  Your relationship with Clarisse was great, she was attentive, kind with you and pretty much only you, she was protective and supportive. But you both had your moments when your fuses came too short and you finally lash out.

Today was one of those days, you had got into an argument over something meaningless and insignificant, but tensions have been high since the whole Luke and Kronos issue now arising.

And you both lashed out, that had been two hours ago and clearly you two weren’t finished when you found her in the forest swinging her spear around absentmindedly. And when you two tried to sort it out you didn’t see eye to eye yet.

And you both knew what better way to solve an argument? Making out, taking out that anger, and so here you are. Pushed up against a tree by a girl significantly half your height.

One hand pushed against the rough bark of the tree and the other around her neck with her own on the nape of your shoulder. You knew that others would think that this wasn’t a good way to solve problems.

But neither of you were really good at consoling the other unless it was something actually serious, this was just an argument that came from shared frustrations and paranoia of what’s to come.

And aggressive make out sessions seem to be something you both agree is good to take out frustrations and stress, just you, her, your shared anger and this random tree she has you pinned against.
