PJO & HoO Drabbles

She loved him. He hated her. The world collapsed. The day was saved. She died for the one she loved. He fought for the one he lost. They sang, they lived, they fought, and they died. Words can't capture the entirety of a moment, the emotions and reality that floods our every waking moment, but we'll be damned if we don't try.

13. His stupid, stupid, gorgeous eyes

His stupid, stupid, gorgeous eyes

The new Hades cabin had a lot of green for some reason. Maybe Annabeth thought it should have some color besides black. Maybe because Hades had many emeralds in his palace. Whatever the reason, he didn't like it. He hated it. It was midnight when he broke. With an angry scream, he ripped the green curtains from the windows, toppled over the green decor, shattered a small green lamp. Anything green..., he destroyed. He had tears streaming down his face as he kept ripping the curtain to smithereens. He hated green! He hated it! It reminded him of his eyes. His stupid, stupid, gorgeous eyes. He yelled again as he stomped on the lamp, taking whatever satisfaction he could from the sounds of something breaking other than himself. He sobbed, crashing into the wall and sliding down until he was curled into a ball, crying. If this is what love feels like, he wants Aphrodite to take it back. He hated himself. He hated him. He hated his eyes. His stupid, stupid, gorgeous eyes.
