Chapter 2:
As they entered Poseidon's cabin, Hermes automatically ran to the bed and collapsed.
Percy chuckled, "Really Hermes? Don't fall asleep yet, I still need to give you a massage."
Hermes sighed in happiness as he wrapped himself in the blankets.
Percy sighed at the god and went to his drawer.
"How do you want your massage Hermes? If you want it a certain way I'll do it like that. If you don't know, I'll do it my way."
"Do it your way Percy." Hermes said as he took off his shirt and laid face-down.
Percy hummed in response and took out his homemade and special lotion. He walked towards Hermes and glanced at his back.
"You're really sore aren't you? Your back also hurts a lot. I can tell from your back." Percy stated.
"Yeah, it does, your amazing Percy." Hermes said in amazement.
"Well, I know a trick to help you then." Percy said as he applied his lotion to both of his hands.
"I'll leave it to you then Percy." Hermes said as Percy put his hands on his back.
"Yeah, I got it." Percy said as he applied pressure when he pressed into Hermes's back.
He continued to press until he was surely Hermes had relaxed.
Then he grabbed the shoulders and massaged it roughly.
"Percy, that kinda hurts…" Hermes said softly.
"Hold on for 2 minutes Hermes, I'm sorry, but it won't hurt after 2 minutes trust me." Percy assured.
Hermes faintly nodded and stayed quiet.
"It doesn't hurt anymore!" Hermes exclaimed after 2 minutes passed.
"It actually feels good…" he melted into the touch of Percy's fingers as they massaged his shoulders.
Percy did it for another 3 minutes before he stopped and lightly punched Hermes back using the side of his fist. He continued this until he got the whole back.
"Percy, where did you learn to do such thing?" Hermes asked in bliss.
"My mom worked really hard so I massaged her back for her. When my first step-father came, he made me do it to him and his friends." Percy said the last part quietly.
"Oh, such a good boy." Hermes said happily.
"I'm done now, you can sleep." Percy said as he went out of the bed.
Hermes hummed and instantly went to sleep.
