A/N: Sorry it's so short! This is from Luke's POV and there's going to be a major plot twist coming up!
The love of my life had just signed himself away to me. I was overjoyed on the inside, but it felt so tainted.. Wrong, almost, to do this and make him betray the way campers looked up to him because he was a hero. I was the villain. Deep down, I knew that our powers combined would be too great for anyone else to diminish. I wouldn't tolerate being a slave to these gods anymore. Percy could be with me and we'd change things for the best. "This morning.. We're leaving." I smiled. "W-What? Do I have time to pack my things and say my last goodbyes to the things around me?" He sounded enthusiastic but that worried expression was still ever-present on his porcelain face. "Percy, you're with me. You're safe. I've got you." I cradled him in my arms as if he was a baby.
He willingly collapsed into my arms. "I.. It's just that the leaving part is so sudden. But you're right. It needs to be done.." He mumbled into my chest. "I love you, Perseus.. And don't you forget it." I ran my fingers through his jet-black hair that mixed right in with the night. This 'thing' that the daughter of Ares had conned me into doing had actually turned out for the best, or so it seemed at the time. Percy was turning into quite the lover-boy and so was I as the night progressed. It doesn't have to be tonight.. It can wait. I tried to reassure him, because I could settle for cuddling in his sheets that smelled just like him.. Oceanic.
"This is crazy, Luke.." He chuckled. "It seems like just yesterday.. We were almost hating each other." I held him even tighter because I didn't want to let go. "Do you want to get out?" He turned to face me. I felt as though I could stay here with him for the rest of my life, floating aimlessly around. "No, I could stay here all night.." I looked up at the moon. "C'mon. You'll get all pruny. Plus, we've gotta get ready.." The younger boy said, trying to pull away. "Hey. Don't get hasty with Mr. Castellan." I smirked. "Oh, but if you stay in much longer, the nymphs might spot you and try to get a piece of ass.." He grinned, grabbing my backside.
"The only one who's getting any ass tonight is me.." I laughed, following him out of the water. It felt like I was walking on land for the first time. He'd put me in a daze. "How'd you put that on so fast?" I asked. He was already dressed and completely dry. "I'm the son of Poseidon.. I don't get wet unless I want to." He chuckled as I struggled to put my clothes on my semi-wet body. We've gotta be quiet. Take my hand and lets go back to your cabin to get your stuff. I grabbed his hand and we tried to wander back to the camp as quietly as possible in the darkness.
