Percy ran into the apartment lobby and brushed the rain out of his hair. He'd forgotten to bring his umbrella, but he'd been lucky that he was wearing a windbreaker so that his clothes didn't get completely soaked. There was a blonde girl waiting in the middle of the lobby, constantly looking between her wrist watch and the door while giving off little exasperated sighs. When she saw him, her eyes narrowed dangerously, and Percy found himself grinning despite himself as he walked over to her.

"You must be Annabeth," he said, offering his hand to her. "I'm Percy, it's good to meet you."

"You're late," she sniffed, lightly touching his hand for a second instead of shaking it.
Percy brushed his hair with his hand once more to get rid of the excess water as he spoke. "Yeah, sorry about that. It was really coming down out there. Cats and dogs - the whole nine yards," he explained.
Annabeth rolled her eyes. "Whatever. Do you have the lease with you?" she asked.
After fishing around in his jacket pocket he produced it and was happy to see that it wasn't the least bit damp. He gave it Annabeth and she quickly signed it before turning it in to the receptionist up front. A few minutes later, they were finally given the keys for their room. The receptionist had asked them, like everybody else, if they were boyfriend and girlfriend.

When they said that they weren't that naturally elicited strange looks, but they were both used to that.
Being the absentminded person that he was, Percy had forgot to apply for university housing in time for the deadline, leaving him to scramble for housing. All of his friends were staying in the dorms, so he had to post on Facebook groups to try to find someone that he could rent an apartment with. The only person that had replied had been a certain Annabeth Chase. Rooming with a girl hadn't really crossed his mind, and he didn't jump on the offer right away, but after no one else bothered to reply, he decided he didn't have any other options.

"So how did you end up getting stranded for housing? You seem like the kind of person that doesn't mess things up like that," Percy said as they rode the elevator up to the fourth floor.
Annabeth shot him a look.

"I was going to live with my boyfriend, but we broke up a few weeks ago. By then, I didn't have a shot at getting university housing, and I saw your ad," she said.

"Huh, sorry to hear about that," Percy said, and Annabeth didn't respond.
It took a while but they started to transfer all their belongings into the apartment. Getting the furniture into the dinky apartment was the most difficult part. Annabeth had promptly stolen the only bedroom before he had a chance, so Percy was left with the living room. He just used the futon that he'd bought to sleep on since it also served as a sofa.
Annabeth had given him a piece of paper the first day that they'd officially been moved in. Percy squinted as he struggled to make out the small print.

"What's this?" he asked her.

"A roommate agreement," Annabeth said.

He looked up at her with furrowed brows. "A what?" he asked.
Annabeth sighed and rolled her eyes, something that Percy quickly realized was something of a habit of hers. "Didn't your RA make you do this last year? Basically you just work out what's allowed and what isn't allowed when you're living together. It makes your wants known to everyone so that you don't have to deal with stuff that annoys you or makes you uncomfortable," she explained.

"Oh," Percy said, looking back at the paper.
She pointed to a line. "See here, I state that I don't want us to go for more than a week without emptying the trash or cleaning the toilets," she said.

"You're kind of a clean freak, huh," Percy muttered to himself, but apparently it wasn't quiet enough.

"Excuse me," Annabeth snapped. "I'm sorry that I don't want to live in a place that smells like shit. This isn't going to be like a guys locker room."
