Leo's eyes felt like they would water, but he held it back.

"Everyone might feel that way sometimes, but not everyone has a damn choice in the matter Nico."

That verbal punch hit Nico hard; 'if it's a battle he wants, why not?' Nico looked up about to say something but when he saw the fear in Leo's eyes, he stopped. ' No, wait, that's not what he wants. He's scarred, like an animal barking.'

"Leo, I never said you had a choice in the things that happened to you, I'm saying you don't have to live through it alone like I did."

Leo felt a tear fall, then more, he couldn't stop them. He kept mumbling silently, Nico could barely make out words like "stop it" "I hate you" "I hate this" "Why am I alone"

Nico started to feel bad seeing the state the boy in front of him was in, 'it's my fault he's like this...' Nico found himself getting closer to him, 'I went too far, didn't I?'

Nico barely noticed as he moved up close to Leo, wrapping an arm around his waist.

"Leo, you aren't alone, I'm here."

Leo looked up, glaring at Nico fiercely, "You think I like that? Do you think you can just tell me it's alright and expect me to fall into your arms? I'm not some dumb bimbo princess Nico! I don't need some stupid prince to save me! I don't need you!" Leo got up from the bed, and walked out the door, leaving Nico behind him, unable to reply.
