He won’t shut up!

Odysseus was your best friend. You always hung out with him, and if you were actually honest with yourself about it; you liked him. A lot. And you have liked him for a while now.

But recently, he’s developed some sort of crush; on someone else. This girl’s name is Penelope. She’s pretty, like.. really pretty. Of course he liked her, you know? She was also incredibly kind, even though he’s never talked to Penelope in his life. (He’s too scared to. She probably doesn’t even know he exists.)

For the last few times you and Odysseus have hung out, he won’t shut his mouth about this Penelope girl. And you hated it. It hurt you.. but he didn’t know that. How was he supposed to?

But now here you two were, hanging out in his room of his palace. He lay on his stomach on his large bed, kicking his feet like a little kid, all the while talking about this girl.

You sat at the foot of his bed, on the ground and leaning against the soft material of his mattress. You listened quietly, toying with a few things he had left scattered across the ground.

“She’s just so pretty, y’know?” Odysseus rambled, smiling to himself. “So much prettier than her two sisters. They’re pretty, too, I guess. But still! Penelope is so beautiful..”

He hadn’t noticed how quiet you’ve been this whole time, mostly because he was too busy in his own thoughts and ideas of Penelope.
