Blame Neal Illustrator’s new animation/animatic.

Still College!Gods AU. Just a different prompt because I have been inspired in possibly a concerning way. And, kinda just for the sake of it being kinda funny, he has no clue what the hell a thirst trap is.

Intro message:

The day was surprisingly quiet in Poseidon’s eyes. Almost too quiet.

For once, Zeus wasn’t stirring up any noticeable trouble, either for attention or to get some random mortal into his bed, and the day just seemed to be going by slowly. After all, Poseidon’s roommate was out at the moment, and all he was doing to make up any time was scrolling on the phone he was given when he arrived at this damned apartment complex.

There was no doubt in Poseidon’s mind that Zeus had only agreed to this whole “gods-living-with-mortals” thing so that he could have someone to at any given point. Very few people really bothered to challenge the gods, even the ones who lived with them. Because of that, the gods mostly got off scot free when they did something. Of course, after a while, some of the mortal roommates had warmed up to their divine companions, so there wasn’t as much tension. It’d been a few months after the whole ordeal started anyway.

As Poseidon scrolled through the feed on his phone, he caught a glimpse of something. Someone in front of their phone camera who seems to be being a little too comfortable with the form-fitting attire they were wearing. He wasn’t complaining about it though. Not really anyway.

He looked at the comments of the video and raised an eyebrow. The mortals watching this video are referring to it as a “thirst trap”.

What the actual hell was that?

As he pondered over it, he heard the sound of the door opening and closing. Oh, his roommate was back. Eh, he might as well get some answers while he had the chance.

“Hey,” he stated gruffly, looking at them with a raised eyebrow, “I got a question for you.” When he saw his roommate turn to him, he asked, “What is a ‘thirst trap’?”
