A Letter a Day (Sequel to Broken but Mended)

One Last Time

Four days until Christmas and I couldn't be more miserable. I couldn't stop thinking about him. I haven't seen a picture of him since four months ago when he died, but I could still picture him almost perfectly in my mind. Though I forget his smile, I still remember everything else. Offten when I miss him so much, to the point where I can't leave my cabin without having to have some sort of break down, I work on my drawing of him. I'm working on it now. I just finished the final details of his hands, I worked for a long time on them because I felt like they were the most important part of the picture. My drawing is of the one memory of him that doesn't pain me to think of.

~Flash back~

I sat on Leo's desk in the bunker, Leo was playing with some wires and metals.

"You have beautiful hands." Wow, that was the most random thing I have ever said in my life. Leo looked up at me and smiled, his hands still playing with the wires, I took a mental picture of him like that. He just looked so damn cute.

"You have beautiful...lips." He replied with a smirk. He stood up and kissed me.

"Leo." I whined after he pulled away.

"Nico." He replied. I grabbed his shirt collar and pulled him into a quick kiss, but pulled away within a few seconds. "Jerk." Leo muttered. I laughed. I slid off his desk and started walking towards the door. "Babe don't leave me! Ugh fine, but your ass looks so damn hot in those jeans!" Leo yelled. I couldn't help it so I turned around and winked at him before leaving.

~End of flash back~

See why it doesn't hurt me to think about it? Yeah.

I look at the drawing and close my eyes, trying to remember the adorable smile he gave me. Nothing. I sighed loudly and continued working on other parts of the almost complete drawing.

"Whatcha workin on there ghost boy?" I jumped slightly, startled that there was someone in my cabin. I looked up and saw Percy standing behind me, looking over my shoulder at my drawing.

"Don't look at it." I muttered.

"Too late." Percy said as he took the sketch book out of my hands. "Wow Nico, this is really good. Did you take a picture of him?" I shook my head.

"I remember every detail of that. It's the only memory that I can actually replay in my mind and not break down while thinking of it." I muttered.

"This is really, really good. But where is his mouth?" He asked. I sighed.

"I can't picture his smile perfectly." Percy nodded. He handed me back my sketch book.

"Are you going to leave your cabin at all today?" He asked. I shook my head. He sighed. "Alright, well if you need anything you know where to find me." Percy said before he left.

All I need is to see him smile one last time. Hear him laugh one last time. Kiss his warm lips one last time.

Just one last time.
