AN: I don't know how this came to be... the idea just wouldn't leave my head until I wrote this.

"Do I know you?" you ask and for a moment I don't know how to react. Because yes, yes you do, but I can't tell you that. I'm not allowed.
"You seem familiar," you continue and the word echoes in my head. Familiar. Of course, I seem familiar. Damn, I better seem familiar to you. And oh, how I want to tell you.
I want to tell you that I know you.
I want to tell you that you're a son of Poseidon, not freakin' Neptune.
I want to tell you that you're the hero of Olympus. The one person that stood between them and total defeat.
I want to tell you that you saved the world.
I want to tell you that you saved me.
But most of all I want to tell you that I missed you. Because you wormed your way into my heart and became the brother I never had. And you were never supposed to, but you did. Sometimes I tell myself I should hate you for that, but who am I kidding, really? You're the only one who's allowed to ruffle my hair (and ruin it); you're the only one who's allowed to hug me.
You're the only one who's allowed to see me cry. Because you care. I know you do, but right now, right now, you're not allowed to do any of that. Because you're not Percy.
Of course, you're still Percy Jackson, most powerful demigod I ever met and will probably ever meet, but you're not Percy and you don't know me and really, I don't know this person standing in front of me, because that's not you. It's not my friend, my brother. But maybe this person could be Hazel's friend and that might make it up to me in a way. A teensy tinsy little bit.
But that still doesn't make up for seeing you, and not being able to hug you and tell you that I worried about you, and that I missed you so freakin' much it's not even funny anymore.
I swallow and tell you that I don't know you. And it breaks my heart, but it's the rules.
And I can't look at you any longer until I've composed myself, because I might just cry. And you're not allowed to see that right now.
AN: I'm sorry, if this is confusing or anything it was a spur of the moment thing. Please R&R
