Sorry, I love procrastinating! But here I am again. Thank you all for the support, it means so much to me.

To bookwormsoftie22: I can try haha! I'll see if inspiration strikes and maybe do something just for you.;)

The warmth of the shower envelopes Percy, but he barely noticed. Huffing, he uses his left hand to brace himself against the tiled wall. His right was a bit preoccupied.

He pumps his arm, roughly gripping himself. Unable to get Apollo out of his head, he had settled for this. Is this what my life has become? Pleasuring myself in the shower like some prepubescent kid learning to masturbate?

His breaths came louder as he came close to finishing. Just as he was about to let it all go, there was a knock at the open cabin door.

"Percy? You in there?" An all-too familiar voice chimed. Shit. He hadn't seen her in weeks, this was not how he wanted to greet her.

"Annabeth? Um, I'm in the shower huff so could you huff come back later?" He was trying so hard to not cum, but it was going to happen whether it was wanted or not. The question was only of time.

There's a crinkling of fabric as Annabeth sits on the bed, then a short shriek as she realizes it's still soaking wet. "What in the- you realize your bed is completely covered in water, right? Anyways, I can wait, nothing I haven't seen before."

She's so damn nonchalant. Percy shoves his fist in his mouth as he finally cums all over his hand, the only thought in his head of Apollo's lips. He quickly cleans himself up and shakes his head, trying to remove all thoughts of that sort before greeting Annabeth. God, he was embarrassed.

Giving one final nod of the head to dispel any lingering tendencies, Percy ties a towel around his waist and exits the bathroom. "I wasn't expecting to see you. How have you been?"

"Oh, all right I suppose. I was about to go meet up with this guy, and I figured I'd say hello to you," she answers.

"Guy? What guy?"

"Oh, just someone I met at a cafe downtown. He's very sweet. Speaking of, is there anyone you've been seeing...?"

How could she possibly know about- wait. Did she see Apollo's very open display of affection? Percy begins to panic. "I, uh, well. It's complicated."

"I see," she murmurs. Her face is unreadable and she ducks to look at her watch, using her hair as a shield. "I'll be off then. Bye, Seaweed Brain."

Her use of the old nickname cuts Percy. "See ya, Wise Girl," he says, but she's already out the door.

Pulling on some boxers and jeans, he figures things can't get much worse. Wet mattress, unthinkable thoughts about a particular sun god, and now Annabeth knew it. Then his phone lit up.

NEW MESSAGE FROM: unknown number

Hey big boy, heard some Wise Girl dropped by for a quick chat. Also, perhaps I should call you Seaweed now. It's fitting, seeing as how that's where we first...

Percy quickly exits the text before reading the rest; he didn't want to know how Apollo would describe what they had done. But if he had known about Annabeth's visit, what else did he know about the younger boy's recent activities?

He enters the number as a new contact and quickly types a message.

TO: Apollo-That-Son-Of-A-Bitch

how did u get my number? and how long were u watching?

Not much time passed before he received a reply.

NEW MESSAGE FROM: Apollo-That-Son-Of-A-Bitch

Long enough.;)

And really. Seaweed. I'm a god. I can do pretty much anything.

Percy wasn't sure how to process what was happening, so he sat there with his mouth agape for a few minutes. He blinked twice, cleared his throat, and quickly put on a shirt in case Apollo was still around.

The room is quiet, only the sound of waves hitting the dock and the susurrous of campers outside. A growl from Percy's stomach pierces the peacefulness and reminds him that he hasn't eaten all day. Hair still damp, he leaves his cabin and walks towards the mess hall. Not many people are milling about, to his relief, so he grabs a sandwich and sits at an empty table.

Maybe nobody saw the kiss, he thinks. The demigod casts a few glances around but nobody pays much notice to him. His sigh of gratitude is cut off by Grover practically sitting on his lap and announcing, "So you and Apollo are a thing now?" That got everyone's attention.

Nervously laughing, Percy stutters, "N-no, he was just messing around. You know how that horn dog is."

"So I'm a horn dog now?" Apollo says, also sitting too close for comfort. Percy nearly jumps out of his skin, wondering, did everyone develop super stealth while I was in the shower? "You didn't seem to mind it much earlier-" He's cut off by a sharp jab to the ribs from the boy in question.

"Cut it out, it's not funny anymore." Grover obviously thought differently, as he was laughing his ass off. Percy could feel his face growing red, but he hoped no one would notice.

Of course, Apollo noticed. "Aww, you're blushing. Do someone have a little crush?" He waggled his eyebrows at the last part.

"Stop, man!" This just made them laugh harder. The satyr wipes a tear from his eye, still giggling, and says, "I'll leave you two lovebirds to it, I have a few things to do. But remember, there are children around!"

Percy stares after him as he exits the room, then glares at his sandwich. Apollo wraps his arm around him and says, "Don't be angry, Seaweed. It's all in good fun."

"Then why," Percy shakes him off, "am I not enjoying it?"

The god smirks, and moves closer even thought Percy thought it wasn't possible. "Oh trust me, you are. You have the worst poker face. Though you have a wonderful 'oh!' face-" He's cut off by another rib jab. "I told you to stop referencing that."

"Sorry, sorry. I just can't control myself around you..." Apollo's voice dropped to a throaty growl at the last sentence. He places his hand on the other's thigh and slowly inches it upwards.

Abruptly, Percy stands up. "Not here."

"Somewhere else then?"

"I gotta go," Percy manages to get out. He knows his face is redder than a tomato and Apollo is talking way too loud for comfort.

He quickly throws away his tray and walks towards the door. When he's almost free, Apollo sing-songs after him, "That wasn't a no!"
