Luke shrugged, "I don't know. I don't want to just leave Percy, but.."
"But you don't want to go back down there,"
"How do you know so much about the way I work? About my wants and needs? You always seemed so happy,"
"Didn't percy always seem so happy as well?"
That took Luke by surprise, "Leo, your not gonna..."
"No. I just can't stay here anymore, I'm tired of faking. When I laugh I want to laugh. When I smile I want to be happy. When I'm broken, I want to say I need help. I want to be okay again,"
"What do you mean?"
"I-uh-I want to go with you. When you leave, I want to go too,"
"Leo, you'll die,"
"Yeah but i night actually be me if I do,"
Luke hesitated for a moment, before smiling. "I guess it'll just be me and you,"
"I guess so. Ready to leave now?"
"I'm ready to get the hell out of hades profile,"
"Then let's go,"
