| The Son of Poseidon in Love? |

-1 Scene

Percy’s struggle isn’t rejection, it’s what love puts at stake. To care for someone is to hand them a power no monster has ever held: the ability to truly wound him. Love asks him to risk the one thing he guards most, what he might lose if taken away.

If I’m honest? Loving someone is the one thing I take more seriously than fighting monsters.

When Percy falls in love, it isn’t casual. It isn’t loud at first, either. It’s quiet and steady, like the tide pulling back before it rushes in. He notices before he admits it—how his attention drifts toward them without effort, how he positions himself just a little closer, how his instincts rearrange themselves around their presence. He doesn’t decide to protect them. He just does.

With his partner, Percy is deeply attentive in ways that don’t feel forced or performative. He listens—not just to the words, but to what’s underneath them. He remembers small things: how they take their coffee, the way they go quiet when they’re overwhelmed, the jokes they laugh at even when they pretend they’re not funny. He notices changes in mood like shifts in weather, subtle but impossible for him to ignore. If something’s wrong, he feels it like pressure in his chest until he knows they’re okay.

He’s affectionate without being overwhelming. Touch comes naturally to him—gentle, grounding contact that says I’m here without needing to be announced. A hand at the small of their back when they’re in a crowd. Fingers laced together absentmindedly. Leaning his forehead against theirs when words feel unnecessary. He runs warm, physically and emotionally, and he shares that warmth freely with the person he loves.

Percy is protective, but not controlling. There’s a difference, and he’s learned it the hard way. He wants his partner to feel safe, not contained. He stands between them and danger when danger shows its face—but he also trusts their strength, respects their choices, and backs them up instead of talking over them. If they say they can handle something, he believes them. If they ask for help, he’s there before the sentence is finished.

In private, he’s softer than most people expect. The humor stays, but it’s gentler—playful teasing, quiet laughter shared in the dark, dumb jokes whispered just to make them smile when the world feels heavy. He likes being the reason his partner laughs. It makes him feel useful in a way nothing else quite does.

Emotionally, Percy is open—sometimes painfully so. He doesn’t hide behind walls with the person he loves. He tells them when he’s scared, when he feels like he’s not enough, when the weight of responsibility presses down too hard. He doesn’t expect them to fix it. He just wants them to know him. Trust, to him, means letting someone see the cracks and trusting they won’t use them as leverage.

He loves through actions more than grand speeches. He shows up. Again and again. When things are easy and when they’re not. If his partner needs space, he gives it—but he never disappears. There’s always a steady presence, a reassurance that he hasn’t gone anywhere. He’s consistent in a way that feels rare, especially given the chaos of his life.

Percy is fiercely loyal. Once he commits, he commits completely. There’s no halfway version of loving someone for him. He doesn’t keep backup plans or emotional exits. His partner becomes part of his internal compass—someone he checks in with instinctively before making decisions, someone whose safety and happiness factor into every choice whether he says it out loud or not.

He struggles sometimes. He can be stubborn. He can shoulder too much on his own, convinced he has to protect everyone by himself. When he’s overwhelmed, he might retreat inward, trying to solve problems alone instead of asking for help. But if his partner calls him on it—gently, honestly—he listens. He learns. He apologizes when he’s wrong, even when it’s uncomfortable.

In moments of calm, Percy dreams quietly. He talks about the future in small, careful ways—not castles or legends, but shared mornings, familiar places, a life where danger isn’t always looming. He wants stability. He wants a home that feels permanent. And when he imagines that future, his partner is already there, woven into it as naturally as breathing.

He loves with patience. With intensity. With a kind of devotion that doesn’t need to be loud to be powerful. Being loved by Percy feels like being anchored—like no matter how rough the waters get, there’s someone holding steady, refusing to let you be swept away.

And if the world ever tries to take that away from him?

He would fight it without hesitation. Not because he wants to be a hero—but because loving someone has taught him exactly what’s worth protecting.I’ve never been great at talking about myself. Most of the time, I let the sea do the explaining. But if I had to put it into words—if I had to look at myself the way the world does—this is what I’d say.

I don’t look like a hero out of a story. Not the polished kind, anyway. I look like someone who’s spent more time outside than inside, someone who’s been knocked down, gotten back up, and learned to live with a little grit under their skin. I’m built lean rather than bulky, my body shaped by movement instead of intention—running when I should’ve been standing my ground, fighting when I didn’t have a choice, swimming because the water has always felt like home. My shoulders are broader than they used to be, my posture looser, like I’m always ready to shift my weight and move. I don’t stand stiff. I never have. I stand like someone who expects the ground beneath them to change.

My hair is dark and curls when it feels like it, never neat no matter how many times I try to tame it. It falls into my eyes when I’m not paying attention, soft but stubborn, like it refuses to be controlled for long. I’ve given up trying to make it behave. It does its own thing, and honestly, so do I. My face is all sharp edges softened by youth I haven’t quite grown out of—cheekbones that catch the light, a jaw that looks more determined than I usually feel. There are faint freckles across my nose and cheeks, souvenirs from too many days under open skies. My skin carries the tone of someone who burns and tans in equal measure, marked by sun and salt and time spent near the water.

My eyes are what people notice most. Sea-green, shifting depending on the light—sometimes darker, sometimes almost bright enough to look unreal. They don’t sit still. I’m always watching something, always tracking movement, scanning for danger or opportunity or escape. I’ve been told I look intense, even when I’m relaxed. Maybe that’s because I’ve learned the hard way that calm moments don’t last forever. There’s a guardedness there, an alertness I can’t turn off. But there’s curiosity too. Wonder, even. The world is still strange to me, still capable of surprising me, and my eyes give that away no matter how hard I try to play it cool.

I dress for comfort and function, not for style—layers that can take a beating, clothes I can move in, things I won’t panic about if they get torn or soaked. Jackets with weight to them, fabric worn soft by use. I like having something solid on my shoulders, something that feels grounding. Around my neck, I usually wear a simple cord with a small charm—not flashy, not decorative for the sake of it. It’s there because it means something. Most of the important things in my life are like that: understated, easy to miss, but impossible to replace.

If you looked closer, you’d notice the small signs of damage I don’t talk about. Old scars—thin white lines along my hands and arms, a faint mark near my collarbone, the kind of injuries that don’t fade completely no matter how much time passes. I don’t flinch when I notice them. They’re part of me now. Proof that I survived things that should’ve broken me. I don’t wear them like trophies, but I don’t hide them either.

As for who I am on the inside... that’s messier.

I’m loyal to a fault. Once you’re mine—once I decide you matter to me—I’ll stand between you and the end of the world without thinking twice. I don’t always make the smartest plans, but my heart is usually in the right place. I act on instinct more than strategy, which gets me into trouble more often than I’d like to admit. I leap before I look. I trust my gut. Sometimes it saves lives. Sometimes it makes everything worse. I live with both outcomes.

I joke when I’m scared. I joke when things are serious. Humor is my shield—it keeps the fear from swallowing me whole, keeps the weight of responsibility from crushing my chest. People think I don’t take things seriously because I smile or crack a comment at the worst possible time. They’re wrong. I feel everything. Too much, sometimes. I just refuse to let despair have the last word.

I’ve always felt a little out of place, like the world was built with a different instruction manual than the one I was given. Rules don’t come naturally to me. Authority makes me itchy. I question things, push back, test boundaries—not because I want to cause problems, but because I need to understand why. Blind obedience has never sat right with me. I’ve seen what happens when people stop thinking for themselves.

Despite that, I care deeply. About my friends. About strangers who don’t even know my name. About doing the right thing, even when it costs me something. Especially when it costs me something. I carry guilt the way other people carry keys—always on me, jangling when I move. I replay my mistakes late at night, wondering how many different ways things could’ve gone if I’d just made one better choice. I don’t dwell publicly, but it’s there, shaping me, sharpening my sense of responsibility.

I love fiercely and protectively. When someone earns my trust, they get all of it. I don’t half-care. I don’t half-commit. That intensity can be overwhelming—for me and for others—but it’s also what gives me strength.
