Work Text:

Percy stood up suddenly from his bed, intending to walk out into the kitchen to grab himself a snack, but the quick change in position caused him to experience a deep vertigo and he visibly wobbled as the room spun around him, stumbling slightly.

Annabeth was at his side quickly, keeping him steady as he struggled to stand. He did this to himself fairly often, so she wasn't too concerned.

"Is the room spinning or is it just me?" he asked with a small, embarrassed chuckle. He knew to be more careful, it just slipped his mind sometimes.

"Sit" Annabeth instructed softly, helping him sit back down as he regained his bearings.

Eventually, the spinning stopped, and Annabeth stayed with him the whole time.

"What were you trying to do?" she asked him.

"I was just gonna get a snack"

"Okay, well get up slowly this time, you dummy"

"Yes, ma'am"
