Seaweed and Wise - Never letting go

26. The past, present and future

This continues right after the previous chapter.

"Percy?" I whispered, my eyes closed, my lips on his. "You remember how I woke you up in the middle of the night and dragged you to the stables?"
He nodded. "Of course I do- gods..." he chuckled.
"That night I was so terrified that I wouldn't find you there in the morning that I couldn't sleep." My fingers traveled around his chest, savoring every second.
"Are we going to talk now?"
"Yes! Even you have to breathe." I laughed.
"Don't make me try to oppose that. I don't know... school talk? So you think we're gonna be in class with Theresa again?"
I trailed away from my Percy thoughts faster than you could say the word blue. She was the meanest mortal I've ever met, and she hit on Percy once. I bet she wouldn't do it again though... A nasty smile flashed across my face. Only thinking of her made me wanna punch her stupid face, again. But it truly wasn't fair of me to do, I could beat anyone in the school before they even realized what hit them... What was also unfair was her grabbing my boyfriend and kissing him in the hallway when she though she could take him from me because I didn't get touchy in front of others.
I got my first detention that day, ever, so Percy got ultra sassy in the class... It happened exactly 2 weeks before he was kidnapped by that lovely spiteful-
"I bet you didn't wanna talk about her, of all? Were you done before?"
"Just let me get to the point Seaweed brain. We only had a little time together before we went to the camp and the all amazing goddess of cows snatched you from me but-" I stopped and stared at him. He seemed like he just saw me for the first time. "Are you still in there Percy?"
"Huh? Yeah, you were just talking about Hera's relation to the cattle," he said, almost making me forget my point. Shaking my head, I spoke again "We found a way to each other, we always did. You and me, we survived the war and even married." I summed up the summer and Percy smiled, amused by my obvious rambling.
"I don't get where you're going with this Wise girl, just tell me already," Percy said jokingly.
I got so lost in his eyes that I had a trouble with speaking again. I propped myself up on an elbow, leaning on him slightly less now.
"I, um, I was thinking about what you said in the stables and then when I had the nightmare?"
I was a little scared of that plan of his.
"Do you mean like- kids?" He almost choked on the last word.
I nodded.
"I just need to know our plan Percy. If we go by some sort of plan I'm perfectly fine, I don't want any more kids for a few years," I muttered on.
"Well," he sighed. "I thought that Victory was enough for a few years but-" he started laughing and I frowned at him.
"What's so funny?" I nudged him. "Annabeth we only kissed a couple times and you're already worried about that?"
I was not amused by his joke. Just a little bit, yes... But even with how careful we were, luck didn't always play into our cards. And I was sure one of us would be pulverized by my mother if we slipped.
"Lets not make any plans about that. Not now is what we agree on."
"Fine." That was way too quick. "No plans about our life then." It was Percy, nothing could actually go wrong with him. With us. This boy fell into Tartarus with me and agreed to take care of his baby sister without second thoughts, even though we'll have our lives a little more complicated now.
"Was it hard to say?" He chuckled and I shook my head.
"You have no idea," I laughed. "So where were we?" I teased. Percy looked at me seriously before cracking a smile.
"Potato face?"
I shut him up, his salty lips set fireworks on fire in me. The whole world meant nothing. I was sure as hell that it did. Percy noticed the goosebumps when he ran his hand down mine, he took my hand and looked at me with a thousand thoughts, a million questions in his eyes.
Did he think that I wanted him to stop? Maybe... I laughed at that thought and kissed him quickly.
"I'm not gonna break Percy, you know that."
He rolled his eyes in response. "One's trying to go slow and gets scolded for it, damn you woman."
I flicked his chin a little and kissed, thinking of the first night we were free from hell. Where there was desperation and stress before, only goodness resided now.
"Do take it slow, please."

*I'm only implying at the end but this is their honeymoon guys, you can't be mad at me for that
