A/N: Hey guys, sorry it's been so long.
I've been insanely busy, between school (despite having finished my exams) and not being able to come up with a new one shot idea, I haven't posted in a while.
But I've got one for you now, enjoy! :)

Annabeth's POV~

    "Annabeth?" Percy yawned sleepily, scratching his head as he entered the living room.

She turned, her smile gentle and eyes soft. "Yes, Percy?"

He pouted and came closer to the couch where Annabeth was sat, busily typing away on her laptop. "I couldn't sleep."

"Aww." Annabeth looked up concerned, her work momentarily forgotten. "What's wrong Seaweed Brain?"

"You didn't come to bed," he mumbled sleepily and joined her on the sofa.

Annabeth smiled patiently as she sat back, her laptop hummed in the background in front of them. "I promise I'll come soon okay? Just five more minutes."

Percy made a noise that sounded somewhere between a whine and reluctant agreement.

She shook her head in disapproval, but couldn't hide her grin. Sometimes, she swore the only difference between Percy and a puppy was that her boyfriend could breathe underwater.

Annabeth shivered when his bare chest touched her skin, as he rested his head on her shoulder. He stared at the screen. "What are you doing anyway?"

She sighed, "Athena's got me designing another statue for Ares, apparently the last one didn't have enough guns."

"What a surprise," Percy rolled his eyes. "I can't believe we save the world a second time, and you still have to do this."

Annabeth scrunched her eyebrows, "what do you mean? I like doing this."

"Yeah..." He trailed off, "but wouldn't you like a break?"

She frowned again. "This isn't work to me."

"But I mean," he continued, "aren't you busy enough? I mean we just started school again and now-"

"I don't know Percy." Annabeth groaned, "can you just keep quiet and let me finish this?" 

Percy seemed a bit taken aback by her tone. "Sorry."

She turned to look at him, feeling bad. "No, I'm sorry. I'm just tired."

"I know you are, it's alright." He paused, and then smiled. "Actually if I were you, I would have gone crazy by now having to design Ares' statue."

She couldn't help but giggle as Percy got up. He kissed her on the cheek gently. His lips were warm and soft.

And Annabeth was dying to just curl up under the covers, nice and warm with her Seaweed Brain.

It was not to be unfortunately.

Not long after, the air in front of the couch shimmered and Annabeth looked up from her laptop, to find herself face to face with Piper.

"Piper?" Annabeth raised her eyebrows in alarm, usually they wouldn't Iris Message past midnight.

"Hey girl!" Piper forced a smile, "listen, we need your help."
