Pairings: Hermes/Percy vs. Apollo/Percy
Summary: After Percy finds that Hermes have been sneaking up to him, weird and strange events began to unfold. The result? Percy is being stalked by the god Apollo, carefully watched over by Hermes, while struggling with his sexuality.
A/N - Yes, yes, I've turned into a Hercy fan. Mind you, I still love Apercy. This is just a long oneshot. Sort of a love triangle with Hermes/Percy/Apollo. Yum. Sandwich-y with a Percy on the top.
Oh yeah, Percy's 16 here, Apollo's form is 20 and Hermes' form is 22.
Disclaimer - If I was Rick Riordan, I should have made the books like this. So I'm not him xP
I didn't know when it started, but all I knew was someone.. or something was invading my privacy. I actually didn't realize it until I woke up one night, with someone next to me, holding me close. The person was obviously a man, taller and older than me. He was sweating. The man's breathing was deep and heavy. As if he'd just ran around the world.
It was Hermes. Hermes was my.. erm.. stalker. It made sense somehow. During these past few weeks after Percy vanquished the titan Kronos, saved Olympus, he's suddenly felt as if someone was stalking him. And he know he was right when his intruder accidentally left their shirt on the floor.
Percy didn't know if he should be scared, mortified or embarrassed at the revelation. Though, he knew that he shouldn't piss the god off. Ancient History class taught him just how gods treated mortals who rejected them. But still, what should he do? Should he let this.. man do whatever he wants with Percy JUST because he's a god? Percy IS still a living being, with his own rights and all.
And if something bad comes to mind, he can always say Hermes was the one who DID invade his privacy. Maybe Percy's dad will save him after all from the aftermath. He now wonders if there's a court for gods. Zeus would probably be the judge. So, doing what could possibly be the last thing he does, Percy pushes Hermes off the bed.
The god landed with a thud! Hermes was suddenly up and running, his eyes dazed for a bit before coming to reality.
"Percy! You're awake! Why did you push me?" Hermes growled, suddenly forgetting he was the intruder. Percy stared at the god, aghast at how HE blames HIM.
"Before I answer that, Lord Hermes, why were you snuggling next to me? I never let you come close to me like that, much less allowed you inside our house." Percy shot back. This time, Hermes stumbled for the right answer.
"I, er.. had a package to deliver to you." Hermes muttered softly.
"And what would that be? Snuggling with me?" Percy hissed, glaring daggers at the god. Hermes blushed and faltered.
"Er.. no. Um.." Hermes stuttered for the right answer.
"Well, what's my package then?" Percy asked, anxious to see the god leave. Hermes stopped mumbling and stared at him. "My 'package'? You said you were here to deliver me something. Or were you lying?" Percy glared at him, more intense this time around.
"I-I do have a package for you!" Hermes blurted. Percy didn't look convinced at all.
"So where is it then?" Percy sneered. Hermes then rummaged through his bag, dropping some weird and random items on the floor as he did. Hermes blushed.
"I- er.. don't have it.." Hermes muttered. Percy scoffed.
"Or maybe you didn't had anything at all. Face it, Hermes, you crept into my house in the middle of the night, invading my privacy, snuggled up next to me and Zeus knows what else could you have done!" Percy shouted, pointing an accusing finger at the god.
"I didn't mean to! Honest!" Hermes said, kneeling for forgiveness. Wait! What was he doing? Kneeling for forgiveness from a mere demigod! He was a god for crying out loud! He didn't need forgiveness. The person - Percy should be the one asking for forgiveness for rudely interrupting him and his.. not too safe dreams about the boy.
"So, you're saying, you just somehow managed to tumble into my bed, just happened to find my body and snuggled up to it?" Percy glared at the god. As he was about to ramble on and on, he didn't expect the said god to suddenly rush up to him and kiss him on the lips.
The actual impact made Percy hit the wall, not too hard, but he knew he'd have a bruise there later. Percy's eyes widened in surprise, confusion and fear. Hermes kept on kissing the stoic Percy, closing his eyes to feel the kid's warmth. After Percy broke free from the surprise, he opened his mouth to gasp, pushing Hermes away.
Hermes stared at the boy. His face was now flustered, deeply blushing red from the kiss, and who knows what else. Hermes pulled back, knowing if he went on, he might injure the boy from.. certain things.
"I.. er.." Percy was speechless. Should he be angry at the god? Any sane person would be. But, something about the kiss.. sparked his interest. It wasn't like, the kiss, anything he felt from kissing Annabeth. Sure there were sparks between him and her, but not as big as the one Hermes just gave him.
With Hermes, Percy felt at least ten thousand volts rush up to him at once. As if he was just electrocuted by Zeus.
"You don't have to say anything. I-I'm the one who's wrong. I didn't mean to intrude you or force myself to you. I wasn't thinking rationally." Hermes said, standing up and walking towards the window. So that's how Hermes got there, Percy mentally told himself.
"And by the way, you should really close your window when you go to bed. It's not safe." With that, Hermes was gone, leaving Percy baffled and flabbergasted.
Percy had a hard time going back to sleep that night. Tons of things were going through his mind. 'Why was Hermes here in the first place? Why did he kiss me? Why did it feel so good when I kissed him? Why..' and the list continued on. But he only knew one thing. 'Hermes likes me.' Percy thought as he finally reached the world of Iris and Morpheus. As he slept, he had a smile of contentment in his face.
"Well hello dear brother, where have you been?" Apollo asked Hermes as he approached his house. Hermes gasped, or possibly even yelped, when Apollo came out of hiding. "Well? Where have you been?" Apollo asked, irritated.
"I was just out delivering packages. Why?" Hermes glared at Apollo. Out of all his siblings, Apollo was the one he loathed the most. For not only being as handsome and charming he was, he also had fathered kids as much as he did.
Not to mention his old rivalry with Hyacinth. Most scholars blamed Zephyrus for the Spartan Prince's untimely death, though the two of them knew it was Hermes all along.
"Without your phone?" Apollo said, raising Hermes' phone. George and Martha curled up on the stylus pen.
"Sorry boss, I should have been awake." Martha said.
"Yeah, so it's her fault, not mine." George said.
"Hey!" Martha hissed, twirling around to catch George.
"Shut up you two!" Apollo hissed and the two stopped. "Now, may I ask once more, where were you?" Apollo asked, walking closer to Hermes this time.
"I said I was out delivering packages. Now, give me back my phone!" Hermes said, snatching the phone from Apollo's grasp. Apollo glared at him and Hermes returned the glare. Soon the two were having a glaring contest.
"I'll believe it. For now. But just watch out, Hermes. I'm watching you." With that, Apollo vanished.
"So, what's the matter, boss? You're back early and you look tired some more." Martha asked. "I thought with P-" Hermes quickly shushed her.
"Apollo, I know you're there. You won't know who I'm visiting, ever, so just go home!" Hermes shouted. Apollo appeared once more.
"Fine! But I WILL KNOW!" With an angry column of flames, Apollo was gone.
"You almost gave away his secret, dumb-o!" George hissed. Martha bowed her head in shame.
"I'm sorry boss, I almost gave away, Pe-, his identity." Martha said. Hermes just sighed.
"It's okay. Just make sure you don't tell anyone about him. And the reason why I'm still tired is because.." Hermes told the two about the story.
Percy woke up late that morning. Somehow feeling tired, like he always did after training at camp. Though, this wasn't camp. And the even last night was real.
"Percy, honey, come down, you're gonna be late!" Sally Jackson shouted from downstairs. Percy rushed to his wardrobe, picking out a blue shirt, surprise surprise, and a pair of jeans. As Percy was about to leave his room, he tripped over something at the floor.
Looking at it, It was a red arrow, shaped like a heart. There was something inscribed at the heart. Percy easily understood it as it was in Ancient Greek. It said his name. "Percy Jackson." The bow inscribed.
Percy hissed. This was obviously Eros' love arrow, carried by Hermes. Somehow he wasn't surprised. Hermes was probably going to use it last night when he accidentally dropped it.
"Oh well, too bad." Percy said as he snapped it into two, throwing it away on the rubbish bin. Percy was out of the room when the arrow glowed red, and emitted a curling red smoke. The smoke then filled Percy's entire room.
"Here Percy. I've packed your lunch and some extra blue cookies. Good bye honey!" Sally said as Percy left the house.
"Bye mom!" Percy shouted, and he was gone.
Hermes was watching Percy, hidden by the clouds, and an invisible cap for extra measures. Hermes was afraid to say it. He had grown an infatuation to the boy. It was suddenly like this now.
Hermes would creep in the boy's room at night, snuggling up to his warmth, disappearing at dawn to deliver some packages, be back to watch him go to school, leave once more to his job, come back at lunch time and gawk at him. He would then leave, and come back, following Percy home.
"Boss, maybe you should go talk to him." Martha whispered as his cloud followed Percy.
"Yeah, and risk Apollo seeing them? Heck no. Don't listen to her." George whispered. Hermes sighed.
"For once, Martha, George is right. I can't risk Apollo seeing me talk with Percy. He has enough brain cells to put two and two together. It will be like Hyacinth all over again. I'd rather leave this one alive."
Unbeknownst to them, Apollo had tracked where Hermes was last night, with a little help from his friend the Oracle and is now at Percy's room. The god smiled evilly now knowing where Hermes was.
"Oh this is delicious. Hermes is falling for Poseidon's son. I wonder how angry Poseidon will get if I tell him that." Apollo muttered softly, snickering a bit. Then, he noticed the broken arrow and the love that was emitting. "Oh no! I better get out of here before I-" Apollo stopped. He smiled dreamily in the spot where he just was. "Perrrcy." Apollo purred as he vanished.
"Perseus Jackson. Would you please stop daydreaming and actually pay attention to me!" Percy's geometry teacher shouted. Percy broke out the trance.
"Oh, um, sorry sir. I promise that it won't happen again." Percy apologized. The teacher went back to the board, grumbling curses about 'lousy kids with no brain at all to survive'. Percy was scribbling some notes when he heard someone whisper to him.
"Psst! Percy!" Percy looked over where the voice was, surprised to see Apollo standing next to him. Not really next to him as there was a wall and window in between the two. Percy's eyes widened. Apollo was here? NOW? Floating in midair, three levels high, WITH EVERYONE able to see him?
"Mr. Ja-" The teacher was about to say something when he noticed Apollo on the window. "Mr. Jackson, please refrain from talking to the window cleaner. And Pay attention to me." The teacher said, drawing more things in the board.
"Apollo! What are you doing here?" Percy whispered. Apollo smiled at him.
"Why I'm here to take you out, of course. Pack your bags kid, we're going to Europe!" Apollo said with a wink. Percy's eyes widened.
"What?" Percy hissed, causing some of the students next to him look at him. "I can't go to Europe with you! And how would that be even possible? I have school!" Percy hissed again. The teacher slammed his hands on the table.
"Mr. Jackson! Pay a-" The teacher was saying when the Principal opened the door and went inside. "Oh, hi Mr. Roberts. What a surprise, what are you doing here?" The teacher asked.
"I, um, need to talk with Perseus Jackson over there." The principal said in almost a robotic monotone.
"Of course, of course. Perseus, go with Mr. Roberts." The teacher said, smirking.
"Pack your bags boy, you're going to Europe." Mr. Roberts said, causing all of his classmates to look at him, even the teacher gaped at him.
"He's what?" The teacher asked, dumbfounded.
"He's going to Europe. The Queen herself asked for him. I don't know what or why, but he's needed in Europe. Immediately." Percy rushed up, with his bag and all. He peeked at the window, to see no traces of Apollo anywhere.
"Oh.. Jackson, what did you do now?" The teacher asked, clearly amused at the idea of Percy being an international thief.
"I didn't re-" Percy was about to say when the principal grabbed him and went off.
Once at the main office, the Principal wrote some stuff, called Percy's mom and in a few minutes, she was there, along with Paul, with Percy's suitcase filled with his clothes.
"Oh Percy," Sally said, hugging her son close. "What did you do now?" She mumbled.
"I clearly don't know." Percy said, still in shock.
"Okay, just sign here and he can be on his merry way." The Principal said, handing the two a couple of blue sheets to sign on. After finishing all the documents, the Principal waved Percy goodbye.
"There you are, Percy. Now, come on, we're wasting day-light! Haha! Get it?" Apollo cackled at his own joke.
"Haha, funny. Now, tell me again, why am I going to Europe?" Percy asked as Sally helped Paul put Percy's suitcases on the trunk.
"Yes, Lord Apollo, why did you suddenly make this offer?" Paul asked. Apollo just grinned as he heard Sally slam the trunk shut.
"Oh Percy, take care," She said, placing a kiss on his forehead.
"Well, Mr. Blofis Jackson sir, I'm," Apollo said, grabbing Percy's arm, "wooing your son. Yeehaw!" Apollo said, pulling Percy in and driving off like a maniac leaving Paul and Sally there, dumbfounded.
"That no good, lying, sun god!" Hermes swore as he watched the two fly away to Europe.
"Calm down Hermes." Athena said as he ranted. They were now at Athena's house, or castle.
"How can I calm down Athena when Percy's stuck with a guy like Apollo! You know how impulse he is and how important Percy is to me!" Hermes said, his eyes bulging with fear.
"You can calm down, Hermes. Even though Apollo is.. impulsive, he would never hurt dear Percy like that. He has enough brain cells, thanks to your vitamins, I suppose, to know he couldn't hurt him, not unless he wants Poseidon waging war against him. Along with me, you and probably even Artemis." Athena said, calming her half-brother.
"I know, but still! ARGH! How did he even know where or who I was seeing? Did you tell him anything, Athena?" Hermes asked. Athena backed away. A crazy, anxiety driven Hermes was very scary. Even scarier than Zeus himself.
"I did no such thing! Why would I want to help Apollo in any way? Do you know how many times he's tried to seduce me? Seriously. I hate that man!" Athena said, raising her arms in protest.
"Then who did?" Hermes growled. Ares and Aphrodite peeked in the room.
"Hermes is having another anxiety attack? Who's causing it this time?" Ares said, smirking. He obviously loved seeing others panicking.
"Apollo is. Along with Percy." Athena said as she sat down.
"Woah, woah, woah! What's Percy got something to do with Hermes and Apollo?" Ares asked. Aphrodite's eyes sparkled. Juicy gossip, yum!
"Well. I've erm.. developed a.. crush on him." Hermes said, blushing. Ares' and Aphrodite's eyes widened.
"Seriously? Oh man this is rich!" Ares said as he howled with laughter. Aphrodite's eyes were twinkling.
"And what about Apollo? What does Apollo have to do anything with Percy and you?" Aphrodite asked.
"He's.. erm.. taken him and left for Europe." Hermes said, gritting his teeth. Ares howled even more while Aphrodite had a dreamy look on her face.
"Oh how romantic! Hermes and Apollo, sons of Zeus fighting for Percy, son of Poseidon! Oh this is soo romantic!" Aphrodite said. Athena and Hermes grumbled.
Since Aphrodite has discovered yaoi a year ago, when she went to a manga-con, she's never been the same. She'd been putting two males together, filling her fangirl-ish desires.
"Shush it, Aphrodite. I'm worried about Percy! He's with that maniac!" Hermes shouted. Aphrodite's eyes twinkled even more.
"Oh you're worried about him! OH HOW SWEET! Ares, you should take notes! Oh Hermes, your love story is just so wonderful!" Aphrodite said, wiping away a fake tear.
"ARGH! can't any of you take me seriously?" Hermes shouted. Ares had stopped laughing. But now was chuckling again.
"Pansy pants. Nobody can take you seriously. Okay? You're just.. not the serious type." Ares said.
"ARGGH! I'm leaving!" Hermes said as he started walking off. Athena and Aphrodite then followed him.
"Okay, this is what you should do. You should go and follow the two of them to Europe, sweep Percy off his feet and tell him how you feel." Athena said, smiling at Hermes kindly. Aphrodite snorted.
"Puh-lease. Athena, you're so old fashioned. Okay, here's what you do. Find the two in Europe, fight and beat the living hell out of Apollo, though not too much as he is handsome and my backup if Ares fails, take Percy as your prize, turn him immortal, marry him, and keep him for yourself for the rest of Eternity!" Aphrodite said, clasping her hands together.
"You are nuts if you think Hermes is ever going to do that, Aphrodite." Athena said.
"Well I know he will, because I know Apollo is doing it. See?" Aphrodite said. She produced a mirror out of thin air and in the screen showing was Apollo and Percy out on a date in Paris. "Oh my goodness! They're in Paris having a date! How romantic!" Aphrodite said, fainting at too much love.
"I'll take your advice." Hermes said with a wink. And then he was off. Athena looked around her. No one to see anything. Aphrodite was still passed out so Athena produced a black, PERMANENT ink pen and started scribbling on Aphrodite's face.
After finishing ruining Aphrodite's perfect face, Athena walked back home laughing evilly along the way.
Who knew Athena could be so evil?
"Seriously, Apollo. This is too much." Percy said as he wiped his face with a napkin. Their first destination was Paris. Apollo looked up from his spaghetti and stared at Percy.
"What's too much, my love?" Apollo asked, brisking away a tuft of hair from Percy's face.
"This. All of this. I have to get home. I can't be here on Paris with you! Besides, I have a girlfriend!" Percy said, but Apollo didn't budge. "Annabeth? remember? The daughter of Athena? Yeah, we're kinda going out, just for information!" Percy shouted. Still nothing.
"You don't need her. You have me. Besides, I bet she isn't much good at bed like I am." Apollo said, smirking. Percy's eyes widened.
"Okay, really, I have to go. See you." Percy said as he headed back to the car. Apollo sighed and walked towards him.
"Aw, come on Percy, I was just kidding. Unless you want to." Apollo said, hugging Percy close and sniffing his hair.
"I-I don't. Now, take me home." Percy said as he broke free from Apollo and sat down in the car.
"Fine, I can take a hint you don't like Paris." Apollo said as he started the ignition. Percy sighed.
"Thank you." He said, putting on his seat belt.
"To England it is!" Apollo declared.
"WHAT? NO!" Percy shouted, but it was too late. The car was already running, faster than the speed of light.
Hermes then popped up.
"Percy? Perseus? Hello? Where are you?" Hermes asked. Hermes looked around, only to see Apollo's car flying off the distance. Hermes growled with rage and flew after them.
"Sacré bleu!" someone shouted. All the other Parisians looked at person, glaring daggers at him.
"STOP THISS!" Percy shouted as Apollo hooted.
"Aw, you know you love this Percy! And I know you love me too!" Apollo hooted with laughter. Percy, however, looked as pale as a ghost.
"Apollo! LET ME GO! I'm gonna hurl!" Percy shouted, clutching on his stomach. This got Apollo's attention.
"Oh! Why didn't you say so! Here! I'll lower down the car. You can just vomit in the ocean." Apollo said. In a few seconds, the car was now in a safe distance for jumping. Percy looked up to Apollo and smirked.
"Sucker." With that, Percy jumped to the ocean. Apollo's eyes widened. He hadn't been expecting THAT! But, nonetheless, this provided a challenge for him. To find Percy and make him fall for him. Ooh, Apollo loved challenges.
Parking the car in midair, Apollo jumped, swimming as fast as he could to catch Percy. Apollo's eyes weren't as good underwater like Percy's but it was enough. Percy was already a couple of meters away from Apollo. Apollo licked his lips and swam for dear life.
Hermes was busy flying, trying to locate Apollo's car when it suddenly dropped down. Hermes thought Apollo saw him already and is trying to make a quick getaway. But then, the door on Percy's side opened and Percy dived to the sea. Hermes' eyes widened. The boy was escaping! Here's his chance!
Not too long after that, Apollo jumped down, following suit. But Hermes was smart. He stayed above ground, flying above the two, keeping track. And while he was at it, he threw spikes at the car's tires deflating them, making it sink to the ocean. Apollo stopped in his tracks. In front of him was a still Percy, looking at what Apollo was gonna do next. Take Percy or save his car?
Apollo did the weirdest thing nobody expected him to do. He went for his car. Hermes was surprised for about .00089 seconds, but his mind thawed out of it. Percy, however, still hasn't recovered. Hermes took this chance and dived down. Percy looked at him in disbelief. Hermes reached out his hand, took Percy's own hand and the two vanished.
The two left Apollo and his sunken car in the middle of the ocean. One less problem for Hermes.
"..." Percy said nothing as Hermes dropped him down his bed. Hermes had just been carrying him, bridal style over to Mount Olympus, and over to his domain. Percy and Hermes didn't say a word throughout their walk.
Percy landed with a huff. Hermes stared at the boy uneasily. Percy averted his gaze, still hurt and confused from last night's events. Hermes can't blame the boy. It was really his fault it's this way. But, seeing as how close Apollo was to Percy was angering him. He wanted Percy. He wanted Percy. Percy is his.
"Percy." Hermes muttered. Percy still didn't look at Hermes. Instead, he stood up, only to be pushed back down by Hermes. "I'm sorry for last night. I couldn't control myself." Hermes apologized. Percy still wasn't looking. "I know it was rash, completely unlike me, but you have to understand. I like, love you." Hermes confessed with no lies.
"..." Percy still said nothing and it was infuriating Hermes now. Why wouldn't he speak? Was he actually giving a god the Silent Treatment?
"Percy, come on, I-I'm really truly sorry. I'm begging you, please, talk to me and forgive me." Hermes said, kneeling down in front of Percy. Percy sat back up and sighed.
"Okay, I forgive you Lord Hermes." Percy muttered. Hermes' eyes glowed with happiness.
"Oh you do?" Hermes said as he hug-tackled Percy down the bed. "Thank you thank you thank you!" Hermes said as he buried himself at Percy's hair, neck and all the places in between.
"Okay, you can stop now." Percy said, chuckling as Hermes kissed his neck, giving him goosebumps.
"Okay, I was a bit carried away there, I admit." Hermes said, straightening his clothes. The two then locked eyes together.
"You really do look like Luke." Percy muttered softly. His green eyes met with Hermes' blue. Before Percy knew it, Hermes was leaning in closer. Closer.. closer.. and then, boom! Their lips met.
Hermes' eyes were closed, just like the first time. In between their kiss, Hermes said,
"If you want me to stop, just say so and I'll stop." And then he resumed the kiss. However, as they kissed, Percy's mind was up and running 150km/hr.
'I like Annabeth, I like Annabeth! I'm straight! I'm straight! I'm.. Oh screw it!' Percy thought as he pulled Hermes' head closer to him, closing his own eyes and deepening the kiss.
'Mm.. he still tastes like the ocean.. and taffy..' Hermes thought as Percy opened his mouth, allowing Hermes in. The two fought for dominance, and surprisingly, Percy won. The two, or at least Percy began to feel light headed so they had to stop. But Hermes was already thinking of many.. many.. other things he wants to do.
"You didn't pull back.. instead, you caved in." Hermes said as he snuggled alongside Percy.
"I tried to, but you're just.. you." Percy said as he snuggled close with him, his eyes finally showing tiredness and fell asleep.
"Sweet dreams, Percy." Hermes said as he too, fell asleep with Percy in his arms.
Artemis, Athena and Aphrodite were snickering and chuckling when they saw Apollo go home. He was drenching wet! He was cursing in all languages, muttering crazy things about 'Hermes stealing Percy's heart' or something like that.
Then, Apollo stopped in his tracks. Why was he jealous? He didn't like Percy that way.. why did he do those stuff? Apollo tried to remember what happened earlier that day.
He went to Eris for advice, he went to Zeus and then Aphrodite.. and then he went to Percy's room. And then..
"Oh. Stupid Love Arrow." Apollo muttered. Eros' love arrows were definitely a pain in the butt. But then, Apollo starts to wonder and thinks about things.
"I'm single.. nothing to do.. likes challenges.. yes." Apollo smirked. "Percy Jackson, here I come!" Apollo said, smirking happily. This time, Apollo wasn't under influence of Love Magic. This time, his feelings were real.
And he is soo going to get his prize. He won't lose this one like he did with Hyacinth.
"Mm.." Percy said as he woke up. Sure enough, there was Hermes, still snuggling up with him, and yes, they were still clothed.
"Well this is a position I'd like to wake up from everyday." Hermes said, waking up. Percy chuckles a bit before stretching out his arms.
"Ah.. my body's so stiff." Percy said, stretching his arms and legs, wiggling his toes. Percy was about to stand up when Hermes hugs him closer.
"Don't leave me just yet, Percy." Hermes said, hugging Percy closer. Percy just laughs at this.
"Don't you have a job to get to?" Percy said, trying to break free of Hermes' bear hug.
"Oh shoot! I forgot!" Hermes said, bolting up the bed and changing back to his chiton. Percy chuckles at this.
"You are so forgetful you know?" Percy said. Hermes chuckles along with Percy. "Okay, now go on and do your flying thing. Or else your customers will definitely get angry with you." With that, Percy stood up. But before anything else, Hermes leaned in and kissed Percy.
"For good luck." Hermes said with a wink. "I'll be back at lunch later." Poof! And he was gone. Percy then gets up, got changed and explored the house. It was only until when Percy reached a certain room that his mind worked clearer.
"Oh my goodness. What am I doing?" Percy said as he slumped down the floor. He was now in a room filled with pictures. Pictures of Hermes' kids in fact. There was about a hundred or three hundred of them. All from different eras. There was a picture of the Stoll twins, Chris and even Luke. Percy then cuddled to himself. There was no way he can do this.
He can't stay with Hermes. He just can't. There's still school, Camp, his parents would never allow it, most especially his dad. He'd rather have Percy drown than let Hermes have him. Oh what a predicament he'd put himself into.
So, deciding on what he should do, Percy got up, got dressed and got ready for Hermes' arrival at lunch.
He's going to have to break his heart.
But.. as always, a tiny but is nagging at the back of his brain. But, what if he just stays here? forever? surely Hermes might give him that. To become his immortal lover, forever. He did say he loved him. And Percy is showing reciprocation.
But.. what would Hermes do after a hundred years with him? Surely he'll get bored. He'll move on. To another woman or man probably. And then where would he be? Friendless, family-less, except for his dad, childless as he can't have a child with him.
He's definitely going to be alone. He could go back to earth, have a girlfriend, Annabeth's still available. Hopefully get married, have kids, die with his wife.
He couldn't decide on what to do. Most people would say yes to immortality if they're asked. But he's not most people. He acts differently. Thinks differently.
Fortunately, something distracted his mind as he was thinking. Apollo came rushing towards the door, smirking evilly. Which crept Percy out to the next millenia.
"Oh Perrcy." Apollo said, purring as he stalked his prey.
Hermes had just finished delivering the last of his packages for the morning. He was happy. Percy was happy with him, he was happy with Percy. Heck, he would take all the apples of Hesperides if Percy wanted him to. That was how much Hermes loved him.
But something was nagging in his mind. Something important. Hermes was bugged about that all morning. Was it about a product? a gift? He couldn't place his finger on it. That is, until he saw his house going up in flames.
Many of the minor gods and goddesses were staring at the scene. Disbelief and confusion were clear in their faces. Even the other Olympians were there. Poseidon was reluctant to help douse the fire in Hermes' house, but reluctantly does.
Hermes rushed in the house, trying to find his lover. His Percy. But there was no sign of him at all. Then, he saw something. A footprint. A wet, soggy footprint. Hermes peered in closer. There, in the middle of the footprint was the sun. It was faint, like the footprint, but it was enough proof for Hermes.
Apollo came in and took Percy away.
"APOLLO!" Hermes shouted in pain, anger and anguish, making all the other gods and goddesses cringe in fear.
Apollo watched Percy as he slept. He looked so cute, so peaceful. He was smiling. Which made Apollo smile. After seeing the kid was alone in Hermes' house, which he forgot to put any spells to block Apollo from entering, he made Percy drowsy and whisked him away to his island.
Apollo was chuckling to himself now. The island he was in was just new. Nobody knew about it, nobody cared about it. It was the perfect hideout for him and his precious. Apollo was smarter now. The island was in between land and air. There were no ocean around it, to where Percy can hide, a huge, invisible force field preventing anyone or anything from coming in or out.
It is there that Apollo would keep Percy for eternity. To never age, to never change. After his grief over Hermes, Apollo would soothe the pain. He would love Percy and Percy would love him.
Him and him only.
He was Apollo's and Apollo was his.
Apollo and Percy. Together forever. The only tree in the island says. It was a Laurel tree. With Hyacinth growing at the sides.
Percy was still dreaming happily when Apollo felt a sudden fluctuation in the atmosphere. In the cosmos really. Someone was angry at him. Who cares? Apollo thought. It was probably Hermes. Oh well, seems he just got home.
"Mm.. huh? Hermes? uh...?" Percy said, groggily as he woke up from Apollo's spell. Apollo got ready. He only needed Percy to look straight into his eyes, and surely Percy would be his.
"Hi Percy." Apollo said, staring straight into Percy's eyes. The boy gasped. The two locked eyes for a minute. Percy was his. He was his.
"Apollo.." Percy muttered. Apollo nodded. Percy smiled his bright and happy smile. "Apollo!" Percy shouts, running to hug Apollo.
"Percy." Apollo mutters as he combs his hair. "You are mine."
"And I am yours." And they kissed.
"Calm down Hermes! You too Poseidon! Calm down BOTH OF YOU!" Zeus shouted. Poseidon and Hermes glared at him.
"How can I calm down when my son is MISSING? AGAIN?" Poseidon shouted. "The first time was enough to give me anxiety attack and he comes another one! WHY IS YOUR SONS ALWAYS MESSING UP MY Son?" Poseidon roared in anger. An Island sinks down in Ireland.
"Calm down Poseidon! You just sank the Cahill Island!" Zeus shouted. Poseidon glared daggers at him. "Hermes, why wasn't I informed of this earlier? And why didn't you tell me you took Percy?" Zeus asked, exasperated.
"First of all, Uncle, I didn't take Percy. Apollo did, I merely saved him from Apollo. But I didn't know Apollo would be stupid enough to barge in at my house!" Hermes shouted.
"No, YOU were stupid enough to forget about protecting my son! It is your fault, Nephew, that my son is gone! If Percy gets hurt in anyway possible from your recklessness, Zeus forgive me, but I WILL UNLEASH MY FURY TO YOU!" Poseidon roared. There goes the London Bridge.
"And so will your children, I WILL KILL EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM, IF MY SON GETS HURT!" Poseidon shouted.
"Don't you dare lay a hand on my children!" Hermes said, rushing up to punch Poseidon in the face. Before Poseidon could retaliate, Zeus spoke up.
"STOP IT! There will be no murdering other's children unless you want a war on your hands, Poseidon!" Zeus shouted. The room became deathly silent. "Now, for the matter at hand. Does anyone have any Idea where Apollo could be? Did you check his houses?" Zeus asked.
"We checked his house here on Olympus, but no luck. Eros was checking Apollo's houses in the mortal world, but still no sign of him." Athena said. "We have also sent out troops to search for him. Even Hades is searching in the underworld. But still no sign." Athena added. Zeus rubbed his temples. This predicament was really giving him a headache.
"I say we just forget about the two. Who's with me?" Hera asked. Dionysus raised his hand, but let it down after Zeus glared at him. "Seriously, you people take this way too seriously. Okay, what will you do If I told you where they are?" Hera said, looking as bored as ever.
"You know where they are?" Zeus, Poseidon and Hermes asked. Hera scoffed and rolled her eyes.
"Duh. I told him to go there in the first place." Hera said, as she resumed filing her nails.
"Well then tell us woman!" Zeus bellowed in anger. Hera smirked.
"What would you give me so I'll open my mouth? Apollo is a very nice boy. He's my favorite. I won't betray his trust that easily." Hera said, grinning evilly at Zeus and then Poseidon.
"Hera, tell us now or else!" Zeus shouted. Hera looked unmoved.
"Or else what? You'll incinerate me? Well then, go on. But if you do, then the answer stays with me and you'll lose your chance at finding good Ol' Percy. Hahaha." Hera cackled evilly. All the others glared at her.
"I'll give you.. anything I can." Poseidon said. Hera's eyebrow went up.
"Anything? Hm. What about Percy's head?" Hera sneered. Poseidon cursed in ancient Greek as Zeus and Hermes held him back.
"Hera! Be reasonable!" Hermes shouted, struggling to hold Poseidon from killing their only lead. Hera scoffed.
"Fine. I won't ask for that. How about Annabeth's head? That surely would make a wonderful addition to my er.. collection." Hera said, smiling evilly at Athena. This time, Aphrodite and Artemis held HER back.
"Don't you dare lay your hands on my Annabeth!" Athena hissed. Hera's evil side was definitely showing now.
"Oh well, If you can't give me either their heads, then my offer is gone. Ta-ta!" Hera said as she started to walk off.
As Hera walked off, so did their only chance to find Percy.
"I love you Percy." Apollo muttered for about the hundredth time that day. The two were curled up in bed, still in their clothes, mind you pervs.
"I love you too Apollo." Percy said, snuggling for warmth in the older man.
"Ah, this is perfect. You and me, together." Apollo said, kissing Percy on the lips. It was small peck, but enough to send goosebumps on Percy's spine.
"Apollo.." Percy groaned. Apollo's hormones went raging again. Just hearing Percy say his name like that was enough to drive him wild.
"Percy.." Apollo muttered as he began undressing the young boy.
"Hera! Come on, please, help us find Percy!" Demeter said, walking alongside her sister.
"Fft. Why should I care? The brat only gives us trouble. Plus, you didn't want to pay my price, so I won't." Hera said.
"What else can we offer you Hera? We surely cannot give Percy's and Annabeth's heads to you. Surely, there must be something you really want." Demeter pleaded. Demeter could really feel how angry and vanquished Poseidon was. She felt the same way she did when Persephone was taken from her.
"I do not want anything else. Now, begone." Hera said, pushing Demeter out of her room. Demeter goes back to the council, shaking her head. Poseidon growled in anger again, filling the entire room with water as he stormed out. There were huge, massive rain clouds all over the world.
Rain poured at areas where rain normally didn't. The deserts have become flooded already. Tons of people, families dead because of Poseidon's wrath. All over the world, tragedies, calamities happened. Not even Sally Jackson could calm him down.
"Hera! Look at this! Because of you, tons of people are dying! Filling up my dimension even more!" Hades shouted in anger. "Hera! Tell us where young Percy Jackson is!" Hades shouted.
"Hahaha. Seriously, Brother, if I even rejected Zeus, my husband, what made you think I'd bother to listen to you?" Hera laughed evilly.
"Hera! Stop this nonsense and tell us where he is!" Zeus shouted, for what seemed to be the thousandth time since Percy was abducted. Hermes had stopped delivering, the plants stopped growing.
"Never." Hera spat.
Apollo hugged Percy in close. The world, the outside world was in chaos now. There was no place escaping Poseidon's wrath in the outside world. But here, in their Island, the two were safe. Days turned to weeks. Poseidon's wrath didn't stop. Apollo couldn't help but somehow be sorry for all those who died.
But whatever. He's got his Percy and that's all that matters. And best of all, nobody knows where they are. Apollo was smart. He knew about Hermes would try to send something to Apollo. But the force field prevented him from doing just that. Hermes would just fly around the world, going back to the same spot he was at.
Percy was safe with him.
"Apollo, I'm hungry." Percy said, clutching on his stomach. Apollo got up from his chair.
"Oh, Percy, there are tons of food in the kitchen, just pick out whatever you want." Apollo said, leading Percy to the kitchen. But Percy stopped him.
"I'm not hungry that way. I'm hungry the other way." Percy said, smirking at Apollo. Apollo understood the joke, carried Percy off, bridal style and the two spent hours locked in their room.
Yep. This was surely worth it.
Four months have now passed since Percy's disappearance. And the world was in ruins. About half the world's population was gone. Dead. The Underworld kept expanding over and over causing Hades to become more agitated.
But Hera still wouldn't budge. Every time they ask her about it, she'd just turn her head around and scoff.
But then, one day, she changed her mind.
"Poseidon! How dare you flood my temple!" Hera shouted in anger. The Olympian Council was formed again. With Hestia taking Apollo's seat.
"How dare you keep my son's location from me!" Poseidon retorted. "My son is my everything! And you're keeping him from me!" Poseidon shouted.
"My temple is important to me too! It is my place of worship! How dare you violate it with your waters!" Hera shouted.
"Hera! Poseidon! Stop it! Just stop it! Hera! If you just told Poseidon where Percy is, then your temple didn't need to be ruined!" Zeus shouted.
"Fine. I'll tell you where. But you, old sea bag, have to replace every statue there is and rebuild my temple!" Hera shouted in fury.
"I agree to those terms. Now, WHERE IS MY SON?" Poseidon shouted.
Apollo was busy taking a nap that afternoon so Percy was outside playing in the garden. It wasn't that big of a garden, but it was wide enough that Percy can hide in it. Which he usually does when he and Apollo were playing.
Percy had looked over the edge of the island. The waters seemed to have ceased now. Which was weird as it was going crazy just a minute ago. He wondered if something broke it.
Then, Percy spotted a wide array of colourful chariots up in the sky. They seemed to be glowing in different colors. Which was really wonderful. Then, people came out of it. Percy chuckled as they stayed in the sky. One of them seemed to be looking at him. Directly.
The man looked at about forty years old, with a small beard. The man was crying and smiling at the same time. Percy then rushed up to Apollo.
"Apollo, Apollo, there's a weird man outside crying while he was smiling. It's so weird! come on, I'll show you!" Percy said as he tugged the sleeping Apollo out.
"There see! The man's smiling while he's crying! Weird huh?" Percy said, still looking at the man in awe. Apollo, however, wasn't impressed. In fact, he was pissed.
"Percy, honey, go back to our room okay? I'll just have to go and talk with these people for a bit." Apollo said.
"Okay! Bye bye old crying happy man!" Percy said as he ran back inside. Apollo frowned.
"Well, what do you want?" he shouted. Apollo then let the noise barrier down.
"We want Percy back!" Hermes shouted.
"This is wrong, Apollo! Give him back to us, now!" Athena shouted.
"Ha! Fat chance! I am never giving Percy back to you guys! He is MINE!" Apollo shouted. The gods and goddesses then rapidly shouted at him. "Whatever you say, I AM NOT GIVING PERCY BACK! So get lost!" Apollo shouted.
"Stop being so selfish Apollo! Give us Percy back!" Hermes shouted. Apollo's eyes widened.
"I am being selfish? Says the man who ordered Zephyrus to kill Hyacinth because of his own jealousy!" Apollo shouted at Hermes.
"Apollo, that was ancient history. Now please, give us Percy back!" Hermes shouted.
"Never!" Apollo shouted. Apollo gritted his teeth.
"Why not? Afraid He'll pick me over you?" Hermes taunted. This was plan B. Athena was always ready with plans.
"Never! He knows he loves me!" Apollo shouted.
"Well, I'll actually believe that if you let him free out of that love magic you've been using on him!" Hermes shouted. "I pity you Apollo. You have to resort to love magic to make someone fall for you! Why? Has your charms been out of touch lately?"
"WHY YOU!" Apollo shouted, charging at him, leaving a hope in the force field, which Athena had expected him to do. Immediately, Poseidon and Zeus rushed inside. "NO!" He reached in, but too late.
Dionysus then held Apollo in place with vines. Demeter helped him. The force field eventually broke down and the gods and goddess landed. A shout was heard inside the house.
"Help! Let go of me! Apollo!" Percy shouted. Apollo wanted to go out and reach for him, but was tied down. He couldn't.
"Come on Percy, let's go and wash out that love magic." Hermes said as he carried the wailing Percy away from the island.
After almost dropping in the River Lethe, the love magic wore off. Percy's memories came rushing back, which gave him a migraine which lasted for a week, even with the multivitamins Hermes gave him.
Apollo was sentenced to Camp Half-Blood for a Millenia. Dionysus' punishment was lifted. Everything was back to normal now. Everybody, or msotly everybody was happy.
And now it was time for the choice.
"Percy, would you come home with me, become an Immortal god forever?" Hermes asked. Percy hesitates for a bit.
"Hermes, I am honored. But, I can't. Not just yet. Will you wait for me? When I'm in the brink of mortal life, will you then take me?" Percy asked.
"Sigh, I guess that will do. Though I'll visit you often, and snuggle with you." Hermes said, causing Percy and the others to laugh.
Barely a year passed when Percy was hit by a car. He was going home that night from school when a drunk driver accidentally hit him. Percy asked for Hermes and Hermes replied.
Now, Percy is a god. The god of childhood. Protectors of kidnapped children and enslaved children. The others welcomed him proudly and happily in Olympus.
"Ready for bed, Percy?" Hermes asked, kicking off his jeans.
"Sure, hug me close?" Percy asked, laying down beside his husband.
"Of course I will." Hermes said, snuggling close to his husband.
WOOT! I actually made it through! Wow, I'm immensely proud of my work!
Okay, erm, It might have some spelling errors, but bear it with me. I've decided to write this than my homework lol!
R&R I want to see what you guys thought =]
Thanks!
oh wait, Omake time!
Percy and Hermes laid in bed, talking about their life together.
"So Hermes.. one thing still bugs me." Percy muttered. Hermes looked up to his lover.
"What is it, Percy?" Hermes asked.
"Um.. I remember seeing a love arrow in my room. Did you send that by any chance?" Percy asked. Hermes looked confused.
"A love arrow? No I don't recall anything about that." Hermes said, causing Percy to be surprised.
"You didn't? Oh.. well, I snapped it into two just to make sure. It did have my name and all." Percy said, baffled at the revelation.
"Oh.. well, it shouldn't have caused any problems seeing as you disposed of it properly." Hermes said, snuggling back to position. But Percy still isn't settled.
"Hermes.. can I ask you another question?" Percy muttered. Hermes sat back up and faced Percy.
"Sure kid, shoot." Hermes said.
"Okay, remember when Apollo was still keeping me prisoner? How.. did, I.. erm.. fall in love with him? I remember you say something about love magic.." Percy said, slightly embarrassed at the fact.
"Oh. That's easy. It seems Aphrodite was working along Apollo all the time. She said, quote 'I just love good yaoi stories! And a love trio like you three, I just can't resist!' so she lent Apollo some love magic. Anything else?" Hermes said, smiling at Percy.
"Oh. Lousy goddess of love." Percy said, turning off the lights and resuming their position.
"Love you." Hermes muttered in his ear.
"Love you too." Percy replied and the two snuggled to sleep.
Okay, done~
I really hoped you enjoyed it =3
