was a total goner up until the moment Percy stopped and licked his lips, towering over her and taking in the sight of her eyes storming, asking for more of that loving of his and her chest rising and falling with every slow breath she took. She took the sight of him in too and narrowed her eyes, suddenly her competitive instincts kicking back in. 
"Nope, oh hell no!" Annabeth slid from the couch and jumped up, leaving Percy stranded. "You, Mr. Asshole, you'll turn this around into another one of your top/bottom dirty jokes right in the middle of something very inappropriate to say while the kid could be eavesdropping upstairs. I can see the funny gears spinning hard in your mind." Percy was so taken aback once again since Annabeth looked so triumphant in destroying that intimate moment of theirs that he broke down right then and there.
And so Annabeth cleaned the table and put away their controllers while Percy actually shed tears, mimicking her jokingly on a payback repeat. She kicked his shin eventually as he moved to the kitchen to help her but proceeded to still giggle like a teenage girl set loose in a Jonas brothers concert. It was an interesting night that they had then, to say the least.

1. That game is everything you need on your PS (1, 2 or 3 compatible), really... You literally can't get tired of it :D
2. I wanted to write a lighthearted chapter so here goes... If you think Annabeth isn't a rage driven player once something doesn't go her way, then you're wrong XD Just imagine Monopoly with that girl and you'll know
3. Maybe this comes from all the "I'd be happy to just have a bunk bed." Tiktoks guys, but I laughed so hard once that came to my mind that I had to make the joke XD

Additional question: Any gamers here? I'm PS consoles all the way since I was like 3 and played my first game with my dad and brother... You can tell by the fact that I got a PS1, 3 and 4 and wouldn't trade them for a flying golden pig XD

Have a great one!
