Denial

Percy was in denial. It couldn’t be that Oliver loved someone, it just couldn’t be. More specific, that Oliver loved someone else. Percy had always hoped that Oliver would fall in love with him. That hope was gone now, at least, it would be if Percy wasn’t in denial.
      Oliver helped him out of his denial fast when he stumbled into their dorm and smiled when he saw Percy. “Percy, I was wondering would you maybe perhaps like to do something with me?” Oliver felt awkward standing there, but for Percy it was perfect. “Of course I would like that.”
