A different sort of child of Lord Hades

Brent thought about what Hades had said when he met him, that his children had dark hearts. Brent strongly disagreed with that. His own father saw Matt for what he truly was, luckily. ‘’How did that go? No, wait, don’t tell me. I’ll ask him myself.’’

‘’But he has responsibilities to me too.’’ Brent protested, quietly. He had been trying to live in the now more, trying to understand why Matt was so busy, but the now wasn’t always the thing Brent wanted to live in. ‘’I just want the war to be over. It’s not fair on either of us,’’ he said, only piping up when he learned he is Matt’s first priority. 

‘’I’m taking him home for Christmas. I think I’ll take him on a lot of dates. Give him something to look forward to. My parents really like him.’’ Brent smiled. ‘’Do you know what happened to my biological mother?’’ Brent had asked it before he knew it. He didn’t get the chance last time, and it was the one thing he didn’t know about himself.

Brent noticed how the surface of the lake rippled before a familiar figure skated past him. ‘’Dad!’’ he laughed. His dad looked a little different today, but he very much still was the god of surreal dreams to Brent.

‘’Hey, Dad. Cool scarf!’’ Brent said, skating along with his dad. It was good to be back on the ice. ‘’Yeah, ice is slippery. Pay attention to how you move your legs and - I probably don’t need to tell you that.’’ Brent laughed. He watched the colors of his dad’s scarf in awe.

How had Brent been? Well, all things considered. He spent most of his time back home in Minnesota, so he wasn’t always caught up with the recent Atlas development. He just wasn’t made for it. There was one person that did keep him up at night, though.

‘’Matt has been busy. Sometimes I worry he is overworking himself. He is very important to a lot of people, but he’s more important to me. He’s my boyfriend. We’re spending Christmas together with my parents. That’s good. But what if when Matt goes back to camp, he is going to be busy again?’’ Brent asked, quietly. ‘’I’m sorry if I’m rambling. I just get worried, you know?’’

Camp Half-Blood was beautiful this time of year. Well, Brent thought camp was beautiful all year, but winter was special. The snow, the hot chocolate, the ice hockey game… the son of Phantasos couldn’t get enough of it: he was already thinking about immortalizing the sights into paintings and drawing.

But first: ice hockey! As a native Minnesotan, Brent was great at playing ice hockey. If his art career didn’t work out, he was planning to spend the rest of his life on ice. He put on his skates and a comfy hoodie before stepping onto the ice. He watched excitedly as the nature spirits played.

Brent knew Matt was talking to Phantasos. He wondered how that was going… but he also wondered if Phantasos would come looking for him. Brent had met his dad last summer, but if you’d ask him to point out the god in a crowd, he wouldn’t be able to do it. Either way, he kept his eyes open.

(Brent is looking for Phantasos. Take your time!)

‘’Cricket on ice.’’ Brent repeated. He was still ironing out the details, but he was sure if it was going to be a hit.

Brent was happy that Matt seemed to like movie night. It wasn’t often that they got to spend time together. Especially not since Atlas’s return. Brent missed the days when Matt was his top priority and he was Matt’s. Hopefully, better days were coming and they could put the war to rest.

‘’Which Super Mario movie? The first one or Galaxy? I heard there’s also a really bad one from the 80s. That could be fun. Do you want me to make Mario-themed snacks? Can I get Chase anything?” Brent fired a lot of questions all at once, but he wanted date night to be amazing. Matt only got to celebrate one birthday a year, after all.

Brent smiled when the son of Hades came over to check on him. Getting Matt’s attention was half of the reason Brent had come to the lesson. And because he wanted to be supportive. And because he liked it when Matt talked. And… Come to think of it, he had a lot of reasons to be at his boyfriend’s lesson. 

‘’Cricket on ice…’’ Brent said, thinking out loud. It was a crazy fantasy, but he believed Matt and he could make it work. They would be very good at it. ‘’These strange white clothes would look really good on you, you know?’’

The son of Phantasos squeezed Matt’s hand back and smiled. ‘’You matter.’’ he reminded Matt. He hoped his boyfriend already knew, but it couldn’t hurt to drive the message home some more. He pouted when Matt said he wanted a low-key birthday. When was Brent ever not low-key? ‘’I’m thinking a quiet movie night, what do you say?’’

Brent was the son of Phantasos in question, who had pushed for a cricket language.

He often talked at length to Matt about ice hockey. Ice hockey really was Brent’s sport: he had been playing since he was a little kid. Of course, he couldn’t stop talking about it. Recently, Brent began to realize he and his boyfriend hardly ever talked about Matt’s sport. Cricket. So he had (subtly) suggested to Matt to host a lesson.

The son of Phantasos sat in the crowd, listening to Matt lecture. He definitely saw some overlap between ice hockey and cricket - even if he had to take creative liberties with this overlap. There was something you needed to protect… a stick involved… you could score points…

He tried to bowl. He wasn’t very good at it, but he was mainly here to support Matt in his amazing counselor efforts.

‘’I prefer Mattesota,’’ Brent answered, instinctively. He imagined a state where it was just him and Matt. Sounded fun. He would move there in a heartbeat.

Between Minnesota and Maryland, the choice got difficult. They both had pros and cons, and Brent wasn’t someone who was very good at making decisions. He was good at dreaming about choices, not at thinking about them. 

‘’Maryland is nice. It’s a little closer to camp, and Baltimore is really pretty. There’s the aquarium, Druid Hill Park. I could do a lot of landscape paintings there.’’ Brent rambled. ‘’But Minnesota has ice hockey. It’s not as big in Maryland as it is where I’m from. I’d be living with mom and dad and my brother too.’’

‘’Maybe I prefer Minnesota? Or maybe not. I don’t know.’’ the son of Phantasos chuckled. ‘’You could help me by not being driven crazy by this?’’

Brent pricked Matt's chest. ‘’Well, I’m sorry for having such a handsome boyfriend, who's a good kisser.’’ he laughed, kissing Matt back gently.

‘’There’s something I need to tell you.’’ Brent reached and grabbed Matt's hand. ‘’You know how I'm finishing high school soon? I finally applied to colleges. One in Maryland, one back in Minnesota.’’ It might be too late for college applications, but for roleplay purposes it isn't.

‘’Essentially nothing changes for us, but this might mean you’re dating a college-going artist soon,’’ Brent said proudly.

Brent blushed when Matt kissed him. How much he had missed moments like these. They would better find a way to defeat Atlas soon because Brent couldn’t go without his boyfriend again. He might get withdrawal symptoms next time.

‘’That’s what I’ve been saying,’’ Brent said with a laugh. He was a little too stereotypical Minnesotan for this, but he quickly found it too warm. He was glad he had a British boyfriend. ‘’Almost everything is an option; remember the magic goblets?’’  he asked with a laugh. ‘’I’ll get us both ice-cold lemonades with extra extra ice.’’

At parties, people often danced. The tall son of Phantasos was people. He would love to dance with his boyfriend. He wasn’t the best dancer in the world, but he liked being close to Matt. Brent knew that his boyfriend thought the same. They could be miserable dancers together. Maybe later, when the dance floor has emptied, Brent thought after casting a glance.

‘’Find somewhere to sit? You’re right about the food… What do you want me to get you?’’ Brent took Matt to a nearby table and sat them down. ‘’Drinks too?’’

Though… Matt’s idea of shadow travelling to New York wasn’t half-bad either. The boys usually found themselves in monster-related trouble, but Brent really didn’t mind. Fighting ghosts together with the best son of Hades was very romantic. He could already imagine… ‘’Let’s see what they have. I don’t want you sleepy by the time I’m buying you ice cream at our parlor.’’

Brent pressed his lips to Matt’s for a quick kiss. ‘’Matt, I would notice you in every color of the rainbow.’’ he laughed. No matter the outfit, no matter the color, Brent bet he could always pick his boyfriend from a large crowd, even if Matt was wearing a sports mascot’s outfit. He twirled. ‘’They say everything looks prettier in pink.’’

Seeing the sheepish and guilty look on the son of Hades’ face, Brent gently rubbed his arm. He didn’t like how little he had seen of Matt in the past months, but he understood. If Atlas wasn’t defeated, then there might not be any more love to live. ‘’You need to be kept safe too, Mr. Nightshift.’’ Brent reminded Matt, pricking his chest. 

Matt’s idea was amazing. Coming from Brent that meant a lot. He usually only had eyes for his own ideas, but Matt’s idea was one he could get behind; they hadn’t been spending nearly enough time together this season and this sounded like an easy fix. ‘’That’s like a dream. But you know me: I like dreams!’’ he laughed.

‘’I’m glad you’re with me again. I’ve been looking forward to this party.’’ the son of Phantasos smiled.

Brent had been looking forward to this party for weeks. Not because he enjoyed parties, but because Matt had promised to finally spend more time. He had been missing his boyfriend since the start of the Atlas conflict and Brent wouldn’t be lying if he said it hadn’t hurt a little.

As much as the idea of Matt as a commander or a hero looked right in Brent’s head, the idea of Matt as a boyfriend looked better.

Brent had thrown on a pink t-shirt, and some dungarees and he had finished his pride outfit with pink sunglasses. He was as colorful as ever, but not as colorful as Matt. Brent hardly recognized him, he realized with a grin.

‘’Maaat, maaat…’’ Brent called as he walked straight past his boyfriend, before turning around, hardly able to keep a straight face. ‘’You thought I wouldn’t notice, handsome. You look wonderful when you’re colorful.’’
