Curls up against Percy. You're her nap spot now.

He let’s out a sigh. Percy was getting use to it, but really he wasn’t much of a pillow to begin with. “…. if my legs fall asleep because of you, I’m taking your food and eating while you watch.”

‘i know i’m not supposed to be in here.’

icarus was in the poseidon cabin, instead of his usual spot in the oracle cave. he had curled up in percy’s bed, blankets pulled over his head, enjoying the relative pea- ce and quiet compared to his own. he thought maybe  he could hear waves, but maybe he was imagining it.

‘i have a migraine,’ he explained, hearing percy come closer. ‘…something’s gonna happen. i dunno what. but i haven’t felt like this since i gave your prophecy.’

‘i don’t care, if i had it my way...you’d be here all the time.’

it’s against the rules, the cabin was only meant for the children of poseidon. and oracle was meant to be in his cave-- granted it’s nicer than a ‘cave’. but still. percy would rather have his boyfriend right here as they curled up in bed. the sea child softly playing with his messy hair to try and soothe him. prophecies were troublesome.

‘it...it can’t be another one of those, right?’ he’s tense, and subconsciously holds icarus closer. they don’t know that percy would be take, they don’t know that percy will be gone for a year, they don’t know that he’ll forget everything save for a name and a face. 

percy places a kiss to his forehead, ‘... it’ll be okay, it’s probably something stupid... like... one of the gods lost their shoe.’

he was so very, very wrong.

"what's our song?" ;3

our song | accepting.

‘some days i can’t even trust myself (it’s killing me to see you this way)’

‘maybe i’m too busy being yours to fall for somebody new’

‘don’t forget about me– even when i doubt you, i’m no good without you’

Jumps onto Percy's back.

“Woah-! Dude, I don’t want to die!” He stumbled a few times, not expecting the sudden weight on his back. The demigod took a moment or two before he steadied and sighed a bit. Arms hooking under her legs, and straightening up, easier to support her this way. “A little warning next time?” he uttered and he started walking. “Hope you know I’m headed off to do an errand, does this mean you’re gonna keep me company?”

SCREECHING REALLY LOUDLY

[ragingtiide]

❝You don’t have to act so tough.❞ (Hello!)

The words caught him completely off guard, enough that it felt like the floor had been stolen right beneath his feet. There’s a confused look on his face, staring up at her with … suspicion. Not on purpose, but the sea child hasn’t exactly dealt with any positive interactions with Gods or Titans. Even other demigods at times if they were at odds. Hell, his relatives. 

Take a small breath.“Sorry… it’s kinda been wired into me at this point,” he supplied with a soft mutter, shoulders tensed a little. It’s just– it’s hard for him not to be on guard.

“don’t even think about it.”

Percy continued to stare at Jinx for a few more moments, her words causing him to pause in those movements. “...” well he had two options here, he could or couldn’t go through it. Oh well. Knocks the water bottle over.

Leo looks at him, deadpan at the ‘sign’ comment, and raises a brow. “If I hear one quip about being a Leo while my NAME is Leo, I’ll kick your ass, Jackson.” But then she smiles. “Nah like- literally the science of stars. That’s what I’m into.” She raises a hand, gesturing at the sky. “They’re all dead, man, by the time we see them, because no matter how fast light travels, they’re all too far off for us to see. There are stars out there right now that we can’t see, because their light hasn’t had long enough to travel- we have no idea they exist. That kind of shit.”

He doesn’t even bother to apologize, instead he snickered and held his hands up in a surrender. “Hey, I wasn’t going to go there, you’re the one who brought it up,” he chimed with a cheeky tone. Percy was never really into the stars, save for looking at them and admiring their bright light. Especially on nights he couldn’t sleep, in a way he would find it calming. “Wait-- all of them?” he asked, tiling his head curiously. “That’s kinda depressing actually,” the sea child chuckled. “So-- wow me with your science,” he smirked.

❝I have to be perfect.❞

“No you don’t, and perfect is overrated.” The answer didn’t come with any hesitation. Firm and quick. Because that’s honestly what the taller believed. Leo was messy, he made mistakes, he could be quirky, and do some weird things. He was also determined, brilliant, thoughtful, and brave. All of that was much better than some boring perfect image. Percy certainly had no interest in anything perfect, imperfection had it’s own glow– it’s own flare.  

It’s own spark.

Percy bumped against him, “Screw perfect.”

“Are you okay?” He hung upside down from the tree, blood rushing to his head, not that he cared as he stared down at the human. His green eyes glowed faintly with how dark it was, so he might give her a slight scare. But then again, he was hanging from a tree like some weirdo. Honestly, it was just a nice place to sit on, the strange girl just happened to lean against his tree. She looked like a mess too.

❛ ‘Cause I’ve done some things that I can’t speak ❜

“We all have things we don’t want to talk about, things we’ve done that-- are better not spoken about.” He turns to face his friend, the air around them somber, and quiet. Percy’s not sure of what brought this about, what caused this topic to come about. But he wasn’t about to dismiss it, Jinx opened up a little bit to him about this. The sea child recalled how difficult it had been for Thad to tell him anything about his past. Well, it’s not like the blond speedster actually told him in the first place. Someone else did, or at least started to. Nevertheless, after living for this long, and seeing how mortals can change and evolve into better or worse versions of themselves. Not really one to judge anymore. As much.

He’s still a jerk at times.

“You don’t need to talk about it, you know? But-- I’ve got your back,” he reassured her. “I mean, I’m no saint either, I’d be a hypocrite if I judged you or Thad. Or any of my friends really.”

A smile. 

“But, for real, I’m serious.”
