Proverbs 6:27 NLT
Can a man scoop a flame into his lap and not have his clothes catch on fire?
Can a man burn his heart over and over again and not feel the sting on his soul?
Why do we believe the lies we tell ourselves, even when we know they are lies?
Why do we seek love in the wrong places?
Nico can be kind of a slut at times.
Almost every person at camp, both female and male, have been seduced by the Ghost King.
He loved how he could make others feel sexy and adored. He thrived on how sex made him feel.
He liked to hop bars, looking for mortals. Sometimes he would take a shy mousey girl to his apartment, other times he would take a tattoo covered biker guy. It didn't really matter who it was, just as long as Nico got some.
Rachel would always shake her head at him, telling him that he could be so much better then this. That he could be so much more then the local slut, and why would he want to have sex with so many people?
Nico would always just shrug callously, then wink at Rachel, asking if she wants a piece of him. She would just wrinkle her nose at him and go back to whatever she was doing.
Yeah, Nico would think to himself. Why do I sleep with all these people?
Because Nico needs love.
He needs to thought of, to be wanted.
He hooks up and sleeps with random people, because for at least one night, someone wants him. Someone thinks that he is worth spending the night with.
He needs to be remembered. To be worth sleeping with. To be worth staying with.
But no one stays with him. They all leave in the morning, and Nico is all by himself. And he has to do it all over again. Because he doesn't want to be alone. Because even though they give him their bodies, they won't give him their heart. Even if he has already given them his.
So he keeps looking around, searching for, sleeping with, everyone; until he finds someone who will stay.
Because he needs to know that he won't be alone; won't be abandoned. Not again. He doesn't need another Bianca.
'Cause it hurt so much the first time, and he needs to know it won't happen again.
So even though he knows its useless, he still sleeps around.
Nico keeps screwing around, and he keeps getting burned, because in the end, that's all he really knows.
Because in the end sex will bring him the love he so desperately searches for.
Why do we believe the lies we tell ourselves, even when we know they are lies?
Because they are the only things that keep us warm in the night. Because it is easier to tell yourself that you only have to sleep with one more person to find love, then to tell yourself that no one will ever love you.
Why do we search for love in the wrong places?
Because it is the only way we know how to look. Even when that way proves ineffective we still do it over and over again. Because we're all afraid of being alone.
A/N If there's any pairings you want me to write, just say it, I'm always looking for new pairings to write about. :D
Reviews are love.
