how beautiful you are

"where are you taking me, Will?" i laughed as he drug me through the woods behind his house.

"a secret place," he said. "it's got history."

finally we submerged into an open field where an empty, abandoned mansion stretched out. it was torn down, dark, and left an ominous feeling in the air.

"what is it?"

"it's a house. my grandma used to tell me the story, before she died," he looked up. "there was these warlocks in the 1700s, right? an old warlock his wife and their servant. he got this vision of his children saving the world in 1989. his wife became pregnant and in order to preserve them, he kept in her a capsule locked up while she was in labor, and she was frozen. when he finally unfroze her, she gave birth to twins, boy and girl, the most powerful beings to ever walk the earth.
they were put through heavy training their entire life as superheroes and when they were about 18, the twins went to explore. they both fell in love with mortals, who would soon be the fatal part of the war they were soon to fight in.
one of the twins died for their lover to save the world. and the other twin ran off with their lover and still walk the streets. memory of them being superheroes was wiped away from all humans, in order to live in protection, so we wouldn't be able to remember it now," he said and his eyes twinkled.

i watched him closely. i would die for him, i had decided. i would.

but something loomed over me.

"do you think it's true?" i asked.

he turned towards me. "i'd like to believe so," he said. "and you?"

"i think it's romantic," i said after awhile. "dying over someone you love more than anything. but it's stupid and selfish."

"but their life was simple, as hard as it is to believe that with them being powerful and just not human. but they didn't have a family that loved them like we have our families. they didn't have friends," he continued in a hushed voice. "they didn't have anyone else who could love them like that."

"i understand," i said, quietly. "i love you in a way nobody else could ever love you."

he turned and looked at me. "i don't know how i should feel about that." his eyes met mine in sheer, weary pain.

"you know," i whispered. "don't you?"

"i want you to say it," Will said. "say it and i'll know what to do, i think. say it."

"percy kissed me," i said, feeling my face heat as i avoided eye contact with him.

"did you kiss him back?"

"i did b-but it didn't mean anything it was just—"

"i believe you, nico," he said, tears streaming down his face but his voice remained calm. he placed his hand on my cheek. my eyes met mine and it felt like glass exploding, shards sticking into my skin. his eyes fell towards his hand as he retreated it. he bit his lip as his fingers wrapped around his ring.

"stop it," i said, placing my hand over his. "don't. please don't."

"nico, look at us," he said. "i'm too scared to see what would happen. i don't want to end up hating you or saying something we'll both regret. if we end it now...we can still be friends."

"but i love you," i cried, taking his head in my hands. "Will, we can get through this."

"what if we don't?" he asked, breathlessly. "what if it gets worst?"

"listen, listen, every couple has issues. we're normal, we're not perfect," i shrugged. "Will, what's the problem?"

"you're distant, nico," he said, looking right through me. "we don't talk like we used to. we fuck but there's no...we do it to distract ourselves and nico, i was your first time. i was your first boyfriend. you're finally out to everyone now. we're not going to be together just like that," i said. "you may love me but you don't have anyone to compare me too. you deserve to be free, run around with whoever you want because you finally can."
