A/N: Have more percabeth! I figured I might just as well turn this into an unrelated two-shot or maybe even a series of one-shots (if anyone is interested or cares) because I have a ton of small drabbles and fics sitting on my computer. This was written for a prompt meme of tumblr, so hope it's decent! Happy readings!

Prompt: "Can I have a kiss?"


Annabeth awoke to the sound of the TV channel being changed and a weight settling on the foot of the couch. Blinking drowsily in the dim light that permeated the living room, she turned over from her place on the couch and yawned, waiting for her eyesight to focus. When it did, she was greeted with the sight of her fiancé looming over her. He gave her a soft smile and even in her semi-conscious state, Annabeth felt her heart beat faster and her toes curl in warmth. Percy reached out and brushed an errant strand of hair away from her face before bending down to kiss her forehead.

"A bed would be more comfortable you know," he said, smiling. "Go to sleep."

"'m comfortable here," she mumbled. "What are you doing up?"

"Couldn't sleep," Percy replied. He shifted so he was sitting with Annabeth's legs over his lap. Annabeth yawned again and turned her head towards the television. Some nature documentary about fish was playing and she watched it for a few minutes before she closed her eyes again. She must have fallen asleep because the next thing she knew, the end credits were rolling and Percy had scooped her up and carried her back to their room.

"Get some rest," He said, attempting to set her down. Annabeth only clung tighter to him and buried her face in the crook of his neck.

"No," she moaned. "Stay with me. I'm not tired."

"Yeah, but that yawn says otherwise."

"Don't care," Annabeth mumbled. "I'm not letting go."

Percy laughed and held her tighter, crawling in beside her. "You make it sound like a bad thing," he said, kissing her hair. "It's not."

Annabeth mumbled something inaudible and curled up against him, falling back asleep. Percy tried to, but he couldn't seem to, despite having Annabeth in his arms and despite being tired enough. He spent an hour trying to fall asleep, and when that didn't work, he turned on the TV in their room, letting some random show play on quietly and idly playing with Annabeth's curls.

That was how Annabeth woke up a couple of hours later. She was buried under a thick blanket, and curled up against Percy, who was staring blankly at the TV. He only looked away when he felt Annabeth stir beside him.

"Hey," Percy whispered, smiling. "Sleep well?" Annabeth nodded, shivering in the cold air and tugging him closer. Percy wrapped his arms around her and grinned.

"I never want to get out of bed," she muttered, nestling against her fiancé. "I could stay here forever; it's so comfortable."

"That's only because I'm your pillow," Percy teased.

"You're a very good pillow," Annabeth offered, ruffling his hair.

Percy stuck his tongue out.

"How're you feeling?" He asked.

"Better. I think my cold's mostly gone." She said, feeling vastly improved from the day before. She'd been a bit under the weather, but was happy to note her cold was mostly cured.

"Well that's good because you owe me two days worth of kisses," Percy replied. "So pay up."

Annabeth laughed. "Nice try, Seaweed Brain, but no. I said I was mostly better. That doesn't mean I can kiss you just yet."

Percy groaned. "That's not fair."

"It is if you don't want to get sick."

"Can't I have one kiss?" He pleaded.

"No." Annabeth replied resolutely.

"Annabeth!"

"Stop whining, Percy."

He pouted and Annabeth felt her resolve crumbling. She cursed under her breath.

"You've been spending way too much time with Piper," was all she said before kissing him.

Percy smirked, pulling her impossibly closer.

"Please," he said, once they pulled away. "I don't need any charmspeak to get you to kiss me."

"You will after this, because I'm not kissing you when you get sick."

"We'll see." Percy said, stealing another kiss…and then another.

(Sure enough, Percy did get sick a short while later. And true to her word, Annabeth didn't give him one kiss. But, Percy made sure to collect them all when he got better.)


Thanks for all the lovely reviews!
