Annabeth-
Percy, a young man of 21 with jet black hair sat on the other side of the room, looking chiseled and handsome as ever. His deep, sea green eyes were illuminated by the dim lighting, fixated on the TV. The apartment was small, just big enough for the two of them to live in, but big enough. The rent was good, and the city view from the window took Annabeth's breath away. She loved architecture. She was constantly thinking of new and exciting things she could do here, or a building that would fit in there.

They were meant to be watching something on the TV (it looked like it was about fish), but she knew they were both sneaking glances at each other.

The film ended some time later (thank the Gods, there was only so many annoying clownfish and forgetful regal tangs she could take), but by then they had managed to migrate over to each other. As the credits started rolling down the screen, Percy announced in his deep, rich voice that he was hungry. Realising she hadn't eaten for over 4 hours, Annabeth readily agreed to some macaroni cheese they found in the freezer. She started to pour a glass of lemonade, but the bottle was covered in condensation from the fridge, and slipped out of her hand, covering her in sticky, sweet smelling liquid. "Shit! That was my favourite jacket!" Her best grey hoodie was going to have to be washed, but as she took it off she saw that her shirt was soaked too. "Babe, can you, you know..." she asked, her arms up near her shoulders trying not to drip on the floor.
"Yeah, sure!" Percy replied as he came closer and began messing with the hem of her top, clearly trying to assist her in taking it off.
"Perce! I meant help with the fact I'm soaking and getting lemonade all over the place!"
"Oh. Yeah, I knew that" he said sheepishly, a grin forming on his tanned features. All at once, she was dry again, but sadly his water powers didn't cover sugar and lemon flavourings. She was still sticky from her chin to her waist and it was not pleasant.
"Thanks hun!" she said as she attempted to embrace him with open arms. He writhed out of the way just as the microwave started it's infuriating beeping to tell them the food was ready. "I'm going to get changed, leave some for me or I swear I will judo flip you again!" she said, her voice fading away down the hallway.

So that was Chapter 1 of Age Does Matter! I'm so glad I started this because it was so fun to write and I hope it is fun to read as well. Leave suggestions for changes or improvements and of course tell me about any spelling mistakes I made (I don't think there are any •_•). This one was a bit short just to see people's reactions, but the next chapter will probably be in a few days! I might put Jason in, but I might wait until chapter 3. Thanks!
