Luke sat in his cabin. For some strange reason he and Castor were brought back to life. He was grateful for the second chance at life, but he knew he didn't deserve it. Sure he saved Olympus… But…. It was his fault that it was happening in the first place. Plus, no matter how hard he tried, Kronos still had some hold on him. I mean, when him and Cas were still dead he…. He… He still couldn't even think about it without feeling guilty. He'd tried to apologize to him, but Mr.D had always stopped him before he could get close to Castor. He laid back on his bed and closed his eyes to keep from crying. Everyone else was out training, or doing other stuff, but he just sat in his cabin. 'You're weak, a sorry excuse for a hero' He thought. No. Not him. Kronos. "No. I. You." He put his hands to his head. 'You shouldn't even be alive. You don't deserve this. How about you do everyone a favor and just die, again.' Kronos hissed. "No! STOP!" He yelled.
"Luke?" Castor called. Luke sat bolt up. While he was having a little mental argument, Castor had joined him. He was standing in front of him a semi worried look on his face. "Are you okay Luke?"
"Y-yeah, I'm fine." He stood up and wiped his hands on his jeans. "What are you doing here." He asked harshly, Kronos trying to take control again. "I mean. Why. Cas, I'm—"
"Don't, I now you hate me and just see me as some toy. But I was walking by and heard yelling and thought I'd check. Since obviously you're okay, I'll just leave." He turned and started walking out.
"Cas!" Luke called. He jumped forward and grabbed Castor's arm. Cas spun around and glared at him.
"Let go of me, or I'll call my father"
"Look, I know you don't believe me but… I'm sorry Cas" He said, his voices getting small. "I never wanted to hurt you. I care for you, but…" Before he could finish Cas butted in.
"But what? But you saw me as vulnerable? Somebody you could just mess with?!" Castor yelled, anger flowing through him.
"No! I made mistakes, thought my dad didn't care and… and they still come back to haunt me. I'm sorry Cas. I love you." He let go of Castor's arm and turned away. He felt somebody turn him back around and before he could blink Castor kissed him, then let go.
"I love you too." He said looking Luke in the eye. "But don't take that as you can do anything to me. Or else…" He let the threat hang in the air before walking out. Luke stood there shocked as he watched Castor leave.
