Mount Olympus [8]

Nic

I nod, "Not that she isn't... He's just... cautious, like I should have been."

```
Jace

I jump when she does, startled by the action, and snap out of my thoughts. I tighten my arms around her as a reflex and look down to find her cowered in my jacket.

Jackie

I smile and nod, "I know."

Rayah

I take a deep breath and dare to look again.

Nic

I flash a smile back and nod, sighing.

Jace

I watch her instead of the movie in a non-creepy way, sighing.

Jackie

I close my eyes again, yawning.

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Rayah

I bite my lip, watching the movie.

Nic

I hesitate before scooping her up and setting her in the bed, pulling the covers over her and lying down over them at her side.

```
Jace

I look away and at the window, thinking.

Jackie

I smile, wrapping my arms around him.

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Rayah

I glance up at him before looking back at the movie, smiling lightly.

Nic

I wrap my arms back around her and turn off the light, smiling back.

``
Jace

I look at her when she glances up at me, smiling back and looking at the movie again.

Jackie

I smile wider, kissing his arm.
,,,,,,,,,,,,
Rayah

I look up at him, sighing.

Nic

I smile the same and hesitate before kissing her forehead, "You should sleep."

```
Jace

I look down at her when she looks at me.

Jackie

I shake my head, "I'm stubborn."

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Rayah

I smile and look into his eyes, blinking and snapping out of it before looking down, "Sorry."

Nic

I smile, "I've noticed. You still should."

``
Jace

I flash a smile and shake my head, "S'fine. Don't worry about it."

Jackie

I smile and shake my head playfully.

,,,,,,,,,,
Rayah

I blush, smiling still as I nod.

Nic

I study her, still smiling, "Why not?"

```
Jace

I smile and study her before looking down, nodding back.

Jackie

I shrug and keep my eyes closed.

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Rayah

I bite my lip and glance up at him again.

Nic

I rest my forehead against hers and close my eyes as well, sighing.

Jace

I feel her looking at me, so I look down at her and flash a smile.
