“Do you think the moon is jealous of how pretty you are?” Percy whispers sweetly as he slips his arms around Annabeth’s waist, placing a kiss to her cheek.
Annabeth slides her hands on top of Percy’s, amazed at how warmth always seems to radiate off of him, and leans back into his arms. Gently, she leans her head into his and smiles as she notes how the light of the moon makes her engagement ring gleam.
“Why are you so good to me?” she asks, her voice quiet.
She feels him shrug before he answers. “How else do you treat the love of your life?”
Annabeth pulls Percy’s arms tighter around her middle, finding comfort in the steadiness of his touch. “I never thought I’d have this.”
“Well you do,” Percy says with confidence. “For always.”
Annabeth laughs as she turns around to face Percy, linking her hands around his neck as he links his at the small of her back.
“For always, huh?”
He nods, a childlike grin lighting up his face. “Yup. And there’s nothing you can do about it. Now answer the question.”
“What question?” she asks, playing dumb.
Percy doesn't waver. “Do you think the moon is jealous of how pretty you are?”
She looks at him, from the deep green of his eyes to the solid lines of his jaw and the perfect curve of his smile until she can’t help but kiss him on his perfectly soft lips. Pulling away, she feels her heart skip a beat at the way Percy’s long eyelashes flutter as he opens his eyes.
“Hmm,” she says pensively. “I guess to answer that I have to ask you a question of my own.”
“What’s that?” he says with a curious squint.
“Do you think the sun is jealous of how my world completely revolves around you?”
She can practically hear the air leave Percy’s lungs as he watches her with awe and reverence. Her gravitational force soon proves to be too strong, and there under the light of the full moon they transform into the sea and shore, crashing into each other with abandon.
