percy knew you were awake. he didn’t know how, but he just knew it without meeting your eyes. last night was your first time staying at cabin three, first time sleeping together. your relationship was fairly new, three months, and you haven’t yet shared a bed together until last night, which means this is your first morning together

percy loved being beside you in silence, just taking in your presence however the awkwardness of the situation was bothering him

“I was thinking we could go by the lake later after breakfast. you could bring your book, read to me for a bit, then we could eat lunch at my table- or yours if you want, I don’t mind. what do you think about after lunch? we need more hobbies. any ideas?”

he rambles

he gives you a moment to answer but when you don’t he starts panicking thinking he did something wrong, or maybe you’re not even awake? did he do something he isn’t aware of? did he say something? his mind races and his heart pounds.

“y/n/n?”

his voice is laced with worry and he taps your shoulder to get your attention
you snap out of your trance and turn over to face him

“percy?”

he had never been so happy to hear your voice in his life

“did I do something?”

you sit up

“what are you talking about?”

“I don’t- you didn’t answer me, I was talking”

“oh”

you frown realizing what happened

“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to ignore you. when I wake up I just take a while to process that I’m awake, almost like a trance or something, I really didn’t purposely ignore you”

“you go into a post-sleep trance?”

“are you mad?”

“of course not. I was just worried”

he sighs and pulls you back down by your waist to lay with him again. he nuzzles his face in your shoulder and placed a kiss there. perhaps you should sleep in cabin three more often. ⭑.ᐟ
