(Y/N) shivered, her lips quivering as her teeth slightly chattered. Despite being buried within the fluffy blankets and silk sheets, her skin felt cold as ice. Her fingernails traced the sides of her arms as she rubbed her skin, attempting to feel warmer.
(Y/N) gasped, her eyes widening as she could feel the rumbling of thunder. She immediately pulled the covers over her head as she hid underneath the blankets like a scared little kid.
She seemed a bit panicked, scared as to what was going to happen next. She gasped as the lightning lit the room once more as if getting ready to make the loudest strike of thunder ever before.
She squeezed her eyes shut as she backed against the bedboard and cradled herself. Placing her head between her knees, she shivered as the thunder stroke again. Then there was a moment of silence, and she didn't know what to expect next.
BANG
It stroked again, she shrieked as she heard Percy turn around in bed, as he furrowed a brow in curiosity.
"What's wrong?" He asked, his soft and concerned voice made her feel a little better.
"S-sorry. I-i hate thunder..." She admitted, closing her eyes.
She felt embarrassed, pathetic even. There was a long pause as she could hear the rain pitter-patter against the roof and windows.
The lighting lit again and she could see the shadow against the wall.
"Hey..." Her lips opened slightly as she looked at Percy, a small smile formed across his lips as he patted the spot next to him.
"It'll be okay. It's just a little thunder." He encouraged.
(Y/N) nodded slightly, hesitantly crawling closer to him. A small gasp escaped his lips as he felt her skin.
"(Y/N), you're freezing." He spoke to his spouse, as he lifted the covers over the two. He could hear her teeth slightly chatter as he immediately wrapped his arms around her, spooning her.
A small blush crept across (Y/N)'s cheeks as he felt so warm. And she felt so cold. She turned around and pulled him closer, placing her hands on his chest as he could feel her breath across his skin.
Percy kept his body pressed against hers, knowing she needed the warmth. He somehow felt sympathetic towards her. When he was about eight, before his grandmother died, she would always hold him during thunderstorms.
She would always calm him down, and he felt safe with her. He wanted (Y/N) to feel safe with him. And it was at that moment that he decided to let her in, as she began to feel warmer, her toes curling as small whimpers escaped her lips.
A small smile curved on his lips; she was cute.
"Shh, It's okay (Y/N) ..." He whispered, trying to soothe her as her grip on him tightened. "Your safe." He encouraged.
(Y/N) relaxed as she looked up from his chest.
Her eyes looked into his and she felt she was lost in an ocean of sea green color. His eyes were so beautiful, so serene. She could feel the heat rise to her cheeks and throughout her body.
"P-Percy..."
"It's okay (Y/N) ... You're alright." He smiled at her before he cuddled her.
Placing a leg in between hers as she held onto him, her fingers running down his back as they led to the nape of his neck, playing with the soft black locks of his hair.
And for a brief moment, (Y/N) felt happy. She felt like they were a real couple, maybe there was hope in this marriage after all. A loveless marriage didn't sound too appealing to her after all.
She was lost in his warmth, lost in his serenity. She felt completely and utterly safe with him. Her eyes fluttered closed as she relaxed, a small smile tugging on her lips before she fell asleep.
***
Percy's eyes slowly opened as he felt the warm sun gleam across his back. Why did he feel so... warm? He couldn't explain the feeling, that is... until he realized the small petite body pressed against him.
He smiled longingly at his wife, as he felt her smile against his skin. She was warm unlike the night before, and he could feel his heart race.
The couple had completely abandoned the blankets and sheets. As they were subsided along the lining of the bed. He chuckled a little to himself, pulling her closer as he snuggled with her, the scent of her blueberry shampoo and strawberry lotion sending his nose to utter bliss.
Their legs were intertwined, her hands pressed against his chest as his chin was placed on top of her head. It wasn't until then he realized she had also ditched her pajama pants and fled free in her laced vanilla bean innerwear.
Her skin felt extraordinary against his, he wished they could stay like this forever, buried in each other's arms. The blush painted his skin as he realized that he had begun to covet her.
He could suddenly feel her long eyelashes flutter against his skin. His cheeks bloomed with rosy red as she looked up at him, her smooth pink lips were opened, exposing her front white teeth.
Her freckles aligned the sides of her flushed cheeks as her dark long eyelashes outlined her (eye color) eyes. The sun highlighted the side of her jaw as her (hair color) hair framed her face perfectly.
Percy smiled, "I'm going to make you breakfast." He decided.
Getting up from bed, he ruffled his hair before yawning and stretching his arms. A blush coated her cheeks as he stretched, her eyes glossing over his god-like body.
She didn't even care when she realized that she had taken off her pajama and that was tossed carelessly on the floor. She suddenly shrieked as she felt Percy's warm hands cup beneath her thighs and under her back.
Picking her up with ease, she was as light as a feather. He carried her downstairs and to the living room with a view of the kitchen. He set her on the sofa and went back to the counter, cracking his knuckles.
