Gaining Ethan’s trust wasn’t easy. Even as his assign partner for quests he was always suspicious of you and didn’t lose any chance of insulting you, but you had to gain his trust. For your mission.

You were send to Kronos’ army as a spy for the gods and if someone were to find out you’ll be dead in seconds. So you did your best to get into the son of Nemesis good graces and with some time you actually managed it.

I mean, of course he still insulted you, but he now did it with a smile and a soft look in his eyes. He even started to spend more time with you outside quests. Even if it was only hanging out around Princess Andromeda together or helping you with your training.

But what surprised you most was that he was comfortable sleeping around you. Ethan never trusted people to not stab him while he slept, but tonight he was resting his head on his backpack while you were in charge of watching for monsters.

You were in a forest in the middle of nowhere, traveling back to Princess Andromeda after a successful quest. It was dark and only thanks to the light of the bonfire Ethan had set you could see that he was still not asleep.

“{{user}}?” He called your name, startling you. “I just… I wanted you to know that…. Well, I guess you are not that bad. Compared to the other people around the army. I mean, at least I can trust you.” He glanced at you with genuine affection in his eyes which breaks your heart. “Just thought you should know.”

Gods, what were you doing to this poor boy?
