Down bad + Clueless (Luke Castellan x Apollo!reader)
Warnings: Mention of blood and injuries, a few cuss words
Mainly use of “you” with a few drops of “y/n” here and there
This entire idea came about because of this post. When I saw it, it just seemed like something Luke would say if he was down bad for a healer Apollo girlie
Super short and unedited compared to what I usually write but I wanted to post it anyways. Longer Luke Castellan works will come eventually!
Luke Castellan knew that you were a daughter of Apollo, but he could’ve sworn you were sired by Aphrodite with the way he had froze the first time he looked at you when he was giving you the new camper tour. You were the most beautiful person he had ever seen. Perhaps Aphrodite herself dulled in your comparison.
Luke Castellan who is convinced you are Apollo’s favorite child because whenever he looks at you, he sees your entire being enveloped in golden sunshine Chris says he’s just insane and down bad
Annabeth and Grover think he should do more than stare at you from afar totally not because they're tired of hearing him sulk over you and how you two aren't together when he knows you guys would be perfect together
Luke Castellan was down bad for you. He admits it and everyone knew it. The only problem was that you didn't know it.
Luke would often land himself in the infirmary for dumb things just to see you. He wouldn't let anyone else help him once he got to the Big House either. It had to be you.
The second you got to camp, you didn’t even have to step foot into the Hermes cabin; getting claimed right away by your father who acknowledged your healing skills. You got yourself and 3 other campers to Half Blood Hill with minor scratches as you took care of any acquired injuries along the way. This led to Apollo personally letting Chiron know you had to get stationed at the infirmary in the Big House.
So here you are, a head healer of the Big House, running around taking care of injured and sick campers like you were some kind of child prodigy that had the highest mortal medical degree.
Normally Luke strolled in with a scratch or a bruise. You were used to it. Even the greatest swordsman Camp Half Blood has seen in over 300 years is bound to get a few injuries here and there right? Wrong
Today however, he didn't come in with a minor injury. He came in with his arm over his friend Chris, using him to help walk and keep upright. The Apollo kids that were in that day as healers all looked at each other then over to Y/n who had her back turned to them. “Please set Luke down on one of the beds and I will get right to him!” she shouted without looking back.
“Oh, so you’re crazy crazy when you get in here. She didn’t even have to turn around to know it’s you and me,” Chris whispered to Luke as he put him down on one of the infirmary beds and sat down on a chair next to him.
“My girl just knows when it’s me,” said Luke as he was dropped onto one of the infirmary beds.
“She’s not even your girl,” said Chris matter of factly.
Y/n finished up bandaging the camper she was with, wrapping up the younger girl's knee that she scraped while training. "Let's try not to do anything too crazy today while that heals. Come back tomorrow morning and we'll see how it looks tomorrow. You should be good to go back now okay?" the younger camper nodded her head, giving Y/n a hug before leaving the Big House. Y/n moved to the opposite side of the infirmary, sitting on the edge of the bed Chris had thrown Luke onto.
Y/n raised her hand, touching the back of her hand to Luke's forehead and pulling it right back, the smile on her face quickly turning into a frown. "You're hot."
Luke's eyes lit up before he answered her. "Are you flirting with me?!"
"No," said Y/n with a shake of her head. "I think you have a very bad fever." she said as she got up to get some medicine for Luke.
"You're so embarrassing," said Chris as he hid his face in his hands, "'Are you flirting with me?' ARE YOU SERIOUS RIGHT NOW LUKE?!"
"I need her so bad," said Luke as he dramatically threw himself against the infirmary bed.
"What you need is some damn flu medicine. I'll come check on you later. Don't scare that poor girl while you're in here. She's just trying to do her job and you're in here being crazy and bothering her."
"Nahhh she's excited to see me," said Luke with a cheeky grin before breaking out into a crazy coughing fit.
"You keep telling yourself that," said Chris with a disgusted look on his face. "And get that shit figured out. If it's contagious you better stay here! If that shit spreads in 11 we're never gonna know peace ever again!" Chris shouted over his shoulder as he left Luke to go take a scorching hot shower to scrub away all the germs.
