you were fine with percy jackson being on your team, you had seen him play on the opposing side many times, a great player but not good enough to beat you. but today he was on your team and his battle strategies seemed to be different from yours, which is why you assume your team lost. but when you went to check on him he got distracted and didn’t realize a player from the opposing team crossing the border, making your team lose, never in your years at camp had you been so furious or disappointed “I hate you, do you know that?” you snap, taking off your last piece of armor percy smirks “I think you mentioned it once or twice” “I never lose. I’ve never lost a game of capture the flag until your annoying ass begged to be on my team!” “we lost and it’s all your fault” you leave the armory in a rush, almost eager to get away from him “there will be no ‘next time’ and if you chose to join my team again I’m not going to play” “but you love capture the flag” “does it look like I give a shit?” “well you’re kinda throwing a fit because we lost so yeah, it does” “because I never lose smartass!” “there’s a first for everything” “oh my gods, you’re insufferable, truly” you laugh in frustration “I’m leaving now” “wait” “holy gods of olympus, are you obsessed with me or something? just let me leave!” “just listen to me, will you?” you stay silent and percy continues, “I won’t be on your team anymore, if this game really means that I like you, I really do, and I know we’re not the best of friends and most words we exchange are through yelling. but to admit I really like you. I joined your team not only because were the best players but because I wanted to be with you, to play with you. I didn’t know you would be so mad about it but I promise if you don’t want me to be on your team anymore I won’t. I love seeing you happy when you win,”he removes his hands. for a moment nothing happens, you stand stunned in the same spot, a short time to process percy’s words.
