(header made by me!! feel free to use but plz tag me!)

(this took me hours bruuuu)

You stared at your phone screen, reading the message for the third time that morning.

-Manager Kim: Y/N, the boys are expecting you at 10am. Studio B. They're excited to meet you! Don't be nervous, they're really chill 😊

-Y/N: Got it! on my way now!

Your camera bag felt heavier than usual as you walked down the hallway of the entertainment building. This was it. Your first day as Cortis' official content creator and photographer. You'd been briefed on what they wanted—authentic behind-the-scenes content, candid moments, the real them. No pressure.

The studio door was slightly open. You could hear laughter inside.

Deep breath.

You knocked.

"Come in!" someone called out.

Five guys looked up as you entered. They were sprawled across the couches and chairs, mid-conversation, looking way more relaxed than you felt.

"Hi," you managed, adjusting your camera strap. "I'm Y/N. Your new photographer."

The tallest one stood up first, smiling warmly. "Martin. Nice to meet you!" He had an easy confidence about him. "We've been looking forward to this. Our content's been pretty boring lately."

"Speak for yourself," another guy laughed, walking over. "I'm James. Welcome to the chaos."

The introductions continued—Juhoon gave you a casual wave from the couch, Seonghyeon offered to help with your equipment bag, and then—

"So you're the one who's gonna make us look good?"

You turned to see the last member leaning against the wall, arms crossed, a smirk playing on his lips.

"Keonho," he said, before you could ask. "Hope you're good with Photoshop because I only photograph well from my left side."

"Lucky for you, I'm great with Photoshop," you shot back without thinking. "I can work miracles."

His eyebrows raised slightly, the smirk widening. "Oh, she's got jokes."

Martin laughed. "I like her already."

Your phone buzzed. Manager Kim had added you to a group chat.

Manager Kim added you to "CORTIS FAM"

-Manager Kim: Y/N is officially in the group chat! Make her feel welcome boys

-Juhoon: yooo welcome to hell 🔥

-Seonghyeon: ignore him lol hi Y/N!!

-James: finally someone who can actually work a camera

-Martin: Rude. My selfies are art.

-Keonho: let's see if she can keep up with us first

-You: thanks for the warm welcome 😅 i'll do my best!

-Martin: we're pretty easy going, promise

-Martin: except when Keonho hasn't had coffee

-Keonho: lies and slander

MANAGER KIM LEFT THE GROUP

You looked up from your phone to find them all watching you with amused expressions.

"Okay," you said, pulling out your camera. "Should we start? Manager Kim said you have rehearsal in an hour."

"Right to business," James nodded approvingly. "What do you need from us?"

"Just... be yourselves? I want to capture the real you guys. The stuff fans don't usually see." You started adjusting your camera settings. "Pretend I'm not here."

"That's gonna be hard," Keonho said. "You're very here."

You ignored him, raising your camera. "Seriously, just do whatever you'd normally do."

They exchanged glances, then seemed to collectively shrug and fall back into their previous conversation. You started shooting—Martin laughing at something on his phone, Juhoon and Seonghyeon going over choreography in the corner, James scrolling through music on the sound system.

And Keonho, still watching you with that slight smirk.

You pointed your camera at him. "You gonna pose all day or actually do something?"

"Is this you telling me I'm photogenic?"

"It's me telling you you're in my way."

He laughed—a genuine one this time—and moved to join the others. You caught the moment on camera. The smile looked good on him.

Your phone buzzed again.

PRIVATE CHAT

-Keonho: 📸

-Keonho: that's you

-Keonho: very serious

You glanced up. He was across the room but looking at his phone, clearly having just sent the message. You bit back a smile.

-You: that's me doing my job

-You: you should try it sometime

-Keonho: ouch

CORTIS FAM

-Martin: are you two texting each other

-Martin: you're in the same room 😭

-Juhoon: LMAOOO

-Seonghyeon: this is already entertaining

-You: he started it!

-Keonho: mature

-James: children. we have children in this group.

You pocketed your phone, cheeks slightly warm, and focused on your camera. Through the viewfinder, you caught Keonho glancing your way again, that smirk still there.

This was going to be interesting.

An hour later, you had hundreds of shots—candid moments, genuine laughter, the guys being themselves. Exactly what you'd hoped for.

CORTIS FAM

You: got some great shots today! i'll edit and send previews tonight

Martin: you're fast!

Seonghyeon: can't wait to see them!

Juhoon: make me look tall

You: i said i work miracles, not magic

James: DAMN

Keonho: she's ruthless

Keonho: i respect it

Martin: Y/N fits right in

You: does this mean i passed the first day test?

Seonghyeon: with flying colors 💯

James: same time tomorrow?

You: i'll be here 📸

You left the building with a smile on your face, camera bag lighter somehow. Your phone buzzed one more time.

PRIVATE CHAT

Keonho: hey

Keonho: you actually did make us look good

Keonho: even me. from my right side.

You: told you. miracles.

Keonho: see you tomorrow, photographer

You: see you tomorrow, left side only

Keonho: 😏

Yeah. This was definitely going to be interesting.

Two Weeks Later

You sat cross-legged on your bed, laptop open, scrolling through the photos from today's shoot. The guys had been recording in the studio, and you'd captured Martin with his headphones on, eyes closed, completely lost in the music. It was perfect.

You opened Instagram and started uploading.

@cortis_behind | 2 hours ago [Photo: Martin in the recording booth, golden hour lighting, completely in his element] Caption: when the music hits different 🎵✨ watching these guys create is something else

The post went live. Within minutes, your phone started buzzing.

CORTIS FAM

Martin: YO THIS IS FIRE

-Martin: you made me look like an actual artist

-You: you ARE an actual artist dummy

-Seonghyeon: the lighting is insane

-James: post the one of Juhoon falling asleep on the couch

-Juhoon: DO NOT

-You: 😇

You posted another photo—this one of all five of them huddled around a laptop, reviewing tracks. Candid, real, exactly the vibe you wanted.

@cortis_behind | 1 hour ago [Photo: All five members crowded together, pointing at screen, mid-discussion] Caption: creative chaos at its finest 🎼 these boys don't stop

The comments started rolling in.

@starrylights: WAIT WHO'S RUNNING THIS ACCOUNT

@cortisfan02: this content is SO GOOD omg we never get to see this side of them

@jamesbiased: THE QUALITY??? whoever is taking these photos is talented af

@keonho.my.love: i need more of this behind the scenes content PLS

@martin.enthusiast: this is what we've been WAITING FOR

You screenshot some of the comments and sent them to the group chat.

CORTIS FAM

-You: [screenshot] fans are loving it!

-Seonghyeon: told you they would

-Martin: "talented af" they're right and they should say it

-Keonho: don't let it go to your head, photographer

-You: too late, already ordering a bigger camera bag for my massive ego

-James: she fits right in with us then

-Juhoon: one of us one of us

Over the next few days, your posts gained traction. Fans started following the @cortis_behind account religiously. Every photo you posted got thousands of likes, hundreds of comments begging for more.

@cortis_behind | 3 days later [Photo: Keonho mid-laugh, head thrown back, completely unguarded] Caption: caught him off guard (a rare occurrence) 📸

CORTIS FAM

-Keonho: you're really just gonna post unflattering photos of me huh

-You: unflattering??? you look good

-You: unfortunately

-Martin: UNFORTUNATELY

-Martin: 👀👀👀 👀

-Seonghyeon: interesting word choice there Y/N

-You: i meant like. objectively. professionally speaking.

-Juhoon: sure y/nniee

-Keonho: 😏

-Keonho: so you think i look good

-You: i think my PHOTOGRAPHY looks good

-You: you just happen to be in it

-James: this is entertaining

-Keonho: whatever helps you sleep at night

You stared at your phone, face warm. The guys were impossible.

Three Weeks In

You were in the practice room, camera raised, trying to get a shot of their choreography. Keonho kept deliberately jumping into frame right as you pressed the shutter.

"Keonho!" you groaned, checking the camera screen. "That's the fifth time!"

"Is it?" He grinned, walking over. "My bad."

"You're doing it on purpose."

"Prove it."

You showed him the screen—five photos in a row of him making ridiculous faces directly at the camera while the others danced seriously in the background.

"Huh," he said, leaning close to look. "I'm very photogenic though, you have to admit."

"You're very annoying."

"Same thing."

Martin called out from across the room. "Keonho, stop flirting and get back in formation!"

"I'm not—" Keonho started.

"He's not—" you said at the same time.

The other members exchanged knowing looks.

Your phone buzzed.

CORTIS FAM

-James: they're not flirting guys

-Seonghyeon: definitely not

-Juhoon: the most platonic behavior i've ever seen

-Martin: completely professional

-You: i hate all of you

-Keonho: same

-Martin: you two even text the same way now

-Martin: cute

-You: I'M TRYING TO WORK

-Keonho: SAME

-Juhoon: LMAOOO

Later that day, you were reviewing footage when Keonho appeared behind you.

"Let me see."

You tilted the camera screen toward him. It was a video of him practicing, completely focused, every movement precise.

"You actually got my good side," he said.

"I thought you only had a left side?"

"I've expanded my range."

You laughed despite yourself. "Character development."

"I'm very complex." He paused. "But seriously, you're really good at this. Like, really good."

You looked up at him, surprised by the genuine tone. "Thanks."

"Don't let it go to your head."

"Too late."

He smiled—that real one again, not the smirk—and walked away. You watched him go, then shook your head and went back to editing.

PRIVATE CHAT

-Keonho: hey

-Keonho: that video you took earlier

-Keonho: can you send it to me?

-You: the practice one?

-Keonho: yeah

-Keonho: i want to review my form

-You: [video file sent]

-Keonho: thanks, photographer

-You: anytime, left side only

-Keonho: 🙄

-Keonho: you're never gonna let that go huh

-You: never

-Keonho: good

-You: good?

-Keonho: means you'll keep thinking about me

-You: ...

-You: that was smooth

-You: i'm annoyed that it was smooth

-Keonho: 😏

One Month In

CORTIS FAM

-Martin: dinner tonight? that place with the good ramen

-James: i'm in

-Seonghyeon: yes please i'm starving

-Juhoon: +1

-Martin: Y/N you coming?

You paused, reading the message twice. They were inviting you to dinner. Not for work. Just... to hang out.

-You: are you sure? i don't want to intrude

-Seonghyeon: intrude??? you're literally part of the group now

-James: yeah we're not asking as staff

-James: we're asking as friends

-Juhoon: one of us one of us

-Keonho: stop being weird and just say yes

-You: okay okay yes

-You: what time?

-Martin: 7pm

-Martin: and Y/N?

-You: yeah?

-Martin: leave the camera at home

-You: ...i can do that

-You: probably

-Keonho: she's bringing the camera

-You: i'm NOT

-You: ...maybe just the small one

-James: CALLED IT

Dinner was easy. Natural. They bickered over menu items, told stories about their trainee days, included you in every conversation. At some point, Juhoon started a food fight with Seonghyeon, and Martin had to physically separate them while James filmed the whole thing.

"This is going in the group chat hall of fame," James announced.

"We have a hall of fame?" you asked.

"We do now."

Keonho was sitting next to you, and every time he laughed, his shoulder bumped yours. You tried not to think about it. Failed.

CORTIS FAM

-Martin: [photo of all six of you at dinner]

-Martin: family dinner success

-Seonghyeon: Y/N officially one of us now

-Juhoon: she paid for dessert so yeah she's locked in

-You: you guys TRICKED me into paying

-James: we prefer the term "strategically suggested"

-Keonho: you offered

-You: because you all stared at me with puppy eyes!

-Martin: and it worked

-Martin: sucker

-You: i'm never hanging out with you guys again

-Seonghyeon: yes you are

-Seonghyeon: you love us

-You: ...

-You: unfortunately

-Juhoon: THERE'S THAT WORD AGAIN

-Keonho: interesting

-You: i'm blocking all of you

Five Weeks In

The notifications wouldn't stop. You'd posted a simple behind-the-scenes video of the guys goofing off during a photoshoot, and suddenly your phone was exploding.

@cortis_behind | 2 hours ago [Video: All five members trying to pose seriously but breaking into laughter] Caption: attempt #47 at getting one serious photo 😂

@starrylights: WHOEVER RUNS THIS ACCOUNT I LOVE YOU

@keonhosno1fan: THE WAY KEONHO LOOKS AT THE CAMERA AT 0:15 ??? WHO IS BEHIND THE CAMERA

@cortis.archive: okay but can we talk about how good this content is

@martin.enthusiast: this account has made me love them even more

@jamesbiased: the QUALITY the VIBES the EVERYTHING

Twitter was worse.

@cortisfanbase: who is the person running @cortis_behind because they're literally giving us EVERYTHING

@keonho.pics: the way they capture the members' real personalities... we don't deserve this content

@cortisluvr: THEORY: it's a staff member who's really close with them because they're so comfortable around the camera

@seongfiles: whoever it is, they're basically the 6th member at this point

CORTIS FAM

-You: [screenshot of tweets] um

-Martin: OH SHIT

-James: YOU'RE FAMOUS

-Seonghyeon: "basically the 6th member" they're not wrong

-Juhoon: one of us one of us ONE OF US

-You: this is so weird

-Keonho: welcome to the club

-Keonho: now you know how it feels

-You: i'm just behind the camera! i'm not supposed to be noticed!

-Martin: too late

-Martin: you're one of us now

-Martin: suffer with us

-You: this is not what i signed up for

-James: sure it is

-James: you signed up to show the real us

-James: and the real us includes you now

You stared at your phone, something warm spreading through your chest.

-You: you guys are so annoying

-Seonghyeon: 💜

-Juhoon: love you too

-Martin: she's stuck with us now

-Keonho: could be worse

-You: could it though?

-Keonho: you could be stuck with OTHER people

-Keonho: we're at least entertaining

-You: that's one word for it

The comments kept coming. Fans started making compilation videos of moments where you could hear your voice in the background, or see your reflection in mirrors. Someone made a "Y/N laughing at Cortis" supercut. It had 100k views.

CORTIS FAM

-You: [link to compilation video] i'm going to die

-Martin: "Y/N LAUGHING COMPILATION"

-Martin: THEY GAVE YOU A COMPILATION

-Juhoon: you've made it

-James: this is iconic

-Seonghyeon: your laugh is cute though so i get it

-You: i'm never laughing on camera again

-Keonho: good luck with that

-Keonho: we're hilarious

-You: debatable

-Keonho: you laugh at everything i say

-You: i laugh AT you not WITH you

-Keonho: sure

-Martin: the flirting

-Martin: in the group chat

-Martin: bold

-You: NOT FLIRTING

-Keonho: NOT FLIRTING

-Juhoon: they're doing it again

Six Weeks In

Your phone lit up.

PRIVATE CHAT

-Keonho: you awake?

It was 11pm. You'd been editing photos in bed.

-You: yeah, editing

-You: why are you up?

-Keonho: can't sleep

-Keonho: kept thinking about the choreo for the new song

-You: the one you were working on today?

-Keonho: yeah

-Keonho: i can't get the transition right

-You: you looked good in practice though

-Keonho: you were watching?

-You: i mean

-You: i was literally filming you

-You: it's my job

-Keonho: right

-Keonho: your job

-You: ...yes?

-Keonho: what are you editing?

-You: photos from today

-You: want to see?

-Keonho: always

You sent him a photo—him mid-dance, completely in the zone.

-Keonho: okay that's actually really good

-You: i know

-Keonho: confident

-Keonho: i like it

-You: learned from the best

-Keonho: me?

-You: i was talking about martin

-Keonho: WOW

-You: 😂

-Keonho: you're mean

-You: you like it

-Keonho: ...

-Keonho: maybe

Your heart did a weird flip.

-You: maybe?

-Keonho: you keep me on my toes

-Keonho: it's fun

-You: fun?

-Keonho: yeah

-Keonho: you're fun

-You: oh

-Keonho: is that weird to say?

-You: no

-You: i think you're fun too

-Keonho: yeah?

-You: yeah

-You: even if you ruin half my shots

-Keonho: HALF is an exaggeration

-You: fine

-You: 45%

-Keonho: better

-Keonho: ...hey

-You: hey..?

-Keonho: i'm glad you're here

-Keonho: like, with us

-Keonho: it's better with you around

-You: keonho

-Keonho: too much?

-You: no

-You: i'm glad i'm here too

-Keonho: good

-Keonho: okay i should try to sleep

-You: good luck with the choreo tomorrow

-Keonho: thanks, photographer

-You: anytime, left side only

-Keonho: 😏

-Keonho: goodnight Y/N

-You: goodnight keonho

You stared at your phone for a solid five minutes after, rereading the conversation. Then you screenshot it and immediately felt like an idiot. But you didn't delete the screenshot.

The next morning, he texted again.

PRIVATE CHAT

-Keonho: [photo of his coffee]

-Keonho: good morning

-You: did you just send me a photo of coffee?

-Keonho: you send me photos all the time

-Keonho: thought i'd return the favor

-You: that's not how photography works

-Keonho: you're saying my coffee isn't photogenic?

-You: i'm saying you need better composition

-Keonho: teach me then

-You: are you asking for photography lessons?

-Keonho: i'm asking to spend more time with you

-Keonho: the photography is just an excuse

-You: oh

-Keonho: too honest?

-You: no

-You: i like honest

-Keonho: good

-Keonho: because i'm bad at subtle

-You: i've noticed

-Keonho: 😂

-Keonho: see you at practice?

-You: i'll be there

-Keonho: 📸

Over the next few days, Keonho started texting you outside the group chat more and more. Good morning texts. Random photos. Memes that made him think of you. Late night conversations when neither of you could sleep.

-Keonho: [photo of the sunset from his window]

-Keonho: thought you'd appreciate this

-You: the lighting is beautiful

-Keonho: knew you'd say that

-You: photographer brain never turns off

-Keonho: what are you doing right now?

-You: editing

-You: always editing

-Keonho: take a break

-You: can't, deadline tomorrow

-Keonho: fine

-Keonho: but you better eat dinner

-You: yes mom

-Keonho: i'm serious

-Keonho: you forget to eat when you're working

-You: how do you know that?

-Keonho: i pay attention

-You: oh

-Keonho: is that okay?

-You: yeah

-You: that's okay

You found yourself checking your phone constantly, waiting for his messages. The little typing bubble made your heart race. You started noticing things about him too—how he always made sure you ate, how he'd position himself in your frame even when he was teasing you about it, how his smile was different when it was directed at you.

-Keonho: random question

-You: okay?

-Keonho: what's your favorite thing to photograph?

-You: hmm

-You: honest answer?

-Keonho: always

-You: moments when people don't know they're being watched

-You: when they're just... themselves

-You: raw and real

-Keonho: like what?

-You: like you in the studio yesterday

-You: you were listening to the track with your eyes closed

-You: completely lost in it

-You: that's my favorite kind of moment

-Keonho: you didn't post that one

-You: some moments are just for me

-Keonho: can i see it?

-You: [photo sent]

-Keonho: wow

-Keonho: you made me look...

-You: what?

-Keonho: i don't know

-Keonho: like i matter

-You: you do matter

-You: keonho you're incredible

-Keonho: coming from you that means a lot

-You: why from me?

-Keonho: because you see things other people don't

-Keonho: you see the real stuff

-You: i see you

-Keonho: yeah

-Keonho: you do

You stared at your phone, chest tight. This felt like something. Something real.

Seven Weeks In

You were backstage at a music show, camera in hand, capturing the pre-performance chaos. The guys were getting their makeup touched up, running through vocal warm-ups, the usual routine.

You were reviewing shots on your camera when you felt someone watching you. You looked up.

Keonho was across the room, already in his stage outfit, but he wasn't looking at the mirror or his phone. He was looking at you. And his expression was... different. Soft. Open. Like he'd forgotten to put his usual mask on.

Your eyes met.

For a moment, everything else faded—the noise, the people, the chaos. It was just him, looking at you like you were the only person in the room. Like you mattered. Like you were something precious.

Then Martin called his name, and the moment broke. Keonho blinked, looked away, and the mask slipped back into place. But you'd seen it. That look.

Your hands were shaking slightly as you lowered your camera.

-Keonho: hey

The text came through a few minutes later.

-You: hey

-Keonho: sorry if that was weird

-You: what was weird?

-Keonho: staring at you like a creep

-You: you weren't

-You: it wasn't weird

-Keonho: no?

-You: no

-Keonho: good

-Keonho: because i can't really help it

-You: can't help what?

-Keonho: looking at you

-You: keonho

-Keonho: too much?

-You: no

-You: not too much

-Keonho: okay

-Keonho: good

-Keonho: i have to go on stage soon

-You: i know

-You: i'll be watching

-Keonho: from behind the camera?

-You: where else?

-Keonho: wish you could just watch

-Keonho: without working

-You: maybe someday

-Keonho: yeah

-Keonho: someday

The performance was incredible. You filmed it all, but you kept finding yourself just watching Keonho. The way he moved, the way he owned the stage, the way he glanced toward the wings where you were standing, like he was performing for you.

After, when they came off stage, breathless and high on adrenaline, Keonho walked straight to you.

"Did you get it?" he asked.

"Every second."

"Good." He smiled, that real smile. "Can't wait to see how you make us look."

"Like the stars you are," you said without thinking.

His smile widened. "Yeah?"

"Yeah."

Martin appeared, throwing an arm around both of you. "Group photo! Y/N, get in here."

"I'm supposed to take the photo—"

"Someone else can take it. Get in here."

Seonghyeon grabbed your camera, and suddenly you were squished between Keonho and Martin, all six of you crammed into frame. Keonho's arm was around your waist. You tried not to think about it.

"Say cheese!"

"CHEESE!"

The photo turned out perfect. All of you laughing, genuine, happy. A family.

You smiled at your phone, heart full. This was your family now. These five chaotic, wonderful, annoying people. And Keonho—Keonho was something else entirely. Something new and terrifying and exciting.

You stared at your phone, smiling so hard your cheeks hurt. Outside the coffee shop window, you could see Keonho walking toward you, two cups already in hand, that smile on his face—the real one, the one that was just for you.

This was your life now. Photographer, friend, unofficial sixth member of Cortis. And maybe, just maybe, something more with Keonho.

You couldn't wait to see what came next.

The sun was setting over Camp Half-Blood, streaking the sky in soft pinks and oranges. You sat on the dock by the lake, feet dangling over the edge, skimming the surface of the water. The wind teased your hair, but your mind was far from the calm scene in front of you.

You’d spent the whole summer at Percy’s side — sparring, sneaking out to steal nectar cookies from the Big House, laughing until you couldn’t breathe. And yet… lately, something had shifted.

He’d been spending more time with Silena and the other Aphrodite kids, laughing at things you weren’t part of. You told yourself it was nothing. Percy was your best friend. That was all.

But gods, it hurt.

You didn’t hear him approach until he sat down beside you, close enough that your shoulders touched. You stiffened, just slightly.

"Hey," Percy said, voice gentle. "You’ve been kinda MIA today."

"Just needed some air," you muttered, eyes fixed on the water.

"You mad at me?" he asked, joking at first—but then his voice softened. "Or… did I do something?"

You hesitated. You weren’t the type to spill your feelings. But something about the quiet lake and the dying sunlight made you braver.

"I just…" you started, breath hitching. "I guess I didn’t realize you needed someone else to keep you company now."

There was a long pause. Then Percy let out a low breath. "Wait. Are you talking about Silena?"

You didn’t answer. The silence spoke for you.

Percy leaned back on his hands, eyes on the horizon. “She’s been trying to set me up with someone,” he said. “That’s why I’ve been around her so much. She’s convinced I have a ‘thing’ for someone and she’s being all Aphrodite about it.”

You blinked. “A thing?”

His eyes met yours. “Yeah. For someone who’s been driving me crazy for years. Someone who makes it impossible to think straight when they smile at me.”

Your breath caught in your throat.

"Someone who wears that camp shirt like it’s armor, but looks like they'd rather be kissed than fight sometimes."

You laughed, shaky and confused. "Are you… are you talking about me?"

Percy smiled—wide, nervous, like he was diving into the deep end. “Yeah. I thought it was obvious.”

Your heart thudded. “Well, it wasn’t.”

“I’m kind of an idiot,” he admitted.

“A huge idiot.”

He grinned and reached for your hand, threading his fingers through yours like he’d done it a thousand times in his head already.

“Can I fix it?” he asked, voice low. “Because I’ve been dying to kiss you since, like, the first time you beat me in capture the flag.”

You raised an eyebrow. “You’re just saying that because I had help from the Hermes cabin.”

"Doesn’t matter. You looked unstoppable. And kind of hot, not gonna lie."

You laughed, cheeks flushing, but didn’t pull your hand away. “Then fix it.”

Percy leaned in slowly, gaze flicking between your eyes and your lips, giving you time to pull back if you wanted to—but you didn’t.

When he kissed you, it was soft, tentative, like he was afraid you’d disappear. You kissed him back, anchoring yourself in the warmth of his hands, the scent of sea salt on his skin.

The moment stretched like summer — endless, golden, and just a little wild.

When he pulled back, he rested his forehead against yours. “So… want to ditch campfire and sneak off to the beach with me?”

You smirked. “That’s not very hero-like of you.”

“I’m off-duty. Tonight, I’m just a guy trying to make his best friend fall in love with him.”

You rolled your eyes. “You idiot. I already did.”

He kissed you again, this time deeper, more sure. The lake rippled behind you, catching the last light of the day — and maybe, just maybe, you finally felt like you were exactly where you were supposed to be.

The sandy beach felt warm beneath your feet as you and Percy made your way towards the water's edge. The camp was far behind you now, its sounds and lights faded into the distance. All that remained was the soft crash of waves and the cool breeze off the lake.

Percy turned to face you, his light blue ocean eyes dark with desire. "I've wanted this for so long," he murmured, pulling you close. His strong arms wrapped around your waist as his lips found yours in a searing kiss.

You melted into him, feeling the heat of his body through the thin fabric of his shirt. Your hands roamed over his broad chest and shoulders, exploring the contours of his muscles. Percy groaned into your mouth, his tongue tangling with yours as he deepened the kiss.

Breathless, you broke away and started walking backwards towards the lapping waves. Percy followed, a hungry gleam in his eyes. You reached up to peel off your camp shirt, letting it fall open to reveal the smooth skin beneath. Percy's gaze darkened as he took in the sight of you, half-naked under the moonlight.

"I've fantasized about this," he rasped, reaching out to trail a finger along the curve of your breast. "About peeling this shirt off of you and worshipping every inch of your body."

Your breath hitched as his touch sent sparks of pleasure through you. You let your bra slip off your shoulders and onto the sand, leaving you bare from the waist up. The cool night air pebbled your nipples, making them strain towards Percy's heated gaze.

"Then do it," you challenged, voice low and breathy. "Worship me, Percy Jackson."

A rumble of desire escaped him as he captured your lips again, hands roaming over your exposed skin. He cupped your breasts, thumbs circling your hardened peaks until you gasped against his mouth. His teeth nipped at your bottom lip before trailing kisses along your jaw and down the column of your throat.

Percy dropped to his knees in front of you, continuing his path of worship. He pressed open-mouthed kisses to your collarbone, the valley between your breasts, the quivering plane of your stomach. You threaded your fingers through his dark hair, holding him to you as pleasure coiled tight in your core.

When his tongue flicked over one sensitive nipple, you cried out, head falling back. Percy groaned at the taste of you, sucking and laving until you were writhing beneath his skilled mouth. He lavished the same attention on the other breast until you were panting with need.

Percy leaned back, eyeing the remaining clothes you both still wore. With a wicked grin, he stood and reached for his belt. "You're overdressed for the beach, don't you think?"

You swallowed hard, pulse racing at the promise in his eyes. Slowly, teasingly, you reached for the fastenings of your shorts, shimmying them down your hips along with your underwear. Percy groaned at the sight of you bare and wanting before him.

His own clothes joined yours on the sand, leaving him just as naked as you were. The moonlight gilded his skin and highlighted the hard planes of his body. You couldn't stop your gaze from wandering over his toned chest, the ridges of his abs, the impressive length of him jutting proudly from a thatch of dark curls.

"Gods," Percy breathed, reaching for you. "You're beautiful."

You crashed into him, skin to skin, lips seeking his with desperate need. Percy walked you backwards until you felt the lapping waves against your legs. He lifted you easily, wrapping your legs around his waist as he carried you deeper into the water.

The cool lake soothed your overheated skin as Percy lowered you onto his rigid length. You both moaned at the sensation, your slick walls stretching to accommodate him. He started moving, thrusting deep and slow, setting a delicious rhythm that had you clinging to his shoulders.

"Fuck," Percy gasped against your neck. "You feel incredible."

You couldn't respond, lost in the pleasure cresting through you with each snap of his hips. The water around you churned as Percy powered into you, chasing his release. His fingers dug into your hips as he ground against your clit with each pass.

It wasn't long before you felt your orgasm building, your inner walls starting to flutter around him. "Percy," you panted. "I'm going to--"

"Yes," he groaned. "Come for me, baby. Let go."

With a cry of his name, you did just that, your body seizing around his as ecstasy crashed through you. Percy followed moments later, spilling deep inside you with a hoarse shout.

You clung to him as you both came down from your highs, panting and trembling in the aftermath. Percy cradled you close, pressing gentle kisses to your face as he stroked your damp hair.

"That was… incredible," he murmured. "I love you so much."

Your heart swelled at his words, a smile curving your lips. "I love you too, Percy Jackson."

I've been reading ur content for some time and I LOVE IT.

See ya, Alk🐿️

(also, can u pls tag me if u write it?)

The silence between games was always the loudest.

You sat in the corner of the room, back pressed to the cold wall, eyes heavy with sleep you weren’t brave enough to take. Around you, soft breathing, occasional sobs, and the distant murmur of whispered alliances filled the air. But next to you—she was louder than any of it.

Se-Mi.

Not in words. Not right now. Her usual shrill confidence had dulled into something quieter—something that didn’t fit the woman you’d seen openly reject the 'rapper' Thanos.

She sat beside you, her legs drawn up, arms resting on her knees, chin tilted toward the ceiling as if asking it for a way out.

“Can’t sleep?” you asked softly.

Her eyes flicked toward you. That sharp, calculating glint wasn’t there today. Just exhaustion.

“Nah,” she muttered. “I blink too long, I start dreaming about the Mingle game again.."

You nodded. You had nightmares about the same thing. Falling. Screaming. That final, stomach-lurching silence.

“I didn’t think you were afraid of anything,” you said, a small smile playing at your lips. “You’ve screamed at a man twice your size and survived.”

She chuckled dryly, without looking at you. “Yeah, well. That’s the trick. Be loud so no one notices how scared you are.”

There was something honest about her in this moment. No dramatics. No lies. Just a woman—tired, trapped, and trying to stay human.

You shifted, your shoulder brushing against hers. She didn’t pull away.

“You can lean on me if you want,” you offered. “Just for a bit.”

Se-mi turned her head slowly. Her eyes searched your face for a punchline, something sarcastic, something cruel. But you didn’t give her one.

She scoffed, almost like she didn’t believe you—but then her body moved closer anyway. She rested her head on your shoulder, the weight of her surprising, grounding.

You felt her sigh more than you heard it. Like she was deflating.

“I hate this place,” she whispered.

“I know.”

“I hate that I have to be someone else just to survive. That I had to be loud, obnoxious, shameless… like that’s the only way anyone would keep me around.”

You hesitated, then turned your head slightly to rest your cheek against her hair. “You don’t have to be any of that with me.”

She was quiet again. For a moment, you thought she’d fallen asleep.

Then:

“Why are you nice to me?” she asked, voice barely audible. “Even after everything. Even after I was rude to you on the first day?"

You didn’t answer right away. Because the truth was complicated.

“I see you,” you said finally. “Not just the part you show everyone. I see you fighting. Clawing your way through hell. You’re still here, Se-Mi. That’s more than most can say.”

She went still against you.

And then, slowly, almost imperceptibly, she reached for your hand.

Her fingers curled around yours—rough, trembling, real.

In a world that wanted to break her, she’d found someone who didn’t want to win. Just survive. Maybe even together.

For the first time in days, you let your eyes close.

She didn’t let go.
