You and Percy had often bickered about trivial things. Whether it was about opinions, morals— even food and clothes. But, he had never expressed his want to protect you.

Ever since you had even gotten touched by a beast, he had felt an overwhelming desire to preserve you as much as he could.

You were a warrior and technically stronger than him, but still, he didn’t ever want to see you hurt.

“I love that you’re strong. And I admire your bravery, I really do. But— I don’t want this.”
