Being a child of Asclepius naturally came with healing powers.

So Y/N spent quite a lot of their time in the infirmary, along with the Apollo kids and other demigods who had medical experience. It really wasn't an easy job. But every time a new kid with healing abilities came to camp, the pressure could be shared and it was less bad than before. Especially ever since Y/N joined Camp Half-Blood. 

Because they could heal wounds with a simple touch of the hand, they may or may not be the infirmary's greatest help. But of course, using their powers too much can also be dangerous for their own health, hence they can't take all the work from the medics sadly.

Then there was Percy Jackson, the camp's known hero and all-around nice guy. He and Y/N quickly clicked when they met and became friends. As he was a son of the sea god, it wasn't too suprising he could heal himself by coming in contact with water.

But for whatever gods-damned reason he decided it was always better to locate the camp's only Asclepius kid rather than take a swim in the lake whenever he was injured.

He'd come to their cabin, the infirmary, or wherever they were at the moment. Try to make smalltalk despite being wounded, let himself be healed, make lots of flirty comments, stare at them... that was the usual.

Y/N was never quite sure whether his flirting was just out of good teasing or actual romantic interest. But as time passed, Percy's crush on the Asclepius kid became more and more obvious, even to them.

(He's about as secretive as author is straight /j)

Percy was wandering through camp, on his merry way to Asclepius' cabin. Despite the fact he had a pretty gross-looking bloody wound on his arm, he seemed to be feeling content. The campers he passed by didn't pay much mind to the sight of the state he was in, they could only guess where he was heading and then it made sense.

As soon as he arrived, the son of Poseidon didn't even consider knocking on the cabin's door. He walked right in as if it were his own- which, in a way, isn't too far off considering how much he is here- to find Y/N sitting on their bunk with a book in hand.

"What's cooking, good-looking?" Percy grinned at his own horrible pickup-line. Y/N would've gaped at the gash on his arm if they hadn't seen worse, or seen such an injury on him before.

Muttering curses under their breath, they get up from their bed. "I can't believe you."

"Oh you should."

Percy sits down on the carpeted floor as they approach. Y/N kneels down next to him, putting one hand on his wound and the other on his shoulder to steady him. "Hold still." They instruct.

Poseidon's son felt a faint warm glow cast around his arm as his eyes fluttered closed. The pain lessened and lessened, until the wound was closed and only a thin light scar remained. But even that was fading.

"I swear to the gods Percy, you have to stop getting yourself injured like that. I know you're not that clumsy." Y/N scolded with a scowl as the healing process was over.

"Sorry..." He said once he opened his eyes again.

Percy did not feel sorry.

It was quiet for a whole lot of time. The Asclepius kid went to the sink to wash the blood off their hands. Leaving Percy alone with a teeny tiny internal crisis to fight with.

"Hey." The son of Poseidon spoke up hesitantly. "I was planning to go to the city to check up on my mom on saturday... Do you wanna like, come with and go to the movies after?"

The child of Asclepius perked up. "Like a date?"

No turning back now, he suppose. "Yeah... like a date." said Percy, the words forcing themselves up his throat.

Y/N hummed. "Sure."

"Yeah I knew you probably wouldn't- Wait what now?"

"Yeah." They turn to him. "I mean, why not? I like you a lot, I wouldn't mind spending time with you that wasn't all about treating your wounds."

Holy banana pancakes.

Percy felt his heartbeat speed up even more as his eyes go wide.

"Hello? Earth to Percy?"

"Oh, yeah..." Percy shakes his head distantly. "That's.. that's great! So, saturday after lunch? I could pick you up from your cabin?"

Y/N nods.

As they guide him to the door, the son of Poseidon almost stumbles a little, his mind still foggy from the quick agreement to an actual date.

"See you later." Y/N smiles.

"Bye..." Mumbled Percy.  And with that, the door falls shut again.

Once Percy was outside the Asclepius cabin, he just stood there for some time, maybe ten minutes. Then, a grin was slowly forming on his face as he punched the air, whooping in celebration. "Hell yeah!" He even did a funny little victory dance.

Y/N watched him from the window, red-faced with a smile. They don't know what's crazier; that this is the idiot that's in love with them, or the idiot they're in love with.
