But his body has wants now what his mind doesn’t see.  He sees his friend, he doesn’t think for a moment that she would use her powers upon him.  Little does he know…but he listens to her.  “Save him from himself…”  He repeats absently not knowing he is being reeled in like a big mouth bass waiting to be stuffed and mounted like some trophy upon her wall.  “…see anything else….find something better…”  That phrase hinges in his mind cause he has often thought that himself.    He knew Phoenix was poly…but was she really…was Phoenix really open to others or was he simply a pit stop to her true love which after all this time they had been together he had come to realize it wasn’t him.  Even the Zeus spawn and the daughter of Aphrodite have seemingly moved in that direction.  Having seen them at the ceremony going in, it seems as if even they could have some semblance of love and affection in public…why not him?<strong><em>‘Why NOT HIM?’ </em></strong>The last thought rolled over in his mind as he continued to listen.  "…horrible….mistake?..."<br/><br/>He shook to clear his head as he touched her cheek.  “Why would he not listen to you?  You are his friend…but sometimes people don’t see things that are right in front of their faces even when it is pointed out.  If he is your friend it is you not your reputation that he will hear.” He turned to lift her chin and turn her towards him.<br/><br/>“He does care what you have to say more than you think, your reputation doesn’t matter only that you are honest and true.” He looked at her and blushed.  “There is another girl that would and could make him happy who Stevie what other girls have any interest in the workaholic doctor.  Who in their right mind would want to be with someone with barely a refractory period?  That would be all over them from the moment they go up till sunset simply because he desired them and no other.  Tell me why that woman would bot see me as more than her plaything as well and would not be looking for the next bbd also?”  (bbd = bigger, better, deal)  He let his eyes meet her own, he leaned in to let his lips brush hers lightly.<br/><br/><strong><em> ‘Phoenix did tell you, yes and you have never been out on a true public date with her…so everyone in the camp could see them together.’ </em></strong>He leaned forward and kissed her, it was a light tender kiss nothing too deep as he didn’t even know where he was going with it. His mind was still trying to protect him even if he wouldn’t protect himself..<strong> <em> ‘Would you ever use your powers on me?  Would I be your true choice or just another notch in your bedpost too?’</em>  </strong>He didn’t voice that thought…she was still his friend and he didn’t want to hurt her by making her think…he didn’t trust her too!<br/><br/>“So guys like me wouldn’t believe you when you are being sincere.  Would you tell me if you found someone or you thought I was making a mistake Stevie…that is what friends are supposed to do right?  Protect one another even from themselves..”  He said as he captured her cheeks and simply held her and wiped where the tears would be.  “If you tell me the truth I will listen,” he moved to face her and stand in front of her.<br/>
