Percy opened his eyes and felt Luke's warm body wrapped around his. The steady trickle of the fountain from the other side of the room was the only sound that could be heard. Luke shuffled his body slightly, but kept his eye shut. Percy had nothing better to do, so he began recalling and attempting to make sense of last night's events:
He was sitting on his bed, around ten, and heard a knock on the door. He was in his pajamas, just got out of the shower, and really did not want to answer. Anabeth could wait, he thought, but something in the back of his head told him it was not Anabeth, and that he needed to answer the door. When he pulled the door open Chiron stood in front of him,
"Perseus, I hate to bother you at this hour but it is of dire importance," Percy nodded, and Chiron stepped to the left revealing a tall, blonde figure,
"L-Luke?!" Percy felt his knees wobble, "oh my gods…you're ok!" Percy dove forward and wrapped him in a tight hug, "I thought the gods would've…" Luke kissed the top of his head,
"I know, so did I," Percy felt the need to cry but decided that crying in front of Chiron was one thing he did not want to repeat; he had cried after Luke died…like a little school girl. Chiron cleared his throat and the two stepped away quickly,
"Sorry," Percy lied bluntly, Chiron smiled,
"Anyway, although Luke is a son of Hermes, we found it in…his best interest to not have him go there tonight. Your father has agreed to let him stay in his cabin for a short period of time…at least until everyone is…accustomed to his return; if that's ok with you." Percy nodded,
"Of course, he can totally stay here." Luke smiled and stepped closer to Percy,
"I will leave you two to…as they say...'catch up." Chiron smiled and galloped away. Luke turned to face Percy smiling,
"It's beyond amazing to see you again," he whispered pulling Percy into another hug.
"I feel like I'm dreaming," Percy grabbed Luke's shoulders and couldn't help himself, "I thought I lost you." Tears began streaming from his eyes,
"I…"Luke tried to hold back his own tears, "I know…me too…I thought for sure I'd…I'd never see you again." Percy lifted his head and gave Luke a small peck on the cheek,
"Come inside," He grabbed Luke's hand and pulled it with him through the door. Luke pulled Backbitter out of his back pocket and placed it on the bunk across from where Percy's stuff was laid out.
"I guess I'll take this bunk," he smiled slightly, Percy shook his head,
"I thought you would…never mind it's stupid. Wherevers fine with me." Luke walked over and ran a hand through his hair,
"Nothing you have to say is stupid,"
"Cornflakes," Percy smiled, sticking out his tongue,
"That was slightly unintelligent, but not stupid." Percy wrapped his arms around Luke's back and pulled him forward, resting his head on his chest,
"How?" Luke sighed,
"They're regarding me as a hero….they knew I sacrificed myself to kill Kronos…it's a miracle I'm still alive…that's all they said…to me at least. Chiron knows a lot more about it but he refuses to tell me anything. Typical Chiron right?"Percy squeezed Luke's back tighter,
"You are a hero…"
"Please stop crying…" Luke rubbed small circles into Percy's back,
"I can't…." Luke pulled back slightly and used his hand to lift Percy's chin,
"Please," he kissed Percy, "I'm here," another kiss, "forever," and deeper kiss, "for good this time."
Percy leaned his nose against Luke's, their mouths centimeters apart, Luke smiled,
"Is your dad going to be mad about that?" Percy shook his head,
"No…he's going to be mad at this though," Percy stepped back and pulled his pajama shirt over his head, and then he did the same to Luke. Luke rested his forehead back on Percy's and rested his arms around Percy's waist, "I forgot how perfect this felt," Percy whispered breathlessly. Luke pushed Percy's chest so he fell on top of the bed, Percy smiled and clawed at the blankets as Luke crawled in next to him. Percy nestled himself so he was engulfed in Luke's warmth,
"Thank you," Luke whispered,
"For what," Percy was muffled by the blankets,
"For forgiving me…for being perfect…" Percy lifted his head and smiled at Luke,
"I was never mad," Percy slid his hand slowly down Luke's chest and then brought it back up to his heart, "I knew you still had this." Percy felt two drops of water on his forehead and looked up to see Luke crying. For the first time since his arrival Percy thought about what Luke was going through, instead of himself. Luke had literally committed suicide almost five days ago, he had just saved everyone from Kronos, and now he was pretending to be strong for Percy as he entered a camp full of people that loathed him. Yet Percy was the one that kept crying. Percy slid his body in closer and began stroking his hair,
"I love you," Luke whispered, and Percy, for once, said nothing and just continued to stroke Luke's hair until they both fell asleep.
