Annabeth's POV:

The soft glow of lamplight cast a warm ambiance across the room as I sat nestled in the cozy armchair, a book cradled in my hands. Percy lay sprawled on the couch beside me, his head resting in my lap, his breathing steady and calm.

I gently brushed a stray lock of hair from Percy's forehead, smiling down at him as he slept soundly. Lost in the quiet stillness of the moment, I found myself content to simply watch over him, marveling at the peaceful expression that graced his features in sleep.

The words on the page blurred together as I continued to read aloud, the sound of my voice filling the room with a soothing melody. I read of heroes and adventures, of far-off lands and magical creatures, my mind drifting along with the story as I lost myself in its pages.

As the night wore on, fatigue began to tug at my eyelids, and I found myself growing drowsy. But still, I continued to read, my voice growing soft and gentle as the words flowed from my lips.

Glancing down at Percy, I felt a wave of affection wash over me. He looked so peaceful, so vulnerable in sleep, and my heart ached with the depth of my love for him.

With a tender smile, I closed my book and set it aside, my fingers trailing lightly over Percy's cheek as I leaned down to press a kiss to his forehead. "Goodnight Percy." I whispered, my voice barely a breath against his skin.

And as the world outside faded into darkness, I allowed myself to succumb to sleep, my dreams filled with visions of adventures yet to come and the comforting presence of the boy I held dear.

--------TIME SKIP (it's giving Kronos) -------------

The morning sunlight filtered through the curtains, casting a golden glow across the room as I stirred from sleep. Gently disentangling myself from Percy's embrace, I stretched my limbs and rubbed the sleep from my eyes.

Percy stirred beside me, his eyes fluttering open as he blinked away the remnants of sleep. A lazy smile tugged at his lips as he glanced up at me, his gaze warm and affectionate.

"Morning, Wise Girl," he murmured, his voice still husky with sleep.

"Morning, Seaweed Brain," I replied, unable to suppress a grin at his familiar nickname. "Did you sleep well?"

Percy nodded, stretching his arms above his head before sitting up and rubbing the sleep from his eyes. "Like a log," he said, his smile widening as he looked around the room. 

As we made our way to the kitchen to start the day, the warmth of the morning sun wrapped around us like a comforting embrace. And as Percy poured us both cups of coffee, I couldn't help but feel grateful for moments like these, moments spent in each other's company, where the worries of the world seemed to fade away.

With a shared smile and a promise of more adventures to come, we settled in to enjoy the simple joy of being together, knowing that no matter what the day held in store, we would face it together, hand in hand.
