Zeus's P.O.V
I looked at the hyper child of Hermes in front of me and I couldn't hold back a frustrated sigh. "Since when does the king of the gods babysit?"
"Oh quit with the imperial tone, your lord grumpiness. I'm not happy about having to hang out with you either. You're just so dull. You don't know how to have fun." Travis snapped sassily.
"Oh really." I snarled, getting ready to accept the challenge. "Fine, your sassy gayness and I are going to be pulling pranks today." Travis shot up in his seat at the prospect of entertainment.
"Good, but you have to choose the first prank. Just to prove that you can run with the big boys." The insolent child teased. I narrowed my eyes, before shrinking down to a height only a few inches taller than Travis and I made myself the same age as him. I'd show this kid how a real prank was done.
…
I wrapped a string around a ladies metal wallet without her knowing, and when she turned to walk away I yanked the string. Her wallet flew from her grasp and with my control of the winds I made the wallet land in my hand. Then I walked over to the lady, charged her wallet with electricity, and handed it back to her. She immediately yanked her hand away, before furrowing her brows and trying to grab it again, but she was shocked again. She tried this about ten more times before snatching the wallet and getting a hard electric shock. Travis walked over.
"Nice." He said with grudging respect, before fist bumping me.
For the rest of the day we pulled more and more pranks. By the time it was time for lunch we were both hungry. We stopped at a McDonald's and grabbed a bite to eat.
"So, how are you and Hera doing?" Travis asked casually but there was a certain edge to his voice. The mention of my wife made me scowl.
"Her? She's annoying and naggy as usual." I said in disgust. This seemed to brighten Travis's spirits and it made him smile. He had a cute smile, because it screamed hide your wallet but his eyes screamed trustworthy.
"Like what you see?" Travis suggested wriggling his eyebrows at me. "You should take a picture it'll last longer plus I could always sign it for fifty drachmas." Travis winked.
"Are you flirting with me, Stoll?" I asked with mock shock before smiling at him.
"Didn't realize you played for both teams." He said with slight shock.
"Oh, I don't. But back when I became King of the Gods gay relationships weren't acceptable." I stated seriously. "It was just easier to pretend."
"Well if you ever want to go on a second date IM me. Because it looks like this one has ended, seeing as it's about time I get back to camp." Travis flirted openly, giving me a kiss on the cheek, as he left.
"Damn. I can't believe I have a crush on that brat." I said with mock anger, smiling happily.
Wrote this for the Mortally Immortal Couples Challenge on the Percy Jackson and the Land of Writing forum. My pairing was Zeus and Travis Stoll, obviously.
