"mhmmm what time is it?" your voice comes out muffled within the pillow as you roll over onto your tummy.

but percy rolls you back over onto your back and you whine. you reach out, eyes closed, until you at last feel your boyfriend beside you. you hit him with the utmost force you can muster in your current sleepy state. which isn't much but you try.

"time, please."

your hand slides off his chest as percy slides to the side to find the bedside clock. you leave your arm outstretched until you feel him lay back down and his cold skin is back beneath your fingertips.

"three-fourteen." he smiles and takes your arm into both of his hands, beginning from your fingers and peppering them in light kisses.

you whine a second time. "s too early, perce."

"I can't sleep." his mouth works its way up your wrist and beginning over the expanse your arm.

“'course you can't..." you inhale before sitting up alongside him, taking the blankets with you to bear the coldness over your bare skin.
