▍ ; Ballroom, Ithaca. (Pretend it existed.. ok?)

boy, he’s got you helpless.

odysseus has landed on sparta, all the way from ithaca a few weeks ago - you had been trying to get his attention, you weren't sure if it ever worked, but you were smitten is all you know. He was about the same age as you, 17.

normally you were never one to try and grab the spotlight — since you were at a revel with some rebels on a hot night, laughing at your cousin, helen as shes dazzling in the room, then HE walked in, and your heart went boom.

You tried to catch his his eye from the side of the ballroom, despite everybody's dancing and the band's top volume, grinding to the rhythm as they wine and dine, so you grabbed Helen and whispered, “Yo, this one’s mine.”

Helen made her way across to odysseus, you got nervous, thinking what shes gonna do? she grabbed him by his arm, and you thought : "I'm through." Then, suddenly he looked back at you, and suddenly, your helpless.

Look at those eyes..

You saw Helen walking with odysseus, you heard their conversation. "Where are you taking me?" Odysseus asked, "I'm about to change your life." Helen answered. "Then by all means, lead the way." he said.

as you came in and introduced yourself. "Of Sparta?" He said curiosity. "My cousin," Helen explained. “Thank you for all your service,” you said, thanking him. “if it takes fighting a war for us to meet, it will of been worth it.” he said, as he grabbed your hand and kissed it softly. your heart fluttered at the sight, as Helen smiled. “i’ll leave you to it.” she said, as she left you guys alone.
