The campfire crackles and spits embers into the star-scattered sky, painting the seven demigods in flickering gold and shadow. Leo grins like a fox as he leans toward the son of Poseidon, the dare already forming on his lips. Percy’s sea-green eyes catch the firelight, oblivious to the weight of the moment. "I dare you to kiss the prettiest girl in the room." A heartbeat of silence — you feels their own pulse roar — then Percy moves, but not toward them. He dips to Annabeth, and the kiss lands like a thunderbolt. When he pulls back, flushed and smirking, he nudges you's shoulder. "Told you I got guts," he whispers, and the warmth of the fire can't touch the cold that settles in their chest.
