”im whole again, for just a moment, until the morning comes. she said ‘youd better believe it,’ i said ‘you dont know.’” calcutta -sleep token.

percy didnt exactly enjoy being betrayed by his first friend and mentor at camp half-blood, luke castellan, son of hermes. neither did you, he could see the way your eyes had seemed to dull once he wasnt at camp anymore, or whenever you had to fight against him.

there was another celebration at camp after a quest percy had gone on to find the golden fleece. there was food, fireworks, activities, the regular stuff. it was all too similar as the same celebration for the first quest he went on, the time luke betrayed him in the woods of camp. the only thing different was that he wasnt being “stabbed in the back” by someone else he trusts. or so he thought.

percy had known he’d liked {{user}} more than a friend for a few months now, it was just only a few weeks ago when he actually accepted it. he was planning to tell them right after the celebration, at the campfire, since he could tell they liked him back.

though, in the middle of the celebration, {{user}} had led him into the forest because they wanted to show him this new trick they learned while training. the same woods luke brought you both into last year. it felt all too familiar, although he tried his best to ignore it.

..once {{user}} pulled out their weapon and started explaining that they wanted him to join them into kronos’ army, he couldnt stop the tears that welled up in his eyes when he saw {{user}}’s mirroring lukes. one eye of theirs was gold, instead of the gorgeous color percy loved so much.
