ohoho :3c

I may come back to this later and get a little more, ahem, involved, but for now…

–

It takes both of them some time to calm down after the runaway prank war, especially Percy, who’s not quite as ready to forgive Tary and forget as Vex is. But there’s also not much point in dwelling on unpleasantries, especially once they repair to their new room and Vex declares, “After all that…”

She pushes open a door inside their suite to reveal a small bathroom, one that’s mostly filled with a respectably sized tub. Vex looks over her shoulder at Percy.

“I think we both ought to freshen ourselves up, don’t you?” she finishes.

Percy pauses for a second, looking down at himself. He’d taken care not to step in anything…well, untoward…that the dogs had left behind, but after all the running about trying to solve the issue, and whatever might have gotten kicked up along the way, and who knows what else, there’s really only one reasonable reply. “You present a valid point.”

Vex sidles up while he tugs with distaste at his rumpled clothing. “Darling, that’s not the only one I was making.”

“Hmm?”

He looks up again to discover that Vex, standing very close now, is wearing a distinct smirk. Suddenly the urge to see her wearing nothing but is hard to resist. “We could share the bath,” she says archly. “Again.”

“Ah. That’s…yes, that’s a better point.”

“I thought so. I mean, this is supposed to be our getaway together. Seems appropriate.”

He actually blushes at that, at the implications they’ve been trying not to make in front of the others. Here, though, out of earshot… “That it most definitely is.”

She smiles, more softly this time. “Is that also why you asked for our replacement room to be a bit more private?”

“Well, for one thing, I wanted to be well away from the nonsense that just happened…but yes, in fact, it was.”

Vex, going up on tiptoes, almost brushes his lips with hers when she says, “Such a smart man I’ve married.”

Percy chuckles, feeling Vex’s fingers slide in alongside his to unfasten a button. “I did lock the door,” he tells her, trying to continue to be helpful. “So hopefully we won’t get any interruptions this time.”

“Oh, everyone has been well and thoroughly informed that we are not to be disturbed again tonight.”

“Have they now.”

“Oh, yes,” she says lightly, as she pushes his shirt off his shoulders. It lands in a puddle behind him, while her fingertips slide over and around his bare shoulders to begin drawing him closer. “I think we deserve the peace and quiet.”

“Peace, maybe.” Newly inspired, he leans in and murmurs in one ear, “I’m a little less interested in being quiet.”

Vex’s eyes brighten, and she gives him a very we’ll see about that sort of smirk as she tugs him into the room.

And he does try during the activities that follow not to add water damage to the list of things on their bill, but if they both get a little overenthusiastic, well…

as the tide slips through my fingers [pike/percy, ensemble]

It’s easy to find little moments. Life’s made up of the little things, really. That’s why they matter so much.

Percy’s good with little things too, even when he’s all tangled up in the big ones. Those clever fingers, always busy with gears, with tools, with his sketches and ideas. She only gets little pieces of them, of him, but that’s okay. It’s the little things.

(He falls in love in little ways too, a slow, carefully journey, and she wouldn’t notice it if she weren’t so good at seeing the little things.

That doesn’t make it hurt any less.)

a series of honest, bright, healing, hopeful, blisteringly irreverent conversations and moments between Pike and Percy chronicling their friendship, and their relationships, and the slow, quiet ache of falling in love with someone who’s all wrong for you. 

lowkey feel like this is the sort of thing where the answer is “those rare times they interact” but

“I feel confused all the time… I think that’s just what life is.”
