The monkey (tries) getting the Goldfish out of trouble🗡️
———————————
PATROCLUS hummed as he let the water run and covering his once sticky hands. Those grapes and chocolate milk would never be enough for his Asian stomach, he missed the temple, he missed how his ba and brother would gather at the dining table for lunch. No matter how busy they were.
As the Chinese saying goes—nothing is more important than family. You should bring honour and repay your parents for taking good care of you.
The only reason he was studying here was because he was just not made for Asian schools. It was too much to handle, the stress, the expectations teachers had.
During those days he had developed a hatred for a certain word— potential.
Patroclus remember, he remembered everyone of his teacher's words to his father.
"Your son has so much potential— if only he weren't so lazy."
"He's a capable young man Mr Wu—he just needs to try harder."
Just thinking of those words made Patroclus unconsciously grip the sink harder as he bit his lower lip.
He hated himself.
Why must he be like this?
His father said that the monkey king blessed him with intelligence that came with a price.
Those words used to calm his rage down, but that was when he was a child. And now that child is long gone. He grew up. That's what.
Patroclus broke out of his trance when he heard his phone ringing, the familiar ringtone of Conner's screams made the depressed boy crack a smile. The smile stretched wider when the caller ID stated—
'Blondie <3'
"Hello! Patroclus's therapy and loan shark company! If you're looking to book an appointment IM afraid the next one is ten years after his death!" Patroclus greeted the caller as he was met with a familiar voice of a certain Blondie.
They got mobile phones secretly as Chiron specifically advised that no demigod should use cellphones as its signal broadcasts itself for any monsters nearby. But Blondie and Patroclus pulled some strings together and got their hands on phones. At first it's supposed to be for emergencies only. But as time passed they used it more over spring, then autumn and winter and so on.
"Hmm..does the company allow best friend passes to skip the line?"Patroclus visibly relaxed when he heard the familiar voice.
"Always if it's you.." Patroclus chuckled, "anyways what's up?"
"Nothing actually. I just missed you."
"Wow. Couldn't get enough of me huh~? Didn't we just call like- last night?" Patroclus smiled as he teased Blondie.
"Yea well— you know me. An Achilles who can't live without his best warrior Patroclus."
"Oh my gods...I swear if you people have to stop it with these jokes..."
"Not my fault someone is named after the infamous Patroclus."
Silence took over as two boys considered what to say next.
