(A/N alright guys I'm back thank you for understanding and everything and thank you especially to those of you who left such wonderful messages on my last update they helped so much. In other news into the story, Percabeth is official in this one)

"She needs more ambrosia!" I called, Annabeth lay before me in the infirmary, her face was pale, with prominent dark circles under her eyes, she had been out on her hourly patrol when she was attacked by a manticore. Isaac and I had stumbled upon her, unconscious with a huge cut on her forehead, she hasn't woken up since.

"Malcolm, if I give her anymore, she'll burst into flames okay," Will Solace rested a hand on my shoulder, he'd be with me taking care of her all day.

"I know, I know, it's just.... What if she doesn't....." I couldn't finish the sentence, I buried my head in my hands, sure she was the head counsellor but I was still her older brother and I felt responsible for her and now this had happened, gods we couldn't lose her.

"Hey Malcolm," a new voice interrupted my thoughts, I didn't have to look up, I knew it was Percy, he'd been in and out all day, I knew that he didn't want to leave but somebody had help run the camp while Annabeth was out and I mean let's face it, Mr.D wasn't about to get up and step in anytime soon. Percy looked just about as bad as his girlfriend. His hair was messier than usual, his green eyes dull, he looked tired and worn out.

"Alright, well I'm gonna leave now, you guys can stay as long as you want, I know it's not exactly in the rules but I think I can make an exception," Will awkwardly stated before exiting. Percy and I didn't say anything, we just sat there staring at her. Every once in a while Percy would brush a stray strand of hair out of her face but other than that there was nothing.

________TIME LAPSE________
"Dude it's late, you can leave already," I was half asleep when Percy's voice jolted me out of my dream.

"W-What?" I muttered still a little disorientated.

"Go to your cabin, sleep," he instructed.

"What about you?"

"I'll be fine, now go," I shrugged, pushed myself out of my chair and stumbled through the darkness until I reached the familiar wooden door of Cabin 6.

____ANOTHER TIME LAPSE_____
I couldn't have been asleep for long, as when I woke up it was still pitch black out, my eyelids would barely open yet my mind was racing, I couldn't fall asleep so I decided that my time would be better spent with Annabeth.
As I walked closer to the infirmary doors I could hear voices, now I'm not usually one to eavesdrop but this one I couldn't help.

"Please Annabetb, you have to stay with me," Percy voice pleaded, he sounded close to tears, maybe he already was. "Come on, I can't do this without you, I just can't!"
I crept forwards a bit more and slowly inched the door open, Percy was holding her hand, a few tears ran down his cheeks.

"I can't loose you okay," he sobbed, "you wanna know why? It's because I love you okay," that part shocked me, I mean there I was watching a camper I knew quite well and respected confess his love for my dying sister, soap opera much? When I tuned back in I heard him say,

"I love you, you get it, but not just you, I love every little thing about you, I love your hair and how it's so fun to play with, I love your eyes, this beautiful stormy grey, I love your nose, I love your lips, I even love those little freckles you have that come out during the summer. I love that you're super smart, I love that you've taken the time to actually bother to tutor me, I love that you're brave and tough and strong, I love the way you roll your eyes at me when I say something stupid, I love the way you kiss me whenever that happens too. Gods I love your kisses, you're really good at that you know, kissing," he laughed a little through his tears.
"You're so perfect you know, you're smart, you're beautiful, you're brave, you're strong, you're an amazing strategist, and I trust you more than anybody I've ever known. Annabeth I love you and I can't afford to lose you so, please, please stay.... Please." He stared down at her face then slowly bent over and kissed her, short but sweet, the kiss I knew she liked the most.

"P-Percy?" A whisper sounded.

"Annabeth?!" Percy practically leapt 10 feet in the air and I'll admit I jumped a little too.

"OH MY GODS ANNABETH YOU'RE... YOU'RE ALIVE, OH THANK THE GODS I THOUGHT YOU WERE GONNA-"

"Not so loud Seaweed Brain, I have a major headache right now,"

"Sorry," he lowered his voice to a whisper. They didn't move for 10 seconds and then he crashed his lips onto hers and kissed her passionately. He finally pulled back and they just remained there in their hugging position until I heard Annabeth say.

"Hey Percy?"

"Yeah?"

"I love you too,"

That's when I decided to leave, I was going to give them their time, I could visit in the morning besides I knew love when I saw it and they were practically the definition of it.
