you knew it wasn’t a fully-dedicated and committed relationship with luke. so what? just a few minor and small kisses between friends was it. after all— you weren’t really the one he wanted. and it kinda hurt watching him leave with an small awkward smile and fleeing off to thaila’s tree and leaving you alone in the hermes cabin. it was so awkward.

but the temporary warmth between you two is what really compelled you to stay— in all honesty. you liked being with him for an hour or two and then having your own little solitude. it was weird, but you didn’t give a shit.

“me? what i have planned?” luke sighed before his arms crossed. “probably gonna visit thail’s tree, y’know, sparring… spending time with you. dunno, there’s a lot of options.”
