I placed my hands on his cheek and pushed him away panting. "Can you give me a warning next you kiss me?" I cocked an eyebrow, he chuckled as he placed his forehead against mine and looked into my eyes. "S-Sorry...I couldn't help it..." he whispered as I giggled, he then got a text from someone, he pulled out his phone, looked at it and then sighed. "It's Hugh...he's asking me if I know who is going to be playing Cosette" he spoke as I snorted, "you're sitting beside her," I told him as he chuckled. "I'm gonna text back saying I don't know but I heard she's beautiful" he chuckled as I rolled my eyes, "again...I don't see this beauty you're apparently seeing" I told him as I got up, "do you like poetry?" he suddenly asked as he looked up from his phone and got up. "It depends on what type it is" I smiled at him, "any type" he got, "I prefer Edgar Allan Poe..." I told him, "ah! His poems and stories are amazing..." he smiled.

"It was many and many a year ago,
In a kingdom by the sea,
That a maiden there lived whom you may know
By the name of Annabel Lee;
And this maiden she lived with no other thought
Than to love and be loved by me." He spoke as I smiled at him.

"I was a child and she was a child,
In this kingdom by the sea,
But we loved with a love that was more than love—
I and my Annabel Lee—
With a love that the wingèd seraphs of Heaven
Coveted her and me." I recited as he cocked his head, "you know it by heart?" he asked as I nodded, "Annabel Lee is one of my favorite poems of his. My favorite story of his is TaleTell Heart" I told him as he gave me a small smile, I sat down on a cushioned part of the boat. He sat beside me.

"And this was the reason that, long ago,
In this kingdom by the sea,
A wind blew out of a cloud, chilling
My beautiful Annabel Lee;
So that her highborn kinsmen came
And bore her away from me,
To shut her up in a sepulcher
In this kingdom by the sea." he looked at me.

"The angels, not half so happy in Heaven,
Went envying her and me—
Yes!—that was the reason (as all men know,
In this kingdom by the sea)
That the wind came out of the cloud by night,
Chilling and killing my Annabel Lee" I softly recited as he placed his hand in mine.

"But our love it was stronger by far than the love
Of those who were older than we—
Of many far wiser than we—
And neither the angels in Heaven above
Nor the demons down under the sea
Can ever dissever my soul from the soul
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;" He interlocked his fingers with mine, he placed his forehead against mine once more.

"For the moon never beams, without bringing me dreams
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And the stars never rise, but I feel the bright eyes
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And so, all the night-tide, I lie down by the side
Of my darling—my darling—my life and my bride,
In her sepulcher there by the sea—
In her tomb by the sounding sea." We both spoke as our noses brushed against each other, we heard footsteps we quickly moved apart. I cleared my throat as Johnny walked up, he held up his hands, "I interrupted something didn't I?" he asked, "no" I spoke as Eddie said yes at the same time. Johnny backed away, "I'm just gonna...go back to bed..." he walked off as I snorted, "please don't tell me that he's intimidated by you" I looked at him as he laughed, "no..." he shook his head, "she has eyes like a salamander" I said quoting Newt from Crimes of Grindelwald which caused him to laugh. "I can't tell you how many times my friend has called Newt...Newt Salamander instead of Scamander..." I told him as he laughed again, "Newt Salamander...I'm gonna start calling him that from now on" he told me as I laughed, he then pulled me closer to him. "I enjoyed cuddling with you this morning...and last night," he told me as I blushed, "chill out broski...again...we only met yesterday," I told him, "yeah...but that doesn't mean I can't enjoy cuddling you" he chuckled as I smiled, "fine!" I rolled my eyes as he lays back, I lay beside him and placed my head on his chest. We stared at the stars.

"Don't you fret, Monsieur Marius
I don't feel any pain
A little fall of rain
Can hardly hurt me now
You're here, that's all I need to know
And you will keep me safe
And you will keep me close
And rain will make the flowers grow"
I began to sing as he tensed, "really?! You start to sing that song?" he looked down at me, I placed my chin on his chest, "I'm bored okay..." I told him as he chuckled.

"But you will live, 'Ponine - dear God above
If I could close your wounds with words of love"
he sang as I lay my head back down on his chest.

"Just hold me now, and let it be
Shelter me, comfort me"

"You would live a hundred years
If I could show you how
I won't desert you now..."

"The rain can't hurt me now
This rain will wash away what's past
And you will keep me safe
And you will keep me close
I'll sleep in your embrace at last


The rain that brings you here
Is Heaven-blessed!
The skies begin to clear
And I'm at rest
A breath away from where you are
I've come home from so far
So don't you fret, Monsieur Marius


I don't feel any pain
A little fall of rain
Can hardly hurt me now


That's all I need to know
And you will keep me safe
And you will keep me close"

"Hush-a-bye, dear Eponine
You won't feel any pain
A little fall of rain
Can hardly hurt you now
I'm here"


"And rain..."

"And rain..."

"Will make the flowers..."

"Will make the flowers... grow..." he whispered the last part as my eyelids grew heavy again. I started to fall asleep to the beat of his heart.
