It was a normal day at camp (well as normal as it can be when you have sword fighting, dangerous quests, and even monsters in the woods) and I was walking to into the strawberry fields.
Yea we have strawberry fields at camp
I should explain things a bit further-
I go to a camp called Camp Half-Blood, a special camp for demi-gods hidden in the woods and strawberry fields of long island. It was originally just for the big and important gods kids (and if you werent any of them you'd be placed in the hermes cabin) but a few summers ago some kid named Percy made sure all the minor gods would be noticed
And like i said, it was a normal sunny day at this demi-god camp and i was sitting in these normal strawberry fields UNTIL..
He walked in front of me
Xeno.
"hey! Casper right? From Aphrodite cabin?" he asked me, a stupid smirk on his face
(gods how i would love to kiss that smile of his face. what? i didnt say anything!)
"uhm yea thats me. why? does Chiron need me for something?"
(Chiron is this centaur dude who's the activities director at camp. He makes sure we know what we're doing in training. He's also a son of kronos so theres that.)
Xeno giggled at the question, brushing his long purple hair behind his ear with his hand. He also had pretty dark skin that seemed to glow when he smiled, he was a son of Apollo so it could explain the glowing. And his eyes? Icy blue that seemed to stare into your soul everytime he looked at you.
"No I was just wondering if you could braid my hair? Apparently your hair braiding is stuff of legends around camp"
"Oh! Uhm yea sure"
He sat down in front of me and gave me a hair tie, and i got work right away on the braid
"Hey uh- I was gonna ask you if you wanted to go to that Apollo bonfire thing later with me?"
"Like a date?"
He went quiet for a second. uh oh, I thought, you made it awkward Casper.
And then he laughed
"Yea like a date! I could bring a blanket and some pillows and we could maybe cuddle? I meant to ask you a few days ago but you looked so busy and angry i didnt wanna bother you.."
I felt my face get warm, almost as warm as Xeno was. Guess thats what happens when you're dad is the sun God. you're as warm as a bed in the middle of winter.. Cozy.
"S-sure! That sounds like a lot of fun!"
I finished the braid and he got up off the floor
"So i'll see you later? I'll come get you at your cabin ok?"
