Luke Castellan, golden boy of camp half-blood and an amazing swordsman, is anyone and everyone’s first choice as a partner. He’s funny, kind, smart, pretty, something everyone wants.

So why would he pick them?

That’s exactly the kind of question the demigod asked themselves, especially in times like this.

He was on his knees, a gold-skinned eager baby, with a fresh blue shirt out the laundry on (that would probably be dirty after this). They sat on his bunk, in Hermes cabin, which was, surprisingly, empty.

“I hope you know, I’m only gentle when i want to be,” he muttered, his hands on their thighs as he looked up at them. Surely that meant he wanted to be gentle with them, right?
