The thing that makes me mad about finding cool quotes/references to use as titles or some such for stories is they're basically impossible to consciously look for. Sure you can just Google "cool quotes" or something but it's just gonna return stuff that everyone knows. By nature the coolest quotes always come from things that you read/watch/listen to and are drawn towards, maybe not even realizing why you're drawn to them. You can't "look for" cool quotes because by nature the coolest quotes are the ones that are cool to you personally. So ultimately the only reliable way to find profound phrases/references is to consume a lot of art and find the things that are meaningful through sheerly opening your mind and trying new things

listen to me — chapter 26
 LISTEN TO ME — 0026
listen to me masterlist;
WORDS: 1.4K
(a/n: well, its kinda short, but here it is, i have another chapter done and i’m already writing more)
Tumblr media
Jinah didn't hesitate to follow Jisung park inside. She liked to visit that place from time to time, especially at night, when the big circular lights at the top of the poles were lit and lit the grass, the tiles and the varnished wooden benches. The smell of sweet popcorn took over the air thanks to the salesmen who stood at strategic points, attracting the clientele that passed by. There was also a hot dog vendor in the background, children riding bicycles while their parents talked and hurried people crossing the sidewalk without paying much attention to them, probably longing to get home soon.
A little smirk adorned Jinah's face. She looked like a teenager full of hormones looking for a place to kiss and no one could see. That's how she did it when she didn't want her parents to give her a scold. Nostalgia defined the moment.
"Why are you smiling like this?" — asked Jisung, although the corners of his lips were also merely inclined. The best of all was that Choi had lost all the remnants of her dejected expression of minutes ago.
"Better smile than cry, no? And also because it's cool that you've become more malleable" — Jinah started to play with the tip of her tie, which by that point was already loose around the collar of her white shirt. — "If a few days ago I asked you for a kiss, you probably wouldn't even pay attention or even panic."
"Have you heard that saying?" — Jisung absently watched the children playing hide-and-seek on the other side. — "If you can't beat them, join them."
Jinah made a sad face: — "I thought it was because you liked the kiss."
"I never said otherwise."
"But you just implied that you're only doing this because I'm very insistent."
Jisung turned his head to look at her: — "Seriously, are you going to start problematizing right now?"
"I'm not problematizing" — okay, Jinah was really problematizing, but she only did it for tantrums. It was a day when she was needy. — "I just said what I think."
The boy sighed and surrendered to the characteristic expression of a spoiled child. He could distinguish the features of amusement in Choi's tone of voice, so he was aware that all this was due to the fact that he hadn't yet inflated her ego. Every now and then, the girl was no good.
"Your kiss is very good, if you want to know," — he confessed. — "And I don't need your insistence to want to repeat, that's it."
Jinah chuckled, the satisfaction expressed in her face: — "The years of practice were worth it."
"You must've kissed everyone, right, you naughty?"
"I had mouth, they too..." — she shrugged, as if that alone was the explanation of everything. — "Are you going to say that you haven't passed the squeegee either?"*
"Only if it is passing the squeegee* to the ground, after having wetted it all with my tears."
"But at least Woojin you kissed, right?" — because if there was a person who wouldn't let anyone pass, like, really no one, that person was Kim Woojin.
"Just once," — replied Jisung, moving toward the part of the park that was the artificial little lake, where almost no one was concentrated because the illumination wasn't very good, but the view of the moon and stars remained beautiful. — "I didn't want much because, at that time, Chaerin and he were almost dating, do you believe it? If I had known that, I would've kissed him right."
"I think I just met him about three years after that" — Jinah frowned as she tried to remember, but she was awful when it came to dates.
"You kissed him, too?"
"Of course."
Sometimes Jisung wondered how Kim still hadn't got a disease, it was impressive.
"I feel like the Virgin Mary next to you both," — he said as he stopped in front of one of the few benches that lay there. Only a couple occupied the same environment as the two of them, but they seemed extremely enveloped in their little world to give some importance to their surroundings.
"Ah, but if your problem is a lack of kisses, you can let me handle it."
"I'm waiting for the day that you won't be so sassy."
"Then, you can wait sitting down" — Jinah chuckled and shortened the distance, making no ceremony to press her lips long against the boy's. — "Even 'cause somebody has to have attitude here, right?"
"Are you saying I have no attitude?" — Jisung felt indignant, and it was he himself who gave the idea of going where they were at that moment.
"No, but if the shoe fits..."
Jinah tried to block a new smile when she felt the boy's hands pull her face into another kiss. At first it was just another peck, but, as Choi melted at the touch and brought her hands to the other's waist, Jisung parted his lips and slipped his tongue into her mouth.
The feeling of kissing Jinah was indescribable. Her tongue was so soft it spread a sense of relaxation to the boy's whole body. As the angles changed during the kiss, wet stalks were reproduced along with sighs that eventually escaped, as the shortness of breath was soon present, but both tried to breathe through the nose to prolong the moment.
Jisung's hands came down from Jinah's face and fell onto her shoulders, then continued down the path until reached her waist and squeezed the area lightly. Conversely, the girl's hands climbed up to the back of Han's neck and she stuffed her fingers into his hair, causing a chill. When they were forced to break out of the contact, Jisung bit Jinah's lower lip and pulled until the girl was panting, not slow to start another kiss, followed by another, another and another.
But of course: after that, karma made a point of acting.
Jisung and Jinah split up as a loud "YES" reached their ears. They looked to the side and realized that one of the members of the couple who were kissing in the dark was none other than Woojin himself, what made Jisung roll his eyes and stick his head in the curve of Jinah's fragrant neck, who ended up laughing of the situation.
Without a shadow of a doubt, Kim Woojin was really impressive.
                              ♡˖°
The clock ticked almost nine in the evening when Jisung parked the car in front of Jinah's apartment. He had insisted that he'd take her and all Choi could do was thank for her crush be a bourgeois, considering that riding in that black car was a lot more comfortable than on that motorbike that only made her embarassed.
"You look beautiful with those swollen lips," — Jinah noticed as she took off her seatbelt and turned around to face Jisung. They hadn't cared so much about the presence of Woojin and the person who was with him, though Kim had made it clear that he was there every five minutes, and they kept kissing until their facial muscles were tired.
"You're not much different" — Jisung's eyes fell on Jinah's reddish lips for a moment. — "Now I'm going to have to be feeling that strawberry taste," — he referred to the sweet lipstick moisturizer that was consequently transferred to his mouth.
"As if you didn't like it."
"As if you were sure of that."
"Then know that I am sure" — Jinah approached and sucked Jisung's lower lip, repeating the act the boy had often made with her while they were still in the park. — "Otherwise, you wouldn't have done it so many times."
Han was so intoxicated by the feeling he had no reason to disprove. He already loved the girl's voice, even more so when whispered like that.
"Maybe I like it a little bit."
Jinah just chuckled and looked up. From there she could see the window open and the kitchen light on.
"Do you want to have dinner before you go?" — she invited, thinking of Jade's idiotic rage of Jisung. Jinah wanted to bring him closer to her friends, but she saw no other way of doing this than putting them in the same environment to learn to live with each other's company. — "It's late, you must be hungry."
The boy would be lying if he said otherwise, but he still felt a bit uncomfortable with that kind of situation.
"I don't think your friend will like it very much."
"So what? She's not the only owner of this apartment" — Jinah opened the door and left the vehicle, waiting for the boy to mimic her gesture. — "And, for your luck, there's chicken pizza today."
And that was when Jisung couldn't refuse.
Tumblr media
* PASS THE SQUEEGEE: idk a lot of slangs in english and idk if there’s a slang in english for that, and if it does, somebody let me know pls. but pass the squeegee in portuguese it’s like, “oh, (s)he goes out with a lot of guys/girls; (s)he has kissed several guys/girls, so (s)he really passes the squeegee”. idk where it came from but we really use it alot lmao

I had an idea at school based on the song ‘Forest’ by Twenty One Pilots. That mixed with my angsty and unhappy mood left me with an idea with no happy ending dealing with Sanders Sides and Fae. This is not a fic, but it’s long enough to be one, It’s just an explanation of the sad idea  Warning: Major (extreme) character death; kinda graphic descriptions; please don’t read if you’re not okay with death and those things. if i didn’t tag things (idk what to tag) please !! tell!! me!!
it’s under the cut
the idea was that well
it takes place in some medieval word
Logan, Virgil, Patton, and Dee go missing, and first it's Logan, then Patton, and Virgil and Dee go at the same time
Logan had gone into the forest as he made a habit of it, going there to write.
“I don't wanna be heard
I want to be listened to”
He is approached, and not suspecting
anything, he talks with this person (fae) and he's being listened to and it's good and is such a release- and he offers to meet this person again, "Sure thing, may I have your name if we are to meet again?" and Logan gives it.
“That someone else has your name?
Does it bother anyone else
That someone else has your name, your name?”
Logan doesn't return. Months pass and Patton goes out looking. He's told not to, but he does. He is looking, and finds something sticking from the ground, and it's Logan, chest and down is under the ground somehow. Chest up is out, and he's growing branches on his body and bark and vines and branches are entangled around him and he's becoming just another tree in the forest- Patton goes to help because it's Logan, and Logan cries out for Patton to run- and Patton does when he hears a noise (as he runs he hears Logan's cries silenced as his mouth is held shut by more vines).
Patton runs for what feels like days and he's tired and hungry- and he finds an apple tree in a clearing.
“I took some food for thought
It might be poisoned”
The apples are the most beautiful golden color and look so good- and he's so hungry he doesn't think twice and he takes one and takes a bite. He immediately throws up the apple- the apple chunks going black. He curls up in pain under the tree.
Patton can no longer leave the clearing- and doesn’t return.
Virgil and Dee are the ones who go next to search for Logan and Patton, again weeks to months later. They go together and eventually run across Logan, as Patton had. Logan’s eyes are white and he’s almost….eternally crying and he can’t move, covered in moss and branches and bark- still planted in the ground. He doesn’t respond to when Virgil and Dee shout his name- he just cries, his cries silenced by more branches. Dee tries to pull the bark and branches off- but they tighten as he do and Logan gives a pained noise and they back off, planning to come back and help.
They then find Patton, strung up by shimmering strings to the apple tree. He seems happy- but not. The fae had stitched his face up into a smile, his mouth up his eyebrows, and he seems forever happy.
His body is littered in mouths that don’t stop eating the apples around him, but Patton himself is oh so hungry and starving. They try to help, but find that they can’t pull away the strings- and Patton keeps trying to offer and force them to eat the apples and they run off, seeing as Patton can’t follow. They decide that they need to get out of the damn forest and tell Roman- there’s no saving Logan and Patton. They try to go back- but the forest doesn’t end and they can’t seem to leave. They’re terrified, jumpy, holding onto each other.
“I scream, you scream, we all scream
'Cause we're terrified of what's around the corner
We stay in place
'Cause we don't wanna lose our lives
So let's think of something better”
They are terrified- and walk right past a line of soft grass and into a clear puddle of water, perfectly circular- and they walk forward and stop- bumping into something. They’re stuck inside of a fae circle, and then are suddenly in pain and both drop and scream.
They also don’t return home.
That leaves Roman, who now having lost his four best friends (or boyfriends), walks into the forest with nothing left to lose. He finds Logan, again unresponsive, just crying as he’s taken by the forest. He finds patton, who’s happy stitching seems to have come loose, so half his face is held up happy, and the other half he’s sobbing because he’s so hungry, and he tells Roman not to take the apples and begs him to leave.
He then finds….someone in a puddle of water kneeling. They’re holding their head, staring at their reflection. (They look...kinda like DeVil, but not at all good, distraught and unhinged). Roman approaches- but before he steps passed the grass the person looks up and yells at him to stop. Virgil and Dee had been almost shoved together into one person, their voice layered.
“Quickly moving towards a storm
Moving forward, torn
Into pieces over reasons of what these storms are for
I don't understand why everything I adore
Takes a different form when I squint my eyes
Have you ever done that?
When you squint your eyes
And your eyelashes make it look a little not right
And then when just enough light
Comes from just the right side
And you find you're not who you're supposed to be?”
Parts of them shift and he’s torn and can't leave the circle and he looks back at the reflection and begs for Roman to get out of there if he could.
Roman tries to go back, and he makes it so close, he can see the lining of the trees and the path beyond- but he falls down a slope on the way and slides down, and the edging gets further and he runs and it gets further and further and then, he’s stuck with trees all around him and silence and nothing and he swears he can hear the cries of his friends and he falls down and shouts and screams and he hears singing and crying and he doesn’t know what to do- and then he has an idea, and at this point he’s not all...there things are weird and changing and he swears he can hear the trotting of horses and the trail, or the laughter of Patton or the talking of Virgil and Dee or the soft chuckles of Logan but there’s nothing there and his friends are trapped and mishapen.
He takes something from in his pocket- and the lights a dry leave on fire and he swears he can hear millions of screams and it’s deafening- and he’s shocked and he moves back- right passed a ring of stones and then the screams continue as more things catch alight and it’s loud and he can’t take it- and around him things get closer and he can see all his friends and he watches as things burn and he hears screams and laughter and he’s stuck too-
“Something happened to my imagination
This situation's becoming dire
My tree house is on fire
And for some reason I smell gas on my hands
This is not what I had planned
This is not what I had planned
Down in the forest
We'll sing a chorus
Hands held higher
We'll be on fire
Singing songs that nobody wrote
Down in the forest
We'll sing a chorus
One that everybody knows
Hands held higher
We'll be on fire
Singing songs that nobody wrote
Hands held higher
We'll be on fire
Hands held higher
We'll be on fire”
Angst
No good ending.
They all are dead. Maybe.
I had the idea that perhaps Roman then is forcefully made into a fae- made to reside in the forest where his friends died- and he burnt the place, and he’s trapped and stuck and well….forgets, after centuries and centuries the forest makes him forget and he becomes the entity in the forest to cause grievance to others.

halfblood joonie
guess what my school computer has a blue screen lol what is this i dont understand what’s going on
not gonna lie i would rather be updating my nct blog because those are written scenarios and i prefer writing that way because i feel like it actually shows my ability but i owe it to you guys to get something out there
my mark lee thing can wait yikes :((
anyway demigod joonie was the most requested?? and i was like
THE SCREEN CHANGED
anyway i was gonna do like birth order but here we are now, doing namjoon
which is fine because i love namjoon
okay so if you guys couldn’t guess
namjoon is the son of athena
how could he not be??
the stereotype was always like blond hair and gray eyes but nah fam me and namjoon both don’t fit that stereotype and we are athena kids
but in this au namjoon is gonna have that off blond hair like there was that one photoshoot and there is a specific image in mind but it’s like sandy blond and it’s always messy because he constantly runs his hands through his hair when he’s thinking so always a mess but a nice mess because cutie
and he wears the big wire rimmed glasses that aren’t perfectly circular but almost like a bowl shape kind of thing?? like rounded at the bottom but then straight at the top or only a little bent is this making sense i bet it isn’t lol
he’s that kid that always wears the camp half blood tee with skinny jeans and some obscure accessory like idk a scarf or hat
and the aphrodite kids sit there and constantly roast him for his fashion sense but jin always scolds them and says that namjoon is a pure cutie bean who must be protected…
okay but backstory time because hell yah i love backstories
namjoon’s dad was a professor at a local college and he was a genius so it was no suprise that athena was attracted to him
unlike jin’s situation, athena and namjoon dad’s romance was a fleeting thing, and it only lasted but a few months
both of them were too proud and too headstrong to admit actual feelings or that they needed each other
but i personally believe that you don’t just have one true love, you love a lot of people in your life and it’s okay to love and be loved more than once and the mentality that you should save love for the true one actually pisses me off not gonna lie to you
and like they were in love and maybe it wasn’t the strongest love and maybe it wasn’t the truest love but it was still love regardless
athena kids are thought of like that’s how the athena kids happen i remember because percy was like do you have a belly button??
so athena was like you’re different than all my previous lovers and i think our child should be different too and that explains why namjoon naturally has black hair and brown eyes, not the usual blond and gray thing going on
when athena and his dad split up, things were kinda not amazing
his dad didn’t want to think about the relationship and about athena and so he just kind of chose to selectively forget about it
and so he doesn’t tell namjoon that he is a half blood
he tells namjoon that his mom and him were a college thing and that she didn’t want to deal with a child because she needed to finish her schooling whereas namjoon’s father was graduating
namjoon never felt a bitterness towards his birth mom but he always had the want to meet her one day and just have a conversation with her and have some sort of relationship with her…
his dad got married when namjoon was fairly young, in the third grade, and his stepmom and dad had three kids so namjoon has a bunch of half siblings
he really loves his family though, like he was extremely close to them especially his brother who’s the middle child out of the three half siblings
namjoon never felt out of place with them but there was always that longing to meet his mother that never went away
and guess what namjoon gets that chance
by age ten namjoon has already attracted numerous monsters, despite his dad’s efforts to mask his scent by marrying someone else and spraying febreeze in the house every two seconds
namjoon is already an extremely gifted and powerful demigod, already exhibiting powers that mimic something like telekinesis, and monsters have started to take notice
but namjoon, our clumsy bean child namjoon, always has a way of avoiding any harm
it’s because athena has her eye on him constantly and she’s always doing her best to make sure he’s safe
so like one day for instance, he’s walking home from the school bus and this monster comes at him and athena was posing as mom waiting for her kid or something and as soon as namjoon looked away she pulverized that monster into dust
but she seriously underestimates her child
because at age eleven namjoon is like boy genius and he notices the same lady always around and he’s like yikes creeper alert maybe??
so one day instead of you know, telling his dad, he confronts her down at the dollar store where he’s going to by his siblings some candy with his allowance money
idk the dollar store is within walking distance from my dads so this makes a lot of sense to me like this a very valid and relevant point in my mind okay so um like
anyway she senses another monster attack so she’s posing as a cashier and namjoon just kinda heads over to her counter and slams his five dollar bill on the table and he’s like
“we have the same eyes i think”
“also i see you around all the time”
and he just blinks up at her with big inquisitive eyes and she’s like oh sh-
and she’s like well i cannot just tell this kid that i’m his mom but i can at least get him to safety right??
and she’s like i gotta talk about this demigod thing but
suddenly a horde of monsters appear from the aisles and athena is like there is no time and so she uses her goddess powers to transport them to the boundaries of camp half blood
and she’s like look i know you’re probably scared and confused and worried but you need to go past this boundary here and you’ll find help i promise, but i need to get going, i’m not allowed to be this attached to you-
and she ushers namjoon past the border but then she’s gone and namjoon is like what the duck is this about
he doesn’t know if he should run back out and chase after her or if he should move forward and explore but maybe he should cry? always a valid option??
he just stands there dumbly and he feels like maybe he will cry because he doesn’t understand what’s going on but he wants to be home with his dad, not standing in the middle of god(s) only know where
but alas his saving grace arrives
it’s you
you’re the saving grace
you’re also a younger demigod and you’re in the hermes cabin currently because you haven’t been claimed and you’re just kind of wandering around camp because you still are a little !! about this whole demigod thing and you need some time to adjust
but you see namjoon standing there and you’re like !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
you run over and stare at him for a few seconds and you then grab his hand and you’re like we gotta find chiron
“you mean the centaur from greek mythology”
and you smile and nod excitedly “well duh, you are at camp half blood”
“what now”
“that place where all the kids if the greek gods and goddesses chill to escape the monsters in the mortal world? seriously how did you get here if you don’t know what this is”
so namjoon tells you his story and you’re holding his hand because small kids and you’re like oh i see i see okay i got it
and then you take him to see chiron and you’re like hello this is a new camper his name is joonie
and namjoon is like actually- but chiron is so busy welcoming him and all that he never really gets to say his official name (is that the right word probably not lol) isn’t joonie but whatever
anyway you stay by namjoon’s side while he gets the explanation of the whole demigod thing
and you’re the one who takes him to the hermes cabin and you’re like yes you can have your bed under my bed because we are basically best friends now!! and ofc namjoon agrees
he’s the kid who sits up really fast and bangs his head on the bunk above him
i actually fell off the top bunk once but that is another story
you and namjoon become bros and all the older demigods think it’s so adorable how you two always waddle around camp together and challenge everyone to duels and riddles and the likes
but then namjoon gets claimed
oh yes namjoon gets claimed one day when you two are sparring and it’s been a while now since he’s arrived at camp and you know what being claimed means
it means that namjoon isn’t gonna be your bunk mate anymore and it means that he’ll be at a new cabin with new siblings and he’ll probably end up forgetting about you or something
and your small brain is not about to let that happen no siree so you fail to mention the glowing emblem above namjoon’s head
you think that it would like go away eventually but it’s been thirty minutes now since it first appeared so um yikes a daisy it probably won’t go away anytime soon but you are not about to lose namjoon
while you’re sitting there debating what to do, one of the athena kids (is it annabeth chase, my queen, my hero, my everything)
no another athena kid comes over and they’re like duDE UM!!
and you’re like b i t c h do you wanna throw down
and namjoon is like wait what’s going on what’s happening am i dying or something
and the athena kid is like no, well yes, we are all technically dying, but i mean you’re our new sibling
“our”
“the athena cabin, i’m sorry”
and namjoon’s eyes light up and he’s so excited and you’re like who am i to take this happiness from him
you don’t walk with him to meet up with chiron or anything, you go sulk in the hermes cabin tbh and kick his bunk and then whine when it hurts your foot
but guess what guys
guess what
guess who comes back later
you right
it’s namjoon
he waves to you and you’re like !!
“i missed you already, you wanna keep sparing. i already got my new bunk set up and all. it’s not as fun around here without you”
and then you run into his arms but he is not expecting that and he tries to catch you but that doesn’t really go so hot and he ends up toppling backwards with you crashing down on top of him
based on true events in case you’re wondering
you knew from that day on that you and najoon were inseparable
fast forward many years so you are out of the awkward small child phase which isn’t awkward really because it isn’t middle school yet
you got claimed by your godly parent so neither you or namjoon are in the hermes cabin anymore!!
but you still are thick as thieves get it lol because hermes cabin-
okay anyway
i dont wanna be generic with all of these so guess what
in media res my dudes, on media res
behold you and namjoon are on a quest and guess who else is there it;s hoseok and yoongi and you guys are having a blast because yoongi nearly managed to become the captive bride of the god of the west wind
hoseok kidnapped a dog and he keeps the thing in his shirt when you guys are setting up camp for the night so he won’t be cold
namjoon almost became a gang lord down in southern new york
you had to fight off rampant cereal gods when the others were going to take a group bathroom break
you and namjoon are sharing a sleeping back
wait what
hoseok somehow managed to burn his and yoongi was like you can’t sleep with me you freak, im still mad you love that dog more than me anyhow and hoseok was all excuse me are you trash talking our child
they were so busy bickering and whining and namjoon, the designated squad leader, was not having it, and so he’s like hoseok here just take mine okay
and then you were like but joonie what about you
and hoseok was all like share
namjoon looked to yoongi hopelessly and yoongi just flipped him off
“excuse me, how;s jungkook gonna feel when he knows you’re trying to win me over”
and you kinda “well i mean i guess we can share”
and hoseok is like “wow what are the odds you’re the only person with the huge two person sleeping bag haha #crazy”
yes he said the word hashtag
but namjoon is all stamerry and blushy and it’s so funny because the super composed, super calculating, super strategic son of athena is at a loss for words and it’s
#crazy
and yoongi is like wow i guess hoseok will take the first watch then
and hoseok is like wow that’s so sweet of you for volunteering-
yoongi smirks and curls up in his sleeping bag and yawns and slips off into dreamland and hoseok is pouting but he starts patrol duty with his puppy safely poking his head out the top of his shirt
and namjoon kinda gives you this look and you shrug “it’s not any different than that time we had to share a bunk when connor and broke the one and they needed extra room you know?”
except it is very different because namjoon is in l o v e with you and he doesn’t want to share a sleeping bag because he might do something weird like try to hold your hand or sleep talk about you and that would not be a good time
but he curls up in the sleeping bag and he motions for you to join and you’re like okay chill nice not like i like namjoon or anything haha
you snuggle up beside him and you’re like are two person sleeping bags even a real thing
they are confirmed
you guys refuse to speak and you can hear hoseok giggling and that makes things more awkward tbh but it’s okay because he’s warm
and so your put your feet on his legs and even through the socks he can feel your cold feet and now the two of you are laughing
but then yoongi sits up and threatens to murder you both in cold blood
so you end up zipping it and going to bed
hoseok wakes namjoon up an hour or two later because switch shift and he’s sleepy
namjoon groggily wakes up and he goes to sit up but??
is that your head on his chest??
why yes it is??
hoseok starts to squeal and namjoon glares but hoseok is
you know that spongebob meme with squidward and crabby patties
that’s hoseok @ namjoon
“you like them don’t you namjoon”
and namjoon was like hoe i thought that was obvious please
and hoseok was like um idk if they know dude
and najoon just groans and stands up and waves hoseok off and goes to stand guard
he doesn’t like the whole crush thing because his entire life as a child of athena you know, he’s used to approaching everything as a problem that has a solution
something that he can work through and tackle if he takes the right steps
everything is a process and with the smart logical choices, he can accomplish anything
but this is different because suddenly his head isn’t in charge and no matter how hard he tries to examine the situation logically, you can’t think like that, not when you’re in love with someone all rules go out the window and namjoon is like wth is this i am not a fan can this not be a thing
he overanalyzes every single scenario and one second he’s determined that you must be in love with him but one second later, he thinks you must hate him or something and that the two of you will never work out and it’s such a vicious cycle
he just wishes he would have some answers-
and then this voice pops up in his head and it’s very familiar and namjoon is like i know who this is but also at the same time i have no idea whatsoever
and then it hits him- the mysterious lady from his childhood, the one who got him to camp and he’s ! because he had totally forgotten about her till now
and the voice is like “you really forgot about your own mother”
and namjoon is !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! because mom since when was that a thing
but it makes sense and suddenly everything starts to click and namjoon is like wow your local son of athena couldn’t figure that one out, amazing
but she’s like look kid im sorry that i havent been around, things are complicated, dont be mad
and namjoon is like im not dont sweat it
athena just tsks like thats because you never let your emotions lead
“but it’s okay to let them take over sometimes you know”
you know what she’s implying and the conversation doesn’t last much after that
and namjoon is like right i should maybe confess maybe ill do that when i get back home or something---
but suddenly he’s taken aback because there’s this clanking and rattling and all of th sudden there are these skeletons rising from the earth and namjoon is like just my luck
he draws his sword and starts yelling for the rest of you to wake up and hoseok is first up and he’s racing to get yoongi awake and meanwhile namjoon is battling off these monsters
he uses those telekinesis powers i mentioned to hurl boulders and other projectiles at them while using his long sword to fend off others but they keep multiplying
hoseok comes in with his double daggers and he’s slicing and diving and jabbing
and yoongi has his scythe and he’s totally wrecking these monsters and smashing them to dust
you’re nowhere to be found though and namjoon turns his head for a split second and that’s his mistake
he doesn���t feel the arrow pierce his shoulder, not initially, but he feels the searing pain as yoongi yanks it from his flesh later
he stumbles and trips forward and he’s clutching his shoulder and hoseok is shrieking and yoongi is cursing
namjoon feels like he’s slipping from reality and he doesn’t know what’s happening save that the world is spinning before his eyes
but then your cry snaps him back from his daze and he watches you stumble towards him
yoongi and hoseok fight off the rest of the monsters as you kneel beside namjoon, cradling his head in your lip
namjoon is too shocked to cry but then he sees the tears streaming down your face and he suddenly feels overwhelmed
yoongi and hoseok run over when the coast is clear and yoongi is the one who pulls the arrow out because hoseok is shaking too badly to do so
“i thought i heard something and so i woke up and went to check it out, but clearly i wasnt right and now you’re going to die because of me namjoon, oh gods, you can’t die!!”
and youre sobbing and hoseok is like you need to calm down so i can treat this thing and namjoon is slipping from consciousness and you’re holding his hands tightly between your own
yoongi is praying hard while hoseok does his best to clot the blood flow and go through his bag in search of ambrosia and nectar
namjoon’s eyes close and his lips part and you’re crying harder now because this it, this is the last time you’re going to see namjoon
“i love you, i love you more than life itself namjoon, and im not going to let you die, do you hear me!?”
hoseok pulls out the thermos of nectar and he hands it to you
for those who dont know, nectar is like the healing thing for demigods and it’s not guaranteed life saver, it works hella good
anyway, you hold the thermos to namjoon’s lips and do your best to make sure he drinks some of it
hoseok assures you that namjoon is gonna make it, upon further examination, the wound isn’t deep and it missed any vital nerves or organs
still you can’t help but cry
you hold namjoon in your arms the entire night and none of you guys sleep because you’re so scared??
namjoon does wake up, and he’s fine… he’s just sore the next morning
he first asks about you though if you’re okay and then he looks up and finds you staring down at him and he’s o h
you smile down at him “i swear to god, dont you ever pull that on me again”
“i wasnt trying to die”
omg wth my namjoon ones are always the longest, namjoon, yoongi and jungkook
anyway you mouth “i know” and then stroke the hair from his eyes
hoseok and yoongi watch on but they don;t interfere and they dont get nosy, they jsut let you guys have your moment
it’s like a mutual understanding after that
like the scare makes you realize that yes, you love namjoon, more than a friend
and yes, namjoon loves you too, more than anything in the world
and hoseok and yoongi realize that they’re third and fourth wheeling on the quest and it’s awkward
because once namjoon starts feeling better, it’s like a switch was turned on and now he’s trying to impress you with the psychology of attraction and holding hands and love and it’s a hot mess
and he’s vowing to protect you and you’re like honey i gotta protect you…
yoongi and hoseok regret their life choices
but they think it’s cute and when you guys all return home safely (with the dog in tow), everyone starts handing over drachmas and dollars because their was a camp wide bet on if you guys would get together on your quest
