Disclaimer: I do not own Percy Jackson and the Olympians or Heroes of Olympus
Well, I don't have the motivation or ideas for a regular update, so I figured I would write a quick one-shot. I guess a songfic, this is based on the song Another Night by Mac Miller (Explicit), and will only be a few hundred words long, so I hope you enjoy it.
Percy's POV
It was just like any other night on the Argo II. I laid in my bed, trying to go through my nightly routine of relaxing enough that I could fall asleep. I needed the rest, and I couldn't afford to be tired in battle, or if I was needed to make a decision.
I held my eyes shut, but couldn't help but think of the lines of the Prophecy, and try to guess what would happen. Who would make it? Who woulnd't? Would I be able to save everyone I could, or would I let it slip again, like I had with Bianca?
I rolled over on my bed and clutched my pillow, shutting my eyes and trying to hold the memories and feelings out.
If I could just have someone here to comfort me, to understand, then it would be easier, but no one could, and no one should, I'm the leader, the strong one, the flawless one, the one who can't make mistakes, who can't be broken. I needed to uphold that image.
I held my pillow close to my chest, trying to find something to block out the stress, the thoughts, the everything.
I just wished there could be someone, anyone... I need someone else here.
But that can't happen, and even so, I'll find a way to make it through, right? After all, it's just Another Night on my own.
I know it was short, but I said it would be. I hope you enjoyed it, I just felt like writing this, and I hope it was worth your time to read. Have a good day, and go find someone so you don't spend a night alone.
