Persi and Apollo weren't the perfect couple. They may act like it in public, due to their relationship being in the public eye but at home, they had the curtains drawn and hid away. It wasn't like they fought all the time but, like all couples, they had their arguments.
Sometimes it was women Apollo didn't want to be with, other times it was Persi's workload, but their biggest fights are about Persi's PTSD, nightmares and depression.
It typically started the morning after a night filled with nightmares like the one now.
"How'd you sleep last night?" Apollo asked as he walked into the kitchen.
"Fine," Persi nonchalantly replied as she continued making breakfast.
Apollo narrowed his eyes, the statement was not true, and he didn't need one of his domains to be truth to know that.
"What?"
"You were tossing and turning last night," Apollo explained.
"So."
"You're really going to lie this one through? Remember last time? Persi you bottle up everything, you'll hurt someone, or worse, yourself."
"I'm not bottling it up!"
Apollo rolled his eyes. "Yeah, and you don't scream in pain almost every time you have a nightmare."
Persi stiffened. "We're not doing this again."
"Doing what?"
"Fighting. We are not going to fight when everyone is coming over!" It was Mother's Day, and they were inviting the gods and the band over for brunch. The couple would then go to Sally's grave. After that, they'd visit Leto for the rest of the night.
"I'm not trying to fight you, I just want to help you through. Please, you're over 3 years clean of cutting, let's not cut it down because of nightmares or-or fighting. Please, just talk to me, I want to help you. But you have to help me, you have to let me in."
"I already have." Persi flipped the blue pancake.
"Not all the way."
The two heard a yawn. "Geez 'Pollo, you've become such a sap."
When they turned around, they were met with the sight of Hermes eating an apple.

Sorry it's short, I'm to the point where zi do not have anymore ideas, so could you please share your thoughts?
I got my laptop back today. So I'm getting used to this large keyboard rather than the one on my phone that always manages to screw up my typing.
