"No." It comes out forcefully this time, but it's all he can say against her right now. He wasted all his words getting mad at the gods, the only thing left in him to do is to deny what she's saying.

Percy hands move from her shoulders to her waist, and when he moves so his back is against the wall again, he brings her with him, tugging her into his lap as he kisses her back a little harder, needier. Both arms wrap tightly around her, and even if he's shaking, it's pretty clear he's not about to let her go any time soon. "I'm not leaving you." And maybe that's part of the problem, but right now it's the only solution. "We just have to stay together, okay?"

Annabeth wants and needs to believe him, but she can't. He must know, deep down, but he's being so Percy over it. She opens her mouth to argue again, but she can't do that either. Her energy is gone and she's too tired to be stubborn anymore, too tired to argue. Letting it slide for now won't do any favors in the long run, but she can't; she's not agreeing with him, at least.

He shifts, pulling her towards him, and she doesn't fight against it; she pulls herself closer as he kisses her, and she returns it, just as needy, if not a little moreso.

"Okay," she replies, hoarsely and appreciatively as the word catches. As long as we're together. And she lets herself get caught up in the selfishness of it, because if she doesn't, she really will fall apart. "We will. Together."

It's their mantra, and as much as it's hurting them, they need it all the same. He has no intention of letting her go, but she has no intention of letting him.
