"Perseus darling!" Sally Blofis called to her son from across the small apartment. "Are you packed yet? The train is leaving in 4 hours!"
"Yeah Ma, I'm packed." Percy answered walking into the room with a box in hand.
"Oh gods. You need a haircut." Sally rolled her eyes in the direction of Percy. His messy black hair was falling into his face, hiding his sea-green eyes.
Nico entered the room a smirk on his face "Yeah Perseus I can't even see your beautiful eyes." He mocked, earning himself a punch in the shoulder from Percy.
"Stop fooling around guys!" Sally scolded. " Paul is waiting outside!"
Percy glanced towards his mother, looking sheepish. "Come on Nico. You can help me carry boxes." Percy said pulling the younger boy towards his bedroom.
"Actually I'm extremely busy." Nico protested tugging the other way.
"Look." Percy said once they were safely inside his room. " My moms under an insane amount of stress right now and I really don't need you coming here and stressing me out. Because if you do there will only be a lot of yelling which my mom can't handle right now." He took a deep breath after his speech.
"Woah, relax dude." Nico said staring at Percy wide eyed. "Please."
Percy shook his head, causing his hair to fly around his face. " Sorry. I'm just bummed about having to move to Lima Ohio. I didn't even know that was a place until a month ago. Lima, who names a place Lima?" Percy asked to nobody in particular.
On The Train
"Urgh, I do not want to go to LIMA" Percy whined.
Nico rolled his eyes out the window. Percy hadn't stopped complaining since they'd boarded the train. "I know, it makes me think of Lima Beans. And nobody likes Lima Beans."
Paul frowned. " I for one, like Lima Beans very much. And Lima –the place not the bean- is a great town. I spent a good part of my childhood there. I had a good buddy-William Schuester. We used to be inseperable." Then as an after thought he added: " Just like you two."
As one the boys scrunched up faces in disgust at the suggestion. "Really?" Percy asked. "It says here my Spanish teacher is Mr. Shcuester."
" Well I'll be." Pondered Paul. " I suppose it could be the same person, though I doubt it. Will was always the wild one, hardly likely he became a teacher. He was supposed to become a broadway star."
Nico smirked. "A broadway star? Was he gay?"
" You never kinow. could be Williams husband." Percy said.
Paul, insulted looked at the two boys. " Will was not gay in fact he was a very, very straight guy."
"Do not like the implications there." Nico whispered in Percy ear.
" Uh, Paul if you don't mind me asking-how would you know that much about his, uh, physical relationships?" Percy asked Paul. Then turning to Nico he added. " And what does implications mean?"
"Dude, are you serious?" Nico exclaimed.
Percy nodded sheepishly.
Paul sighed. "He dated a girl named Terry all throughout highschool. Ahh Terry….." Sally slapped him across the face angrily. " Uh anyways" Paul continued. "We-like almost any teenage boys would- loved to, uh, brag." Paul coughed into his fist, looking down.
" Oh I know what you mean." Nico smirked.
" Boys! Can you please stop being so…. Like boys!" Sally sputtered angrily.
