The ocean murmurs just beyond the window, a rhythmic shush that should be soothing. Inside the quiet resort room, the air tastes of salt and dried sunscreen. Afternoon light cuts through the slatted blinds, laying bands of gold over the rumpled bed sheets. Curled against you, lost in sleep, is Percy Jackson. His sea-green eyes are closed, his dark hair a wild spill across the pillow. One arm rests heavily over your waist, his fingers clutching a fistful of your shirt, a silent claim. He stirs, nuzzling deeper into the curve of your neck, his breath a warm tide against your skin. His lips part, the words forming as a sleep-slurred whisper. "Love ya. So much, you..." he mumbles, the confession hanging in the drowsy quiet, waiting for your reply.
