He really hadn't noticed she was tired before. Maybe he just wasn't paying attention, suddenly some guilt came over him. Was he preventing her from sleeping? He confirmed that thought as she said she'd been awake for twenty hours. In truth, he did know the feeling. He worked real hard as a pair of farm hands back home. He went above and beyond for his parents, there was nothing more important to him back those days than being productive for them. Between the three of them, there was a great amount of work to be done. God forbid a horse got loose or a crop got infested. Thankfully it seemed as though kinder forces looked upon that farm. He often wondered why that was. Sure, his dad had good karma when it came to Nereus, but the sea and crops didn't really fit together all that well in Dimitri's opinion.<br/><br/>He cut that thought off though as he admitted to himself, he'd never smiled a wider grin, not even after he was kissed, than he did when she snuggled up to him. Suddenly, not even her lack of attire made him uncomfortable. Everything was just perfect, he almost wished they'd just keep falling underwater forever. Being pressed against her created this strange feeling of comfort and belonging that he couldn't even explain. It was as though this other half of him was there that he never knew about. Completion, he decided, was the greatest way to describe it. They hit the bottom though, and so very regretfully, he let her roll off of him. Even if she made him feel like nothing in the world was wrong, it wasn't up to him what she did. And he certainly was never going to try and change that in anyway. He fought back the frown though, as he kissed her forehead when she dosed off.<br/><br/>He closed his eyes too. He'd never slept in the ocean, and it scared him a little bit. What if he lost control of himself while he went to sleep? What if water filled his lungs? He decided it wouldn't matter, he'd wake up before any vital harm came to him, and he'd be able to solve it. It was as good a time as any to learn, and it made him feel a lot more secure that Alannah was next to him while he tried this. Sure, he hadn't told her it could be bad. But, he was sure it'd be fine.<br/><br/>Thankfully, he was right, as he closed his eyes. He'd had the usual kind of demigod-haunted dreams, though they were different this time. He dreamed of a very eerie whisper coming from a loop of fierce waves. Thankfully that was all, he'd had some very odd visions in his sleep before, after all.<br/><br/>He woke up, he wasn't sure how long it'd been since they'd gone to sleep. There she was, just as he'd left her, sleeping next to him. He'd wondered how he should wake her up. Yelling probably wouldn't work well underwater. And even so, it was rude to wake up someone by yelling. He'd never really been in charge of waking people up. So he decided he'd wake her up in the only way he thought might be pleasant to wake up to. Unless, of course, she didn't realize it was him. That thought didn't come to him quick enough though, as he gently brushed his lips against hers for a third kiss. He couldn't help it, her lips were simply addicting.
