It took me around 3 hours to get ready for the bonfire.
..
My siblings were DEEPLY concerned for me considering i never take more than 5 minutes getting ready for anything.
I left my cabin in excitement and sat on the porch waiting for Xeno.
I was out here for 15 minutes and honestly though i was abandoned or he found someone better to go with
Until i heard him screaming my name, and from the corner of my eye i saw him running towards me
"CASPER IM HERE!"
"Oh hey! I didnt expect you to actually come"
"Why wouldnt i? I really like you i wouldnt just abandon you."
Those last few words rung in my mind and stung like a fresh wound leaking with blood. Memories..
He must've noticed i was out of it and snapped his fingers in front of my face to get my attention
"huh..? What did you say?" I asked like an idiot
"Cas, did i say something triggering? You kinda zoned out for a while there.. 2 whole minutes"
"Oh yeah.. yeah im fine i promise"
"Swear on it."
"I swear."
"No.. Swear on the Styx."
"Xeno.. Fine i swear on the Styx. Better?"
"Yes thank you very much. Now lets go before anyone wonders what im doing outside of the Aphrodite cabin" He took my hand and helped me onto my feet (like a gentleman does) and we walked towards the fire pit together
Together
Hand in hand.
I was internally FREAKING out and my face must've been really red because i swore i hear Xeno giggle at me
