Pernico
My mom always said: "Percy, someday you're gonna meet a pretty girl"
But, I didn't exactly meet a pretty girl.
Me and my friend Nico would have sleepovers together.
We'd talk about how it was crazy how we were actually related.
Cousins even.
About my sh*tty stepfather and his sh*tty father Hades.
We would lie awake and stare at the ceiling and just cuddle each other close.
Sometimes, we were all we had.
I never thought I'd fall for someone, much less someone I'd known so long.
Which is why it kinda shocked my mom Sally a little when I told her I was gay.
I mean, I was shocked too.
I hadn't met a "pretty girl", I'd met a "beautiful boy"...
