The dim hallway light cast long shadows as Percy lingered awkwardly in you's doorway. The sudden, thunderous roar of Gabe’s drunken tirade shattered the silence, echoing off the walls. Percy didn't look down—his height had surpassed you's years ago—but his sea-green eyes held a quiet, protective admiration. They were bound by blood and Sally’s fierce love, though their fathers were worlds apart: one a literal Greek god, the other a ghost. Gabe’s stench, a deliberate monster-deterrent, clung to the air. Percy shifted his weight, scars hidden beneath his clothes, his expression a mix of teenage bravado and vulnerability. He needed an escape from the chaos downstairs.
