"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."

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.”

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.”

Time meant nothing to them, and perhaps that’s what they took for granted. Mortals only had a limited number of years before they were floating down the River Styx. They learned to cherish time....or at least some of them did.

Finn’s kiss did little to stifle the giggle that left her. Rey kisses him back, feeling so hopeful and....happy? When was the last time she felt this way? She didn’t know, but she didn’t want to lose it. This would take work, but she was willing to fight for it. Fight for them.

“Ah, here..” her hand wasn’t holding the fruit anymore and wiped a small spot beneath Finn’s lower lip. A small spot he missed, or maybe she was yearning to touch him again.

“Better, and as for you...” she craned her neck to look at Poe, a flash of guilt in her eyes.

“I still want to make it up to you. Maybe when you come back from seeing Zeus, we could try again?” Another kiss, maybe not in the hallway, but she’s want to take her time with him.

Poe smiled at Rey, his eyes twinkling.

“Yeah, I think that’ll be fine,” he replied, a hint of a tease in his voice. Did she seriously think he didn’t want to kiss her again?

He wasn’t expecting Finn to kiss him, but he clearly didn’t mind. It was distracting enough that when Finn asked his question, Poe needed a second to remember what they were talking about.

“Ah- I should be alright. I won’t stop you if you want to come, but... I think I can handle it.”
talentedscavenger: (Excited)

[personal profile] talentedscavenger 2019-10-17 07:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, Rey didn’t know if Poe would want to be near her again, considering they ended up fighting, or becoming physical in a way that left marks.

She watched on as Finn kissed Poe, feeling warmth, happiness and something else stir in her. Was it arousal? Possibly, but she didn’t want to dwell on it for long. There were things they had to do—important things.

“I’m fine here, I can tend to the garden and keep working on a few things.”

Whether Finn went with Poe or not was fine with her. She would have plenty to do...and maybe find time to take a relaxing bath. She more than earned that.

Poe gave a sharp whistle and the dog in question came bounding up to them - clearly it hadn’t been very far off.

“As long as we get there before Demeter does, everything should go smooth as silk,” he said, giving Beebee a firm pat on the head and a rub. “If something goes wrong here, tell him, and he can come fetch us. He can find me anywhere.”

He was brimming with hope and happiness, a wide smile on his lips.

She’d said she wanted to try again later, so he didn’t make a move for her lips - but he did lean on and press a warm kiss to her cheek, only a scant centimetre away.

“I promise we’ll make this worth it.”
