“ow! fuck.”

you rub your forehead with your palm on instinct. from behind you, with a worried expression, percy takes your other hand and holds it.

“what happened?”

“I forgot how to open a door and it hit me in the head!”

he holds back a life.

how caring he is.

“well are you okay?”

you nod and remove your hand from your head. “it hurts a lot.”

“no shit. you’re bleeding.”

“really?!”

instead of your hand reaching up this time, percy’s does as he wipes the trickling blood from your forehead. you use your free hand to hold up the towel around your damp frame.

“let me clean this off for you.”
