In which Kyungsoo just wants to get used to life as a demigod, but a certain somebody keeps distracting him.

"Let me guess," the redhead jumped off the tree's branch and his lips slowly stretched into a wide grin, as he approached them. "Brooding. Scary eyes. Looks like he'll hit you. Ten bucks says Ares."
"Nice try," the boy walking in front of him grumbled.
"What, not Ares?" the redhead seemed genuinely surprised, as he approached them and looked at him like he was a piece exhibited in a museum. It truly made him feel uncomfortable. "Who then?"
The boy who had found him stopped in his place and turned around to give him a look. An unreadable one, before he glanced back at the redhead.
"He had the helm of darkness circling over his head like a halo when we found him. Which is funny, cause there was a Fury after his ass," he shrugged. "Guess she didn't get the memo from her boss."
Kyungsoo bit on his lower lip as his eyes moved from Suho, the boy who had saved him, towards the redhead whose grin had disappeared and whose eyebrows were gradually rising higher and higher up his forehead. He gave him yet another once-over that made him feel incredibly self-conscious.
"Huh. Would have been my second guess."
"Right." Suho said, jugging his chin at the redhead. "I have to bring him to Chiron."
The redhead nodded thoughtfully, before perching himself back on the tree again.
"You most certainly have to. What's your name?"
His eyes shot up and his breathing was pretty heavy when he realized the redhead was actually talking to him.
"Kyungsoo."
"Well, Kyungsoo," The redhead grinned again and there was something absolutely radiant about his smile. "Welcome to Camp Half Blood."
Too much.
If Kyungsoo had to describe what he thought and how he felt by the end of the day, that would be the only thing he'd be able to say. It was too much.
In the span of only a few hours, he had been attacked by a woman, who had proceeded to turn into an evolved, deadly bat with claws. He had watched a boy emerge with a large sword (it was the 21st century, come on) and fight said bat. He had been hauled up by a half-goat, half-human and respectively had earned himself a string of offended curses and dirty glares when he'd asked what he was. A satyr, he had learned, was the correct term.
He had been told that what he learned in his foreign literature class about Greek Mythology was actually all true, and that boy with the sword was claiming that his mother was the Goddess of Wisdom, that he too had a Greek god as a parent, and that he had to throw his phone away. Immediately.
Kyungsoo had been still too stunned from witnessing the tiny middle aged woman suddenly growing wings and ugly fangs to realize that Wisdom sword boy and half-goat-man were pulling him towards a car and then driving way over the speed limit.
His misadventures didn't end there, though. Wisdom boy – Suho – had spent the drive staring out the windows every now and then, while explaining to Kyungsoo everything about their supposed parents.
Kyungsoo had started growing concerned, that he was being kidnapped. That those two were simply bonkers. However, every time he looked towards the driver's seat and saw the hairy goat legs of the man driving, and every time he tried to look for an explanation, that he didn't really find, he would sigh out, knit his eyebrows and listen to what Suho had to tell him.
