"you're going to suffocate me, get off." you shove percy to the side, off your frame from where he previously lays.

in response to your push, he smirks and drapes an arm back over your waist, tugging you close to him. you don't fight it now. you sigh and let your arms fall over his shoulders

"you're a piece of work."

"I know, sweet girl, you tell me that a lot." his pointer traces your spine, warming your skin in its path.

his digit trails from your tailbone, up your back, over your shoulder and down your arm. light trail, barely even touching you.

percy takes your arm from around him, taking your hand into his own and scanning his green eyes over it before his lips fall upon your palm.

"what're you doing?" your voice holds a hint of sarcasm.

percy murmurs, "and you say that I'm sassy..."

"what was that?"

you feel his smile against your wrist as he places pecks to it. "nothin', sweet girl, just sayin' how much I love ya."

"mhmm.." you nod skeptically.

"m serious." his lips reach your fingers, beginning. from the pad of your thumb, kissing that gently, before moving to the next finger "I do love you."

"I know." your grin is heard in your words. "I love you too."

his mouth reaches your ring finger. beginning with the pad of it, and down to the bottom, pecking it twice this time. "marry me."
