You still remember seeing those familiar deep purple eyes the first time again since the incident. You couldn't believe it, it felt like an eternity since you had last seen him.
You remember the simpler times where you both would skip school. The soft air brushes your cheek as the bell rung indicates break. Your fingers hover over the number "0 6 7" as a soda rolled down from the vending machine. The sound of light footsteps reaches your ears, 'Hey pipsqueak' a hand reaches out to ruffle your hair.
'you're not eating with your friends?' you said popping the soda can open. Bringing it to your lips the sweet fizzy drink swirls around your tongue. 'Nahh didn't feel like it' he said, leaning on the vending machine with his arms crossing each other. 'hey let's skip'. You raised your brows at this 'aren't you the golden boy around here? don't you have a reputation to look out for' you laughed taking it as a joke.
Not long after a hand grabbed yours, pulling you. And before you knew it you were trying to keep up with Caleb's pace. 'Caleb are you crazy?! my soda is gonna spill all over the place' you yelped worried about causing a mess. Behind you was traces of spilt liquid. Caleb laughed softly 'you worry too much' he took the can from you and continued leading towards the school's exit.
Scanning the area there was no one to be found, it seems like everyone was enjoying their short break. 'on three we're gonna make a run for it okay?' Caleb said in which you return a nod to him. "three..." you readied your feet 'two..' his hand was still on yours 'one'.
You both booked for it. Caleb returned the soda into your hands and pushed the gates swiftly. Everything was going smoothly, too smoothly. 'Hey!' a faint shout was heard from a few feet. It was the school's security guard. oh crap. He was furious, brows furrowed downwards like an angry bird.
Quickly Caleb took your hand again and you both ran out. Taking a quick glance behind you could see the guard chasing after you guys but he was way far behind. But that didn't stop you guys from running. Reaching a convenience store you both halted. The sounds of heavy breathing filled the air. You were hunched over hands on your knees taking in as much air as you can.
A breathy laugh escaped Caleb's lips. You looked over to him, the golden sun basked around and he looked so content you couldn't help but smile and join into his laugh.
After your return to Linkon there wasn't a single day where he didn't cross your mind. Awake and asleep he had occupied your thoughts 24/7. Even now when he was no longer by your side you were wondering what he was up to. Oh how you badly wanted it to go back to the way it used to be.
Mixing the fizzy drink in your hand you were excited to taste how it turned out. Bringing it to your lips you could taste the fresh, juicy apple. It wasn't too sour and had just the right amount of sweetness. You came across this recipe not too long ago and decided to give it a shot. You knew Caleb would've loved it.
A sigh escapes your lips. you both were still in no contact, ignoring and pretending the recent encounter like it had never happened. Maybe you should've thrown away your ego aside and hugged him when you departed, or maybe- You feel a small pang in your heart, why did it have to end like this?
Pushing aside the dwelling you decided to write the recipe down in a sticky note 'Caleb's favorite' and placed it aside. Maybe one day he'll have the chance to try it.
You really thought you knew him, the sweet Caleb from your childhood. The Caleb that promised to always be by your side with that toothy grin of his. What had happened between that period that you two were apart? What were the things you weren't aware of?
Laying in bed you scrolled through social media when you came across a funny video that Caleb would've probably laughed at. So out of habit you shared it to his number. Even after the passing of Caleb you always found yourself sending him posts, it was a manner you couldn't let go off.
That was when it hit you. His phone was now active again. You went and open his contact. seen. You felt like dying inside how could you be so dumb. You rolled around in your bed kicking and everything whilst screaming into your pillow to muffle it down. Reluctantly you looked at your phone again to see three dots. He was typing.
You sat right up and stared at your phone, what could he possibly say. You waited anticipated as those three dots jump up and down. Then it stopped. He didn't send a message. You were disappointed to say the least.
For a moment your finger hovered over the phone icon before retracing it back. Maybe this was for the best. Maybe you were stuck in the past foolishly thinking everything lasts.

Sylus
Sylus is an observant man. Every small detail, every precise moment, every specific word, does not go unnoticed. So it was quite a surprise that you have gone so long without him noticing your minor addiction. There were quite a few times where you almost thought you were done for. But hey, luck was truly on your side.
3 months ago
You had invited Sylus over to your place to just relax. He had brought some food over and placed it over the kitchen counter where he came across 13 lighters splayed out. At first he thought you had taken an interest in collecting them, but upon taking a closer look it was from the same cheap brand you could find in a nearby mini market but in form of different colors. ‘sweetie what’s with all these lighters?’ he asked amused.
You paused for a moment, every time you used a lighter it somehow always ends up lost, frustrated you bought a whole bulk the other day. ‘oh I just love lighting up scented candles’ you waved it off. Sylus didn’t press further on and left it at that. That day Sylus went home but found not one single candle present in your house.
2 weeks ago
Under the hot scorching sun you draped a shawl over your head trying to shield your boiling scalp from the immense heat. For the past days Sylus and you had just finished running some business errands and now had some free time to hop from one stall to another checking out what the locals had to offer. Within a few stalls Sylus had gone to purchase some refreshments leaving you some cash to look around and buy anything you wanted. You were looking through some fine jewelry when something else caught your eye.
A beautiful gold-plated ashtray adorning with intricate carvings. It was cool to the touch contrasting with the current weather and truly one of a kind.
‘An ashtray?’ Sylus appeared holding strawberry lemon soda in hand. ‘exquisite don’t you think?’ i said eyes still on the item. Sylus nodded an agreement, ‘let’s take a look at what other stores have to offer , oh and i already payed for it’ nudging his head towards the ashtray in my hand.
Present
It was late at night yet the street lights illuminates the dark. Sylus and you had just drove through Linkon taking in the gorgeous city. It was cold and quiet everyone was fast asleep but you were parked in a 24 hour fast food restaurant enjoying an ice cream cone.
‘sweetie where’s the charger?’ he asked rummaging through the glove compartment. ‘oh yeah it’s in the armrest console’ you quickly replied. As Sylus reaches out to open it you had just recalled that it was where you had kept your Marlboro stash. Panic flowed through your chest ‘wait!’ you exclaimed, but it was too late and all you could do was sink into your seat.
Sylus examined the pack, opening it to find 4 sticks left 'Kitten this can’t be good for you, you just bought this 3 days ago' his voice carried out softly. I whipped my head to look at him 'how did you know when i bought this?' my brows furrowed questioning him. 'oh sweetie you can’t think I’m that oblivious' his lips curl into a smirk. 'if you knew all this time then why didn’t you tell me?' 'i thought I’d wait until you would tell me yourself besides, Mephisto is having a blast scouting for lighters to add to his collection' you gasped as a hand flew to your mouth feeling disbelief 'that was you?!' a finger pointed at him.
Caleb
Your head hung low looking aimlessly as cars passes by. A hand lays on the steel railing supporting your whole body while the other holds a cigarette between your index and middle finger.
You couldn’t comprehend why you continued this habit. Caleb is back, he’s alive, and you both have made up. So why couldn’t you put this habit behind you? Perhaps you were paranoid that he could be taken away from you any moment just like last time. Perhaps you’re worried that Caleb has changed and you couldn’t accept it, or perhaps-
You shut your eyes and took a long drag as the warmth overcomes you. The heavy bitter taste dances on your tongue as the nicotine settles in calming your nerves. You really needed to find another alternative way to soothe these thoughts. You were to caught up with your own mind when your ears perked up. It was as if someone has called your name.
Light footsteps clicked through your apartment’s living, You flipped your head towards the glass door behind you and to your suprise your favorite Fleet-space Colonel was currently peeking through your bedroom to look for you. Shit. At times like this you surely regretted giving him a spare key to your home. Quickly you dropped your cigarette onto the ground stumping on it before kicking it off your balcony.
The glass door slid and in walks Caleb with a big smile
'Hey Pipsqueak I’ve been calling out for you what’s got you so preoccupied out here?'. You shrugged and gave a nervous smile slowly inching back, afraid that the persistent tobacco scent would be noticed. 'Not happy to see me?' he chuckled grabbing your waist and pulling you into his embrace.
You noticed that he pulled away longer than normally but his hands were still placed firmly on your waist. 'name' his voice was sharp. It was the tone he carried when commanding the space-fleet. Oh surely you were fucked. 'hmm?' you cocked you head. 'Have you been-' he paused taking a scan of the small terrace. 'Have you been smoking?' brows furrow. Feeling caught red handed you didn’t bother answering him but rather threw your gaze towards the bustling streets.
A hand reaches your cheek guiding you to look at him
But you’ve never, Why would you… Your gaze meets his and as the two of you locked eyes a silent understanding falls. His face softens up ‘You know you don’t need to carry all your burdens and worries alone anymore right?’ 'i knoww' you whined. 'how about you throw this away,' he said whilst reaching for my back pocket and waved the cigarette pack in front of me, 'and we’ll get dinner, my treat' he winked playfully. 'but it was expensive' i groaned frowning a bit. 'all the more reason to stop pipsqueak how about we also stop for dessert’ he squished your cheeks. ‘and snacks’ your voice muffled from the force against your cheeks. Caleb chuckled 'alright we have a deal' placing a chaste kiss on your forehead.

Paring: Jason Grace x reader
Highschool Au!
Summary: Confess? Not a success!
You're in your senior and to your luck you had classes with none of your friends.
One day after class a blonde dude came up to you, from the small scar on his lips you recognized him as one of Annabeth's and Percy's friend as they would frequently post him on insta. He asked you if he could see your notes cause he accidentally fell asleep and you guys had a test for it the next week.
Being the kind hearted person you are you gave it to him without a second thought.
From then on sharing notes with each other became a habit of you two and it evolved to studying in the library after school.
Whenever you guys were discussing his eyes would be on you. All his attention? On you. It made you nervous the first time but over time you got used to it.
Jason Grace was known for being a gentlemen and they did not lie. He always opened the door for you, you can't even remember the last time you open one when he was around.
Anyone would've fallen for him if they were treated this way and so you developed feelings for him
It's a good thing that you guys had mutual friends. Percy was delighted to know that you guys were familiar of each other.
You, Jason, Percy, and Annabeth would hang out any chance you got.
One day you were eating lunch with them when Jason got up to grab some napkins leaving you with the lovebirds
"So when are you gonna tell him" Annabeth nudged you
"Tell who what?" You replied confusion evident in your voice while your gaze still focused on your food
"Jason that you like him duhh" Percy continued in a teasing tone
...
You immediately looked at them to see if they were joking but with the smirks painted on their face it was clear that you were busted
Before you could reply Jason had returned
After you were caught by Annabeth and Percy there was no escaping it. They pestered you like mosquitos always nagging you to fess up!
After a full week of them tormenting you, you dreadfully agreed.
But every time to you tried someone was always interrupting.
Attempt 1: Class hadn't begun and students were still roaming around the hall so you decided this moment was the time. Earlier in the morning you even gave yourself a pep-talk to yourself in the mirror. You walked over to Jason as he was grabbing books from his locker. You greeted him as usual, "I have to tell you some-" Your words were cut off as Drew decided to join in the conversation. It was clear she was here for Jason cause every time you tried to get in a word she talked over you.
Attempt 2: You guys were currently having chemistry and you paired up for today's experiment. So you thought hey what better way to confess your feelings with a cheesy chemistry pick up line?! at least if he didn't reciprocate your feelings you could play it off as a joke. Here goes nothing. "Hey Jason" you called out. He looked at you waiting for you to continue. You pulled out your best charming face "Do you have 11 protons? cause you're sodium fin-" Before you could finish your sentence a classmate of yours had somehow accidently blew up a Bunsen burner causing the lab to catch on fire. Ugh so close!
Attempt 3: Okay you thought this was the last of your attempt and if it goes south you were just gonna give up this whole confessing ordeal.
It was after school and you and Jason were currently in the halls.
Here goes nothing, "I feel strange whenever you're around"
He stared at you for a moment and you can feel yourself turning into a tomato
ohmygoshohmygosh you instantly regret saying that perhaps you should've worded it better, welp no turning back now.
"Do you have a fever or something" he finally replied a worried expression on his face. Jason put his hand on your forehead. Considering your hot red face you decided to just go with it.
"Yeah I think so" he told you to go to the infirmary but you declined. He wasn't taking no for an answer so he grabbed your arm and dragged you.
Somewhere in the distance Percy saw your red face and Jason dragging you away so he thought that you managed to profess your love to him.
As you were inside the infirmary Jason was out in the hallway grabbing you a drink from the water dispenser.
Suddenly someone slapped him on the back and was congratulating him. He turned around to see Percy.
Percy was going on about he can't believe y/n actually did it, Jason's confusion was unbeknownst to him and he kept on rambling.
"y/n's been crushing on you for ages took you guys long enough to do something about it"
"y/n likes me?"
Percy: ☝️😦🧍🏃
Jason just kinda stood there dazed
Until you came out of the infirmary "Good news the nurse said it was nothing serious" cause it wasn't you were just a blushing hot mess
He gave you the water and just blurted out "you like me?'
Obviously you were caught of guard and you were like "ahahah where did that come from?"
"Percy said so"
silence absolute silence
then you ran
Was it a coward move? Yes Did you care? No
He chased after you
See the thing is he's on the football team so no matter how hard you tried you couldn't outrun him
So he finally caught up to you and held you firmly by the shoulders "Y/n" reluctantly you looked up at him "do you like me?"
Oh how you were gonna roundhouse kick Percy when you see him
You nod muttering a small "yeah I like you"
You expected a sorry i don't feel the same but instead he laughed
"Gee it's fine if you don't reciprocate my feelings but no need to rub it in my face" you sighed
" No, no, no " Jason waved his hands defensively, "I'm just glad because I like you too"
You smiled like a fool. A fool in love!
You guys lean closer to each other, faces just inches a part
Every second you guys leaned closer, closer and-
"WOHOO Now y/n actually did it!" Percy yelled out from behind us
Pairing: Luke Castellan x fem!reader
Summary: Apparently you have a boyfriend you weren't even aware of
WC: 802 words
Content: Fake dating? Luke and reader aren't that close
The dining pavilion was filled with demigods eating and chattering amongst each other including you. It was your third year on camp half-blood and you were no stranger to the infamous Luke Castellan.
There he stood a few feet away from you bombarded with girls. But hey what’s new? You paid no mind to it and continue enjoying your meal with your siblings.
“Isn’t he just sooo dreamy” Bella, your sister, closed her eyes releasing a soft exhale as she gently nestled her head between her arms that’s on the table. “Who? Luke?” i tilted my head to the side and raised a brow. “duhh who else” Bella rolled her eyes. “he’s not all that you know” I retorted as I slurped my remaining mango juice. “Like I’m gonna listen to you, you turn down every guy that comes your way!”. I laughed “touché”. Pushing myself up from my seat I got up to throw away my empty juice box.
As i walk over to the bin I could overhear snippets of conversation from Luke and his fangirls. They leaned in closer to Luke every chance they got. Occasionally batting their eyelash with their flirtatious charm, accompanied by a few playful slap and laughter ever so often.
I grimaced seeing the situation unfolding in front of me. They were trying a bit too hard in and it was very obvious.
“I appreciate the flattery", his eyes betraying his words as a hint of discomfort was displayed. "...but I’m taken” said Luke as he tried to shake off a devotee that was clinging onto his arm. “As if,” the girl rolled her eyes “I don’t see her around” she pursed her lips.
I was in the middle of walking back to my table when I felt someone tugging my arm causing me to stumble. Fortunately, I was able to regain my footing. Guess training does came in handy. “Hey wha-“ my brows furrow in confusion. Before I could continue speaking Luke gently put his hands on my shoulders and guided me to face his little fan-club.
“This is my girlfriend, y/n.” Luke announced with a bright smile. His voice filled with enthusiasm.
My head immediately did a 180° flip towards him and a look of puzzlement was evident on my face. The other girls and I simultaneously said “What?”
“Oh don’t be all shy now sweetheart” he said while pinching my cheeks. All I could think was what the actual fuck?
“Now please excuse us” I was about to brush my alleged boyfriend off but he gave me a soft gaze, with a hint of desperation. Oh darn him and his puppy eyes. With a reluctant sigh I acknowledged his request and complied.
Luke led me to a path by the lake giving us enough privacy from the rest of camp. As we came to a halt I fixed my posture straight and firmly placed my hands on my hips. “Are you out of your mi-“ Luke raised his hand and pushed his pointer finger on my lips to shush me. I was really tempted to bite his finger considering the many times he had cut me off.
“Okay so now that you’re my girlfriend-“ The voices won and I bit his finger. Arching my eyebrows and narrowing my eyes I gave him a WTF look. “When did I agree to be your girlfriend?”
“I should’ve worded it better” Luke muttered under his breath while fanning his hand. “okay let me rephrase, I need you to be my girlfriend. well Fake girlfriend.”
“Hard pass” I said
“Wait listen, just for a while until those girls lay off”
“You can go pick someone else”
“No no no you don’t get it, it has to be you. They saw me with you if, I go changing my ‘girlfriend’ they’ll know it’s a lie” Luke said with a slight whine.
“what do I get in return?”
Luke’s lips parted slightly before snapping shut. Clearly he didn’t think this whole ordeal through.
“I’ll make your bed every day”
“c’mon you gotta do better than that” I sigh and folded my arms
“I’ll do all your chores” I feigned a yawn
“I’ll give you all my dessert!” I smirk. Now we’re talking
I extended my hand and he did the same. Sealing the deal with a firm handshake. “From now on you’ll be doing all my chores, make my bed, give all your dessert to me, and do everything I ask you to” I said closing my eyes with a smile of delight painted on my face. Seeing as the matter was solved I began to make my way back to the dining pavilion. “Yes exactl- wait, do anything you ask me to?” Luke’s brows furrow. I laugh and ignore him.
Oh this is going to be interesting...
A/N: This is my first time writing so sorry if it's sucky. Might make a part 2
