The Percabeth kiss🪷 (walker scobell x reader)

Aftermath🪷

I swim up to the surface, the change of temperature giving me chills. I wipe the water and hair out of my eyes so i can see. The chlorine burns a little, but its not that bad. I make my way out of the pool as fast as i can, and get handed a towel by the crew. I dry my arms and face as i notice Walker get out of the pool as well. He makes eye contact, and i make a puffing sound while raising my eyebrows. Im trying to act as casual as can be right now. If he notices that i got a little too into character, i'll creep him out. Everything will change, and i don't wanna lose our bond.

I gesture to the trailers; "I'm gonna go change into dry clothes, i'll see you later." and make a run for it.

When i'm at my trailer, i close the door, lock it, and change out of my clothes. This days' scene shooting has ended and I'm so tired. I put on some sweats, a t-shirt, and a hoodie. Basic but comfortable it is. When I'm finally done putting my wet clothes away, i drop onto the bed added to my trailer. I let myself disappear inside the mattress, and close my eyes while covering them with my hands. This day was definitely something.. Like a lovely dream that fades into a nightmare. I got to kiss Walker, but under insincere circumstances, and now I don't know how to move on from it. I can hear and feel my heartbeat banging inside my head, and it feels like it's gonna explode at any given moment.
The scenes replay in my head, over and over again. Everything builds up inside of me, and i fight the urge to scream by shoving my face into the pillow. I wonder how he's feeling right now.

Then i hear a knock on my door.
..... please tell me this isn't who i think it is.

I shoot up from my bed and take a deep breath before putting my hand on the door handle and pulling it down, revealing the person at my door.

It's Walker.

He smiles at me, holding a bag of chips and two coca cola's up for me to see.
"Can i come in?"

I smile back and gesture for him to come in. God this is such bad timing. Im not over this thing yet. But who am i to deny him? I cant help myself. He makes his way through my trailer and sits down on my bed. He opens the bag of chips, and i sit down next to him.

"Brought you a coke. And we can share these."
I smile. "Thanks! Im starved, being underwater so long really made me hungry."

I open my can of coke and sip up the fizz bubbles that come out through the top, while Walker starts munching on some of the chips. Silence. Painful, silence. I swallow my sip of coke, until Walker breaks the ice.

"So. Shooting underwater, i can never completely get used to it, feels like I'm gonna drown no matter how much I've trained, but you seemed fine! Were you not scared?" He looks at me. I answer him, but I don't think i can handle looking him in the eyes just yet.

"Are you kidding? I was SO nervous. I can handle water fine, but the amount of time we had to stay there really freaked me out. Besides, you grabbed my arm and pulled me down. I was just about ready to accept my fate and sleep with the non existent fishes inside the pool."

He chuckles. "You didn't look that nervous at all. I mean, you have to, being an actor and all, but i thought you handled it pretty great."

I shoot him a quick look of appreciation.
"Thank you.. hey, hand me some of those chips?"
I dig through the bag and munch on the crispy treats while waiting for this awkward feeling to go away.

"But, it wasn't all that bad, right?"

"What?"

"You know.." he widens his eyes to finish his sentence without any clear words.
