*Not a request, but I did just get ghosted and basically dumped by my prom date ;), well there's always next year*
When Y/N had started at Camp Halfblood, she swore she wouldn't date, ever. Once she learned that her life was at risk 24/7 she figured there was no point. That was until she fell in love. With someone she couldn't have, so she broke her own rule. She began dating someone, but not THE one.
There she sat, at the campfire, with her boyfriend Jacob, a Hephaestus kid. He had his arm around her shoulder but he was engaged in deep conversation with some Apollo girl on his other side. Y/N had tried on numerous occasions to talk with them as well, or simply stand up. She had not succeeded in either.
Luckily for her, someone was making their way over to her, a drink in hand.
"Hey", Clarisse La Rue said, as she sat beside Y/N, handing her the drink. Y/N's smiled gratefully, "Ugh you're the best. How are you doing?".
The two girls became immersed in casual conversation, talking about anything from their day, to training, to Y/n telling clarisse all the gossip she had heard that day. Y/N was so invested in talking to Clarisse she barely noticed that the Apollo girl had left, or when her boyfriend lifted his arm off her.
"Hey Y/N, I'm gonna grab something from my cabin, I'll be right back", he sighed.
"Okay, I'll see you later then!", she answered brightly.
When she turned back to Clarisse, the girl had a scowl on her tan face.
"What?", she asked Clarisse.
"Nothing".
"Clarisse", Y/N sighed, "I know that look, what is it?".
Clarisse's glare softened as she looked at the girl before her, "He didn't talk to you once while you guys were here Y/N. He's spent the whole night talking to that Apollo girl".
Y/N shook her head, "No, no don't worry. He was talking to me before you came".
"I was watching you, no he wasn't", Clarisse took in Y/N's nervous expression and sighed, "I just don't want him to hurt you".
Y/N felt her heartbeat quicken at Clarisse's words. The ares girl was looking at her with such warm sincerity Y/N thought she might melt right then and there. She shifted to lay her head on Clarisse's shoulder, who stiffened up at first before wrapping an arm around Y/N' shoulders.
"I'll be fine Clari", she whispered. But Clarisse wasn't so sure about that.
*****************************
The next morning, Silena came bounding into the Athena cabin to talk to Y/N.
"You and Jacob broke up?", she panted, out of breath.
Y/N looked up from her book confused, "No? Where did you hear that?".
Silena tilted her head, "Wait what? You're still together?".
Y/N nodded and Silena shot her a worried glance.
"Silena, what happened?", Y/N pressed.
"He's been walking around camp holding hands with Jenny, from Apollo Cabin. Apparently they hooked up last night. Oh y/N, I'm so sorry I thought you knew".
Y/N didn't say anything for several minutes. She felt like she was going to be sick. Granted she didn't like Jacob that much anyways, it still stung. She had been cheated on, and now slightly humiliated.
Without another word to Silena, she bounded up from her bed and out into camp. It didn't take her long to find her stupid boyfriend, holding hands with the girl from the previous night.
She tapped his shoulder and glared at him, "Jacob? Care to explain?".
The boy shifted uncomfortably, "Um. Y/N this Jenny, her and I are kind of going out".
"We're literally dating you prick!", Y/N shouted.
A couple of campers came near them, to see what the ordeal was.
"Well, I guess we should break up then", Jacob mused nonchalantly.
Y/N was seething, she could see a crowd of people near them now, looking dumbfounded. She was now being cheated on, and publicly dumped and humiliated. What a great start to the day.
"Screw you, Jacob", she muttered, and took off into the forest, not bothering to look back to see the pitying glances, or laughs of the others.
****************************
Y/N had been in the forest for a while, crouched under a tree crying. She wasn't so much upset about Jacob, that douche was the least of her worries. But now she had nothing to block her from her true feelings. Nothing to keep her obligated to NOT fall for the person she's loved since she got to camp.
Now she had no reason, not to love Clarisse La Rue.
Her heart seemed to shatter all over again at the revelation. She was mostly fine with the fact that she liked girls, she had come to terms with that a long time ago. But liking girls was different than liking her best friend. Liking the strong, closed off, daughter of Ares who definitely didn't like her back.
As if on cue, Y/N heard footsteps approaching her, and felt the sun blocked from her face by a tall shadow, she didn't even have to look up to know who it was. Clarisse dropped down to sit beside her.
"You okay?".
Y/N only nodded, she couldn't look at Clarisse, couldn't trust herself to.
"He was a dick, didn't deserve you. None of the guys at this place deserve you", Clarisse whispered.
Y/N sighed, wiping the tears off her face, "I didn't even like him, he was a distraction".
"A distraction from what?", Clarisse asked.
Y/N stayed silent.
"Y/N, what was he a distraction from?".
"From you!", Y/N blurted out suddenly.
Clarisse stared at her, her face was confused, then hurt, "Why did you need to be distracted from me?".
"Because", Y/N sniffed, taking a deep breath, "I love you".
She hadn't meant to confess, she had meant to leave it as "because", but her heart spoke before her mind could, and now, she thought, she was about to lose her favorite person in the world.
Y/N sprung up from the ground, "I shouldn't have said that. Oh my Gods. I'm sorry, you don't have to answer that".
She started to walk away, but Clarisse grabbed her wrist and pulled her back into her. Then before she could say anything more, Clarisse smashed her lips against Y/N's and kissed her.
The kiss was rough, desperate, both girls clutching to eachother like they'd fade away if they didn't hold on tightly. After a while, their grip softened, and they melted into a slower gentler kiss. Unfortunately for them, air was something they needed to live so they pulled apart breathing heavily.
"I love you too", Clarisse whispered, "A lot actually".
Y/N giggled and pulled Clarisse into another kiss.
"Should've done that ages ago", Clarisse pointed out with a smirk.
"Oh shush".
The ares girl smiled goofily at her, an unusual sight on her usually stoic face, "I say we do that again, head back to camp, show your dickhead boyfriend you've found someone better".
Y/N slid her hand into Clarisse's, "Sounds like a good plan to me".
