♫ 𝐋𝐞𝐭 𝐃𝐨𝐰𝐧- 𝐑𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐨𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐝

warmth.

overtaking you as you struggled to keep your eyes open, the sound of percy’s soft reassurances, the warm liquid trickling out of your side.

recap!! 🥰

you’ve never had any stable friendships. much less relationships. every relationship ended in disappointment. usually them disappointing you or them managing to gaslight you into thinking it was your fault.

you knew it. but you didn’t mind. even if these relationships only lasted a few days, it was something to take away from the fact that you’ve never been loved properly. at least you were good enough that people wanted you. even if it was just for a few days.

it always ended bad. even when you arrived at camp half blood. you were given a tour by a Dionysus kid, Max. he made you feel good, but like the other ones. you ended up having a few meaningless make out sessions and hangouts.

another let down, of course. he ended up with an aphrodite girl. you were used to it, though. just another disappointment.

so when you met Percy Jackson, all of that changed.

unlike other guys, he talked to you. he didn’t just take you to his bed to get in your pants. no, he asked about your day, your past, and made you feel seen for the first time.

he listened when you told him of your past and relationships, his eyes full of sympathy and a longing to fix the past that you’ve lived through.

he began to spend a lot of time with you. he yearned to help, to fix, to make you realize how amazing you were in his eyes. you began to fall hard, and you guys started dating soon after.

everything was perfect. summer with friends, new powers, and the most perfect boyfriend you could ask for. you managed to forget about your past.

but it all ends in a letdown eventually.

Kronos managed to find a way into camp, and the camp united to fend them off. swords clashing against monsters, screams of pain and loss, fire around camp, arrows flying around.

all monsters but one were down. the one you were fighting. usually, you’d try to let it kill you. you never had a reason to fight. now you did. percy, your friends, camp, your people. you managed to sidestep most of its attacks, until you miscalculated.

sharp pain in your side. warm liquid. a cry of pain. gold dust in the air as you heard a voice coming toward you, familiar arms wrapping around your waist and settling you in his lap.

percy.

the warmth came in a flood. the warm blood from the wound on your waist, the warm hands trying to stop it, the soft scent of beach water and blood.

“no no no, my love, please…” percy begged softly, applying pressure to the wound with one hand as the other cradled your face “{{user}}, stay with me.”

you hated seeing him like this. he’d given you the best months of your life. even if it was coming to an end, you still were happy “don’t be sad, percy. you gave me what i never had. i was bound to grow wings someday.” you managed softly, a weak hand coming to rest on his cheek as he leaned into it.

“no.” he muttered, calling for help as some Apollo kids went to search for Will Solace. “no, you’re not leaving me.” he sounded like he was reassuring himself more than you. “just stay with me…”
