intoxicated i love you || xReader [SEQUEL] [COMPLETED]

eleven // don't say anything - sleeping with sirens

Y/N

Tear this down and start it over //
We've been waiting for so long //
All we had is growing colder //
I remember when we were so strong //

I couldn't tell Nico what happened, even long after Adrian hurried to his own cabin and I pretended to sleep.

It had been hours, definitely, and somehow I still felt a spark of energy between our kiss. It sounded childish and immature, but that moment left us grinning without breaks. Adrian was funny, and 'devilishly handsome', if people even said that anymore. He made me smile, and gave me little goosebumps whenever I saw him, and now I felt as if we could really connect.

Indeed, he still had his black roots. You had to look closely, but they were there. Adrian had a strange way of displaying affection, but after being chosen by Apollo, he's become more open about it.

So maybe knowing his godly heritage was for the best. It took part of him away from me, but at the same time, I got more in return.

Hey Percy,

It's been approximately sixteen hours and fifty two -- fifty three? -- minutes since I've last checked in with you. How's Elysium? Is the place treating you well? I mean, it has to -- it's Elysium for gods sake.

I really hope you're okay. If you've been checking on me like I've been checking on you, you'd probably notice that Camp Half-Blood is different -- at least to me. There's this new camper, Adrian James, and he reminds me of you a lot.

The Narcissus flowers are strictly for you, of course. No one could ever be as aware of your own attributes as you.

And, you've probably guessed the reason for mentioning this new camper.

I've found someone new to love.

Maybe the relationship won't go far, but maybe it will. I want you to know that you were always, and will always, be my first true love. I still think about you every morning, whether it's from brushing my teeth (honestly, you had awful morning breath) or at night when we had dinner (blue coke, a hot dog, a side of blue cookies? Really, anyone can tell who I'm thinking about at this point).

But, as you said before, sometimes it's best to move on. And I guess that's what I'm doing right now, just without the entirety of moving on. I love you with as much power as I could never have -- but strive to obtain anyways -- and, truly, I don't think I could ever live a day without thinking of you.

Adrian -- he's not a replacement. He's not a toy that you give a baby because the previous one breaks.

He's my friend, and I love him.

I wish you could meet him.

Nico barged through the cabin door. "Get out!" he yelled forcefully, making room for Will Solace to enter.

It wasn't often that they would make out together, especially if someone as important as Nico's half-sister knew. But I quickly left the scene, hoping that I wouldn't intrude on anything I really didn't want to see later on.

The sun, of course, had started appearing through a group of clouds. Spring was definitely growing closer, but I could only hope that it didn't come too fast. Allergies suck.

I decided to go to the training arena. I'd have to train extra hard today if I wanted to get that image of Will and Nico out of my head (honestly, couldn't they have just gone somewhere else to lick each other's faces off?). But on my way there, none other than Adrian James himself bumped into me.
