Lips Of An Angel

"Lips Of An Angel" By Hinder

Percy's P.O.V

(Mortal AU)

I woke up to my phone ringing and rolled over. I checked the contact and sighed.

Nico <3

I picked up my phone and looked over at my wife, Annabeth, making sure she was asleep. I got out of bed and left the bedroom as I answered the phone and pressed it to my ear. "Hello? Why are you calling so late?"

"H-hey, Percy.." His voice was shaky and quiet as if he'd been crying.

"Nico? Is everything okay?" I whispered, frowning worriedly. "I've gotta whisper 'cause Annabeth's sleeping... What is it?"

I heard Nico take a shaky breath. "I haven't moved on from you... I miss you, Percy.."

I sighed. I glanced back into my room. Annabeth was still sound asleep.

I sat in the chair in the livingroom and leaned forward.

"Percy?" he said, his voice barely above a whisper. "Say something..."

"It's really good to hear your voice.. Sometimes I wish she was you..."

His laugh was quiet and broken. "Of course.. Hey, Percy?"

"Yeah?"

"I love you."

I smiled softly. "You sound so sweet... You're making it really hard to be faithful right now, Nico."

"I don't know if I should be glad about that or not.."

I chuckled quietly. "Me neither."

"Does she know you still talk to me? Would it start a fight?"

"No, I don't think she has a clue."

"Okay.. Are you happy I called?" he asked.

"It's really good to hear your voice, Nico."

Nico scoffed. "Oh, it is?"

I nodded, even though he couldn't see. "Yeah. It is. It..." I sighed. "I guess I never really moved on..."

I thought about his black hair that always fell in front of his beautiful black eyes. The way his hips swayed when he walked. When his lips moved to a song... His lips.. His perfect, kissable lips... He had the lips of an angel.

I heard him sigh too and thought about his lips parting as he exhaled.

"Percy.."

I bit my lip. "Damn..."

"What?"

"You make it really hard to be faithful... You've got the lips of an angel, you know?"
