He couldn't help it.

He couldn't even place the expression on her face, open and earnest with moisture building in her eyes, making them shine as she looked up at him.

He closed the gap before he knew what he was doing, his hand sliding around her waist, spreading against the small of her back as he pulled her in, his lips meeting hers tenderly, gently, but with full and clear intention. They parted against hers, tasting the juice on her lips, lightning racing between them.

He felt something shift in his chest - like a piece that had been out of alignment, slotting back into place.

He hadn't even realised the hole was there, until that sweet, simple kiss filled it.

The Underworld faded away from her mind once Poe leaned in, kissing her as she had imagined only minutes ago. She didn't resist him, only tilted her head further up just so her lips could be more aligned with his. Lips that were so soft, and perfect against her own.

His hand placed at the small of her back, and how well they fit together. Her eyes fell shut, causing those tears to slide down her face, but she didn't care.

It felt good, it felt as though she was finally part of something and it felt like...

It felt like home.

The piece of her that she had been trying to fill with love from her mother...it was barely there. The sadness and heaviness of it was nearly gone because of a simple kiss. Her first kiss, given to her by Poe--!!

Poe. Finn.

The realization came crashing down on her, making her pull back and realized how close to the wall she actually was. Panic started to set in with her, torn between slapping Poe for kissing her and running off to find Finn and apologize.

"We...we shouldn't have done that."

Hope was blooming so bright and hot in his chest that he was sure he could feel the echo of it in Finn, somewhere across the other side of the palace. He was always aware of his other half, and he knew Finn was aware of him. It didn't even occur to him, that Finn might be jealous, or wouldn't want him to do this. If Finn had kissed her first, he'd feel nothing but joy - and maybe yearning to join them.

But his heart felt so full, so centered, that he didn't even realise she was talking about Finn.

"Yes we should," he whispered, reading her panic for nervousness, his own heart drumming wildy. He raised his hands to cup both sides of her face, tilting it up towards him. "We should again. Stay, Rey. Stay--" And he leaned in again, pressing her back a little further so that a single step would have her pressed against the wall, aiming to steal another, deeper kiss--

"Stay, Rey."

Gods, how many nights did she yearn for her mother to tell her those words, to feel an ounce of pride from that woman, and yet it never came. With Poe, he was asking her to stay, asking her to stay because of whatever feelings he had for her, which shouldn't be the case.

And Zeus help her, she felt so weak against those words. Wanted nothing more than to have that mouth on hers again, and maybe taste him for a brief moment. But she could not do that to Finn. Couldn't let hurt him in this manner, the same way Zeus had hurt Hera time after time with his affairs.

She felt the heat of Poe's body against hers, enough to make her knees weak, but she had to be strong. She tried to pull further back, but her back was against the wall. Instead, her free hand moved, striking him across his cheek. The sound of her flesh hitting his echoed down the hall.

"No, Poe. Finn--you are Finn's other half and I..." made another mistake. Hurt Finn again.

"I need to tell him." And pray that he'd forgive her.

The slap echoed, pain blooming in his cheek. But the surprise was far sharper. Damn, when was the last time he'd felt pain?

He stepped back, pulling from her, the sting of rejection almost sharper than the sting of his cheek, but the confusion hit him hardest.

"Okay?" He said, a little dumbly. He wasn't sure what she needed to tell Finn, though something occurred to him, frustration digging into his chest. Did she not want them, if they were together? Because as much as he wanted her - and in those few seconds with her body pressed close he really, really wanted her - there was no way he could possibly leave Finn. This simply was never going to happen, if she expected something with just one of them. It was both, or not at all.

But he was too stunned to get the words out, and just took a step further back, holding his cheek and staring at her.

"He's in the garden, I think," He said, after reaching out for him. Trying to find just where he was, and he was being pulled in that direction.

[personal profile] talentedscavenger 2019-10-15 12:35 am (UTC)(link)
"Okay?" Rey repeated, looking at Poe with just as much confusion. How was any of this okay?! He kissed her--and he should only be kissing Finn. And she shouldn't have kissed him, really she shouldn't. She shouldn't have had those feelings about Poe or about Finn...

And he was acting so calm about it?

"You just kissed me and you think that's okay?" Was Poe that thick headed? Did he see nothing wrong with what he did? Hurting Finn like that...she felt the urge to hit him again. Damnit, he had to share the similar passion and traits like Zeus, didn't he? A penchant for kissing women who weren't their spouse or lover.

"How could you do that to Finn? I thought you loved him!" Fuck it, she was turning away from him and heading to the garden and hoping that Finn would forgive her.

"You kissed me back," he pointed out. Had he gotten the signals completely wrong? She had to feel it, too, right? The perfect way their bodies slotted against each other...

"What? Of course I love him--" He started, but she was already stalking away. Damn it. He'd blown it.

"Let's talk to her first, Poe," he muttered to himself once she was out of ear shot. "This is what you get for not listening to him. Take it slowly, Poe--"

He started following after her, still rubbing his cheek where she'd slapped him. It hadn't lessened the yearning any less. She had an amazing arm...

Yes, she kissed him back and she felt....

Warm. Excited, and wanted more.'

And now she felt awful for having kissed him back. She had committed such a horrible act that Finn.....if he never forgave her, she would understand. She wasn't the type of person to just kiss someone else's lover...granted, she didn't want to stop kissing him, but she shouldn't have done it in the first place.

She was going to lose someone so precious because of a lapse in judgement.

"Finn!" she called out as they reached the garden, picking up her pace.

Poe followed her, but not particularly quickly, mostly because he didn't want to get slapped again. But as she ran up to Finn, he could be seen walking up a few dozen feet behind her, rubbing his jaw and giving Finn an apologetic look.

Later, maybe they could laugh at this. It was a gap in communication, but Rey was upset over losing one friend and harming them, whereas she still wanted to yell at Poe for being so....stupid! The blame didn't fall solely on him, she had kissed Poe back and that would forever haunt her.

Spotting Finn, she picked up her pace until she was in front of him, looking upset. In her right hand she still had that pomegranate Poe had given her.

"I'm sorry," Rey blurted out once Finn was close enough.

"I'm so sorry, I shouldn't have kissed Poe. It was a lapse in judgement and I didn't want to hurt you. It won't happen again. I'm sorry, Finn." So many apologies left her lips, completely afraid she had lost someone precious to her.

“Sorry,” he said as he walked over.

“I know you said slow but - look, there was no way I could have resisted the look on her face, just then. You wouldn’t have been able to, either.”

Well. Finn probably could - he was way less impulsive - but that wasn’t the point.

While Rey wasn't on the verge of tears, she was pretty upset over what happened. She wasn't like Zeus in any way, shape or form. She did not go after people who were in other relationships. She didn't lust after anyone--until now. Until with Poe and Finn, and the stress of it was making it hard for her to see things for what they were.

Which was why she was utterly confused by the little smile on Finn's face. Was this a reoccurring thing? Did Poe chase after others, showing them fruit and kissing them?

"I'm not okay, Poe kissed me and I kissed him back--and I won't do it again. I wouldn't betray your trust like that," she explained again, looking back at Poe then at Finn.

Would it sink in now?

"I slapped him...he was going to kiss me again, and I couldn't do that. I wouldn't--I didn't want to hurt you, Finn."

"I made her a fruit," Poe piped up, "And then I got too excited to wait to give it to her, sorry."

Is he saving Finn or making it worse? Probably the latter. He walked over to them and then leaned on the tree.

"When I asked you to stay I wasn't just asking for me. We both want you to stay, Rey."

[personal profile] talentedscavenger 2019-10-16 02:41 am (UTC)(link)
It was a relief knowing Rey hadn't betrayed Finn. She was ready to apologize again, the words ready on her tongue, but Finn seemed...okay with everything? He seemed okay that Poe had kissed her and she had kissed him back, and did she...did she hear him? He wanted to kiss her too? The words were washing over her, but her brain couldn't keep up with what was happening.

Finn lead her to the tree she created for him and for Poe. And now she was feeling guilty for slapping Poe--it was all a big misunderstanding, one Rey couldn't completely wrap around.

"You want me to stay..." she repeated, taking one thing at a time. Her gaze moved from Poe to Finn. "And you're okay that I kissed Poe...and.." Pink rose to her cheeks. "And you want to kiss me too?"

Honestly, this was a lot to wrap her head around, and she couldn't fathom why they wanted to do this. Why they wanted to kiss her, or why she wanted to be kissed--and picturing how lovely it would be to be in between both of them, being held by them and having sweet kisses pressed to her skin--

Nope, now wasn't the time for that.

"I'm sorry, this....this is really hard to comprehend. I told Poe I wanted to stay--and he kissed me for it. I.." she brought her free hand up to push back some of the strands from her face.

"I don't understand why?" Or what they wanted to ask her, or if there was anything they wanted to ask her?

Oh no, Finn was being so awkward and cute that Poe felt his heart swell three sizes.

“Well, no, I don’t think we really can skip getting married, not if we want to secure you a life away from Demeter. What we mean is that... it doesn’t have to be like a normal marriage. Think of it like an alliance, of sorts. To give you power away from your mother. You wouldn’t be obligated to do anything, or give us anything. We’d give you your complete freedom.”

That had been the original plan, anyway. He pushed off the tree and stepped closer, gently placing a hand on Rey’s back as he came to stand behind her.

“But we both... we’ve been here a long time, Rey. We’ve never wanted anything besides each other, before. And I know we just met, but... I think we could have more than a simple alliance, too.” His voice had dropped a little lower, a little huskier, and he leaned in a bit to rumble in her ear.

“At the very least, I would very much like to see the two of your together, like we were.”

[personal profile] talentedscavenger 2019-10-16 11:16 am (UTC)(link)
Looking up at Finn with innocence and confusion in her eyes, Rey was half expecting him to tell her....well, what she wasn't sure, but certainly not this. Not asking her for her hand in marriage. Or that Poe would readily agree to it. A complete turn around from their first meeting where they were yelling and fighting each other.

They were trying to help her. Trying to help her break free from Demeter's shackles in a way that....looked like they were doing the same thing, but an alliance could work? Maybe? It was a lot to grasp and process, and Poe made it harder when he touched her back and stood behind her.

Another jolt of electricity ran through her. The images she thought of before, kissing Finn, yearning to be in his embrace came flooding back. Was it possible to have feelings for two people? Or to feel such love from two people she barely knew. Yet...the current running through her told it was. She felt a connection, something she had been longing for since she could remember.

Her eyes drifted downward, collecting her thoughts as she thought about what they were proposing.

"I didn't think it was possible for me to have these feelings for two people....but, this is something there that I want to nurture...with both of you," she murmured, tilting her head up to look at Finn as goosebumps danced across her skin thanks to Poe's warm breath on her ear.

Her eyes drifted down to Finn's lips, and before she could second guess herself, she leaned in for a sweet, simple kiss. Her cheeks burned from blushing so much, but the same feeling she had with Poe, it was there with Finn. She couldn't say no to either of them.

Poe's heart felt so full it was fit to bursting, sliding his arm over Finn's and grasping his elbow, the two of them locked around Rey like a single embrace.

He'd never actually considered having anyone outside of the two of them, but watching Finn and Rey kiss was like unlocking a part of his heart he didn't know existed. Like unravelling a piece of fate he'd never managed to understand, before. Regardless of what the other two felt, he knew he'd just stepped completely off the deep end.

He chuckled, happily, leaning in a little to press his lips to Rey's hair while the two of them kissed.

He and Finn had never technically been married. They existed in a strange sort of pseudo state, where the gods couldn't quite decide if they were one or two beings. If they were one, why be married? If they were two, that was a different story.

He realised, now, that it could be both. And with Rey in the picture, he could marry both of them. A three-part union.

Even if she never kissed him again, she'd carved out a space in his heart in a matter of days.

"I guess I'd better head to Olympus," he mused happily, completely expecting to be ignored as Rey and Finn discovered each other.

Rey’s heart was beating loudly against her chest. If she were a mortal, she would be concerned but as it stood, she felt....elated? Excited? A wave of emotions and feelings she hadn’t felt before and it awoken something inside of her. Both of them were filling a hole she didn’t know existed until she kissed them.

So yes, she was willing to marry them if they had her.

She felt Finn’s arms come around her, nestled between two men who were doing a wonderful job of leaving her breathless. Finn’s attempt to deepen the kiss was successful, her tongue shyly seeking his out before her nerves got the best of her. Rey pulled back slightly, if only so she could reach behind her and brush her digits over any part of Poe she could reach.

“Maybe not yet?” She asked, lips bruised from kissing both of them and a flush creeping over her cheeks.

“I’m sorry for earlier...and I feel really guilty for it,” she began, referring to the slap she served him.

“I want to nurture what we have...and I want time with both of you. So yes...” a smile bloomed over her face as she lifted the fruit Poe made for her up to Finn for him to bite.

“My answer to both of you is yes.”

“If I actually had done anything to hurt Finn, I would have deserved that slap,” he teased, but he could barely contain how happy and hopeful he was.

What the hell did too fast or too slow mean to Gods anyway? They were what they were.

He laughed when Finn bit into the fruit, the dark red juice spilling down his chin.

He pressed a warm kiss to Rey’s cheek, then reached out and took the fruit, taking a bite himself.

“There. Settled, then.” He grinned and wiped the juice from his lips with the back of his hand.

“Though I still say that the faster I go to Zeus the easier it will be to convince him that’s why I kidnapped you.”
