Percy was hanging out with Jason, Leo, and Frank. The boys of the seven were at Jason's house he shares with his fiancee Piper. Years had past now even the youngest of them was past 21.

The boys were here while the girls felt the need for a girls trip for the weekend. Today was Monday, the day they were supposed to get back. A few more hours and then Percy could see Annabeth again. He never got over the fact that Annabeth was his.

Everytime she walked into the room he was in she would take his breath away. No matter if the ring on her finger said she'd be there for the rest of their lives Percy treated her like a precious gift that could be taken at any moment.

The guys were just catching up when Jason asked if anyone wanted a beer. The only one to say no was Percy. Jason shrugged and got three beers. He sat back down and tosses Leo and Frank their beers.

No one really noticed Percy shift in his seat a bit. He just watched the TV and messed with riptide. He wore a Led Zeplin T-shirt with dark jeans. His black hair was still as messy as always but his green eyes took an edge as he trained them on the TV.

Jason propped up his legs on the coffee table. He wore light jeans with a superman shirt Piper had bought him. He opened his beer and took a drink. Frank followed his example and propped up his feet. Frank wore a black shirt and khakis, like usual.

Leo was sprawled over an arm chair in his regular of a white work shirt, black work pants, suspenders, and a took belt. His cray curly brown hair was just as crazy as usual. He drank from his beer and thought about Calypso getting back.

The smell from the beer hit Percy a second after his friends opened the bottles. He almost gagged but swallowed and watched the TV. The smell got stronger and Percy started to sweat. He knew they were his friends, and that he had died years ago.

Percy was pale but crossed his arms only slightly leaning away from his friends from his position by Jason on the couch. Jason looked over at Percy with worry on his face. Percy smiled one of his best fake smiles and shifted again.

Frank and Leo looked at him now. When Percy couldn't take it anymore and got up to go to the bathroom the other guys looked at each other. Something was up.

Meanwhile Percy was bent over the sink trying to take deep breaths. He winced as memories over took him. He splashed cold water on his face to clear them and walked back out.

The guys all looked at Percy with worry and he just smiled and sat down. But he just sat down, not on the couch, on the other and chair way from the others. Jason was trying to figure out what to say to Percy when the door opened. Piper walked through.

"I'm home! The other girls are her too!" She shouted. The girl walked in to the living room. She had her hair down with tiny braid in it and feathers. She wore a baggy sweater and ripped jeans.

She was fallowed by Calypso who had on a lose white tabletop with a black cardigan and white jeans. Hazel was shortly behind. She had her hair down and wore a black top with a golden heart and golden colored jeans.

Annabeth was the last one in and she had her golden curls up in a ponytail. She wore a grey long-sleeved shirt with 'Queen Nerd' on the front and black jeans. Her grey eyes landed on Percy and she smiled.

Percy smiled. But Annabeth knew something was off. She walked over and sat on his lap and wrapped her arms around his neck. "What's up?" She asked quietly. The others were catching up with each other.

"Um... Nothing really." Percy smiled and his face did seem to clear up like he was getting better. Her looked her over and trained his eyes on her. Percy wrapped his arms around Annabeth waist and leaned his head down on her shoulder.

Annabeth sighed. She knew something was up. Then she smelled it. Beer. She looked around and saw that the other guys each had a beer in their hands. It clicked.

Percy had given Annabeth the barest mount of details about his first step-dad. But he mentioned the beer. Annabeth held in the snarl she wanted to loose, the others didn't know, she barley knew, she couldn't blame them.

Annabeth saw there was a candle on the coffee table. She untangled herself from Percy who let out a noise of protest. She grabbed the guys' beers, much to their displeasure, and threw them out. Next she lit the candle, vanilla, and set it next to Percy on a tiny table.

The others looked at her weirdly but she just gave them a look like 'Drop it or I'll kill you' so they shrugged it off. She sat back down on Percy's lap and tucked herself into his side.

Percy smiled at her and kissed her temple. "I love you." He whispered. It sent chills down her spine but she smirked anyway not letting him win. "If there weren't people around I'd show you how thankful I am. But alas, you wish to stay here." He sighed even as a grin split his face.

Percy placed a hand on Annabeth hip. She fought back the blush and the running out the door just to learn exactly what he meant. She calmly got to her feet grabbed his hand and waved to her friends as they left. Percy snickering the whole way.
