@thegodspawn​ gets this bc i say so :D 

The urge to open his arms and hold her close, tell her that everything would be fine was overwhelming. But they both knew that Helen’s visits to the Underworld were their only option and pretending otherwise wouldn’t make anything better. He couldn’t take her pain away or bear the weight on her shoulders and this thought, the powerlessness it implied, hurted him the most. Seeing her smile despite the suffering and even offering comfort felt like a knife being plunged into his chest. “I suppose I’m not”, Lucas uttered eventually, his gaze dropping to a point on the floor, Yet I am alone, a voice inside him screamed. We all are. His family had their own struggles to deal with and he would never want to burden them with his. With the darkness slowly creeping in and new talents he had to master, once again on his own. A deep sigh escaped him and then he managed a smile, a broken, defeated one that surely wouldn’t convince her. “And I hope you know that I’m still here too. If there’s anything I can do, a way to assist you ...” Not that he hadn’t already bothered his head about it tirelessly, searching for such ways.

     “  i’ve  heard  about  you ,  don’t  flatter  yourself .  ”  the  titan  walks  the  streets  of  sparta  completely  aware  that  his  presence  meant  HELL  ON  EARTH  to  everyone  that  knew  the  gods’  story .  he’s  not  welcomed  nor  will  he  ever  be ,  but  the  feeling  of  defiance  consumes  him .

           The God listens to the demi-god with such interest he couldn’t find it in many mortals. Helen grew up in an environment he was too familiarised with, but instead of resulting in pure anger and revolt, she’d chosen the other path. “ ...LOVE, Helen? ” The word left such a bitter taste in his mouth he’d not dare to say it often. “ Too fragile, love can easily tear you apart and soon you’ll be cursing the world. ” Speaking from his own experience.

“I am”, he replied calmly and her sight alone, sad and confused as she looked at him, was enough to make his heart bleed all over again. Helen wasn’t supposed to be here, everything waited for her in the world he’d just left behind. So why did she come? The answer formed in his mind, but Lucas refused to finish the thought. It would have no use after all. Even if she’d come for him, there was no way to revoke the deal he’d made. “But you shouldn’t be here, Helen. They need you.” 

@thegodspawn : INCORRECT QUOTES ( ft. Helen & Lucas )

He swallowed hard and tried his best to bring some distance between them. But they were still dangerously close, always on the thin line between the reality of who they were and a dark desire that shouldn’t exist. “I know.” Only a murmur, as Lucas barely trusted his own voice yet.  “I-  I should go ...” The words trailed off and guilt suddenly ate him up at the pained expression on Helen’s face. His father had been right. He needed to be stronger, for both of their sakes. Her mission was much more important than what was happening between them and he had to keep his distance to not make this whole situation even more torturous.
