Will You Save Me // Jercy AU

28~ The Angel & The Devil

Jason's POV

'Percy?' I ask, seeing him curled up next to a tree.

'Oh my god, are you OK?'

I stare at him as he slowly sits up, his eyes are red, tears pouring out of them. His nose is running faster than Niagara Falls.

I produce a handkerchief from my pocket and hand it to him. He barely notices me, his face blank.

I bite my lip but proceed to wipe his nose and eyes for him. I feel my arms graze his chest as I lean close to him. The blood rushes to my face and I'm suddenly aware of how close together we are.

'What's happened?' I ask, concern flushing through my body

'N-Nico and i br-broke u-up' he spluttered

I feel a stab of betrayal in my heart, remembering all the pain he caused me, and it was all Nico's fault

You should leave, he doesn't deserve your help.

But I can't, despite how much I want to I can't.

I'm still in love with him.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

'Come on Perce' I whispered as I gently pulled him through the crowded corridor

He stared numbly ahead, not paying attention to where we were going.

I breathed a sigh of relief as we finally arrived in our- his dorm room.

I gently lowered Percy onto his bed, he slumped down in a heap- silent after all this time.

I sighed and knelt down in front of him.

'Hey Perce?' I whispered

He blinked and finally looked at me 'Yeah?'

His voice was a monotone slate.

'How you feelin' ?'

He looked at me. A sudden fear chilled me to the bone.

What if he relapses?

'I'm....' he hesitated for a second before replying 'I'm a'ight Jase'

I allowed myself a small smile at his use of my nickname before focusing back on the matter at hand.

'So I think you'd better go to sleep, it's already about 9 and you look shattered'

Percy nodded, not really paying attention.

He slid down the covers and slipped under.

'You OK for now?' I asked, standing up

He didn't respond

I sighed and walked towards the door, secretly hoping he would call me back.

'Please stay!'

I looked back in surprise.

Really?

I gave a light sigh, trying to think of reasons to refuse. Unfortunately, I only came to the conclusion that my lust is stronger than my common sense.

And so I climbed into bed with my ex- Percy Jackson.

Percy's POV

I lay silently, craving the warmth of Jason's body but knowing I can never have that again.

I rolled over to look at him, his cupid bow lips were set in a slight frown, his face dark in the shadow of the room. I studied his mouth more, the white scar was glowing in the faint starlight that managed to sneak through the thin curtains.
