Love

Percy wished he could he could freeze this moment forever. He and Annabeth were sitting under a tree in Central Park. He was resting his head in her lap while she read her book. Percy's eyes were closed, taking in the peacefulness for all it was worth.

He smiled to himself as Annabeth absentmindedly stroked his hair, twirling it between her fingers as she read her book.

Their time together was becoming increasingly crunched. They had only been dating for a little over two months and even though they both lived in New York, between school and homework, there was little time that they could spend with one another.

This beautiful Saturday afternoon had been one of the few that they were both available. And Percy thought that even though they weren't going to a museum or out to a fancy dinner, that this was perfect. This moment was a good definition of their relationship, simple. Just being together was enough to satisfy them.

They didn't need anything big or fancy to please them. As demigods, they had learned long ago to not take the small things for granted. They had learned to live life as if every moment was your life. Because in their world, it very well could. And Annabeth and Percy knew this better than probably anyone else. They were perfectly content as they were.

Percy sighed as he opened his eyes and gazed up at his beautiful girlfriend. She was completely concentrated on her book biting her lip slightly as she read however her fingers continued to run through Percy's hair.

Percy lifted his hand and tucked a loose curl behind Annabeth's ear. She smiled at his touch and leaned into his hand as it lingered on her face. Her gray eyes left her book as they met his swirling green orbs. Slowly her hand moved from his hair to come a stroke his cheek.

Percy moved his head slightly and lightly kissed her hand. He sat up and pulled her lips to his. It was a sweet and gentle kiss. He pulled away which Annabeth thought was much too early. The grin that she loved so much spread across his face, making her heart melt.

If this wasn't love, he didn't know what was.
