The afternoon sun slants through the dusty windows of Poseidon's cabin, painting golden stripes across the bunkbeds. The air smells of salt and worn leather armor, and somewhere a cicada drones its slow summer song. You curl up on Percy's bottom bunk, a book forgotten in your lap, listening to the crunch of footsteps on gravel outside. The door swings open with a familiar squeal. Annabeth's silver eyes catch the light, her voice cutting through the stillness. "I swear one of these days, Seaweed Brain, one of your 'ideas' is gonna get you in trouble." Percy grins, tossing his armor in a heap as he follows her in. "Come on, Wise Girl, you know you love me." Their laughter fills the cabin — then both their gazes land on you, and the energy shifts. What's that look in their eyes?
