♫ Stupid Cupid- Connie Francis

connor wished Eros would’ve left him alone.

i mean, did Eros really have to make him fall in love with you?

he would’ve taken anyone else

see, connor has always been a heartbreaker. he’s played girl left and right, justifying his actions by calling them ‘pranks’ even though no one found them funny.

one day, you took a liking to him. you tried to tell him you liked him, to which he made a fool of you in front of his friends. he acted like he reciprocated for no more then 5 minutes before saying “you really think i like you?” his friends laughed, and he had a grim smirk in his face

from there, you hated him. you vowed to never even speak to him again. you avoided him like the plague. even when he played pranks on you and your cabin, you never even gave a reaction. you were determined not to give him the satisfaction of it.

he continued to do just that, flirting and messing with random people, he was relentless. he never thought he’d have a punishment for it. what, they’d retaliate? no one in camp would actually do that to him. he thought he was safe.

until Eros decided to step in!!

Eros saw how he’d been treating people, and he deserved a punishment, right? Eros decided that he’d given you the worst treatment out of everyone and he also took note that you hated Connor. so what better idea than to use you to teach connor a lesson?

He then took action. Eros found Connor in a huge crowd of people, messing with yet another girl. an Ares girl this time.

“i just wanted to know if you were interested in going out?” the girl asked, an unusual nervousness in her voice, not typical for an Ares kid.

“oh… oh wait. you thought you were getting somewhere with me? oh that’s funny. that’s really funny-“ he said between laughs until he stopped suddenly.

Eros had taken his shot, satisfied. he watched as connor’s words were cut short, his eyes falling on you as you walked by.

Connor felt sick. his body was warm at the sight of you, a flutter in his chest, his heart beating so fast he thought he was having a heart attack. the world went silent as the only thing going on in his head was you. his friends tapped on him, but he was struck.

Eros was satisfied, smiling and vanishing.

but for Connor, his punishment just began. whenever he was with his friends or alone his mind was always on you. he’d always felt sick and hot and like he was about to explode at the thought of you.

eventually, he decided to take action. he figured if he felt this way randomly, you had to feel it too, right? but he was wrong

so desperately wrong.

he hadn’t even gotten a word out in before you cut him off, walking away. he began to think why this happened. he’d never even felt this way before, then it came to his mind.

Eros. he had to have done it to him. “gods, why did he have to pick on me” he asked himself, but he realized he must’ve done it to punish him.

damnit.

however, that didn’t stop his feelings for you. he spent days conjuring up plans to finally get you to fall for him too. he didn’t care that Eros did this to him. he had to get you. he needed you.

so he planned out a whole scavenger hunt!!

he left a poem in your bed (having snuck in when the cabin was empty) and left. it was honestly a really good and romantic poem, giving you directions around camp.

you followed it, finding roses, chocolates, and more poems along your journey until you were led to a clearing in the forest. there stood connor.

and you immediately felt your blood boil.

he felt sick all over again, his heart pounding.

he noticed that slight change in your demeanor, quickly taking action. he ran close to you, grabbing your wrist slightly

“wait-! please.” he pleaded.

you stayed there, but were glaring at him. if looks could kill, he would’ve been dead the second you walked into that clearing.

“listen i- i’m so sorry. i know i was a dick and i regret it so much and you’re so pretty and just so- amazing and i just… im sorry, okay? please forgive me.” he pleaded
