The Accident
I sit by the sea shore. I like looking at the sea. I like the way it reminds me of Percy's eyes. I like how it reminds me of his power. I like how it reminds me of him. While I was reminiscing, I see him about 100 meters away. I run towards him but then, I stopped. He was kissing with someone, a blonde-haired girl. Annabeth. Her eyes open and see me. "Oh gods, Nico no." Tears are streaming down her face. Percy turned and saw me. "Nico, no this is not –" I ran. I didn't look back. The pain was just excruciating. I never should have trusted him. He is a bastard. He is a good-for-nothing son of Poseidon.
I arrived in my cabin, tears streaming down my face. My heart is scarred. My soul feels lost. I don't know what to do. I lied down on my bed. I cried. Then I heard someone knock then open the door. Oh gods, I forgot to lock the damn door. "Nico." It was Percy. "What the fuck do you want? Can't you see you have hurt me far enough?! HOW MUCH DO YOU THINK I CAN FUCKING TAKE?!" I broke down. I lied there. Then he went beside me. He hugged me. "Nico. I'm sorry. That meant nothing. I promise." I shrugged him off and sat up. "Stay the fuck away." He placed his hand on my shoulder. "Nico please. Just face me and listen to my explanation." I faced him. "Don't you dare explain because –" He kissed me. I was shivering. I wanted that but at the same time I wanted to slap him. I pushed him away. "Stop. Just stop." I looked at him. His eyes are full of sadness. His arms are full of scratches. "Nico. She initiated it not me I'm sorry." He looked down. His tears now stain my bed sheet. "Percy." He looked at me. I kissed him. "It's okay Percy." I touched some of his scratches. "Where'd you get this?" I asked full of worry. "From looking for you. I was worried. I didn't mean to hurt you. I'm so –" "Shhh. It's okay now." I smiled and looked at him. His sea-green eyes bore to my brown ones. "I love you Percy and I'm sorry I reacted that way." "I love you too Nico." And we kissed.
I woke up the next day in his arms. The arms I know that would protect me forever. I look at him and stared at his face. Setting aside his drool, he looks perfect. I now look at the person I once coveted but now have. The person who has scarred me at first but now has sealed them all with his love. The person that I know I will live with forever.
His eyes open. "Good morning Nico." He smiles. I smile back. "Good morning stupid." He laughs then we kiss. How I wish that that moment would just pause forever. In that moment, I felt like we were the only two in the world. No gods who mess with our fate. No quests to meddle with our chances of survival. It's just me and him, kissing. Yes, how I'd love this moment to never end.
