"Ow!" Percy yelped as I dabbed a rag dipped in alcohol on his wound. After Percy fell asleep someone came down and brought some rags, alcohol and a needle and thread.
"If you'd stop moving maybe it would hurt less." I said as I pushed his chest so that his back would press against the wall.
"It hurts." He whined.
"I'm not particularly enjoying this either." I put down the rag. "Time for the fun part." I had threaded the needle earlier so now all I had to do was use it.
"You have to do your best not to move."
"I'll try." Percy grunted as he positioned himself.
"Ready?"
"Do it." He said. I took a deep breath before starting on the first suture. Percy let out a strangled cry as I pulled the thread through.
"Oh god." I mumbled.
"Keep going." Percy groaned. I nodded before starting again. Percy muffled his screams by biting on his fist and soon I came to the last suture.
"Alright Percy, one more." I said. He had tears in his eyes and one spilled over as I pulled the string through one last time. I quickly tied the thread off and placed the needle down before looking up at Percy.
"That wasn't so bad." He said through gritted teeth.
"Percy, don't pretend like it wasn't bad. It was bad." I wiped away the stray tear that stained his cheek.
"It wasn't that bad." He insisted.
"Okay." I grabbed some rags. "I need to bandage it. Lean forward a little."
"Not too tight." He said.
"Not too loose." I began wrapping his shoulder. When I pulled the fabric over the wound he groaned and grabbed one of my hands, keeping me from bandaging further. I looked at him and smirked a little.
"Hurts doesn't it?"
"You are evil." Percy said. "Pure evil."
I raised my eyebrows. "Well then I won't bandage it and let it get infected… and I'll drink all the alcohol." I added as an afterthought.
"Hey, hey I was kidding!" Percy said. "You're so… I like your hair..?" I laughed and was suddenly aware that Percy still had my hand in his grip. I squeezed it and he quickly let go and I continued to bandage. After a long silence Percy spoke again.
"It's too quiet in here." He said.
"Don't sing-"
"I'm going to sing a song." He said. I groaned. I had heard stories from Jason about Percy's random song outbursts.
"There is freedom within, there is freedom without.
Try to catch the, something, something, paper cup."
"You don't even know the words." I said.
"Like you do."
"It's: Try to catch the deluge in a paper cup." I said.
"Whatever." He said as he continued to sing. When he got to the chorus the temptation was too large and I joined in.
"Hey now, hey now,
Don't dream it's over.
Hey now, hey now,
When the world comes in.
They come, they come,
To build a wall between us.
But we know they won't win.
Don't let them win."
I finished bandaging and sat back on my heels. "Wow." Percy said. "Who knew the Wise Girl could sing?"
I laughed. "Speak for yourself, Seaweed Brain. I guess you're not as tone deaf as I thought."
"You thought I was tone deaf?" he asked feigning hurt.
"You're not aloud to be good at everything." I said.
"Pff." Percy said. "Says the girl who is good at everything."
"That is so not true!" I said.
"Alright." Percy said. "Name one thing you're bad at."
"Well," I said. "I am not exceptionally good at…Swimming! Swimming. I am not a good swimmer."
"You're in luck." He said. "I am an excellent swimmer."
"I'll be sure to call you when I'm drowning in the toilet." I stood up and wiped my hands on my pants.
"Sarcasm is my thing." Percy whined.
"Not anymore." I said.
I laughed as Percy pouted. Our relationship had taken a drastic change in the past few days… and maybe that wasn't so bad.
There is freedom within, there is freedom without
Try to catch the deluge in a paper cup
There's a battle ahead, many battles are lost
But you'll never see the end of the road
While you're traveling with me
Hey now, hey now, don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now, when the world comes in
They come, they come to build a wall between us
We know they won't win
Now I'm towing my car, there's a hole in the roof
My possessions are causing me suspicion but there's no proof
In the paper today tales of war and of waste
But you turn right over to the T.V. page
Hey now, hey now, don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now, when the world comes in
They come, they come to build a wall between us
We know they won't win
Now I'm walking again to the beat of a drum
And I'm counting the steps to the door of your heart
Only the shadows ahead barely clearing the roof
Get to know the feeling of liberation and relief
Hey now, hey now, don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now, when the world comes in
They come, they come to build a wall between us
We know they won't win
Don't let them win

I know I'm sorry. I wrote a short chapter and made it seem longer by putting a song at the end. I'm sorry.
I really love this song and it will come in handy with the story
I started watching The 100 and I've been freaking marathoning it and I'm now at S3 E8 and extremely frustrated BECAUSE I WANT BELLARKE BUT ALL I GET IS CLEXA AND I DON'T WANT THAT!
Don't get me wrong if I didn't ship Bellarke this much I'd prob ship Clexa but ARRRRG! (Jk I'd prob not ship Clexa)
It's almost my birthday and I swear if I don't get the books I will go crazy. I heard there is some serious Bellarke in the books… I need Bellarke.
I'm terribly sorry for that random rant.
Review!
