@privatevideo // con't from here
the simple act of being carried to bed is enough to make her breath hitch, and percy knows—though if she's being honest, she already knew—that she's done for. he's it for her. all she wants, and all she ever will want. it's not just physical, though she shamelessly stares at his bare chest when he takes off his shirt. it's everything. and maybe she's just young and dramatic, but... when fin calls her beautiful, it's not like how others have said it. when he says beautiful, it feels like he means something more, something beyond words. she doesn't know if she can agree, but she's not going to argue the point. not now. not when he's smiling at her like that. "you—" her cheeks burn, and she feels lightheaded with anticipation. all this gentleness. all this love. she thinks she'll explode from it. "i love you so much." she cranes her neck for a kiss, short and sweet, and breathlessly adds: "but i'm feeling a little overdressed here." she's still a little nervous about getting naked in front of him, but her old self-consciousness is tempered by his words and by his gaze; she wants him to see her. she wants to see him see her.
