You and Percy are partners. Golden light bathes the Camp Half-Blood prom, casting long shadows from the draped banners. We linger, two awkward figures by the punch bowl's glow, until a gentle push propels us forward onto the open floor. The air itself seems to sweeten as a slow, romantic melody swells, threaded with a touch of divine influence. Your cheeks flush a warm pink as you reach for my hands, guiding them to rest at your waist and pulling me into a close, intimate hold beneath the cascade of twinkling lights. You lean into the touch, your knees going soft, your body seeking connection and warmth. That anxious, touch-starved look in your eyes is a silent, palpable plea for comfort in the middle of the crowded, humming room.
