Coffee buddies

Chapter 20: 2 people, one hoodie

-------------------Tim's pov:-------------------

Four movies, 2 bowls of popcorn, and 2 cups of hot cocoa later, and we were still sitting o the couch. Percy had moved around halfway to rest her legs on my own. She seemed invested in the movie, but I couldn't help but occasionally glance in her direction. Her eyes almost glowed as the light from the tv hit them. Her hair was pulled back in a ponytail, but a couple strands didn't quite make it in. 

I admired her for a minute before shaking my head and turning to the screen. The movie didn't continue to play for long though as a giant stop button appeared on the screen. I looked over to see Percy looking over at me. 

"You wanna take a break? We have been sitting for a while" She asks, her eyebrow slightly raised. 

I nodded hesitantly "Sure, but what do you wanna do instead?" I asked. This seemed to catch her slightly off guard as she started to think about what we could do, I watched as gears seemed to start before she looked up with bright eyes. 

"Wanna take a walk around for a bit? A nice stroll could get us some fresh air" She suggested, retracting her legs back so that they now rested on the ground, her ponytail falling to the side to rest on her shoulder. 

I nodded, as a walk did sound nice. 

She smiled kindly and stood up, I followed quickly as we both made our way to the front. She quickly slipped on some shoes and a jacket. 

"Alright you ready?" She asked, her hand already resting on the door handle. I nodded and she opened the door, allowing for us to start our decent down the stairs. 

After a bit of time we eventually made it to the ground floor and outside. 

Now one thing I had not accounted for was it being so damn cold tonight. As the doors of the apartment building opened up a strong gust of freezing air blew into our faces, immediately making the hairs on my arm raise. Percy smiled before continuing to walk outside, of course not wanting to bother her I continued walking as well. 

We both made our way down the street. Apparently we had been in the house for a while because the sun had started to set, the darkness already seeming to consume the city. 

"So, you missed me a lot huh?" I hear Percy ask from beside me. Her voice carried a sarcastic tone. 

I rolled my eyes to try and hide the truth that I truly did miss her a lot. "Oh yeahh, a ton" I received a small chuckle from her as we turned the corner. Another breeze blew past us and I couldn't stop as I shivered slightly. 

"Are you cold?" I looked over to see Percy with a concerned look on her face. Her eyes seemed to examine me, in a scarily quick manner may I add. 

I didn't even get the chance to answer by the time that she started taking off her hoodie. 

"Hey! I'm not that cold! Seriously, trust me, I'm ok-"

"Oh shut it, I'm not allowing you to get sick. Plus my immune system is like a god's so I know I won't get sick. She managed to finally take off the hoodie, revealing a short sleeved grey shirt with a black horse on it, some words surrounded it spelling out "Camp half-blood" 

I was too busy reading her shirt to notice her as she got on tippy toes and shoved the hoodie on me. She pulled it down until I had been trapped inside, forced to put my hands through the long sleeves. 

"Are you happy?" She smiled and nodded. 

"Oh absolutely" As she gave me a snarky grin. I rolled my eyes before grabbing her shoulder and pulling her into my side. She let out a little sound in surprise. 

"The least I can do is keep you somewhat warm, so you can't stop me" She glared at me but the smile that still played on her lips betrayed her. 

"Fine, now lets keep walking." She started to walk, pulling me with her until I matched her speed. 

We walked in comfortable silence for a while, her hand having moved to make it's way around my side and my arm still around her shoulder. 

"You feeling better?" She asked, looking up at me with a grin. 

I sighed, a plume of fog appearing in front of me. "Yes, thank you Percy for lending me your hoodie." It came out a little sarcastic but I truly did mean it. 

"You're welcome my fine friend" She chuckled to herself and I couldn't help but let a small laugh escape me as well. 

((Author's note: I reallllly wanted to make something bad happen this chapter but this is low key a little too wholesome to ruin so I'm not))

I'm not sure how long we walked for as we passed by various closing shops and many opening bars. The sun had fully set by the time we were making our way back, and even as we walked into the apartment building Percy continued to keep herself tucked into my side, her warmth radiating even through the hoodie. She only really let go once we reached her apartment. She let go as she reached into her back pocket to pull out her keys. She opened the door, allowing us both entrance.

Once inside she locked the door again before turning to me. 

"Now let's finish the movie!" She said as she hopped over the back of the couch, resuming the same position she had earlier. She quickly started the movie before turning to me. She raised her eyebrows as she leaned forward, she hit the spot of the couch where I was sitting earlier before turning back to the movie. 

I didn't stop that smile that made it's way onto my lips as I made my way back onto the couch, Percy's hoodie still keeping me warm.
