there are no kings here

perseus darling 16 single “there could not have been a lovelier sight; but there was none to see it except a little boy who was staring in at the window. he had ecstasies innumerable that other children can never know; but he was looking through the window at the one joy from which he must be for ever barred.”

Aurelia: I'm sorry.

Percy: You damn well should be

Percy: Had me scared to death, Aur

Percy: But it's okay

Percy: Just... never again, got it? Promise me

Didn’t they start dating because of a video game? Because she kept distracting him, or something like that?

Monopoly was a bad idea on its own, but playing it with Aurelia was the worst decision we have ever made.

[lilyfabrayberry]

They did, actually. She kept cheating, they started kinkshaming, and voila! You have a ship!

Never again. To either of those things.

[percydarling-blog]

She was literally just watching him play! But I admit, they did turn out to be pretty damn cute.

You and I are going to have to play it some day. Just the two of us.

[percydarling-blog]

Which is ironic considering they’re the nice ones.

[lilyfabrayberry]

So they like to think. They turn into monsters when it comes to video games. I honestly fear for my life every time we play a game against them that isn’t a physical sport. And I think we can all agree to never play another board game with Aurelia ever again.

This is so unfair.

[lilyfabrayberry]

If it makes you feel better, I’ll let everyone else know not to get us arrested, either. Tabs and Duke do have a knack for getting us yelled at when we go to the arcade.

——— That was Wendy’s fault!

[lilyfabrayberry]

I know, Darling.

But I somehow doubt my moms or the police care.

[percydarling-blog]

This is so unfair.

[percydarling-blog]

lilyfabrayberry:

Let’s.

By the way, my mom asks that you not get us all arrested this time.

--------- That was Wendy’s fault!

[percydarling-blog]

lilyfabrayberry:

Then we won’t be able to leave.

…Okay, now I’m ready to leave.

...Okay, let’s go.

[percydarling-blog]

lilyfabrayberry:

You’re the best.

But you really have to stop kissing me, and move your hands, Percy, we have people to beat, and wishes to grant!

...And if I don’t stop kissing you?

[percydarling-blog]

lilyfabrayberry:

It’s why you love me so much.

But, on a serious note, make sure to come in second place, okay? I just know those losers are going to steal our title as the champion couple, and that just can’t happen.

Mm, you’re not wrong.

Don’t worry, babe, they’ll never get our crowns.

[percydarling-blog]

lilyfabrayberry:

You’re wrong. It’s not that I don’t believe you can. I know you can. It’s just that I’m not going to let you.

Deal with it.

It’s a good thing you’re cute.

[percydarling-blog]

lilyfabrayberry:

You say it like it’s news. And, no, you’re not.

I only have two objectives tonight: make Sapphire believe in hope, and burn everyone else’s hopes of winning to the ground. I can’t do that if you win, Perce, sorry.

See, you honestly do not believe that I can beat you and that hurts me.

[percydarling-blog]

lilyfabrayberry:

That’s the plan, babe.

If you can’t take your eyes off me, you can’t beat me.

You dirty little cheat.

I’m going to win this.

[percydarling-blog]

---------- You sure you’re going to want to bowl in that? I’m not going to be able to take my eyes off of you.

Percy: H E B U M P E D Y O U

Percy: You could have dropped your books, or twisted your ankle. Then where would you be?

Percy: I'll tell you where: in the nurses office with a swollen ankle and messy, unorganized notes

Percy: And do you know what unorganized notes lead to?

Percy: Unorganized work ethic

Percy: Which leads to bad grades, which lead to dropping out, which leads to drugs

Percy: And the next thing I know, I'm visiting your very lovely box on the side of the interstate, trying to convince you to get a job and /contribute to society/

Percy: So give me a name

Duke: The worst thing that happened was my shoulder hitting the locker

Duke: And he apologized seventy five thousand times for that

Duke: He even bought me coffee and a sandwich for lunch

Duke: (I mean, my notes were unorganized but Tabs helped me fix them, so my work ethic is fine, thank you)

Duke: There was no nurse's office

Duke: No drugs

Duke: No box on the side of the interstate

Duke: please chill

Duke: and come pick me up so we can go bowling

Percy: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Percy: LILIAN HE IS NOT GIVING ME NAMES

Percy: You were contaminated by a first year?

Percy: I absolutely /should have/ appeared out of no where to smite him

Percy: How dare he touch /my man/

Percy: I want names

Duke: My point, exactly

Duke: I'm not telling you shit, leave him alone

Duke: He's actually a sweet kid when he's not worrying about you coming out of the shadows

Percy: H E B U M P E D Y O U

Lily: She will. She's just like us. Except kinder.

Lily: Also, I told her to invite some people. Idk who she's inviting, but same rules go for them. Be nice, and make this fun for them.

Wendy: If any of you step out of line, I will not hesitate to punch you

Aurelia: AFTER we all leave.

Aurelia: No punching each other in front of the new people.

Aurelia: This is why people are scared of us, gosh

Percy: Aurelia, you're approximately seven pounds of absolute fluff, nobody is scared of you

Duke: You're not wrong

Duke: But I think by 'us' she means the group as a whole

Duke: And by a group as a whole, she means you, Lily, and Wendy

Duke: People are scared of the rest of us, simply because we associate with you

Duke: I literally made a freshman cry the other day because he bumped into me, and he thought you would appear from nowhere and smite him or something

Duke: I'm getting off track

Percy: You were contaminated by a first year?

Percy: I absolutely /should have/ appeared out of no where to smite him

Percy: How dare he touch /my man/

Percy: I want names
