Sunshine, Starlight | Aryan Simhadri

Part 68

"Darcy is alright" I let out a sigh of relief "she's out of surgery and everything is fine, she's still asleep and the doctors said she might not wake up today or tomorrow even but she is stable, she did it"

"That's great, thank you"

"Of course honey, we'll keep you updated" I put the phone down and looked at both Walker and Aryan with a smile

"She's fine, she is fine and she is stable" I clarified quickly, finally being able to breath again

I laid down on one side of the queen sized bed, Walker on the other, Aryans mother had offered us an extra mattress but we both didn't see why one of us should sleep on the floor

"I think this all still seems surreal" I say setting an alarm in my phone

"What ?" Walker yawns

"All of it, acting, singing, these events"

"You got like thrown into the whole thing immediately, I didn't go to so many things before Percy Jackson. Sure interviews and promo but I had a light start" I lay my phone down and look to the ceiling

"Yeah I guess, it's all so... incredible"

"It won't get less, especially now that you're doing music too"

"I've talked with my producer about doing an album" he turned his head to me, I did the same "We think maybe just an EP first, the single came across really great but we don't want to immediately overdo it"

"I don't really understand much about that but sure" I smiled

"I don't either I just act like I do"

"Will you like stop acting if your music becomes big ?" I thought about it for a second before answering

"No, I love acting too much to just stop, it's so fun"

"You think we'll be together in something again after Percy Jackson ?"

"Seems unlikely doesn't it ?" He shrugged a bit, we were quiet after that and when I looked back at him he was already asleep. I didn't even think twice before I quietly got out of bed, grabbed my crutches and left the room, I made sure to be really quiet as I made my way over to Aryans room. I knocked at his door and waited for a quiet come in

"Belle ?"

"Walkers asleep" I saw him smile as I sat down on his bed

"Finally, thought he was gonna be around the whole time" Aryan grinned

"Well he's the Steve what can I say" I lay down next to him while he frowns at my words "don't you know that sound ? Well it's finally me and you and you and me just us, and your friend Steve" I sang quietly

"Never heard of it but walkers totally Steve"

"Walker doesn't even know that he's Steve"

"I really want to tell him, I hate sneaking around"

"And I really want you to not get killed"

"Oh please I could easily take Walker in a fight" Aryan grinned playing with a piece of my hair that was hanging out of my bun

"I'm not so sure, he sure took Jason easily"

"I could take Jason while being half asleep Belle he should pray for me not to see him again" I grinned feeling a weird feeling in my stomach "did he try anything else ? Cause I will actually find him if he did or said anything to make you feel uncomfortable" I shake my head slightly

"No" I cuddled up to him enjoying the comfort he brought me, Jason never did that I realised, now when I look back at it Jason really wasn't that great, maybe not even good but he was my first boyfriend, my first love, I hadn't had any other experience i didn't know what it should feel like. This is what it should feel like

"Are you alright" I lifted my head to look up at him

"Yeah, just thinking" he kisses my lips before we go back to just laying there in each others arms, it might've been silent but it was the kind of comfortable silence you could sit in forever and not with everyone "I really wish I could stay here" I whispered into the silence after a while

"Stay"

"I can't, Walker would notice"

"Well then we wouldn't have to tell him"

"We can't do that" he sighs tightening his grip around me "one day we can just do this, without second guessing"

"One day..." he slid his hand up and down my arm slowly "maybe one day we won't be 2500 miles apart"

"One day" I nodded "you know we'll see each other all day every day when filming season 2 starts"

"I can't wait for that"

"I'm so excited to film the next season, I get to be the villain how fun is that ?"

"Well the fake villain"

"Well the watchers don't know that"

"I can totally see you being the villain you know, you give villain vibes" I punch his arm "ow, I'm kidding, you're my little sunshine I can't even imagine you as a villain"

"You're gonna have to fight me next season"

"Won't be that hard" I hit his arm again

"You're so mean, I'm leaving"

"Noo, don't leave I'm just joking"

"Okay I won't leave"

"Well that was easy"

"I didn't really want to leave"

I stayed with Aryan talking about anything and nothing for about an hour before leaving to not get seen by Walker. Honestly he would probably be too oblivious to understand it anyways if he found us cuddling

I mean we're talking about the guy who didn't know percabeth was a thing until book 4, when they literally kissed, and he still wasn't convinced and thought it was a friendly good luck kiss

I don't think Walker would understand if we were kissing right in front of him

"Good night sunshine"

"Good night starlight"
