Rather than another sunny, beautiful day at Camp Half Blood, the day wasn't quite living up to Fletcher's expectations. He wanted to be able to lay out and become gorgeously tan, but that wasn't going to happen with all the clouds in the sky. It was a gloomy day that was taking the boy's spirits down with it. At least it wasn't raining, right? Given the lack of sunshine, the beach seemed to be deserted; the silence was only broken as the water lapped against the shore. It was serene and a great place to clear the mind and think. Thinking had never gotten Fletch too far in life, but a few reflections and a casual mental conversation with his father seemed to do him good. He'd yet to miss the gentle kiss of the sun against his skin, but the sun kissing his skin had been his only goal for the day. For a split second Fletch caught himself thinking that being tan didn't necessarily mean being handsome, but the thought was wiped away. Being someone who was usually very pale in the later seasons, he figured it was better to get a glow that would stay with him for a while. He probably could have negotiated a deal or something with Apollo that allowed him to keep that glow but he didn't think it was that important. Though he was vain, he wasn't that vain. Without realizing it, the boy sent a large hand up to gently caress his cheekbone. He vaguely recalled his mother telling him that he was the image of a Greek sculpture, which now seemed to be more understandable than ever before. His father, Apollo, was said to be the most handsome of all the gods. Fletch felt he'd inherited that gene. It was pretty obvious that he was daydreaming, at least from afar. Clad in a form-fitting blue tee and a pair of khaki shorts, he looked like any other male camper around, save the fact that it was kind of noticeable that he'd done something with his hair. | ||
