Work Text:
Dear Percy,
Can I ask you a question? Are you ever afraid of making wrong choices? I am. I think that's something we could both work on. Can I be honest? I'm not sure I remember much before you came into my life like a whirlwind. I've been chasing that feeling ever since.
Anyway, onto what I’ve been meaning to ask. We've had so many miscommunications, weird circumstances, dancing around and around these subjects over and over. Forgive me, but I'd like some explanations.
Have you ever had someone kiss you in a crowded room? Well… don't answer that. I know that answer. Let me try a different question. Why did you leave my cabin in the middle of the night? When we argued, when I left, did you wish you put up more of a fight? When I said it was too much, did you wish you could still touch me? It's just a question.
Was I ever on your mind? Were you jealous when you saw me with Will? It seemed like it, almost as if you were on something. The three of us got caught up in a discussion about politics and gender roles and I don't know. I'd just… like to have a conversation.
Does it ever feel like everything's just second best after us? After our meteor strike? I heard you’re still with Annabeth. That’s nice, I’m sure that’s more… suitable.
It’s just a question.
Nico.
Nico crumples up the letter and tosses it in the trash.
