Prisoner of Ice and Stone

Chapter 4

Percy's POV:

The others had told me dozens of stories of what had happened while I was gone, but eventually everyone had to go. They had dropped everything and shadow traveled here when they heard that I was coming home, but they had busy lives. Nico was now a political leader for the state of Wisconsin, Hazel and Frank were both agents for the US government, Piper and Jason were both working full time jobs in Arizona, and Leo and Calypso (leo was apparently alive and had saved Calypso then married her) were traveling around the US Leo as a famous engineer and Calypso as a popular singer.  Soon it was just mom, Paul, and Annabeth. Paul had put the kids to bed, and I now knew that my sisters name was Lilly, and my brothers name was Daniel. After a long silence my mom and Paul made some excuse and left for the kitchen leaving Annabeth and I alone. I gazed at the ground and Annabeth looked out the window finally she sighed and spoke.

"Percy?"

I looked at her and she smiled her eyes tired.

"I know this is a lot to take in, and I know that you probably are losing your mind with some sort of strange worry just like you always do. But Percy I have to know, do you still love me even if I am ten years older then you?"

I was silent my mouth gaping then I laughed.

"Annabeth I'm the one who should be asking that didn't you find someone better then me while I was gone?"

She scowled at me.

"Stupid Seaweed Brain."

She muttered. Then her expression softened.

"Trust me Percy, there is no one else. I've never loved anyone but you, your dense, kinda stupid, and absolutely annoying, not to mention a Seaweed Brain, but you want to know something..."

I leaned forward and Annabeth wrapped her hand around mine.

"Your my Seaweed Brain, and I can't live without you, the last ten years have taught me that."

I laughed and we kissed it was kind weird at first, I mean she's so much older! But she didn't feel any different when I kissed her, and somehow I knew that she was still my Annabeth, the same one I'd met when I was twelve years old.

A/N:

Before you guys freak out at me, don't worry I will be fixing the age difference, yes I know of couples with ten year age gaps who are absolutely adorable, but Percabeth is a match so perfect I can't mess with it to much. So chill please don't murder me! Also I hope you guys are ready, because now that I've set up all this sweet stuff things are about to go DOWN! Also sorry for the short chapter, but in the overall story it made the most sense to post this as its own chapter so eh? Anyway tell me in the comments below what you think is going to happen next!
