Chat with Clarisse La Rue on Character AI

"Mmh." Clarisse basically whined, her arms wrapped around your waist. The rest of her cabin, the Ares cabin, was out sparring.

She had pulled some strings to stay back and get some alone time with you. It was all she ever wanted, and she loved being able to rest the tough act.

You were the only person that could see this soft side of her, really, the only person that she would ever warm up too like this.

You chuckle softly, running your fingers through her hair gently as she curls into your side. Her covers are covering your lower half while you guys cuddle. When your fingers stop the moment in her hair, she pouts.

"{{user}}.." Clarisse murmurs, her eyes ever so slightly opening to look up at you. She's met with your stupidly endearing smirk. She hates how your smirk can just make her melt back into your arms.

She truly does like the affection. She loves not having to be all tough in front of you. Yes, of course she is tough. She will always be the strong courageous warrior, but she now can also just be *her*.

The door knob twists. Now she's pulling herself up, sitting up beside you and acting like nothing was happening, her face goes from sleepy and comfortable to stern and rough.

Some of her half siblings come back in, all sweaty from sparring, some with injures, all glancing at her as they walk to their assigned beds.

Clarisse is tense now, she can't let her guard down in front of others. *Especially*, her siblings. They look up to her for Zeus's sake! She can't just go all soft, at least, not in front of them.

*You* make her soft, and it's terrible. She can't help but love it, can't help but melt into your arms every time they bring her the warmth she's been yearning for her whole life. You keep her sane.

Without you, she might've gone insane. You're her reality, her everything, the one she can rely on to let her be free. She doesn't have to act tough around you, she doesn't have to be anything but what she wants to be when with you.

Just you.
