[chap 2]

It was already dawn when Percy got back to the cave after searching around for food and miraculously he spotted something like a temple somewhere at the base of the volcano. He only needed now is to wake Jason. He looked at the blond and smiled. Jason might have said some hurtful things last night but still after saying that he'll stay with him, Percy couldn't help but feel giddy. It made him remember the time that they met. Just like Percy, Jason was wearing a toga that made him stood out from the other Greeks. Even with his good looks, Percy couldn't help but find it rather funny.

Percy smiled at the memory but was immediately brought back as Jason said something in his sleep. Piper. He immediately cringed.

"So it's just somewhere there?" Jason asked Percy as they were making their way towards the temple that the older boy saw. It was already probably nine in the morning, Jason guessed, and obviously they were both starving.

"Yeah." Percy answered not bothering to look back at Jason.

Jason wasn't exactly sure if he did something wrong. He knew he said some hurtful things last night but Percy seemed fine after a while that they were making camp. The older boy was even grinning ear to ear probably reminiscing the kiss that they just have that made Jason only felt guilty. It's not like he hates Percy but heck he doesn't exactly like him in a romantic way. If it was Nico in his place then there won't be much of a problem but alas it was him who got the chance to be stuck in this situation. Anyway the moment he woke up, Percy was already staring at him like he was the shittiest bastard he'd ever seen. He tried to speak but Percy only said. "Follow me." And now, here they are, going through the woods, hoping that it was some god's temple that has some edible offerings.

They were already a quarter way through when Percy said something but Jason was way too busy with his thoughts to listen. And with a step, he lost his balance and screamed, actually forgetting that he can fly. Percy looked back, worried and was immediately tackled down by Jason's falling body.

"Shit" Percy murmured as he grabbed his aching head and made Jason snapped from his trance. He was on top of the older boy, who was seriously not amused laying down on moist ground with an aching head. Jason immediately moved but was surprised when Percy immediately grabbed his shoulder with one hand and moaned a "Fuck Grace" with a flushed face.

"What?" Jason asked confused as hell. Even he was blushing.

"Get your fucking knee off me!" Percy yelled as he tried to push himself away from Jason.

Jason looked down and immediately raised his traitor of a knee away from Percy's little man. Though he swear he felt that the thing was kind of hard. 'Fuck! This is not going well.' He thought to himself.

"Just get off of me." Percy mumbled, looking away, hand still on Jason's shoulder. And Jason could swear, Percy wasn't even pushing him away. But obviously he have to move or else Percy might get some ideas and so will he. He didn't want that to happen.

He first stood up and offered his hand to the still blushing boy, who grabbed his hand and stood next to him. For a lingering moment, they were just holding hands, where Percy was looking down, a smile making its way to his lips and where Jason was internally cursing himself from not pulling away. To his luck, Percy was the one who let go first.

"We're almost there." was what he said as he took off towards the temple.

"Yeah." Jason said as he looked at the boy, eyes tinted with concern.

"I'm sorry." Jason said as he looked down at the crackers on his hand. He looked at Percy, who looked at him with scared eyes and he couldn't help but feel sorry for him.

"For what?" Percy asked as he fiddled with his fingers, agitated.

"Your memories, they're not real." Jason said head low, afraid to see how Percy took the news. But the silence was killing him so he looked up. Percy was staring at him angrily, hands curled into fists at his sides as if another word from Jason and Percy would give him a good punch.

"What do you mean?" Percy asked, anger on his voice.

"I mean the person you love isn't me. It's Annabeth. That blue fruit probably did some crazy things in your head." Jason explained as he tried to sound as convincing as he could. This whole thing with Percy was messing him up.

"Annabeth?" Percy asked eyes staring down at the marbled floor.

"Yes. Don't you remember her?" Jason asked hopefully as he scooted closer to Percy.

"Ah. Her." Percy said and a tear fell from his eye. Jason immediately beamed a smile and hugged Percy. He patted his back and asked. "So you remember her?"

"Yeah." Percy answered with displeased eyes, which made Jason lose his smile. "She's Piper's mortal friend." He said with so much distaste that Jason immediately knew he made the older boy angry.

"She's not mor—" He tried to explain but Percy instantly cut him off with a punch. He fell to the floor and winced as he felt the cold floor on his newly punched cheek.

"Jeez Jason! I'm not that stupid!" Percy yelled standing up, laughing and looked down at the other with hateful eyes.

"I—" Jason tried to speak but Percy spoke first.

"You're probably thinking, 'Hey Percy ate some stupid fruit and made him sick. And since we're in a fucking weird island, maybe he's stupid enough to believe some utterly bullshit things I'm going to say. After all he only have seaweeds for a brain.' Well! Fuck you, Grace!" he said mockingly as if there were no tears continuously falling from his eyes.

Jason quickly stood up and hugged Percy. Percy tried to push him away as his sobs begins to grow louder and louder until he no longer have the strength to push the blond away and all he could do was cry on his shoulder and hug him back. Jason cursed himself from even trying to make Percy remember. This wasn't doing any good. All he could make out of it was a fight and followed by Percy's crying.

"I'm sorry." Jason whispered as he caress Percy gently. He didn't know what else to do. What could he possibly do? Percy was messed up. Even he was starting to think that he's messed up too.

"Jason." Percy muttered in between sobs, his hands clenched on the back of Jason's shirt.

"Yeah?" Jason answered looking at Percy whose crying still won't stop and wiped some tears away with his thumb.

"I love you. You know that right? No matter what kind of shitty things you say to me now, I'll still love you. When I fell in Tartarus, you were the only one who made me continue to live. You were my saving grace." Jason laughed lightly at the pun but Percy shushed him and continued. "So please Jason, don't mistake my love for you as something that was nothing but made up. Even when your eyes were already on Piper, my eyes were always on you."

Jason can only hear his heart thump as his blue eyes locked with greens. And before he knew it, his lips were on Percy's, loving the way those chapped lips matched his.
