Stay Alive; a Pjo fanfiction

Chapter Twelve

~bruh you make up the time idk anymore leave me alone~

I groaned and leaned into Percy's arms. I squeezed my eyes shut as he chuckled lightly and wrapped his arms around me.
"What's wrong?"

"Everything." I mumbled against his chest. I looked up at him and stared at his eyes. For as much as I look at him on a normal basis, I never took a moment to appreciate how beauitful his eyes are. They were a bright shade of sea green with light splashes of coral blue. In the middle flicks of gold laced around his pupil. They were the most gorgeous thing to look at in the world.
"Annabeth?" His voice snapped me out of my gaze.
"Yeah?"
"You were staring?"

"Your eyes are pretty." I buried my face into his neck. He laughed softly and held me tighter. My mind went back to me and Piper's fight. I took a shaky breathe. Percy must of noticed because he pulled away and gave me a questioning look.
"Annabeth. Did something happen?"
I took another shaky breathe and stared at my hands in my lap. He gently grabbed my hands and rubbed my palms.
"I kind of had a fight with Piper."
"W-what happened?"

"I told her what I was thinking about the murders. I guess I shouldn't have done that." I went on to explain to him the whole situation and what she had said to me. My palms got sweaty mentioning how Piper thought it was him.
"I defended you by the way. I know you wouldn't do something like that." I looked up at him and he smiled gently.

"I know you wouldn't do anything either. I don't know about Piper though." I nodded. He stared down at our intertwined hands. He had a look of dread on his face. The silence made me worried.
"Percy?"
"Yeah?"
"Is something wrong."
He glanced up at me and frowned a little. "Its nothing."
"No you can tell me ok? It'll make you feel better to let it out."

He nodded and his expression went strained. "You know how I said my mom had died a couple years ago?" I squeezed his hand and nodded.
"Tomorrow would've been her 36th birthday." He frowned.
"Percy- I- I'm such an idiot. I'm here rambling about me and Pipers fight when you have much bigger problems than me." I started to feel guilty. I wrapped my arms around his neck. "I'm sorry."

He buried his face into my shoulder. "Its ok Annabeth. It's fine." Despite what he said I could tell he broke down and started to cry. I rubbed his back and whispered soft words into his ear. After a while he stopped and just stayed in that position. We stayed like that for a while before I realized how tired I was. He probably was too.

I pulled away and kissed his cheek. He was already almost asleep. I laid him down and wrapped my arm around his waist. I buried my face into his back and held him close.
"I love you Percy."
"I love you too, Beth." He said in a sleepy voice. A few minutes later he was fast asleep. I smiled before closing my eyes and falling asleep too.
