I won’t kiss you. It might get to be a habit and I can’t get rid of habits.

F. Scott Fitzgerald, Flappers and Philosophers (via wordsnquotes)

There’s a small glimmer of luminescence, reflecting against the flickering lights of the building before her that catches her attention. And, pensive, the wheels within her mind rapidly turning, Riven moves across the field, her boots squeeking against the grass. She comes to a halt before one of the friable brick walls, her hues peering at the dull plate that seems to be plastered against it; Its surface is covered within thick layers of dust and dirt, small cobwebs clinging to it for dear life. Curiously, and with the distinct knowledge it’d possibly contain their location or in the least the name of the building, she reaches for it, crouching, swiping away any of the obstructive material. What clears into view are the faded letters of the founder. The very founder of their school. “It looks to be the old campus of London Royal.” Riven mutters thoughtfully, the dirt on her sleeve brushed off absentmindedly as she glances around.

The slight chill of the cooling air sent a shiver down Piper’s back but as her eyes hit what should have been the campus she had grown aware of the past few years, an unfamiliar sight entered her vision. The academy always went all out for all holidays but this was different and she couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable the closer she got. Catching sight of another body stood in front of the building, she carefully stepped towards them quietly observing as the dirt was brushed away from the placard. “The old campus?” Piper wondered aloud before bringing her arms across her chest as she looked back up at the seemingly derelict building of her school, “I’m sure we’ve just got some over-enthusiastic Halloween fanatic art students on our hands.”

artemis couldn’t help the smile that grew on his lips at the message that had just come through on his snapchat. he wouldn’t dare admit it aloud but he truly appreciated piper’s friendship- something he was even sure he could entirely call what it was between them. since running into each other in hawaii their conversations have been laden with flirty banter and playful quips. yet something inside artemis was setting off warning alarms; alarms that have been flashing red ever since the pair kissed. or rather kissed multiple times. the greek wouldn’t be opposed, however, of letting people know he’d done that, he would never add on that he liked it so much on the other hand. it was something that afterwards they didn’t speak much of and he was assured that it was a blessing from whatever higher being there was to not drive away this new constant that he had in his life. 

before he could even respond to the snapchat, he received a series of text messages all in quick succession of one another and upon looking were all from the girl who was currently floating around his mind. flight details were quickly sent to him and artemis made a move to start packing. he noted how they were going to end up cutting into the start of the new academic year but quickly found that some alone time with his princess was worth any time missed off classes plus it wasn’t as though he was normally a bad student, it wouldn’t be awful if he thought about something other than his responsibilities for once. convincing his sister of that was another task that he’d face when hit with it, which is why he shot the brunette a quick message back agreeing to the details before throwing himself into packing.

when the time arrived for piper to come to pick him up, artemis bit back the nerves that were plaguing him. trying to keep himself busy, he wandered into his sister’s room, gently nudging her awake before sending her his farewells whilst she was still half asleep. placing a kiss on her head before making sure she was tucked in and exiting the room once again but not without leaving his emergency card tucked underneath some of the books on her bookshelf. as he shut her door, he heard the sound of a knock at the door, his eyes flying to the clock in the wall before taking in a breath and walking to the door, hauling it open to reveal the brunette girl he’d grown to love being in the company of, smiling wide as he saw her, “good morning princess!” he greeted, having extended his arms out for hug.

to say that piper wasn’t excited about getting the opportunity to go on vacation after her summer had been very career focused would have been an understatement. however, she couldn’t quite tell anymore whether or not the excitement came from the chance to escape the confused british weather or if it was because of her travelling companion. when she first met artemis, she hadn’t considered him being a permanent fixture in her life. they had fun and got to know each other during spring break and she had assumed that was it and she was never to see him again unless it was in passing on campus but that wasn’t it at all. their friendship had only just begun. and just when she thought she had ruined their friendship by accepting the stupid dare, he never brought it up afterwards in fact, at that, he had initiated it more than once again. leaving piper confused as to where they stand because if she let him in, she could already smell the danger she would be in.

there was no ounce of regret in her mind when she sent over the flight details. her bags were more or less completely packed and she was just preoccupying herself with mundane tasks to pass the time. her apartment was cleaner than it has been ever before and she was sure not only her siblings but also her best friends were irritated with her from her fast flying consistent messages into their respective group chats. her sister had messaged her telling to stay safe to which her brother promptly concurred with and piper knew they weren’t talking exclusively about making sure she doesn’t get hurt or into trouble. promising the both of them to return unscathed, she finally put her phone down and wandered to get changed.

pulling up outside the apartment block she visited a few times since that fateful afternoon, she turned the car off and made for the entrance. it didn’t take long for her to enter the building and climb to reach his floor. piper wasn’t sure what she was expecting when she knocked on the door but the wide open arms were definitely a welcomed surprise. walking into them, not without rolling her eyes at the nickname he had coined for her first as she wrapped her arms around his waist. “morning goddess of war, are you ready to go because i’m so hyped,” the brunette greeted, a grin taking over her face as she began to let her excitement out. “The planes waiting for us though, grab your bags and to the bahamas we go!”

Matthew: Then you should know that I am in a longlasting relationship and would never even dare to keep my hands anywhere but to myself :)

Matthew: I'm gonna try my best not to imagine what happened with you two but since I wasn't there, my imagination is all I got. Know that it is your fault when my mind goes there ok

Matthew: omg pepper!! hi, you're back! I am so relieved!! Imagine I did this whole trip for nothing oof

Matthew: that might be true for YOU yeah

Piper: ahah, i'm sure you wouldn't dare touch the merchandise

Piper: let your imagination run wild! would hate to be the reason you tried to contain your creativity 😉

Piper: you could have considered it your daily exercise! wouldn't have been for nothing that way!

Piper: no no! it's true for you, by being in my presence - you know no, for simply knowing me, you must love yourself. if you 'loved yourself' before, you love yourself a whole lot more now that you've met me

without meaning to laugh, artemis did just that at the girl’s rambles grasping tighter onto her hand as he looked at her frazzled form, “princess,” he mused softly, trying to soothe her moving his hands back up where they were before perched on her shoulders. shifting closer, he let his lips hit her forehead once again, his hand gently trailing the curve of her jaw before his head moved away and his finger hit the tip of her nose before chuckling, “i know.” the words coming out as a simple whisper. of course, he did, he’d seen the dare on the gossip site and quite frankly didn’t think twice about it.

resting his forehead against her own, his hand came up to cradle her face between them, letting his lips hover above hers - exactly where he wanted them back. “that doesn’t mean i didn’t want to kiss you,” he answered, letting his lips tug up into a smirk, “or that you didn’t want to kiss me,” he teased, not letting her speak before he closed the distance between them once again as he pulled her into a deep kiss once again.

Piper couldn’t help her slight disgruntled response to his laugh until he called for her using that nickname, the one she’d never admit to having grown fond of. Her head rose to look at him, letting him trail his finger over her face before scrunching up her nose when he gave it a tap. His response had her baffled. If he knew why would he let her do it? The man’s words sent her mind in a loop, as she raised her brow as she tried to understand what he meant. When he placed his head against hers, she inhaled deeply waiting for him to continue. 

Piper couldn’t help the roll of her eyes at his words before her eyes narrowed as he continued, gasping as she felt his lips pressed against her own. Her hand rose to hold onto his forearms with the intention of pushing him away but a part of her was curious. Or so she was going to convince herself, curiosity drove her actions. Returning the kiss, her mind went into overdrive trying to justify what was happening as she fell into his hold. As her hand went to move up his arms, she paused and pulled herself away from him, “Don’t inflate your head more than it already is by assuming I wanted to actually kiss you.” She stated as she caught her breath.
