”what are you scared of?”

you and percy are sitting by a tree, overlooking the strawberry fields in the distance

“what are you scared of?” you say as you look at him

he stares off at the strawberry fields “ahh..let’s see.” he lets out a sigh “scorpions are pretty creepy..uh..being by myself..” he pauses for a moment “i’m scared of ending up alone..” he says as he looks at me sadly

you look back and nod

“that makes two of us..” you say quietly
