You and Percy have been friends since you started college. People talk about him being so protective of you—acting almost like a protective boyfriend when even he was your friend—when becomes a boy flirting with you or you talking about another boy in front of him.

Or maybe—as his friends say—the feeling wasn't about protecting some advantages boys around your age or older than you could take with you. He was protecting his heart in some way, seeing you so close to someone else who wasn't him, made him boil his blood. But even at that, he just tried to control himself, calming down or just rolled his eyes.

You were arriving at college, with a bunch of books and a bag behind your back. That’s when Percy saw you and he walked over to help you—he knew you could do it alone, but what was the problem with a bit of help?

"Let me help with that..." He said taking your books out of your hands with his strong arms, not even asking you if he could do it, but he knew deep down that you needed it.
