Sweet Dreams

Percy's POV

Annabeth is passed out on my mother's couch. We'd had a long day and i'm sitting in the recliner, watching her. Sometimes I find myself just staring at her, thinking to myself about how lucky I am to have fallen in love with my best friend. I watch her chest rise and fall evenly, thanking the gods silently that we are both still here. Glancing over at the clock, I see it's almost midnight. My mother and Paul went to bed hours ago.

Knowing Annabeth, she wouldn't sleep without nightmares and I can't sleep on the couch with her. Standing up, I scoop her into my arms easily, cradling her. She stirs and snuggles in closer. I walk back to my childhood bedroom and lay her down on my bed. I slip into some pajama bottoms and climb in next to her. She's awake now and we stare at each other, not saying a word. I lean in closer, touching my forehead to her. After everything we've been through together, sometimes just lying with each other, even if we don't talk, makes it all disappear for a while. No monsters, no nightmares, nothing to pull us apart.  I kiss her, just a short little peck and she sighs. 

"I love you percy. I know I say that all the time but I really do. You're my best friend and I can't even imagine where I'd be if I didn't have you." Annabeth whispers. I feel her breath on my face and I breathe in her sweet scent. 

"I love you too. I would probably be a mess if I didn't have you to rein me in." I whisper back. 

"What do you mean, probably? You ARE a mess." She laughs quietly. Her laugh is such a magical sound and I sure am glad I get to hear it.

We spend the night just snuggled in together and eventually falling asleep. For once, we both slept blissfully and nightmare free.
