Sunshine is Back! (p)

I blushed and gave him a small smile, noddi g eagerly. "Alright. Date tonight it is, I guess. But please, nothing fancy. Ice cream and pizza are just fine, alright?"I warned him, dreading what the extroverted Apollo kid would com up with.

"Well, you certainly seem quite... Social, and I'm not that. I could never be that."I muttered, my mind drifting off to make some worst-case scenarios on how this date and this thing between us would end.

I rolled my eyes at him and wrinkled my nose at the kiss. "As if. Just one date? You'll have to try a lot more harder than that to win me over, Mr. Sunshine. Prove to me that you really want this. And no, your whining about it all this time doesn't prove anything."I rushed to add teasingly. "But still. Challenge accepted. Bring it on, Clarke."

"No, no sleep, please. I want to hear you play more. I.... I missed you playing. I-I tried but enchanted music doesn't sound the same as the one a human can produce."I explained, my cheeks heating up in embarrassment. "Plus, I want to know about the quest. You promised you'd tell me everything, I want to know. Please?"

I smiled and snuggled up close to his side, resting my head on his chest as he spoke, the steady beat of his heart reassuring me he really was there and he really was okay. "You met your father? Lord Apollo? That sounds incredible! I'm sure he was proud of you - and he should be."I nodded slightly to myself, my finger unconsiously tracing the infinity symbol on his side. "My time here was.... boring. You know how much I hate the outside and people so I didn't do much when you weren't there to whine like a puppy that needs to be walked."I teased, chosing to make my side of the story a bit more light hearted than it actually was in order to not make him feel guilty.

I blushed but rolled my eyes at him in a bored manne. "Of course I missed you, stupid, we wouldn't be having this conversation if I hadn't." I replied with a small grin, nuzzling my cheek against his chest. "Come on, you've got to tell me more about the quest! You were gone so long, meeting your dad couldn't have been the only highlight!"I whined and poked his arm in a demanding motion.

"Lady Ceres and Lady Prosperina? Wow, that is incredible! You're so lucky! I mean, except for the snake part."I added in an afterthought, mentally rolling my eyes at myself. "I hope that wasn't too dangerous. I mean, it probably was, but judging from the fact you're here alive right now, I'd like to think that it wasn't so much. You know, just to keep myself from going overboard with worrying. I seem to do that a lot lately."

I purred and tilted my head upwards to grin at him. "Just like this is going to be the perfect amount of dangerous for my sanity?"I raised an eyebrow in challenge before reaching up to place a small kiss on his cheek. "I do actually fear for my sanity,you know"

I blushed and wrinkled my nose in mock disgust as he rolled on top of me, trying to push him off with a chuckle.. "Well, for a variety of reasons. One of them being how annoyingly happy you are all the time."I mumbled and gave him a playful glare.

I whined and rolled on my side on the bed, refusing to get up and instead observing him as he walked around the room. "But I don't wanna!" I pouted and pulled his pillow in a hug, burying my nose on the soft fabric and closing my eyes again.
