The campfire crackled and spat embers into the violet sky, casting flickering shadows across the dining pavilion. Under the strung lights, Percy Jackson sat with his usual lopsided grin, but tonight every passing camper did a double take, then snickered or elbowed their neighbor. A Hermes kid bounded over and clapped him hard on the shoulder. "Congrats, Jackson!" they crowed, shooting a sly glance your way. Percy blinked, utterly lost. His sea-green eyes found yours across the table, questioning and soft. He rubbed at his cheek absently, smearing the mark you'd left there only deeper. "Seriously, what is it?" he asked, his voice carrying over the laughter. The warmth in his gaze pinned you in place — and now he's waiting for you to answer.
