- Recap: Both Kevin and Kylie went to university in 2017. Kevin attended the University of London under its College of Arts. Meanwhile, Kylie took up theater miles away in ______. During their first year, they've spent of their time adjusting. They aligned their timezones, schedules, and other student hassles to cater to the relationship. They've almost boned that Christmas break, but sadly, the son of Pandia got cock-blocked after Kylie's cousin moved in with her. During their second year, they both got busy with their schedules, but the two constantly sent each other care packages as tangible reminders of their relationship. However, the distance made them fall out. Kylie was unable to visit Kevin on their Sophomore year Christmas, as she had family matters to attend. Meanwhile, Kevin invited her during his summer break's art convention, yet as one of the project leads, he couldn't give Kylie as much time as she wanted. In their Junior year, Kevin missed Kylie's play, due to the execution of an important personal project about the moon dating the sun. The couple almost broke up on their 2019 Christmas, but they sorted their feelings out and reconciled through their first experience. Two months later, a global pandemic happened, so they did not have much time to be apart and busy ever since.
- Kevin: Due to the pandemic, both Kylie and Kevin's university classes were moved online, so they agreed to see each other back where they first met, Camp Half-Blood. The son of Pandia hurriedly packed for the trip, not even being able to sleep in excitement. Despite the lockdown, his affluence was able to secure him a flight. In fact, he even opted to arrive a day earlier to secure more of Kylie's goodies. Since the nearby boba shops were closed, he learned how to craft her favorite hazelnut milktea overnight. He couldn't sleep much anyway. By now, the daughter of Apollo would've known how affectionate and sexually frustrated the son of Pandia was, especially after their Christmas special. Kevin then paced himself back and forth in his room, waiting for Kylie to text. He readied her package of sweets, an artsy couple keychain from his successful compiled one shots about the moon dating the sun (inspired by them), and international goodies. Regardless of their distance, he is always her faithful, peppy puppy.
- Kylie: She arrives at the foot of the hill leading to camp, her luggage in tow, and a face mask over the lower half of her face, Seeing the familiar landscape brings a pang of nostalgia, memories rushing to her. A soft smile begins to form at the thought of not only being back home. Lugging her suitcase behind her, she walks into camp, idly wondering if anyone even remembers her. After passing the barrier, she takes off her face mask and basks in the familiar scents of camp -- a lot of nature, some smoke, and a myriad of dishes being cooked. After taking in the view -- so different now after years away, but still so familiar, she brings out her smartphone and shoots a text to Kevin, giddy at the thought that she'd get to be with him soon, after so many months apart. Just arrived at Camp! Fingers crossed my old room is still here HAHA. Meet me in front of Apollo Cabin in 20 minutes? After making sure the text gets sent, she makes her way to her old cabin, fond memories coming alive in her mind.
- Kevin: "Got someone to carry your luggage?" He asked, assuming her half-brothers would probably do a decent job welcoming their former beloved councilor. The son of Pandia then showered and threw on an orange hoodie sweatshirt and sweatpants. His familiar woody scent sprayed onto him. "Calm down, Blazer. Calm down." He convinced himself, waiting for time to pass as to not seem overtly excited. He nearly killed himself from the anxiety, missing his girlfriend so damned much.
- Kylie: She slows down to answer Kevin's text. Nah, sadly, she texts back. Not even sure who's around anymore. It has been a while. She frowns a little at her own reply before looking towards her old cabin, just a few meters away. Sadness fills her at the thought of her half-siblings no longer being at camp, but quickly shrugs off the feeling. She continues on until she's safely in her old room, which she's pleasantly surprised to find is still the same as she left it. After setting down her luggage, she washes her face before changing into a plain white t-shirt, keeping on her faded blue jeans and sneakers. She sprays on some perfume before checking the mirror, satisfied that her hair is still neatly tied in a ponytail. Her grin from before resurfaces, eager to see her boyfriend. She rushes out, phone in hand. Unknowingly, a blush rises to her cheeks as she recalls the last time she and Kevin saw each other.
- Kevin: Twenty minutes have passed. The son of Pandia didn't notice her text, as he forgot his phone was on mute. "Shit, Blazer." Purposely leaving the goodie box, he immediately got up from his bed and bolted outside the door for the Apollo Cabin. His heart raced along with his feet, too eager to see Kylie. Perhaps, they were the lingering effects of their make-up a few months ago. He was so happy to finally fix the consequences of their LDR situation. Upon seeing a slim figure that looked like Kylie, the son of Pandia used moonlight to disappear from his tracks and reappear behind her. "The sweetest heart of all them sweethearts!" He greeted. Kevin hoped to give her a shocking back hug. His head hoping to be next to hers.
- Kylie: She stands in front of Apollo Cabin, eyes trained in the direction of Pandia Cabin. She checks her phone in case she missed a text from Kevin, but there's no reply. She's about to message him again when she feels arms wrap around her. Years of training almost has her drive an elbow into her captor's stomach but the voice shocks her into stillness. Her breath catches in her chest, eyes misting as as she becomes acutely aware of how much she missed that voice. She turns her head, a smile forming on her lips. "Why, hello the--". She cuts off abruptly as soon as she realizes how close Kevin's face is. Her breath catches again and her eyes zero on his lips. Memories from their last time together flit to her mind and her blush from before becomes even more pronounced now. A small squeak leaves her lips unbidden and she looks away shyly.
- Kevin: "--there, handsome boyfriend of mine that I love so much." He continued. The son of Pandia refused to let go of his girl, taking in the smell he so dearly missed. Their hearts probably beat the same rushed, erratic pattern. Nothing else could feel better than in the company of home. "Sorry I didn't reply. My phone was apparently on silent." Teasing her, Kevin was able to use their close proximity and her head turn to nibble on her ear gently. "My apologies, sweetheart. Here's compensation." He whispered.
- Kylie: Feeling his teeth on her ear, a shudder went through her entire body. One of her hands comes up to clutch at his arm. "N-no worries." The sensation and growing desire were starting to get distracting but she makes no move to leave the circle of Kevin's embrace, relishing in his presence. "I was hoping for compensation of a different kind though. Your lips on mine would be a good start."
- Kevin: "Awww... is this beautiful girl trying to cockblock me?" He teased, hoping for a no. Nonetheless, "one kiss coming right up, Ms. Shay!" The son of Pandia had little shame now, but for the sake of Kylie's reputation, he resisted French kissing her on the spot. Instead, he opted for a peck. "Is that enough?" He asked, swaying her as his arms still wrapped around her when he moved from side-to-side. "...or...?" He looked at her with a mischievous grin filled with a hungry wolf's intent.
- Kylie: The peck -- a quick pressure on her lips really -- was nowhere near enough for her. Still in the circle of Kevin's arms, she twists around so that she's facing him. "I dunno," she says. Quick as an arrow, she drops a kiss on the base of his throat before moving her head back and looking up at him through her lashes, an equally flirty smile forming on her lips. "We haven't seen each other in a few weeks." She wraps her arms lazily around his neck, "I could be further convinced that you missed me."
- Kevin: The gesture made Kevin want to literally devour her right then, right there. "My, my, challenging. I didn't know you liked public, sweetheart," he teased, grinning down at her flirtatious self. It was so much better to see her in person compared to his phone. With a hand around her waist and another around her shoulder, he pulled her close to him, enough for her to feel a certain stiff. "Convincing enough now?" He bit his lip, not even hiding or dismissing his malicious thoughts.
- Kylie: Despite her flirting, a bright red blush forms on her cheeks at both Kevin's words and at his anatomy poking at her. It takes her a few seconds to gather herself, hunger and desire clear in her eyes. She tightens her hold on Kevin, pressing herself closer to him. "I swear to the gods, Blazer, if you don't kiss me and take me to bed right now..." She deliberately trails off, her threat going unfinished, but her intent made clear.
- Kevin: The son of Pandia enjoyed teasing his cute girlfriend. "Huh? What are you going to do about it?" Kevin asked in a coy manner, as if he wanted her to detail how naughtily parched she was. That, or see if she will make the first move. Luckily for them, not a lot of people were passing by that early hour.
- Kylie: Her breath hitches, frustration coursing through her. She moves her arms away from Kevin's neck, wrapping them around his torso instead, thereby bringing the two of them even closer than before. She buries her face in his neck before sneakily grinding her hips against his, a small pout forming at her lips. "How cruel my lovely boyfriend can be, denying his sweet girlfriend the affection she deserves, hm?"
- Kevin: Fuck. He bit his lip, unable to deny how soothing it was to have her hips against his. His want for her grew every second. Gods, did he wanna tap that. His hand on Kylie's waist sensually slides down to her ass cheek, giving it a nice, firm squeeze. "You'll soon know," he replied, referring to his cruelty. His voice deep with lust. "... after we fuck, hard." For the purposes of not godmodding, Kylie's acceptance will lead them to moonlight travel to Kevin's room, specifically against one of his walls.
- Kylie: A soft moan escapes her lips at the feel of his hands on her ass. "I look forward to it". She presses a kiss again to Kevin's neck before pulling away, taking his hand into one of hers and leading them away from Apollo Cabin. "Come on, handsome, show me just how much you missed me."
- Kevin: "Gladly, sweetheart," the son of Pandia promised in a rather coarse, desperate tone. Her readiness aroused him to give her more. Kevin then pinned her against the wall nearing his bed. His hands quickly got to work. One attempted to cuff her wrists above her head, while the other slithered its way the hills under her shirt. His tongue circled a patch of skin her neck.
- OOC: your post being the timeskip, since there are children here :P
- OOC: 😏 eyebrow wiggles
- Timeskip: After a vigorous round (or two), the couple remains on Kevin's bed, tangled in each other's embrace, a single blanket thrown over them to keep warm and decent.
- Kylie: She snuggles against Kevin, basking in his warmth. She listens to the rhythm of his heartbeat -- strong and steady. A soft sigh of contentment passes her lips. "I missed you so much. I know we saw each other just a few months back, but I feel like it's been an eternity and a day." She reaches out blindly for Kevin's hand, wanting to intertwine their fingers.
- Kevin: "I missed you too, sweetheart. Not one day did you skip my mind." All that work released enough oxytocin to make Kevin even cuddlier towards Kylie. Still naked under the covers, the son of Pandia's slipped out hand intertwined with hers. His index finger rubbing the back of her palm. "I don't know where you get that much beauty, but I love you." He smiled back at her in a genuinely loving manner. Even if they didn't have sex, there was something about just cuddling her raw self that made the experience even more intimate. He could never see himself with anyone else.
- Kylie: Kevin's tender words brings forth a rush of emotions. A helplessly fond smile graces her lips before she buries her face in an attempt to hide the blush forming on her cheeks. "Please, we both know that I'm not that pretty." She squeezes his hand to compensate. "I still have no idea how lucky I am. Having you by my side is probably be the best thing that ever happened to me."
- Kevin: "Are you doubting my judgement" He pouted like a sad puppy, hoping she'd comply. Truth be told, Kylie was beautiful. Perhaps, maybe not in American body standards, but she was the effortless beauty type. Kevin then pressed his forehead against hers in a loving manner. "Same. I'd have it no other way." He smiled sweetly. "I still remember that time we were on the cliffs sparing. Time really flies." It was also in the same cliff side where he asked Kylie to be his girlfriend. Four years later, no regrets.
- Kylie: She huffs a laugh at his sad puppy look, easily giving in. "I don't think I've ever doubted your judgement, even when things weren't okay between us." She gazes lovingly into his eyes. The mention of the cliffs brings warmth to her chest, remembering the last time they were there. "My memory is a little bad. Remind me who won that spar?" She smiles impishly at him.
- Kevin: "I don't remember too," he suddenly laughed. It was tons of moonbeams and sunlight, a dazzling show now that he looked back. "It didn't really matter as much as getting close to you." He winked, squeezing her hand. "So, I think I won." Obviously back then, Kevin only cared about their feelings being reciprocated. However, given their naked context now, his sentence may have had a different meaning.
- Kylie: She smiles softly at him. "I've never liked losing, but I think I'll make an exception for you. Losing my heart to you, well, I can't really say I regret that." She pauses, realizing how cliche her words were. She groans in embarrassment, and covers her face with her free hand. And yet, through the gaps of her fingers, one could still see the smile on her face. "Gods, sorry, that was so cheesy. I think you actually managed to turn my brain into mush."
- Kevin: Finding her utmost adorable, the son of Pandia closed in on her. His sharp nose 'booped' then rubbed hers. Despite the cheesiness their relationship has gone through the years, Kevin blushed at her confession. "How cute is my girlfriend? As natural moon shines at night and the sun at day." Kevin composed on the spot. Perhaps, he should add it to his one-shot series. "Do you want a lazy day of cuddling or..." His voice trailed off, allowing her to make suggestions of her own.
- Kylie: She presses a chaste kiss to Kevin's lips before a short laugh escapes her lips at his words. Mischief paints her features. "How are you so energetic? I feel like I could sleep the entire day, after how well you did me. Who knew my loving boyfriend could be such a beast in bed?" She closes her eyes, feigning sleep. "Cuddles would be really nice."
- Kevin: The son of Pandia was caught off-guard by her compliment. He really didn't expect to be praised for that department, considering she was his first and only experience. Perhaps, secretly reading those online articles worked. That, or porn. "Uh... umm..." Kevin recollected his composure, grinning. "who knew my loving girlfriend could have a ----- so sweet?" He returned in her tone. "It so fine, anyone would wanna last at least a lifetime with it," he winked. Obviously, it was an exaggeration, but Kevin believed Kylie to be the best.
- Kylie: She squeaks at his words, not expecting such a response to her teasing. Her face flares a bright red in embarrassment. "I-I can't believe you said that!" Extremely flustered, she turns her back to him before burying her face in one of his pillows. "You're absolutely shameless! Incorrigible!" She tugs the blanket above her head, as though to hide from Kevin's gaze. She then squeezes her eyes shut and tries to will the blush staining her cheeks away.
- Kevin: Adorable, absolutely adorable. He commented internally, wanting to squeeze her desperately in an aggressive manner (gigil). The son of Pandia did mean every word he said, but perhaps, he did take into consideration how adorably flustered Kylie could be. Once she tucked herself under the blankets, Kevin then gave her a big, cozy back hug. "Let's see how long you can last inside of that without me," he laughed, snuggling against her body. There was no way to escape this stalker in the past, so what more now that Kylie shared a bed with him? LOL.
- Kylie: She grumbles incoherently into the pillow, still unwilling to face Kevin after his previous words. Her heartbeat speeds up when she feels Kevin's arms wrap around her. It only takes a few seconds in his embrace before she comes out of hiding. She pushes both the pillow and blanket down enough for her eyes to be seen. She turns and gives Kevin a mock glare, though her ears are noticeably still red from her blushing. "Cuddle me quietly please? You -- your words -- I swear I'm going to die from embarrassment if you ever say those words in public."
- Kevin: Once the daughter of Apollo came out of hiding, he used a hand to stroke her hair fondly. "Do you really want me to do them more?" He teased. "One cuddle coming right up!" He snuggles even closer to her. For an artist with viral characters, Kevin now felt his brain was turning into mush whenever he was with Kylie. Nonetheless, he didn't mind. He liked it, a lot. Suddenly, one of his half-brothers was probably playing soccer in the other room. With a loud thud, a small box fell out of his shelf. His old, enchanted necklace flopping onto the floor.
- Kylie: She melts further into Kevin's embracing, the warmth seeping from their bodies lulling her to sleep. The sound of several objects crashing on the floor jolts her into alertness. Blearily, she squints at the items, particularly at the necklace. "That necklace looks very familiar. Didn't you used to wear it constantly?" As she speaks, she sits up, dragging the blanket with her to keep herself decent, before moving to stand, as though to pickup the items.
- Kevin: Whether it's by the necklace or Kylie's delicious figure hidden in the blanket, the son of Pandia became flustered. He also remembered how that necklace was worn back in his camp days. Kevin purposely left it in camp, because it revealed too much about him, specifically his emotions. "Yeah, but I can't have that now." He laughed. "It would glow horny too much." He joked. Despite Kylie taking the blanket, Kevin shameless sits upright in his raw form, watching her movements.
- Kylie: She picks up the necklace, rolling it in-between her fingers admiring how well-maintained it looks despite being in a box for years. At Kevin's words, she throws a grin over her shoulders. "Glow horny huh? And what color would... That...be..." She trails off, eyes roving appreciatively over her boyfriend's bare skin. She grips the blanket tighter around her, as though to hide the sudden spike of desire. Unfortunately for her, the necklace decides to glow, alternating between a deep blue -- the color of lust, and bright red -- embarrassment.
- Kevin: "That color, apparently," he smirked coyly. The son of Pandia then stood up and held her around the waist. His head was on her shoulders once again. Kevin then looked at the necklace, wondering what color it'll flash after. "I can't believe you still remember that thing." He chuckled. "But to be honest, nothing was funnier than the yoyo-weapon mom gave me. It's as if she wanted me dead." He laughed. Where was that again? Somehow, the son of Pandia was able to just summon its true form with moonlight, instead of the magical yoyo, so he suddenly felt like finding it.
- Kylie: She once again gets flustered when she noticed that the color of the necklace changed from blue to various shades of red. She hides it inside the blanket, so her emotions wouldn't be on full display. Once the necklace is hidden, she eyes the rest of the shelves in the room. "Maybe your magic yoyo is in the shelves? I'm honestly surprised you didn't bring it with you when we left."
- Kevin: Kevin noticed how she hid the necklace and laughed at her cute antics. "The loser of our next bet needs to wear that necklace with something else..," he trailed off his sentence with a suggestive tone and wink. The son of Pandia, still having one arm around her waist, raised his other hand to check his shelf overhead. It was ontop of his study table. "I could conjure my weapons out of moonlight with little energy, so I never thought I'd have to use my pockets for a yoyo." He confessed. "But... you know, three years later, I really did take a few things for granted." With a sad face, Kevin internally apologized to his mother who he didn't have much time for, and he also apologized for leaving her well-intended gifts.
- Kylie: Her face turns a cherry red at the suggestive words, but she tries her best to reign in her expression. She takes a peek at the necklace and sees it change colors again and internally groans. At Kevin's somber tone, however, her mood also turns a little melancholic. She leans a more into his side, offering him comfort through her presence. "We took many things for granted years back. We know better now."
- Kevin: "Well said. Thanks for always being such a home, sweetheart." A sincere smile etched on his face. He couldn't deny her importance. The son of Pandia was rather very entertained by the necklace once more. He took it from Kylie's hands and hovered it over her neck. "Hm... may I curse you with the ultimate gift though?" He chuckled. If Kevin were to give such to Kylie, she should know how important that piece was, considering it was from his godly mother.
- Kylie: I want to kiss him, is the thought that flits in her mind at the sight of such a soft smile on her boyfriend's face. Her gaze moves to the necklace, a smile growing on her own face. She knew the item held importance to Kevin. "If you're sure..." She steps away enough to turn her back to Kevin. One arm remains holding the blanket around her frame, while the other sweeps her hair to one side, baring her neck to Kevin. "...then I will accept your curse, your gift. If it's you, I'll accept anything and everything."
- Kevin: The son of Pandia was taken aback by her statement. "It would be nice to place that into the series, but I didn't expect you to say that..." His voice trailed off, making him blush more madly. "Don't forget that promise then," Kevin decided to test his luck. "Mine for life, Shay." The son of Pandia then placed the necklace on her. Frankly, it suited better on her than him. Perhaps, this was his mother's plan all along.
- Kylie: Once the necklace is settled on her neck, she touches it lightly before turning to her boyfriend, slipping her free hand into his, intertwining their fingers together. She thinks that it's amazing how well their hands fit together. "Yours for life? Only if I get to call you mine for eternity in return." She gazes lovingly into his eyes. "Deal?"
- Kevin: "D-deal." He was quite flustered. "Did you miss me that much? Why are you on a streak today?" He squeezes her waist tighter and looks away, refusing to let her see his red tints. When Kylie said that, Kevin started to hear wedding bells from a distance. Ever since they met, the son of Pandia wanted to lock her down, but never did he know Kylie actually felt that way. The sensitive boy, who had a past of fighting for people's affections, started to tear up a little bit unconsciously. He didn't want Kylie to see that, so he kept his face away from her.
- Kylie: She reaches up, rubbing her thumb across Kevin's cheek. When she notices his eyelashes starting to get wet, she rises onto the tip of her toes and plants a soft kiss onto the corner of his eye. The necklace on her neck switches between various shades of red, showing her love. "I missed you very very much. I have no idea how we survived years apart." She smiles again before leaning her head on his shoulder. "Just thought I'd make sure you knew, is all." She can feel a blush rising to her cheeks at her own words. She never thought she'd be saying such things out loud, but love, time, and distance from her boyfriend really has changed her.
- Kevin: "Damn it, Kylie. You're really something else, aren't you?" Tears started to flow down the edges of his eyes. As much as he didn't want Kylie to see him become so sensitive, it was inevitable. She was so supportive of him, even when no one else had faith in him. She was also the one who encouraged him to pursue his dreams in art and console him about the disappearance of his little sister. Much of those sweet memories just had to flood in right now. "Thank you for always being there for me, even when I can't ask for it." He grabbed a nearby sheet of Kleenex and wiped his eyes with one hand. His other simply rested with Kylie. It liked never leaving her. The son of Pandia then tried to lighten the mood with a smirk. "But I'm serious, sweetheart." He said with a stern tone. "One day, if you refuse my proposal, you're indebted to becoming my sex slave for life." One way or another, she was to be his, but if she were to change her heart, Kevin would always treasure their memories.
- Kylie: She lets her beloved cry, knowing he needs to get the strong emotions out of his system. Through it all, she remains steadfast, the hand holding Kevin's remains firm. Her smile turns just a more playful when she sees Kevin calm down. "A sex slave huh? Are you into BDSM now, love? Never thought you'd be the type." She huffs out a short laugh before her demeanor turns just a bit more shy. "Really though, there's no need for thank you's between us. You could ask me, and see for yourself if I would deny you anything you really wanted."
- Kevin: The son of Pandia was truly joking. He couldn't bear himself hurting Kylie in any way, even for pleasure. However, he simply liked teasing her about it. "Sorry, but that was a joke. Are you disappointed?" He smirked. Kevin then lovingly patted her hair. "Sweetheart, when time comes that you don't love me anymore, then you should always choose what's true to you. I'm fine as long as you're happy. Ok?" He meant it. Kevin, ever since the beginning, always looked out for Kylie's welfare and happiness. Even those times when she liked Cody, he only disagreed, because the other had a girlfriend.
- Kylie: "Well then, you better be prepared, my love. You're going to be stuck with me for a very very very long time," she says cheekily. A grin forms on her face, perfectly complimented by the soft pink glow of the necklace from her neck. "I plan to love you and share my happiness with you for at least another four or five decades, if the Fates permit."
- Kevin: "Just four or five?" He complained. The son of Pandia was really getting used to the necklace on Kylie. "I bet if Aphrodite saw how hard you worked, she'd take you in as a nymph. That'll probably extend us up to an eternity." With his suicidal tendencies back as a teenager, Kevin often joked about dark matters. "So, how about... we should grab dinner then explore camp tomorrow?" Kevin asked. Maybe it was a weird fantasy, but the son of Pandia wanted to try her cooking again.
- Kylie: "Hey, considering how young most other demigods die, dying of old age sounds like a blessing." She smiles, imagining her and Kevin as senior citizens. She rises up and presses a soft kiss to Kevin's cheek. "Dinner sounds great. I wonder if they still serve the same food here, or if the menu's been upgraded over the years." She finally steps away from her beloved, moving to pick up their clothes scattered around the room. "I kinda wonder what other things have changed around here. Honestly, I'm a little scared to see the differences."
- Kevin: He chuckled. "I used to wonder why people would want to grow old, then I realized it's a kind of art in itself." He nodded profoundly before helping her pick up their clothes. He was rather embarrassed Kylie was the one to do even his share. "That's why we're going together. Hopefully, I found the meatloaf too stale, so I used moonlight travel to eat out instead. You know, I wonder how you rarely use your powers." The son of Pandia wondered, opening his closet to get a new set of clothes. As usual, he gestured Kylie to borrow one of his.
- Kylie: "I like conserving my energy. I was a healer, first and foremost, so I liked saving my energy in case I could use it for major injuries at the infirmary. Aside from that, it never really crossed my mind to use them in day-to-day life." She takes one of Kevin's plain shirts, bundling up the clothes in her arms. She hums thoughtfully, wondering if she should change in the bathroom or in the bedroom. Regardless of how long they've been together, the room is still Kevin's, and she knows her boundaries. "Um, is it alright if I use your bathroom? I mean, unless you want use it first."
- Kevin: "Damn, you make mortals wonder why you're a demigod." He chuckled. The son of Pandia grabbed another set of hoodie and shorts. "You know, you were a fine healer and still are." However, now finally understanding Kylie's reasons, he fell in love with her more. "Go ahead." He beckoned, not like he hid a skeleton there.
- Kylie: She blushes, even after years with Kevin she still can't handle any of his compliments. "I haven't practiced healing others in a long time. I'd probably end up accidentally hurting someone now more than healing them." She heads to the bathroom, her clothes under her arm, feeling a little self-conscious with how Kevin's blanket was the only thing keeping her modest. Before she enters the bathroom, she throws a wink at Kevin. "Don't miss me too much, honey!"
- Kevin: He chuckled. "You can hurt me any way you like." He winked back in the middle of wearing a new hoodie. "Too late. I'm dying." He clutched his chest to show his pain from being away from her. "Guess it's time for that healing once you come back." Kevin then scanned the room for his phone. He got his phone, wallet, and license in case Kylie had a change of heart and wanted to dine out. However, he did like reminiscing old camp food.
- Kylie: She returns not long later, Kevin's shirt noticeably engulfing her smaller frame. She folded the sleeves a little, showing off toned arms, while the hem is tucked into the waist of her jeans. "One healing for the heart, coming right up." She places his blanket -- now folded-- on top of the bed before stepping up to plant a chaste kiss on Kevin's lips. "So, dinner?"
- Kevin: "Definitely." He smiled at his beautiful girlfriend. Her figure definitely turned him on again, but his hungry stomach won the round. "Come on." He then extended his hand for her to hold. As always, the son of Pandia never liked their hands separating from each other.
- Kylie: She intertwines their hands, as though it were the most natural thing to do. And maybe, it really is. She swings their hands a little as they head to the Dining Pavilion. "I wonder if that silly rule about not being able to sit at other tables still applies." She frowns lightly. "We never tried going against it before, but do you think your mom would actually smite me if I sit at your cabin's table?"
- Kevin: "One way to know," he chuckled. However, if Kevin remembered, camp became a more inclusive home, so there were certain tables allowed for campers of different cabins to sit together. As much as Kevin liked adventure, he wondered if his mother would mind. "But if I remember correctly, camp changed a bit of rules and gave out free tables." Considering they were at an early time, the son of Pandia assumed they would be free.
- Kylie: "Better cross our fingers that what you remember is true, or else forever is going to be waaay too short if I get struck down," she doesn't know where she finds the will to joke around about death, but shrugs the worry away. It doesn't take long before they stand at the entrance to the Dining Pavilion. Pleasantly, she notes that Kevin didn't pull his hand away even once. A nostalgic smile appears on her lips when she takes in the view. "It still looks the same as ever... maybe a little more cramped than I remember though?"
- Kevin: The son of Pandia chuckled awkwardly at her joke, praying to the gods that will never happen. However, he also found it cute she was starting to get a much darker humor. "A lot of Hecate kids came back, or so I've heard." Kevin received all these information since he settled in the day before Kylie arrived. There on the corner were the free seats for children of other minor gods. Just as he laid his eyes on the seats, a few campers came in. Thus, he sat on the chair and motioned Kylie to come along. "Well, what are you getting?" He asked. "You can reserve these, and I'll grab us food."
- Kylie: She gingerly takes a seat beside him, eyes flashing to the sky as though really waiting for lightning to strike her. She relaxes more when nothing comes. "Anything except the mystery meat is fine." She recalls her last time eating camp's mystery meat and makes a face. "A few barbecue sticks and maybe some soup? Yeah that would be nice, if they have it. Otherwise, I'll leave it up to you to choose." She leans more comfortably on the table. "I'll make sure to save your seat, don't worry, love."
- Kevin: The son of Pandia found Kylie's tease rather adorable. He then nodded and retrieved the items just as requested. Kevin also got Kylie more meat (wink), a slice of her favorite cake and quickly mixed ice, milk, and tea together for her. Since he found it rather troublesome to carry so much items, the son of Pandia made them pop in with his moonlight travel. Apparently, he's been busy making his powers more practical, as they stop burning certain things he sends out. Once both of the orders were on top of their table, Kevin returned to her. Luckily, the people around them started to leave. "Well, do you like my new trick?" He grinned and took a seat beside Kylie. "Take stuff you like from me too."
- Kylie: She raises an eyebrow as food somehow appears before her. The glow surrounding the food clues her in that they were transported there via moonlight travel. When Kevin returns, she raises an eyebrow at him, an amused smile on her lips. "I must admit, pretty clever use of moonlight travel. Maybe I should try that with my own powers, one day." She hums thoughtfully, trying to imagine sending things to different places using her sound travel. Filing the thought away for another day, she reaches for her food, instantly zeroing in on the drink. She looks excitedly at Kevin, eyes practically sparkling. "Milktea?"
- Kevin: "You should! That sound traveling already sounds so cool!" He insisted. The son of Pandia, despite hating monster attacks once in a while, did enjoy his powers. It made everything more convenient. Kevin then nodded at the glass. "Yeah, but there was no boba or hazelnuts to add that with." He replied, kind of disappointed. However, Kevin did pack a few of those back in his room for Kylie.
- Kylie: She shrugs ligtly, a little disappointed but not enough for it to really affect her. "I'll take what I can get. Thanks sweetie." She moves to press a kiss to Kevin's cheek before taking a bite from her food. "Hmm food's still the same. Can't tell what to feel about that," she says, a delighted laugh leaving her lips. She's missed the taste of Camp's food. Somehow, food everywhere else --save for her mom's and Kevin's cooking-- just couldn't compare.
- Kevin: Kevin smiled at her grateful answer. "Same. You know, for a while, our food back in our dorms used to be a bit bland. We all complained about it, but the school told us changing the menu would make it more expensive. Good thing there was this group of rich China kids that paid to switch the nutritionist, so everything tastes great." He explained. The son of Pandia picked up a barbecue stick and bit the meat off. "Perhaps, the gods and goddesses should have children with more rich families. We might get better funding." He half-joked, chewing his food.
- Kylie: She laughs brightly at his joke. "I support this. Aside from more funding, more kids from rich families just means more chances for me to find a sugar daddy," she jokes back. To cap it off, she throws a wink at Kevin before innocently taking a bite from the the cake she was given.
- Kevin: The son of Pandia laughed back at Kylie's antics. However, he frowned upon her asking for a sugar daddy. "Hey..." He pouted at his beloved girlfriend. "Am I not enough?" Kevin said in a rather pitiful manner, looking quite adorable. Frankly, he would be shocked if Kylie said no.
- Kylie: She nearly chokes on her cake at Kevin's pouting face but managed to swallow the food down Dear gods, she thinks, why is he so adorable? She pats Kevin's hand, a reassuring smile on her face. "I do believe I've already made my choice when it comes to my partner. Besides, you're practically my sugar buddy." A bright laugh passes through her lips, a playful wink thrown at Kevin follows. "You've been spoiling me practically since the day we met." She grins brightly, hoping to put Kevin's fears to rest.
- Kevin: "Buddy??" He asked, quite questioning why she refused. The son of Pandia then smiled back at Kylie, finding her choke a little bit too cute. He blushed at the touch of her hand. It never got old. "Why won't you call me daddy?" He winked at her.
- Kylie: She was not expecting such a reply from Kevin. It left her speechless, gaping incredulously at her boyfriend. Steadily, a blush was once again rising to her cheeks. "Y-you! You --" She cuts herself off before she says something embarrassing. She buries her face on Kevin's shoulder in an attempt to hide her mortification. "Why are you like this?" She bemoans her current situation, although she has to admit she walked into that one.
- Kevin: He was sure certain campers in the same table moved aside to avoid the couple after his comment. The son of Pandia ignored the blush tainting on his cheeks. Kylie was not going to get away from this. "Why did you have to friendzone me?" He pouted, taking a bite of his cake as well. His puppy dog gaming was strong. Kevin even lowered his head to match with Kylie's just to add in more effect.
- Kylie: She couldn't bear to look at her boyfriend right now. She could feel her entire face burning from the mortification. "Hnngggg, I literally just called you my partner," she cries out half in despair and half in embarrassment. "Oh my gods, please spare me. I don't have a face as thick as yours!" Kevin's words somehow replay in her mind --curse being the daughter of the god of music!-- and she presses her face a little harder against Kevin's shoulder to get away from the wandering eyes of their tablemates.
- Kevin: "Yes, but buddy..." He reiterated, grinning at the frustrated Kylie. The son of Pandia shamelessly inched closer to her face, waiting for her to remedy her previous statement. "Now, now, we need to fix that." He bit his lip, knowing how the daughter of Apollo could guess what's on his sexual mind.
- Kylie: She squeaks at Kevin's tone and words, immediately putting distance between them -- though not much is created, since the table is occupied by other people. "Kevin, love, please we are in public!" Her gaze darts to the others, the redness in her face not subsiding at all, especially when she catches other people's gazes. She drops her voice to a whisper. "I'll make it up to you later okay? Or tomorrow!" She quickly amends, knowing her boyfriend's growing appetite for, ehem, adult things. "Maybe tomorrow? I dunno! Just- just..." she looks helplessly at Kevin, eyes tearing up, feeling like she's being bullied.
- Kevin: The son of Pandia simply loved teasing her mischievously. Since he and Kylie were in a long distance relationship, he was getting jealous of all those TikTok couples he saw doing weird public stunts. Their time together was a make-up session. However, upon seeing so flustered and embarrassed, Kevin immediately withdrew his advances. "Hey, I'm sorry. I'm really sorry. I'm kidding, ok?" His voice filled with worry. He gave her a quick hug, patting her head onto his shoulder so she can wipe her tears. Damn, in a quick turn of events, he was the guilty and sad one.
- Kylie: She lets Kevin guide her head onto his shoulder, but she turns her face a little so she's nuzzling into his neck. She sighs a little, feeling the warmth from her face fade a little. She felt the air between change, and couldn't help but think it was her fault somehow. "Sorry too," she whispers. "I've been feeling a little sensitive ever since we got back here. Must be the food haha." She laughs weakly, not really knowing what to do. She slips her hand back into his, offering her own brand of comfort to the son of Pandia.
- Kevin: The son of Pandia still felt really bad for making her almost cry. He was often known to beat himself up for the little things he did wrong. For a person who sincerely loved him like Kylie, Kevin felt like he made someone even closer than his mother cry. After the hug was over, he allowed Kylie's hand to intertwine with his. Yet, he was slightly different. "No, it's really not your fault. Come on. Let's finish up eating and get some sleep." He smiled back.
- Kylie: She nods in agreement, turning back to her food. She realizes soon enough that it's harder to eat with one of her hands intertwined with Kevin's. She makes no move to pull away though, feeling safe and at home beside him. She clears her plate soon enough, never one to waste food no matter the situation. Despite the teasing earlier, she's still looking forward to spending the night at Kevin's. She waits for the son of Pandia to finish his own meal before speaking up. "It's been a while since I fell asleep beside you."
- Kevin: Kevin also finished his meal in the same manner as Kylie. After dinner, the son of Pandia nodded at Kylie. Internally, he still didn't felt right about having her over, especially after making her cry. He was rather affected by the gesture, and Kylie would know well, considering his inability to concentrate during problems about them. "You want to spend the night over instead of hanging out with your siblings?" His tone was surprised. Even during their camp days, the two were more conservative. "Who are you, and what have you done to my girlfriend?" He stood up from his seat.
- Kylie: She pouts at him cutely, rising from her seat as well. She notably keeps her hand in his. "Your girlfriend has spent years away from your side and would like her human pillow to return." She falters a little, thinking she might be too forward. "I mean, unless you don't want to yet..." She strokes her thumb against the back of Kevin's hand. "I'll understand if you need space for tonight. I'm just--" and here she feels her blush rising again. She moves her head down a little, and looks at Kevin shyly, through her eyelashes. "Just putting it out there that I wanna spend more time with you, whenever I can."
- Kevin: The son of Pandia was rather confused. He wanted to have a little of bit of time alone, but Kylie was too cute to resist, especially when she turned the tables on him by making it look like he's the bad one to reject. "No, no, it's not that." He waved his hand in a no manner. "You should stay over." They walked a good distance away from the crowded canteen before he confessed. "I'd like you to stay over, really, but I... guess I still feel bad for what I've done. I didn't mean for you cry." Kevin, with his hand still intertwined with hers, gave Kylie a little squeeze. His dropped head made him look sincerely apologetic for his sins.
- Kylie: Her heart swells, filling with so much love for the man before her. What did she do in a past life to find someone like Kevin? She reaches up, cupping her hand on Kevin's cheek and meets his eyes. "Hey, hey, none of that now, love." She rises on her tiptoes, pressing her forehead against his. "I've already forgiven you. I know you'd never mean to hurt me in any way, just as I hope to never hurt you in any way." A soft, loving smile appears on her lips. "I love you."
- Kevin: Oof. The son of Pandia blushed, upon having Kylie get so close to him. He avoided her eyes. However, Kylie's second statement shot through Kevin, and he agreed. If he didn't want Kylie to take offense, he shouldn't too. His eyes looked back at Kylie with all the love in him. A warm smile appeared. "I love you too, sweetheart. You're the best." Kevin meant every word he said. He then released her hand and gave her a warm squeeze. It felt nice to feel her presence on his chest. "I wonder... what sort of hero was I in my past life. This is better than the lottery." He joked.
- Kylie: She grinned, returning the hug, content to stay within the circle of Kevin's arms. "My thoughts exactly. I must have done something really nice in my past life to be this fortunate." She looks up at Kevin before inclining her head at the direction of Pandia's Cabin. "Do you wanna just lie down and chill for the rest of the night?"
- Kevin: The son of Pandia nodded, looking towards the same direction as well. "Yeap, unless you have other plans." He stated innocently.
- Kylie: She shrugs, adopting an equally innocent demeanor. "Nope, no other plans. Just cuddling." She drags her eyes over Kevin's figure slowly, suggestively. "Maybe without a shirt for you though. Or pants."
- Kevin: Kevin saw the way Kylie examined him, and he smirked. "My, my. Already thirsty again?" The thought of Kylie wanting him lead the son of Pandia to the land of impure thoughts. He liked it there very much. "Only if you do the same," Kevin replied coyly. His hand gave the daughter of Apollo's a tight squeeze, lifting it up to kiss it.
- Kylie: A shiver runs down her back at the feel of Kevin's lips on her skin. She has to admit, it's quite an addicting feeling. "Deal. Now come on, I would very much like to kiss you without traumatizing the other campers."
- Kevin: He laughed. "It's the forest shortcut. The only people who'd be here at this time would be the murderers or the other couples." The son of Pandia then felt nostalgic, remembering how people used to get killed or found smooching in the forest. Despite half of it being dark, he still found it a presentable form of humor.
- Kylie: She raises an eyebrow at Kevin's words. An amused smile passes through her face. "I think we need to continue working on your definition of romantic, my love," she jokes. Spending time with Kevin has, undoubtedly, altered her own sense of humor. "As much as I would love to kiss you right now, I'd rather we not be interrupted by any lurking murderers. The poor murderer might get faint from shock."
- Kevin: Kevin laughed at her first comment. "As long as you work it with me." He then chuckled at her. "Or jealousy. Who wouldn't want a girlfriend like you?" He praised, walking with Kylie back to the Pandia cabin. He enjoyed her ability to appreciate good art. "Sometimes, I wonder what camp's doing about those troubled campers. It's rather unsafe to have them raising hell here, especially to the young ones." He noted. Despite majority of their campers being 16 or above, Kevin still thought about the adorable babies they had at camp, especially the Hebe kids.
- Kylie: She chuckles lightly at his compliment, easily accepting it since it was one of his milder ones. Her mood turns a bit solemn, however, at the mention of younger campers. As an ex-head councilor and a healer, she knows what it's like to look after the welfare of not only her own siblings, but others as well. "Years back, we were unable to catch whoever was attacking campers. It might have been someone from the Broken Covenant, but we could never prove it. Warning campers not to pass by the forest alone was all we could do." She blinks as they clear the forest line, entering now into the perimeter of the cabins. "Maybe things have changed for the better now."
- Kevin: "Hopefully," he agreed, mirroring Kylie's solemn mood. "I haven't heard much about the Broken Covenant, which I think is a good thing. But recently, I have been hearing about the camp extension. New Athens, I think." He chuckled. "Maybe your older siblings are stuck there now."
- Kylie: Her expression lights up at the mention of the new addition to the Camp, and at the chance to meet her older half-siblings. "I heard about that! It's apparently where the Old Town was. My head councilor --" she breaks off suddenly, a small discomfited frown appears on her face. "Oh wow, it's weird calling someone else my head councilor now." She shakes her head lightly, as though to make the thought physically remove itself. "Anyway, I heard this New Athens place is blessed by the gods?"
- Kevin: The son of Pandia noticed her discomfort, but he immediately laughed at its cause. "That's true. But to me, no one's stronger than my Kylie." He planted a kiss on her cheek as a consolation. Kevin always saw Kylie as the headstrong, hardworking figure, so the thought of someone being above her right now was also weird for him. Nonetheless, he'd be amazed if she still had time to juggle theater, him, and a bunch of her father's spawns. As much as they were his half-siblings, Kevin could never imagine loving them enough to sacrifice himself. "We could visit tomorrow, after looking around camp."
- Kylie: "Oh stop that, you're absolutely biased towards me." She chuckles at his compliment, squeezing Kevin's hand in response the kiss. "That sounds like a plan. I wonder if we'll get to see people we know." Her eyes light up at the thought of possibly seeing her old friends and siblings.
- Kevin: "That doesn't sound like a bad thing." He grinned back at her, finally arriving at the Pandia cabin. "Right, you go in first, sweet." Kevin gestured to the way into the cabin, knowing well Kylie already recognizes his door.
- Kylie: "Alright!" She walks in, feeling a little shy and evading the glances of any Pandia children who happened to be roaming the cabin. She enters Kevin's room and immediately flops face-first onto the large bed, her legs dangling off the edge so as not to get her dirty shoes on the bedding. "Am I ever so glad you have a big bed. We probably wouldn't fit in mine back at my cabin."
- Kevin: The son of Pandia chuckled. He liked the fact stuff just appeared from his cabin depending on how he wanted his room to be at the start. Nice thing he thought about a big bed early on. It would have been such a hassle to move everything in afterwards. "Why did you want a small bed before?" He stripped off his hoodie to switch into his sleeping one.
- Kylie: She sat up and took off her shoes. "I didn't exactly plan for a boyfriend, you know," she chuckles lightly. "A small bed is enough if it's just me." She strides unashamedly to Kevin's closet and picks out one of his smaller cotton shorts. She shows it to him. "Do you mind if I borrow this?"
- Kevin: Kevin chuckled awkwardly. "Perhaps, it helped that I had a small crush on you ever since." By this point, Kylie should know a little bit about Kevin's stalker-ish tendencies. However, he couldn't convince himself to tell her everything. Afterall, he never saw it as necessary. "I never mind." Kevin grinned. The son of Pandia enjoyed Kylie seeing him as a useful person, including his things. "In fact, I like you borrowing my stuff. It's a guy's fantasy, I guess." There was something about having a small frame fit into a man's clothes that made the experience a turn on.
- Kylie: Her smile turns warm as she remembers the beginning of their friendship. So much has happened since then, she thinks. At Kevin's affirmation/permission, her smile turns devilish. "A guy's fantasy huh? Then..." Without taking her eyes off of Kevin, she slowly takes off her jeans. "Shall we make one of your fantasies come true?" The shirt she borrowed from Kevin earlier proves sufficient in covering her up, the hem reaching down her thighs, protecting her modesty.Looks like there's something good about being small, I guess. Equally slowly, eyes still trained on her boyfriend, she steps into the pair of shorts she borrowed, securing it on her hips.
- Kevin: The son of Pandia's eyes made the mistake of following every movement Kylie made, causing him to be so turned on. He bit his lip, restraining himself. Kevin found it torturous Kylie wanted to undress and dress in front of him that way. However, he felt tired from the day, and he didn't want to give Kylie something half-assed. Kevin closed in on her and planted a kiss on her forehead. "If we want kids, we need to save some for the future." He winked, loving their little tease-banter.
- Kylie: Her confidence immediately flies out the window, her face turning a cherry red. "K-kids?" she squeaks. Immediately, an image of little kids that look like both of them flashes through her mind -- her and Kevin lazing about on a couch watching over their children. She pauses before looking away shyly. She thinks on it, not realizing that she's speaking her thoughts out loud. "That... That doesn't actually sound too bad. Maybe a few years after college? Or maybe after our careers flourish? Maybe after marriage though..."
- Kevin: Kevin bended to meet her face once more, wanting a closer look of those rosy cheeks. "So adorable." The son of Pandia loved how she squirmed, listening to her full mumbling about their future. He also could imagine both of them growing old together. However, her statement about marriage, for some reason, gave Kevin slight jitters. Will he be enough for her? Oof. "How many do you want? How's a whole volleyball team?" He teased, laughing how he always wanted a daughter that looked like Kylie.
- Kylie: She snaps out of her stupor as Kevin's face draws nearer again. At his last words, her expression turns aghast, face paling at the thought of experiencing childbirth so many times. "A whole volleyball team?! No, absolutely not." If period cramps were already horrible, what more childbearing. She winces at just the thought. Not to mention the funding needed to sustain so many people! "I think... um, maybe one or two is enough? Unless you somehow manage to defy all the odds and bear half of the children." Her expression pinches slightly, and she lowkey wants to smack herself. What the fck are you talking about Kylie Shay?! Shut up before you embarrass yourself further!
- Kevin: Kevin laughed at her joke. Hard. He was unable to imagine himself bring forth 3 like they were Aphrodite or pop 3 out of his head like Athena. "I'm kidding. Don't want to hurt my precious sweetheart." He embraced her in his warmth. "Two sounds good. If you get lucky, you might even have twins. It runs in our genes." He chuckled. While Kevin didn't have the best relationship with his brother, time has taught him to be more mature about it. If his father loved his brother more, it was fine. He still had Kylie. The son of Pandia released his embrace and went to the bathroom to brush his teeth. He handed Kylie her brush, as they could to it together.
- Kylie: She relishes in the warmth that always comes from being in Kevin's embrace. "I'm pretty sure you're gonna spoil them, regardless how many we have." A fond look comes over her face. She takes the toothbrush and heads over to Kevin's bathroom with him. A small yawn escapes her lips as she finishes brushing her teeth. It's been quite an eventful day, afterall. "If I hog the blankets, feel free to just take them back," she mumbles sleepily.
- Kevin: "Our kids?" Kevin chuckled. He could imagine three kids roaming around a good, two-story home in the beautiful mountains of Switzerland. "Only the best, 'cause their mom's as perfect." The son of Pandia was rather excited for the future. Although he did have wedding jitters, the future with Kylie seemed bright as her being. He smirked. "No, I'm taking you with them, love." After brushing his teeth, Kevin crashed into the bed. He opened his arms for his little spoon, suggesting they end their day.
- Kylie: She climbs into bed after Kevin, worming her way into his arms. Truly, she feels right at home with him. "See you tomorrow," she says softly. She presses one last kiss to his cheek before allowing sleep to claim her.
