"Soup and cards"

Percy's P.O.V

I woke up screaming, with tears streaming down my face. As I struggled to get some oxygen in, my door burst open. I couldn't get the images out of my head, and I couldn't focus on anything. The humid air that stung my lungs. The decomposing monsters. The bloodlust in their eyes. A hand on my shoulder finally forced me to look up. It was Piper, still in her PJs. Her hair was a mess and she only had one shoe on. But none of that mattered to me.

"You're safe. You're in camp halfblood. I'm here." Piper repeated the three sentences over and over again until it was all that I could think off.

I tried to settle my breathing before replying. "T-thanks. I needed that." I looked into her eyes. "I needed you."

Piper chuckled as she relaxed her tense muscles. "I guess it's a good thing that I need you too."

"How much time do you think we have until someone comes to check on us? I bet I woke everyone up with my screams..."

Piper stood up and locked the door. "That should hold them."

"Coach Hedge isn't going to be pleased..." I advised her.

Piper snorted. "Coach Hedge will be happy that he gets to look tuff and angry. He'll be secretly pleased and you know it."

"Yeah, I guess you're right."

"I'm always right." Piper smiled as she sat back down on my bed. The rooms in the Argo 2 that Leo had created for us were a little cramped, but it felt more cozy than anything. I used to complain about the lack of space, but now I was grateful. It forced Piper to sit close to me, which I needed after being so shaken by the nightmares.

"And you never let me forget it." I smiled weakly as I leaned my head back against the cabin wall. I let out a long breath of air as I tried to relax my muscles like Piper had.

Piper slid over closer to me so that she was sitting next to me. "How're you doing?"

"It's taking a bit longer to calm myself down, but I'll be fine."

Piper placed her hand over my forehead before quickly pulling it off. "Jeez, you're burning up! Maybe you're sick and that's why it's taking longer than usual?"

I had been feeling a little off for a few days. "Yeah... That could be it."

"Hey, I thought we just agreed that I'm always right!" Piper teased before sliding off the bed.

I called out. "Where are you going?"

"Going to make you some soup. I'll see if Leo packed some lozenges while I'm up." She walked towards the door before turning back around. "Don't even think about getting up. Just lay back down and relax. I'll be back before you know it."

I smiled at her as she turned to leave. After her figure had disappeared from view, I slumped back into my pillows and let out a small cough. My scratchy throat made breathing painful and I wallowed in my misery for a few minutes.

At the sight of my beautiful girlfriend carrying a bowl of soup, lozenges and a pack of cards, I decided that being sick might not be so bad...
