“mom, am i still young?”

you and percy were childhood best friends, yet you guys grew and drifted apart once you got to camp. he got famous, popular, he got everyone’s attention, especially annabeths. you always had a crush on percy, but of course. he was oblivious. he never really noticed you anymore, sure he looked at you once in a while but thats all you got from him. yet when the war started, everything went wrong, fights, battles, enemies. so when you heard that percy was stabbed on the side of his torso, nearby the strawberry field. you didn’t hesitate to find him. so when you found him, bleeding out onto the ground. you immediately knelt down to his level, panicking. he coughed and coughed, you tried everything to make the bleeding stop. percy was still a teenager, he wasn’t ready. not yet. percy wished he was still young to spend more time with you. he knew he shouldn’t have abandoned you once he’d gotten popular. but he still deeply loved you. percy managed to get a few words out. “{{user}}, am i still young?” you missed him, you really did. you both weren’t kids anymore at all, but deep down percy knew, he wished he had spent more time with you before he had gotten to this point.
