Between Confluent and Impermeable

I bit back a grin as I fished my apartment key out of my pocket. It was a good day spent with Stiles after showing him Manhattan. It was his first time here in New York and I wanted to show him around. We were able to spend the entire morning hitting my favorite spots, especially the skate park where Percy and I usually go to ride.

"So, you're promising me, that we're going to the skate park tomorrow and actually ride this time right?" Stiles asked.

"Yeah, for sure. I didn't know you used to skateboard." I said, entering the key into the lock.

"By the way, when do I get a key?" Stiles raised a brow.

"Never." I chuckled. Turning it and hearing the satisfy click, I opened the door.

"I used to when I was younger before Scott and I fell in love with lacrosse." Stiles informed me.

"Really? Did Scott skate too?" I took out the key and placed it in my front pocket. The both of us entered the apartment to see Percy laying on the couch watching a movie. My brother lazily turned his head towards us with a smile growing on his lips. "Oh boy."

"How'd you like Manhattan?" Percy asked. He sat up, laying an arm on the top of the couch. "It's a lot better than Beacon Hills, right?"

"Eh." Stiles shrugged. I rolled my eyes and closed the door behind us. "I guess I'm just used to the smaller city, but Manhattan is pretty nice."

"Did you show him the Empire State Building?" Percy turned his attention towards me.

"No she didn't." Stiles narrowed his eyes at me.

"What? Really why?"

"And let him know how important that place is to the Greeks?" I scoffed. "Knowing Stiles, he'll try and meet the gods or something. Or better yet, meet Dad. Yeah... I think not."

"You make it sound like I would do something to embarrass you." Stiles smirked.

"Oh no, I'm more scared for you. The gods don't know the words patience and sarcasm. Ask Percy." I jabbed a thumb towards my brother.

"True. Only a handful can deal with me." Percy stated. He glanced at the clock on the wall and a grinned. "Annabeth should be here in a few seconds."

"Where are you going?" I started to make my way towards the couch. I heard the door unlock.

"Percy owes me a date to look at the architecture around Manhattan." Annabeth entered the apartment.
