It's Saturday, thank goodness. I even have a date with Percy tonight.

Though, I'm more agitated than usual. I have to tell him something tonight, something I've been hiding for months and months. I take a deep breath, looking at myself in the mirror, ready for Percy to pick me up.

This is it.

I'm dressed in a white dress-shirt with no coat, and a black tie with tiny gray stripes. I'm wearing dress pants that aren't too baggy, and black old-fashioned dress shoes. My hair is scraggly, but combed; the way Percy likes it. Overall, I don't look that messy... right?

I sighed, knowing Percy would love me no matter what. That thought comforted me as I walked outside to his car.

~ time skip ~

I held his hand across the table. Anxiety ate away at my appetite, but I tried to hide it. Soon enough though, Percy noticed.

"Aren't you hungry? If not we can go to the movies or something."

I shook my head, sighing in defeat, "Percy, can we take a walk?" I don't need to tell him it's a serious one from the tone of my voice; Percy and I take a lot of walks, for different things, so the tension should be more... comfortable.

Percy tilts his head, but agrees nonetheless. We quickly pay for our meal and dump what we didn't woof down. Hand-in-hand (which I had mixed feelings about), we walked down a public sidewalk, silence the only indication of the tension inbetween us.

When we reached a light, I turned to him, and he pulled me close like he knows I love. I laid my head on his shoulder, being shorter, and closed my eyes momentarily.

"I wanted to tell you," I started, "for a while now. About something no one really knows about. That makes me comprehend things differently."

Percy's eyebrows were furrowed when I looked up at him, but he kissed my nose, "Tell me."

"I have..." I sighed in defeat; now or never. "I have synesthesia."

I didn't expect him to understand what it was. "Sinno-Asia?"

I shook my head, "No, synesthesia. The blending of the senses."

"What...?"

"When I hear noises, I see colors that no one else sees."

"So you're crazy?"

The light turned, but we didn't walk. I felt a ping at my heart.

"No, I'm not crazy, Percy. It's-"

"You see things that aren't there."

"Yes, but-"

"Nico, do you know how dangerous that could be? You should be getting help!"

"Percy-"

"Nico, I'm sorry, I have to go."

And he left me there.

Is it right, or is it wrong?

It was wrong. I was crazy for thinking otherwise...
