Coach Hedge spent the first hour after curfew doing his nightly duty, walking up and down the passageway yelling, "Lights out! Settle down! Try to sneak out, and I'll smack you back to Long Island!"

He banged his baseball bat against a cabin door whenever he heard a noise, shouting at everyone to go to sleep, which made it impossible for anyone to go to sleep. 

Percy opened his room door after he tried and fail to fall asleep knowing that Juliet was right next door. Coach Hedge and Percy made eye contact as he casually flashed a peace sign, "Wassup?"

"Hey! Jackson! Back in your own bed if you don't want me to smack you!" Coach yelled as he spotted Percy walking towards Juliet's room.

"Yeah, Coach, got it," He patted Hedge on his shoulders while casually stepping inside Juliet's room and peeking out with a grin, "Hey, Why don't you check Augustus's room?"

Coach's eyes widened as he rushed towards Augustus's room and slammed the door open. Percy closed the door right as Augustus yelled curses out to him, "Fuck you Jackson!"

"You're a menace," Juliet looked at him in amusement from her bed as he grinned in satisfaction and jumped on the bed pulling her close.

Percy chuckled pulling the blanket over them and pressing a kiss to her cheek, "He's been asking for it since I saw him, I swear Augustus gets on my nerves on purpose," 

Juliet rolled her eyes in amusement, "You are talking as if you both don't have a secret handshake," She paused before softly snorting, "Augustus lied to Leo telling him you and Gus were actually into each other,"

"Ah yes the right use of his godly powers," Percy shook his head, "Using the Hermes skills to lie about being gay, what else can we expect."

Juliet chuckled, leaning into Percy's embrace, closing her eyes, she'd been too tired these days. Her hand drifted to his arm where the SPQR mark had been, "How did you take it off?"

Percy glanced down at his hand, his gaze darkening for a second before he smiled, "Doesn't matter, it was hideous anyways,"

"Perce," Juliet's voice was soothing as she spoke, "The thing with Achilles has it been-"

"Baby, I think you should sleep, your eyes are barely open," his voice was soft, Juliet could clearly see him trying to change the subject. She paused for a moment wanting to continue before sighing and giving up, settling back in his arms, "Fine."

Percy snuggled closer to her, and there was something peaceful about the rocking of the boat and the drone of the aerial oars as they scooped through the sky. Their eyelids got heavy, and they drifted off.

It seemed like only a few seconds had passed before they woke to the breakfast bell.

"Wake up asshole, or I'll castrate you," Augustus growled out on their door and Juliet opened it, already dressed and ready, giving him an unamused look, "Oh hey, Julie, wake up that mutant of a boyfriend you have will you?"

"Good morning to you too Gus," She smiled in amusement shaking her head and going back to wake Percy up who slept like the dead.

"How does it feel sleeping with a near dead body?" Augustus leaned on the doorway, sassing Juliet as she gently brushed Percy's hair trying to wake him, "That coddling ain't going to help, he needs to be kicked to wake up,"

"I'm going to call Annabeth on you," Juliet said while resting her hands on her hips.

"Bye," Augustus quickly back tracked and moved towards the mess hall, "I would much rather not piss my girl off first thing in the morning,"
