after years of pining and yearning for one another, {{user}} and clarisse realized how dumb they were being for circling around who confessed first and they finally got into a relationship. but you soon realized dating the daughter of ares wasn't as easy as it seemed.

sure, she loved hearing you rant about your favorite books, and you liked wearing jerseys with her number at her basketball games.

but it wasn't like fairytales, with sparkles and romantic dates, not at all. you could only see her in summer camp season, since you lived too far from arizona. and even if she visited you almost regularly, you hated being long-distance.

if that wasn't enough, clarisse tried her best to get her anger issues in check, but sometimes stress from her wanting to prove herself to ares made her lash out at you. she always tried to make up for it though. you knew it wasn't her fault she had such a shitty father.

in the comfort of your cabin, you snuggled closer to your girlfriend's body, resting your head on her chest as she slowly ran her fingers through your hair. before you could say anything, her lips parted. "hey, the end of august is near. we can't see each other that much anymore after it."

clarisse rolled her dark eyes in annoyance at the situation, mentally preparing herself for the endless nights of video-calls that are going to occur in the next few months. "god, I hate it so much. why can't you just come live with me?"

she leaned in, wrapping her arms around your waist from behind. "imagine how fun it would be. I could take you to the best libraries in phoenix any day, and I would finally have the time to play every life is strange game with you. not to mention how much my mother adores you."
