When I first arrived at Camp Half Blood, I learnt the true meaning of 'love at first sight.' I was wounded, weak, at the brink of death when I stumbled across the gates of the camp. I knew I was going to die, and the gods could honestly care less. I had so little hope. Then, I saw your eyes. They were heart-stoppingly blue. Beautiful, breathtaking, mesmerising blue. I could stare at them for hours and hours and hours.

I felt people rushing toward me, but all I cared about was you and your eyes. They made whatever little hope I had in me shine, and suddenly my depleting energy was renewed. I never really understood what 'Love' was, until I saw you. You gave me the butterflies just thinking about you. And the thought that, possibly, I could call you mine sent delightful tingles down my spine.

You were beautiful, and in my mind...

I could call you mine.

###

The first week at camp was... undescribable. You took care of me everyday, always worrying, so concerned. And everyday, I kept falling in love with you. You laughed with me, you stayed with me, you became my friend.

And I still believed that one day, the Fates will allow me to call you...

Mine.

###

When I was healthy enough to be discharged from the infirmary, I prayed so hard that I wouldn't be a son of Apollo. So hard. And my prayers were answered, I was claimed by Aphrodite. I took it as an obvious sign that the Fates were planning some sort of thing. I saw you less often now, you were always busy in the infirmary, with your cabin mates. But whenever I did see you, you'd wave, and that smile'll be on my face again.

I'd definitely call you mine.

###

Sometimes, the Fates played cruel games, and I, have been played by them. I was going to ask you, tonight. But then, the dark haired son of Hades appeared in the picture.

I liked him. He was funny. I definitely liked him.

Until I saw the look on your face when you saw him talking to me. Several emotions ran past you face.

Despair, anguish, anger, then... tenderness. I would've known that look from anywhere. It's the same look that's on my face every single day. Whenever I see you.

You run to him, tears already in your eyes, as though you couldn't believe that he was here.

"You're staying?!" You said it like it was the most important thing in the world.

Like it could save you from stormy seas.

And...it seemed like it did.

You were drowning, and I didn't know.

And yet, I still believed that you would be in my arms one day.

That I could call you mine.

###

A kiss.

Like a fool I believed that I could have you. Always a fool, I am. Such a fool.

Only fools fell so hard and so fast.

We were at the dining hall, and he, despite the rules, was sitting at your table.

And as much as it infuriated me, the other campers acted like it didn't bother them.

Like it was...normal.

That's when it happened.

You turn to him, and he smiled at you. He leaned forward, closing the gap that existed between both of you.

The hall erupted in chaos, and I saw my cabin mates exchanging money. My heart ate itself up, locking itself in my chest.

The noise was too loud. Everyone cheered.

Everyone just seemed so pleased.

I couldn't call you mine anymore.

Fates.

They play a cruel game.

With your heart.

With your mind.

###

Angry. Angry at everything. But yet, the anger seems to dissolve when I see the happiness that shines in your stunningly blue eyes. Even he seems undescribably happy around you. Both of you were always together, as though making up for all the time you were apart. And Camp Half Blood seemed to like that.

And I? I didn't.

You were supposed to be mine.

Not to Nico.

You belong to me.

But who am I kidding?

It's true love, right there and then. Any fool could tell.

But he makes you happy.

And as much as I hated to admit, he probably makes you happier than I ever could.

And if that's what it takes, I'll let you go.

Just to see the happiness in you.

For you...

To be happy.

End.
