'Oh damn, oh damn, oh damn
I'm so perplexed
With just one breath, I'm locked in
Oh damn, oh damn, oh damn
I'm so perplexed, oh, that it's almost shocking
I know, I know you know you're scared
Your heart, your mind, your soul, your body
They won't, they won't, they won't be careful
But I guess that you don't know me'

I sit next to Nico in a small room. We got locked in here by stupid Piper as we were fighting and she made sure there is no shadows so he can't leave. I see him beginning to sulk and I smirk. He's scared that I'm going to hurt him, everyone is...but I'm puzzled that instead of leaving me alone he provokes me and makes fights with me.

'Cause if I want you, then I want you, babe
Ain't going backwards, won't ask for space
Cause space was just a word made up by someone who's afraid to get too...'

I move closer to Nico and I see him look at me and then stare at the ground...I know he's gay and that to me is a dream come true...yes he annoys me but I kinda love him. Yes it's stupid but I can't help it...he understands what it's like to be alone and feared. Heck I'm slightly scared of his glares still. He's afraid of friends or getting to know people incase they die. That one night on the Argo really brought us close yet far away.

'Close, ooh
Oh, so close, ooh
I want you close, ooh
Cause space was just a word made up by someone who's afraid to get close, ooh
Oh, so close, ooh
I want you close, ooh
Oh, I want you close, that close ain't close enough, no'

I tap Nico's shoulder and he growls and tries to move away but I keep moving closer to him. "Leo go away" he says and glares at me. My heart halts and my smirk grows faint. I shake it off and begin to move closer again and reapply my smirk.

'Oh man, oh man
I am not really known for ever being speechless
But now, but now somehow
My words roll off my tongue right onto your lips, oh
I'm keeping cool while you keep smiling
Saying all the things I'm thinking
Oh man, oh man
I am like you so I want proof I'm what you're feeling'

My lips feel dry as I see Leo's smirk. I can't get close...I'll just hurt him. He keeps getting closer and I feel my back hit the wall. I gulp and he sits in front of me. "Leo get..." I begin to say and he laughs. "Leo get away...Leo go...Leo please fuck off? Because I ain't gonna do it" he says. I'm trying to keep cool but his smile has me in a trance. He will never feel the same will he? I should just keep quiet.

'Cause if I want you, then I want you, babe
Ain't going backwards, won't ask for space
Cause space is just a word made up by someone who's afraid to get too...
Close, ooh
Oh, so close, ooh
I want you close, ooh
Cause space was just a word made up by someone who's afraid to get close, ooh
Oh, so close, ooh
I want you close, ooh
Oh, I want you close, that close ain't close enough, no'

I sigh and roll my eyes at Leo. "What do you want?" I ask and Leo moves backwards a bit. He holds out his arms. He can't be serious! He wants a goddamn hug? Ugh...I'm going to mess up and then he'll run away and I've lost another friend/crush and then I'll have to spend time in the underworld and dad will yell at me. The effort I go through! I move closer to him and hug him. His arms wrap around me. This actually isn't so bad.

'Cause if I want you, then I want you, babe
Ain't going backwards, won't ask for space
Cause space was just a word made up by someone who's afraid to get too... close
Close, ooh
Oh, so close, ooh
I want you close, ooh
Cause space was just a word made up by someone who's afraid to get close, ooh
Oh, so close, ooh
I want you close, ooh
Oh, I want you close, that close ain't close enough, no
Oh, I want you close, that close ain't close enough, no'

"So, you still scared Nico?" I ask and Nico sighs. "I'm eventually going to kill those that I love so of course I'm scared" he says and I sigh. "Same here, but which one is going to die first? Am I going to kill you or are you going to kill me?" I ask. "Wh-what?!" Nico shouts and I smile. "Well I love you and hopefully you feel the same...so who is killing who?" I ask. "No one is killing anyone...if we stay together then maybe it won't kill us?" Nico asks. I smile.
"Better make it official" I say and Nico is blushing. "Wha-" he says.

'Cause if I want you, then I want you, babe
Ain't going backwards, won't ask for space
Cause space was just a word made up by someone who's afraid to get too... close
Close, ooh
Oh, so close, ooh
I want you close, ooh
Cause space was just a word made up by someone who's afraid to get close, ooh
Oh, so close, ooh
I want you close, ooh
Oh, I want you close, that close ain't close enough, no
Oh, I want you close, that close ain't close enough, no'

Leo leans down and kisses me. My eyes widen and I begin to kiss back slowly. Leo smiles into the kiss and I do the same.
