Headcanon that whenever Percy is swordfighting, he thinks of Luke.
Subconsciously, like "How would Luke disarm this guy?" He doesn't even realize he's doing it .
And it makes sense coz although Percy fought a lot of monsters, he hasn't fought a lot of swordsmen. Case in point: in HoO Percy admits that he hadn't progressed much further as a swordsman than he thought.
In fact, most of Percy's combat experience is from the Titan War.
Luke taught him how to fight with a sword, and then proceeded to spend the next 4 years fighting him, both directly and indirectly, so in a vague roundabout way, Luke continued being his swordfighting instructor even after he left CHB.

Going hand-in-hand with the last post, Luke being the only one who doesn’t treat Percy like he’s stupid for having questions. 🗡️❤️🌊

meanwhile every peace of media that includes:

The more I think about it, the more I think Rick realizes how romantic his original material would be if literally translated to screen. Discounting the scorpion and add Annabeth in there for flavor, but going into the woods with your cooler older guy friend (who makes you blush and shares his private coke-cola stash with you before pulling out his sword-) like fire works in the woods at night is one thing in bisexual lighting, confessions by the lake is my baby (same lake Percy and Annabeth had their best underwear kiss... WAIT A MINUTE- DON’T CROSS THIS OUT!)

Book Canon.
Little 12 yo Percy, holding out flowers: Luke, I like like you!
Luke, literally right about to betray Percy, reveal he's the lightning thief, and leave him to die:
Luke stares at the kid holding out sunflowers to him. The same color as Lukes hair. Percy smiles so wide and happy his eyes are closed, he looks like one of those Chinese smiling cats. Luke continues to stare. So confused. "What are these for?" Luke asks. Luke feels a sick sinking feeling in his stomach(guilt). He thinks he knows the answer.
Blushing Percy says softly, "Just as a thank you for everything you've done. And just because."
To hide the guilt Luke smirks playful "Just because, you gotta give me more than that Percy?"
Percy becomes bashful and embarrassed, " I like you, and I know, I'm not stupid or oblivious like Annabeth. I get it I'm just a kid. You don't see me that way. But your really nice, and it's just your the type of nice person that someone should make a big deal about liking. To know that someone cares about them."
Percy than puts on a brave face to hold out the flowers to Luke, "So don't worry about my feelings or anything. I want you to accept these with no expectations because you deserve it."
Luke for the first time is shocked. He doesn't know what to think. No one's ever done something like this for him before. Every gift he's ever gotten has always had some strings attached. Some selfish reason from the gods or his father. The last time he remembers someone giving him a unselfish gift was his mother. And that brings about a different type of sicking guilt and anger.
But Luke hides that deep inside with his mask of a soft smile. "Thank you," he says as he gently takes the flowers. And he means it. Without thinking he kisses Percy softly and quick on the cheek. Something completely innocent but no less genuine.
Percy turns completely red. But he cups his cheek dazed.
"Why sunflowers,? Luke questions.
Percy still a little dazed answers, "They reminded me of you."
"Well after I put these in water, we can go hang out by the lake and watch the fireworks ok?"
"Ok."
Luke turns, flowers safely in his arms, thinking all the while 'I am a piece of shit'. But he's already made up his mind. It's not like he can turn back. Besides, nice boys giving him flowers are years too late to stop the anger inside. Hurting so much like the scar on his face. Doesn't make him feel any less guilty though. He hugs the flowers tighter. They bring no comfort at all.
