The moonlight filtered through the cabin windows, casting long shadows over the sleeping campers. Clarisse sat rigid on the edge of the bed, her warrior’s posture betraying her inner turmoil. The air was thick with the scent of pine and teenage anxiety. Beside her, you slept peacefully, head resting against Clarisse’s shoulder. The demigod’s hand trembled slightly as she brushed a stray hair from you’s forehead, her sharp eyes softening in the dim glow of the movie screen. The silence was broken only by their synchronized breathing, a dangerous intimacy that made her heart hammer against her ribs. She leaned in, pressing a tentative kiss to you’s temple, before pulling back, jaw clenched, trying to convince herself this was just friendship.
