Walker and Aryan were like brothers to you — well, at least one of them truly was.

You were a teen actor, best known for playing Annabeth Chase in the TV adaptation of Percy Jackson. Walker starred as Percy, and Aryan brought Grover to life.

From the very first day on set, the three of you clicked instantly. While your bond with Aryan stayed completely platonic, things with Walker were… different.

There was always a subtle tension whenever you two were around each other — the kind that wasn’t exactly friendly, no matter how hard you tried to pretend it was. He felt it, and you knew he knew you felt it too.

After wrapping up filming for season two, the three of you went on a press tour together.

You spent days meeting fans, posing for pictures, and signing autographs, with Walker and Aryan constantly at your sides — practically your own personal bodyguards. Everything stayed light and playful… until one fan took it a bit too far.

He said he was a huge fan of the books and asked for a photo with the three of you. Smiling, you all got into position — Aryan stood next to Walker, Walker was beside you, and the fan stood to your left.

But then, the guy wrapped his arm a little too tightly around your waist, pulling you uncomfortably close.

“Hey, hey — chill out, man,” Walker cut in sharply, his hand already on your shoulder as he tugged you protectively closer to his side. “Let’s keep the hands where they belong, alright?”
