"percy."

"hmm?"

"what are you doing?"

"I," percy begins, reaching over to his bedside table and bringing his shark lego to his lap. "have to finish building my shark."

not even ten minutes ago he was talking you through your orgasm and now he's constructing his lego.

"seriously?"

"oh." percy smiles and looks over at you, small bag of legos in hand outstretched for you to take. "here. you can help."

you roll your eyes with a similar expression, contagious on percy's end. "I hope you know that you're ridiculous."

you open the bag and begin to construct the corals that go along with the set.

"I do. I also enjoy building legos with my betrothed."

"I have no comment to that."

you laugh silently and hand the two corals to percy who works to build the left fin.

you take the empty packaging and toss it onto your own nightstand to deal with whenever you arise from the bed. which, quite frankly, probably will not be until midday tomorrow.

with percy working intently with his legos, you curl back into his side like you had been before he moved; arms looped around his bicep, legs entwined.

you rest your cheek against his shoulder, watching his hands as they handle the small plastic pieces. the same fingers he'd had running over your bare skin only moments ago.
