Percy pov)) Spending time in camp half-blood had slowly soothed his nerves. Even almost a year after the battle with Gaia and her ugly kids, he had been on edge. Not even the sound of the waves wouldn't help him sleep. It was night now, another night he couldn't sleep. He decided to walk to the shore not caring about curfew. Annabeth Pov)) Every night Annabeth was having dreams of spiders, spiders crawling into the Athena cabin, spiders crawling towards her. She woke with a gasp and sighed. She wasn't scared anymore, not really. But it didn't do good for her sleep. People were noticing she was off. An Apollo kid almost beat her! She heard the ocean waves crashing and decided to take a walk on the beach. Percy pov)) Percy sat down next to the water, letting it lap near his feet. Being here next to the ocean, made him feel slightly at peace. He heard a noise and reached in his pocket for riptide. What if it was a monster? He went to grab it and... it was gone? Cursing himself, he remembered leaving it on the night stand. He stood up ready to fight hand to hand, with the help of the water. Annabeth pov)) Annabeth turned around and realized she wasn't alone. In the dim moonlight she could make out Percy's silhouette. He was in a fighting stance. She went to talk to him, but laughter bubbled on her lips. She let a giggle. He thought she was a monster. She soon doubled over in laughter. She wasn't sure if it was because he thought she was a monster or that fact that he would try to fight hand to hand. "Percy it's me!" she said barely catching her breath. Percy pov)) Percy felt dumber than sand. It was just Annabeth. "Oh, sorry" he muttered. Wordlessly they both sat down. Annabeth leaned her head on Percy's shoulder. "Bad dreams?" Percy asked gently. Annabeth nodded. "Ok this may be a bad time, but uhhhhhh" Percy started then dropped off. Annabeth tilted her head inquisitively. "What do you want seaweed brain?". "Will you marry me?" ~End For now
