Missed

She couldn't remember the last time she had gone so long without seeing him. But it had been three weeks now – while she had been visiting her family in Frisco.

She missed the feeling of his rough hand in hers, missed the bright iris of his eyes. She missed the simplicity of just having him there.

And then he was there, with that goofy smile. He was handsome in a way that made you know he wasn't aware of it. With ruffled hair and ripped jeans. He was just effortlessly Percy. It made her heart ache. And his arms wrapped around her, warm and strong. And she was home.

Zombies

'Kill it! No there, turn around! Quick shoot him!'

'Annabeth,' he muttered. 'As much as I love you, you're not particularly helping me here.'

'But he's right there! Oh give it here!'

She then proceeded to wrestle the controller from him and aggressively punch the buttons.

'Die zombie die!'

'Gods of Olympus Annabeth, you're violent.'

'Shut up Seaweed Brain.'

'Wait no there's one up there on the ledge!'

'Okay are you ready?' Percy called from the other room. Annabeth set down her book and sat up straight on the couch.

'I've been ready for the past half hour,' she muttered.

'What's that?' he called.

'I said; yes I'm ready honey!'

'Alright then, prepare for some awesome!'

Two seconds later, her husband and three year old son appeared in batman and robin outfits. Annabeth just managed to stifle her laugh in her fist as Percy glared at her. She instead chose to focus on Lucas.

'Wow sweetie! You look amazing!'

'I'm Batman!'

'I know honey.' She went over to him and swept him up in her arms. 'I almost didn't recognise you!'

The little boy grinned at her. 'Daddy's my sidekick!'

'Uh huh.'

'Oh shut up,' Percy mumbled from behind her.

She set Lucas down and he went running off down the hallway, flapping his cloak around behind him. Annabeth turned to face Percy.

'I LOVE the tights.'

'Shut up.'

She let out a peel of laughter. 'Why exactly are you the sidekick?'

'Because he wanted to be the superhero.' Percy shrugged and wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her against his body. 'Besides, I'm used to being your sidekick.'

'Uh huh.' She leant up to kiss him. 'You know I kind of like the outfit.'

'Yeah?' he raised an eyebrow at her tone.

'Totally hot.' She grinned. 'You'll always be my superhero.'

She pecked him on the lips again and twisted from his grasp to find out where Lucas had run off to.

Quiet

He sort of loved the quiet moments like this. No fuss, no drama or fighting or noise, just the quiet peace.

It wasn't that he didn't love it when they talked – and usually end up arguing over something stupid – they could talk for hours and hours about complete nonsense. And it was one of his favourite things in the world to make her laugh – she had a ridiculously loud laugh, not a girly giggle but a full-belly laugh which usually involved a snort or two, but the sound of it pulled at least a smile out of him in return.

But now as they lay sprawled out on the couch, soaking in the lazy afternoon sun, he felt completely content. He dozed off a little as her fingers played with his hair idly, like the gentle absent-minded stroking of a cat. It was soothing and calm and pleasant. And above all, completely ordinary.

He loved it.
