[ she doesn't look disappointed or anything, but she does shake her head. it's fine if she hasn't, really. she was still able to feel good about something, which is probably the important (!?!?!?!?) part here.
she looks around for a towel or something to wipe her hands with, though. but lbr what she actually wants beyond a towel is an actual shower... that would make her feel so good right now. ]
[ Yeah but... he doesn't get it, wouldn't it feel uncomfortable? Like your body can't cool down or ... He bites his lip.
Now he just feels bad... ah. ] Sorry-- [ Merlin it's not like you've even seen a girl half naked before, nevermind like this jfc. ] Should I...?
[ Try harder??? Just stop????????? He doesn't know why she's looking around either but Athena why would he have a towel in his bedroom. You need the bathroom for that. ]
[ WELL MAYBE HIS MESSY BEDROOM HAS A TOWEL who knows!!!! or a hanky or something! :E gosh merlin. gosh.
but ah... athena's already red but her face gets even redder when merlin speaks. it's probably the same colour as her hair now. some strands are stuck to her body because of the sweat, making her look even more like a mess but it's not as bad as her hand. ]
Um-- It's fine? [ it'd be totally selfish of her if he kept going just for her anyway!?!? she doesn't know... ok... ] We- [ she looks away as she bites her lip. ] We can stop.
[ It wasn't messy before this happened?!?!? But ah... it probably doesn't help that... half her bra is still pulled down right? But he definitely frowns at that, finally sliding his hand away just in case that is uncomfortable. Just. ] You're sure? I can... probably concentrate better now.
but ah... merlin!??!?! stop putting pressure on her. she kind of feels bad for saying no now, mostly because she can tell he's feeling bad too, but it's just even more embarrassing now?!?! what just happened is already too much to handle, putting some spotlight on her would just be way too much for comfort. ]
I'm sure. [ at least now her breathing's stable and calm, though. ] Are you okay?
[ He nods a little though when she says she's sure, dropping it now. He'll just make sure that next time this awkward conversation doesn't have to happen. ] Okay.
[ He leans to give her a small kiss, breathes out slowly. ] I'm okay. We-- [ That's when he finally looks to the side and sees how fucked his room is. He blinks, eyebrows shooting up. ] --should probably... um. Shower?
[ He feels just as gross now too, it's okay, but god where is anything in his room now?! ]
athena nods without saying anything, though, and heads inside the bathroom to wash her hands before she unhooks her bra and just lets it fall on the floor alongside her undies. hopefully merlin doesn't see any of that before she remembers the door is open and she doesn't really need to get embarrassed any further.
she takes her time in showering, though, probably close to an hour before she comes back out to grab her bag and go back inside the bathroom to actually get dressed. she doesn't know if she should wear a dress again for dinner?? but right now she changed to some comfy clothing. just a white tank top and pink shorts.
... does merlin have a hair dryer because she could use one right now. ]
His eyes are already shut though, she doesn't have to worry about him watching her or anything. After around twenty five minutes of her being in there though he definitely fell asleep... even if his hand is still gross too. Thanks Athena.
There's a hairdryer in his room on his bookcase but it's only a small one considering he doesn't have much hair. ]
[ well, she wouldn't want to wake him up with the noise the hair dryer makes, so she sits on the edge of the bed and taps his shoulder in an attempt to wake him up. at least it's not her who fell asleep this time around!! ]
Hey, it's your turn now. [ sorry she took so long... >w< ]
[ His eyes flutter a bit, but he doesn't actually move at first. He has to blink up at her as if dazed. (Maybe he is still a bit dazed actually). ]
My turn? [ That's when he realises that he didn't even move and just... stayed there after.
Everything. ]
Sorry. I didn't... [ Mean to fall asleep. He sits up then, careful with his hands because yeah they're... dirty af. But he'll get up then and at least this time when he goes to shower he doesn't drop his underwear until he's in the bathroom. She'll hear the shower start but there's a thunk noise as his head just hits the shower wall.
[ merlin, ah... please be careful?!?! but athena gets back up once he's showering to set up the hair dryer. it's probably only when he comes out that she's actually done using it, tbh. why does she have so much hair...
once she's done drying her hair, though, she just sits back on the bed, hugging her dolphin. while she might have had a lot of time in the shower to reflect on what just happened, she definitely didn't do it. it's only now that she's thinking back on what they just did and she buries her face on the dolphin.
[ what is careful... but really it's not that long he's in there once he wakes up enough to clean himself up. He only realises after that he... forgot his clothes sorry Athena. He just wants to curl up with her and nap now. It's hard to believe any of this has happened really.
When he dries up he just wraps the towel around himself and opens the door a smudge. When he sees her head is down though he slips out to grab some loose clothes from his wardrobe so he can take them back to put them on.
The biggest problem is finding where his drawer went tbh. ]
[ she eventually plops down on the bed, laying on her side with the dolphin still in her arms. she seems to be staring at the opposite wall, not even minding that her vision is al blurry and all she can see right now are blurry circles rather than lights.
she should probably do something productive like clean up the mess but she still can't think straight even though it's already been more than an hour. ]
[ When he finishes getting dressed in the bathroom with a plain burgundy shirt and black lounge trousers he ends up standing at the door of the bathroom, a little worried that she's curled up on the bed maybe like she said she was okay when she wasn't. He doesn't know. He quickly cleans everything away first, only blinking as they walk themselves back into place.
When it's all cleared up he sets the fan to run in the bathroom and leaves it all open, using the dryer on his own hair to style it into place.
He shifts onto the bed after, curling up behind her to hug her from behind. ] Are you okay?
[ that wakes her up from her unconscious daydreaming and she turns until she's on her back, facing him. despite what just happened, he's still warm, and it feels nice to have his arms around her. ]
I'm okay. I was just thinking.
[ is this the part where she admits she maaayyyyy have had a rather dirty dream with him in it? leon told her that she should tell him. LIKE THAT'S EASY TO DO. ]
[ He almost opens his mouth to tell her to not think too hard or she might hurt herself, but that seems too awful after what happened so he just shuts his mouth. He slips his arm under her to curl up against her properly.
It's warm like this. ]
About...? [ He wants to ask if it was The Thing but ... he can't bring himself to do it either. ]
[ at this point, she's decided not to tell him anything. some things are better off unsaid, anyway. this is probably one of those things. and she'd rather not make him uncomfortable especially after what just happened. ]
It's-- [ ah... right. she really has made up her mind. ] nothing important. Sorry.
[ she shifts again to lay on her side, facing him now. it's probably better this way too so she isn't crushing his arm that much. ]
[ He gives her a sleepy smile when she finally twists to face him, and ever drops his hand between them to give her dolphin a small pat. ]
If you're sure. [ He slides his hand over her cheek then, curling it up to stroke her hair. ] Definitely okay. You? ...Did I already ask that? [ God he's forgetting himself now help ]
Sorry. [ He's smiling at her though, leaning to bump his nose against hers. His eyes flutter shut and he goes quiet, just curling into her to hug her. ]
[ He wiggles a little closer, until they're pressed together. The dolphin is still squished in the middle though... why are you doing this to him, Athena... ]
A little. Is that okay? [ He's trying to not yawn. ] It's just... y'know.
