Drown with me || Percabeth AU

Chapter 14

I remember someone yelling my name. Telling me to wake up. Wake up, I didn't want to wake up. I felt so heavy. my head was like a bowling ball and I was sinking deep.

I woke up. I was in my bed. I was dry and warm but still in my swimming togs. slowly I remembered what happened. I nearly drowned.

The early morning sunlight filtered through my curtains, The gentle red coals crackled in my fire. The smell of hot chocolate was strong. I could hear breathing I let my eyes wander. asleep in my armchair was a very tried looking Percy Jackson. My heart was one of the smothering red coals. I pulled the cover off myself. I saw a bandage wrapped around my upper thigh. I have some cuts on feet and one on my wrist, I must have gotten pretty banged up from almost drowning.

I limped over to the kitchen and drank some water. For someone who just nearly drowned, I was really thirsty. I hungrily drank and then I made myself a sandwich. I hobbled over to Percy, I was thinking of waking him but he looked so tired, he needed this sleep. His hair was messy and unbrushed, looked very peaceful, I focused on his lips for a moment before noticing he was drooling.

I laughed lightly to myself and then went back to bed. sleep was very nice.

"Annabeth, Annabeth, wake up" I felt someone lightly touching my shoulder, shaking me. I looked up to see Percy's sea-green eyes looming down at me. I wanted to say something sweet like 'oh thanks for saving me my hero' but the first thing out of my mouth was.

"you drool in your sleep."

Percy smiled at me and sat on the corner of my bed. "oh thank the gods I thought you were dead".

"what happened?" Percy glanced over at me with a worried look.

"you got wiped out by a wave and then held under. I swam out and panic because I couldn't find you. Your Ankle strap broke. I dove under and got you back. you were covered in cuts and scratched but you coughed all the water up. I brought you back and dried you off. I'm really sorry I fell asleep, I meant to stay awake but-"

I lunched forward and gave Percy a hug. He smelled like clean towels and of the ocean. his strong arms encased me. I loved how this felt. The way how he muscles moved and his hair brushing against my ear. we hugged for a long time.

I stopped hugging him and looked him in the eyes.

"Thank you, Percy, thanks for saving me". I looked into his eyes but his eyes were focussed on..on my lips. My stomach was full of fluttering again.

Percy slowly began to lean in. 'is he going to kiss me'! I was panicking but he just hugged me again.

why did I feel disappointed he didn't kiss me.

"I'm not going to leave you here till I know you are fully better" Percy commanded.

"that's not necessary Percy I will be fine."

"you have oyster cults, I'm guessing you don't know how to treat those, I'm staying till you are better Annabeth"

" can't you just tell me how to treat oyster cuts."

"it's not that simple, you can't really clean them out yourself unless you feel noo pain"

I inwardly resigned, also it felt kinda nice to be fought over by someone who cared so much.

I'm going to run a bath Annabeth, we can sort you cut out after that going to make blue pancakes."

"why blue, how will that help"

"ill tell you after we get your cuts cleaned."
