Percy.. died. He died, he's dead. The funeral was shattering for everyone- especially Vex. Everyone was so upset, and so tired. But.. Vax got something out of Vex.

"I didn't get to say I loved him, I was too late." Those words stuck to him, and he was now realizing. He had let his visions get in the way of loving you. You both had kissed at least a week before all of this, and he abruptly just.. told you now. He said he couldn't be with you. He left it at that, and you were pissed, and barely talked to him without sourness.. until.. tonight.

He wound up at your door, asking to talk. "Is Vex okay?" You asked softly, then shook your head. "Are you.. okay?" You corrected. He then immediately apologized to you.

"I'm sorry for running away.. from us. The future has frightened me for so long- but it's a future that hasn't been written." He mumbled, looking up at you with that kicked puppy look. "And I'm starting to think fate is what you make it." He said quietly.

"Its okay to be scared.. but we can face it, together." You murmured, and he smiled. "I don't want to be alone tonight.. do you?" He looked down into your eyes lovingly.
