Write something on your own skin, appears on the other's skin as well
Summary: Nico talks to his soulmate.
My submission to 7-21st prompts for the Camp Half-Blood Forums
Nico came home beaten up, as usual, he flopped face first into his bed, ignoring the pain that coursed through his petite body.
He can't find a word that could describe his hatred for school and his classmates even if he tried.
His pillow muffled his screams and cries, also cutting out his oxygen supply while he's doing it.
He lived in a huge mansion, as he lived with his dad and step-mom, who owns a very large business.
They were almost never home, so the pale boy was always alone. Meaning no one can hear him if he cried for help.
If only Bianca hadn't left him. Who was Bianca you might say? She was Nico's older sister, a girl who had died saving her friends from a murderer in New York on an innocent field trip.
Nico cried until he had no more tears left. He sat up, his face stained with tears.
He reached for his pen, wincing when his arm stretched, finally feeling the cold shape of the pen, he wrote something on his pale bony arm.
Hey
That was the word that he had always started his conversation with Percy.
Percy Jackson, his soulmate, and possibly his only friend. Although he had never seen what Percy looked like, he had fallen in love.
Someone who gives him the motivation to wake him up in the morning, Percy was really the only reason why Nico was still alive.
What's up? Did something happen? Who do I need to beat up?
The blue ink he had known so well, had appeared on the young boy's skin. Nico laughed at Percy's response.
You don't need to beat up anyone, and plus, you live in New York.
Nico blushed at how caring the older boy was, although he really wanted Percy there with him, Percy had school and had to study.
It's called a plane.
I thought you hate flying?
I'd do anything for you ;)
Nico rolled his eyes, but he felt his lips form a smile.
I'm on my Christmas break right now, I maybe might visit you.
No fair :( Why would you visit me? Please don't visit me, I don't want you to go through the struggle of actually getting here.
To be honest, Nico would love to meet Percy, to finally see what his soulmate looks like.
What if he doesn't like me?
What if I wasn't what he thought I looked like…
What if he hates me like everyone else?
What if I was too deathly-looking for him?
Thoughts filled his mind and suddenly Nico didn't want to meet Percy anymore.
So what are you doing right now?
Nico wrote changing the subject, maybe one day they could meet when he was ready.
Well, Annabeth and Grover are over right now, we're binge-watching Hardy Hooter.
The two soulmates wrote to each other till Nico fell asleep smiling to himself.
