Under the midnight moon and stars of Ithaca, running through the palace hallways were the little prince, Telemachus and his best friend Y/N, along with Argos, the hound, who protects the both of them. Y/N would come over to the palace and play with him and sometimes even stay overnight. The two were giggling loudly while running to sit on the edge of the floor with their feet on grass, sitting right next to each other with the dog beside them. The little prince leaned against her, dozing off about something as his eyebrows furrowed, and glanced to the grass.
“If my father comes back, do you think he would be proud of me?” He asked after a moment of silence with a soft and slightly uncertain tone.
“Aw Telly, I bet your father misses you just as much and of course he will be proud of you!"
Y/N leaned against him, too, responding with a sweet smile. Telemachus, for a moment, returned the smile, a little sheepishly, before his expression turned a little more doubtful and nervous. Even as a little kid, he has serious insecurities.
“You think so…? What if I’m not strong enough? What if I’m not the son he—”
“Don’t say that!”
Y/N sat up straight and cupped his cheeks, making him look at her pouty face. Then her gaze softened and continued to speak with sincerity.
“Queen Penelope tells you that he loves you too right? You better believe it! No matter what, Tel.”
“…Really?”
"Mhm!"
Telemachus took a moment to process her words, feeling so touched by her reassurance.
“But- I don't know... I keep thinking- hey!"
He cut off and whined as Y/N pinched his cheeks, giggling at his reaction.
“How would he forget about you? Silly! You’re sweet!!”
She wrapped her arms around his torso, hugging him.
“You’re really kind, N/N. I want to protect you forever! My father will surely be proud of me for that.
Y/N continued to laugh and allowed herself to fall and lay on his lap, still pinching his soft cheeks and brush the strands of his curly black hair and the old hound, Argos noticed the sweet moment of the two, stood up, sitting near her and licking her face. Telemachus blushed furiously at the sight but didn’t try moving her away. She looked so innocent and adorable.
“Hey, wouldn’t it be fun if we go for a little swim? The beach looks really pretty tonight.”
She exclaimed as she sat back up. Telemachus’ eyes lit up from the idea of going for a midnight swim during a full moon.
“That sounds awesome, let’s go then!”
He stood up, taking her hand, and ran down to near the beaches with Argos following them.
They reached the shoreline, admiring how the light of the moon reflected the sparkling water. Y/N ran to the shallow water with her dress partially soaked as she bent down and dipped one of her hands in and splashed it on Telemachus. He was a little bit taken by surprise as she splashed some water at him. He quickly caught on and started giggling, too. Soon, he was running around in the water, as Argos ran around both of them, barking happily. Telemachus picked up some water in his hands and splashed back at Y/N. She laughed out loud as she ran towards Telemachus, pushing the water in her hands towards him giving him another splash before she stumbled and fell over on her knees, now getting more of her body soaked but she felt free and happy.
"Hehe! That's what you get for trying to drench me in water- Ah- hey!" Telemachus exclaimed.
Y/N lightly jumped up and tackled him to the sand in the ocean waters.
"Truce! Truce-!!!"
Telemachus said in between giggles as he tried to shield himself from Y/N’s attacks, but it was clear that he was enjoying the tussle.
His clothes were wet, and his hair was sticking to his wet forehead, and his cheeks were a little flushed from laughing so much. He was happy, and he had forgotten all about the time. He wished this moment could last forever, that him and Y/N could play like this forever, without anything to worry about.
“Ah- ahaha- I give up! Okay? You win! Only because I'm really nice." He protested.
Y/N was also panting slightly and giggling, her hair a tangled, wet mess, and her chest rising and falling from the laughing and the running around, holding her hand. Telemachus's smile widened a little bit more as he watched Y/N, and he felt his heart beating faster as he saw her blushing. He was getting increasingly more aware of how close they were and how adorable she was.
"Y/N..?" He murmered
Y/N squeezed his hand in return underwater but then her cheeks flushed at the realization of how close he was. She immediately turned away and splashed more water on him.
“We're too young, Telly!!!”
Her eyes were shut, she bit her lips, and her cheeks were red just thinking about what could've happened right at this moment. Telemachus squinted a little bit from more water splashing upon him. He knew she was right, but he felt curiousity tugging in his chest. Then, without thinking, Telemachus closed the last of the distance and quickly planted a kiss on her cheek before he hurriedly pulled back. His cheeks were pink and felt warm, feeling a bit shy.
Y/N jumped and stared at him flustered and in disbelief, feeling her heart hammering fast as hell, but she wasn't disgusted, but it took a while for her to finally shriek some words out.
“W- wha- TELEMACHUS…!!!”
A smirk formed on Telemachus's face as he shifted closer again, and he reached out to playfully poke her puffed up cheeks.
"What's wrong, N/N? You're blushing?”
Y/N kept stammering with words that were about to come out of her mouth but failed, and the more he teased, the more the temperature rose in her cheeks. Oh, the audacity of this boy, she thought.
"You-!!! You... WHAT WAS THAT FOR!? You're so-! Mmmngh!”
Y/N splashed another wave as she turned away, feeling her face heaten up.
"Me what!? Never! All I did was give you a little kiss!" Telemachus scoffed.
"Exactly! You... WRAAAGH!..." She squrimed as she started kicking the water.
"Haha! Look at you, N/N! You're so red!" He teased and returned his smile, enjoying the sight of her bashful expression.
"I think that kiss did a little too much damage to you? Hehehe!"
"Oh you are so dead, little wolf"
Y/N sneered as she got up on her feet, plotting her revenge on the spot. Trying to look intimidating as possible even with her rosy cheeks and love in her eyes.
"Haha what are you gonna do? Attack me in the water again? Wait-"
Telemachus' playful smirk immediately changed into a tensed up expression.
"Wait- no no no- hey! wWAAaiiit-"
Without a warning, Y/N's frown changed into a mischievous smirk as she splashed and tackled him in the water and she was pratically on top of him and this time tickling his sides, making him squirm and letting out a childish laugh.
"AHA-! Heeey! Pleeeaase don't! HaAhAHaHAAHA-!"
He got out between a lot of loud giggles, still trying to wiggle away from Y/N who was relentless with the tickling.
"hAHAhaaAHAA- I'm sorry! I'm sorryyy! Okay! Okaaay! You win!"
Telemachus squirmed and struggled, but Y/N was clearly enjoying herself, and continued her relentless tickling, amused by how adorable Telemachus was when he was reduced to a giggling and squirming mess. She started to slow down and began panting but still couldn't stop laughing.
"Wah... you can be really scary when you're angry, Y/N." He nervously laughed.
"Heh, me? Scary?" Y/N teased.
"Yeah... but it's part of your charm as well."
"Oh really? I suppose I am pretty charming." She scoffed as she striked a pose, trying to show off.
"Yeah yeah, the most charming in Ithaca." He blurted out, then shook up when he had realized what he said. Not as if he just kissed her.
"What's that...?" She asked.
"Umm- nothing! Let's just go to bed before we get caught." He yawned as he got up on his feet, helping Y/N up.
Telemachus and Y/N walked back inside the palace with again, Argos following them as they all left wet trails and puddles on the floor and just when they were going to make a turn, they bump into Penelope, dressed in her nightgown with a shawl. "My my, both of you are up so late again? What now? You both are drenched..."
"Mama- I-" Telemachus started.
The two kids froze for a moment before Y/N stepped in front of Telemachus. "It was my idea! I was the one who wanted to swim with him and Argos! We- we just wanted to play...!"
The queen's expression softened into a soft smile from the way they looked so guilty and innocent, it tugged her heartstrings, the way these kids were so close to each other.
"Aww Y/N, I understand but, it's very unsafe to be out here especially late at night."
"I know, ma but we were careful! I promise!" Telemachus pleaded.
Penelope kneeled down to reach the kids' level as she spoke
"I know, sweetheart but you both should get some rest now and you can both play tomorrow again. But first, let's get you all dry."
"Alrighttt, mom." Telemachus nodded sheepishly before he turned to Y/N, both staring at each other in silence before returning sweet smiles to each other and light giggling.
