        Stupid. Careless. Cocky And hardheaded. That is what Perseus is.

After I jumped into the river and made my way back onto my land he followed after me and now I'm trying to figure out a way to warm him up.

I'm cold.

There's no blood pumping in my veins. I have no body heat and I most definitely can not radiate it no matter how hard I try.

His teeth chatter loudly, his body shivering as I try to help him get off of his drenched shirt.

I managed to sneak him out of the woods safely and into an empty town that has seen better days.

And we made our way into a yellow unhinged house that was destroyed on the inside but the locks on all of the doors worked which was a good sign.

My eyes linger on his buff and lean chest but as soon as he goes to take off his pants I'm scrambling backward and spinning around so my back is facing him.

He says nothing, knowing how awkward this already probably is for me.

Abs.

Is all my mind seems to come up with?

He has them yes... were they nice to look at? Yes... but I? Am losing my head trying to make sense of it all.

Absss...

He continues to shiver as he crawls under come covers I managed to find in a closet in this damn house.

"Are you going to speak to me or are you going to continue to be mad at me?"

I turn my head to look at him and make direct eye contact.

I won't communicate with him right at this moment.

All that seems to want to come out of my mouth is, You're an idiot.

A hot idiot with smoking hot abs.

I try to shake my thoughts away but... He has nice Abs.

Not only abs...

A goddamn Six pack...

That should be against the law.

He quirks an eyebrow up at me as I continue to stare but say nothing.
