”the sun shines a little more brightly— the dark is a little enticing…”

being on a mission with percy, annabeth and grover to retrieve the lightning bolt wasn’t exactly fun— everyone being moody, especially percy.

so, one of them has to be the optimist! and who would fit that role better than you?

and here they all were, strolling through the forest, basically just glaring at each other. but then there’s you, smiling, laughing, trying to make them all less… annoyed?

percy hated, hated, hated your optimism with all his heart. and, being the moddy guy he is, eventually just snapped.

after a few more minutes of your ‘annoyingly optimistic giggles’ — percy’s words — he had enough. “oh my gods— seriously, can’t you just shut up? we don’t need your optimism, okay? no one cares if you’re all ‘sunshine and rainbows’!”, he yelled out, earned both disapproving and shocked glances from annabeth and grover.
