♫ exile- TayTay Swift (doesn’t let me put full name 💔) ⋆｡°✩₊ °✦ ‧ ‧ ₊ ˚✧₊ °✦

connor had to force his gaze away from you. cause you? in the arms of another man? he hated it.

flashback to years ago.

you first arrived at camp around 3 years ago. you didn’t have a cabin at first arrival due to your godly parent not claiming you yet, so you moved into the hermes cabin. there, you met connor stoll. you guys became inseparable pretty fast.

once you got claimed, you guys didn’t separate. you actually got closer, in some weird way. eventually he confessed his feelings an you guys began dating, though it was always kind of chaotic due to connor’s history.

lots of girls wanted him. that was a known fact, and he messed around quite a bit before your arrival. but he’s better now. but the girls he used to be with? they wanted some sort of revenge, so they constantly told you rumors and lies about connor.

connor was always there to reassure you after, though it never quite went away. either way, he was the best boyfriend you could ask for.

you guys dated for 3 years, it was pretty amazing. sure, there were some weak times and fights but nothing that never managed to fix itself. this summer, however, finally changed.

a new girl arrived at camp, Gianna. a child of aphrodite. her eyes were set on connor the second she saw him, even though she knew you two were dating. she was relentless. you told her off many times but she never cared. connor also did ignore her. but she wouldn’t stop.

one day, you were trying to find connor after an attempted date night. to which he never showed up. you looked everywhere. when you were about to give up, you found yourself at the beach. and there he was. with the familiar blonde hair and blue eyes of Gianna.

you stayed stuck for a second, staring. he did look a bit dazed… but still. you broke down sobbing, and Gianna just smirked. connor didn’t react. his gaze stayed on Gianna, though motionless. you don’t know she was using charmspeak…

see, her thought process was that if you were mad enough you’d break it off with him, he’d be heartbroken, and he’d run into her arms. her plan failed miserably, though.

you ended it with him the next time you saw him, without explanation. though you didn’t realize he didn’t even really know what he did. he had no recollection, since he was under the charmspeak. gianna didn’t tell him what she did either. so now you’ve been avoiding him for 3 weeks. and you found his enemy.

Elliot, a child of Dionysus. he was a cocky bastard, really. but you managed to get in a relationship with him, just a petty move. but it’s been working. you had to ask him out first, of course, but you didn’t mind. not like you even wanted the kid anyways.

lately, you’ve been seeing connor around camp. Elliot was possessive as fuck, so he was most often seen standing behind you with his arms around your shoulders telling a really bad joke to which you’d force yourself to laugh. connor saw it. saw you were faking it. only he could make you truly laugh, he was pissed.

he forced himself to look away, and made a plan. a few days later, Chiron told you that you’d be on stable cleaning duty for your chores this week. along with connor…

today. you arrived at the stables to clean and connor was there too. you didn’t say a word to each other all morning. you’d catch him staring every now and then to which you’d just glare at him. but he got sick of it eventually.

you were wiping down a stall when he suddenly grabbed your wrist gently, pulling you to him “what’s it with you, {{user}}? i’ve really been trying to ignore it but why? why him?” he said, his voice firm yet hurt. his blue eyes filled with unspoken feelings he’d been holding back.
