PJO One-Shots (Fluff)

Sleep Shopping (Percabeth)

It was supposed to be a simple trip to the grocery store... Annabeth told herself. But of course, it couldn't be that simple, not with Percy Jackson being her boyfriend. They had been hanging out at his parent's house until his mom asked them to get a couple things for the baby. Annabeth drove them there because she didn't trust Percy to drive in the state he was in. Estelle, his baby sister, was prone to crying in the middle of the night and that affected Percy greatly. He also refused to ever complain to his mother because he knew that this also affected her, he would even get up to comfort Estelle if Sally or Paul was too exhausted to get up. He was burning the candle at both ends and it was beginning to show. When they got to the store, she almost asked if he wanted to stay in the car and maybe take a quick nap, but she knew he wouldn't accept the offer. After walking into the store, she handed him a small list of easy to get items. "Get these things and meet me in 10 minutes at the checkout area." he nodded and shuffled off, Annabeth watched him with concern. The only reason she even considered splitting up was so they could get back faster. She made a mental note to find a way for Percy to get more sleep, if he kept up like this he was going to drop from exhaustion. It didn't take her to long to get the few items on her list : a couple things of baby food, diapers, and baby wipes. Annabeth waited an extra five minutes at the checkout area before allowing herself to worry. Where is he ? She looked in the places where he would have to have been to get the supplies on the list but didn't find him there. Annabeth only found him when the intercom came on. "Will an Annabeth Chase please come to the front desk ? We have your...uh...boyfriend." She bolted to the manager's office only to see Percy sitting on a bench with an ice pack on his head. A man in a store uniform was standing over him. "What happened ?" Percy looked up to see her, his face was bright red. "I...uh...kinda..." he began, but the manager cut him off. "He passed out and hit his head on one of the shelves. When he came to, he gave us your name and we called you." "Thank you" she moved to Percy's side "Are you okay ?" Percy gave her a little smile "Yeah, just a bump on the head that's all." He stood up "Can we leave now" "Yes." both the manager and Annabeth said at the same time. She grabbed Percy's hand and guided him out of the store, quickly placing him in the car before heading back to pay for the things that she had picked out. As expected, he was passed out in the passenger seat. She drove him home, only waking him up when they got to the apartment.

***TIME SKIP***

"Thank you for getting me out of there." Percy said with his arm wrapped around her, both of them sitting on the couch watching T.V. "Your welcome, seaweed brain." Annabeth would later give him a potion that one of the children of Hecate had made, it supposedly would help him sleep. Percy would thank her but would never have to use it, for he discovered coffee.
