Pleading Eyes

Jealousy At It's Max

A couple noisy moments later and a few concerning looks his way, sheesh did he look that bad? Percy was ushered hurriedly into Hyuga-san's impeccable pristine office.

"Sit down please, I'll have a servant send for my wife, she'll kill me if I don't let her help you in any way. Would you mind looking my way?"

The son of Poseidon awkwardly forced his eyes to stayed trained onto the white pupil-less eyes of the Hyuga clan leader as he held his tanned hands tightly to keep them from restlessly twitching.

"Mhmm."

Stiff back straightened further as the Hyuga in front of him leaned in closer to stare into his burning eyes, thoughtful look on his face as he carefully examined Percy's eyes. Muttering under his breath about eyes holding the sea and how it wasn't fair that they seemed to swirl beautifully and change as every second ticked by.

Percy forced himself to keep still as Hyuga-san, who never really did tell him his name but then again, Percy didn't ask, moved his long lean fingers close to his eyes as he prepared himself to prod softly at Percy's beautifully colored orbs.

Only for both men to jump in surprise as the door slid open violently and the Hyuga's fingers poked Percy's eyes unwillingly, startled yelps coming from both of them as the clan leader hurriedly pulled his fingers away from the demigod's pained eyes.

"Oh my! What did you do? Are you trying to blind him?!"

The Hyuga man looked up with a fearful expression on his face, hands shaking faintly as he recognized that reprimanding voice, her medium height looming over the seated Hyuga clan leader as one of her dainty hands hovered protectively over her swelling tummy, eyes narrowed as she flickered white pupil-less eyes between the cursing male clutching at his burning eyes and the person responsible for his pain.

"Hakuto, explain. Now."

Hyuga Hakuto cringed at the use of his name, vaguely remembering that he never did say what his name was to the teary-eyed male still muttering what he was sure were curses in another weird foreign language, and he looked back up to his expectant wife and tried his best to explain what had happened.

"Hirari, I was just trying to-"

But his wife, Hirari Hyuga, never let him finish explaining as she sent him one last glare before her face softened at the sight of the still teary-eyed man and then she was crossing the room towards him.

Percy continued muttering curses in a mix of Latin and Ancient Greek as he tried to get rid of the never ending stream of tears, Oh Gods, why did Hakuto have to poke him in the eyes so hard, well at least he knew his name now thanks to his wife, Hirari was it?

Soft and gentle hands cradled his face with such kind and tender ease that Percy teared up a little bit more, the feeling reminding him too much of his own mother's soft and caring touch.

He would never be able to go to her for comfort anymore.

Because she was dead.

Just like everyone else.

Both Hyuga's said nothing as they stared in shock at the suddenly pale man in front of them, trembling hands rubbing at both eyes as they tried to stop the tears from rolling down his scarred face, body shaking like a leaf in the wind as heartbreaking whines were ripped out of his mouth.

Hirari didn't know what else to do to comfort the man, a complete stranger, a very scarred stranger, and so she leaned forward and softly wiped away his tears, thumbs carefully stroking the scarred sides of the man's face. Hakuto on the other hand, was absolutely terrified as he watched in mortification as his pregnant wife comforted the crying man, he didn't think he'd poked his eyes that hard, this was making him feel like an absolute scum bag.
