Bleached

What if Percy did not survive the 2nd Giant war. What if there was a greater force than Gaea or Tartarus or even the Gods. What if Jason fell in love with the wrong person. What if their lives were bleached.

"Percy!? What happened!?" Chiron gestured to the couch for Percy to sit.

"Well…I think I died then I woke up in this weird place called Planatoria…" Percy began.

"Osmium! I should have known!" Chiron exclaimed. "Anyway, continue."

"Yeah, so, Woke up in Planatoria, Osmium gave me these cool wings, made a portal, flew down here, met Jason and now I'm here talking to you."

Chiron nodded. "Well done summarizing it. But you are named Asher because?"

"I want to start over. I want a break from being Percy Jackson, Saviour of Olympus, Straight boyfriend to Annabeth Cha-" The green-eyed boy slammed his hands over his mouth after realizing what he just said. His eyes filled with fear that the centaur would be disgusted but instead he smiled kindly.

"It's okay. Honestly, with the incredibly close friendship you had with Mr Grace before you…well…died, I didn't expect anything less."

Percy's whole body relaxed visibly then contracted again.

"Jason!? I wasn't talking about Jason! Jason and I are just friends! I don't feel anything towards Jason!"

"Whatever you say…That will be all then. You may go join the rest but I'm warning you: word has most probably spread through camp. There is no escape from fame for you Percy, or should I say, Asher."

And Chiron was indeed correct. As he stepped out of the doors, the entire camp was gathered, Jason grinning right up front. A girl, Lacy, piped up from the crowd.

"So is it true that you're Drew's Boyfriend?" Confusion flashed on both Jason and Percy's face before realization dawned. Drew shoved her way through the group and clung to Percy's arm and whispered harshly in his ear.

"Say yes"

"Um no." Percy announced and Drew's face turned purple. "No. I'm not Drew's boyfriend, she's just spreading rumors." The camp snickered under their breaths. "Sorry Drew but I'm past being anyone's boyfriend" She huffed in annoyance and stomped off. In the corner of his eye, he noticed how Jason's face fell and he too, pushed his way out of the crowd. "Ja-"

"What are you?"

"Where you from?"

"What's your name?"

Question upon question was piled on Percy as the campers surrounded him, preventing him from reaching the blond who was making a beeline towards the Zeus Cabin.

(Short intercession- The giants were all killed in Jason's explosion. Octavian was shot out of the sky, hitting Leo, but yall already know that. leo's with Calypso soooooo… Sorry if there is any confusion. If u need any more explanation then feel free to message me 3)

After explaining all that Percy wanted to explain to the campers he told them all that he would sleep. Standing in front of the Poseidon Cabin, tears prickled at Percy's eyes. Instead of entering like his previous self would, he knocked on Zeus's door.

"Jason?" he heard movement "Jase? I'm coming in…"

The opening of the cabin door exposed a shirtless Jason sprawled across is bunk, glasses hanging off his nose, book in hand.

"Why'd you run off so suddenly?!" Percy tried to distract himself from staring at Jason's perfectly sculpted chest.

"It felt too crowded." Jason fixed his glasses and sat up, tossing the book aside.

"Crowds make you mad?" Percy sat at the opposite edge of Jason's bed, staring at the wall just above the Jason's blond hair.

"Do you not know how to look someone in the eye when trying to talk to them?" Jason shot back.

"Um…"

Jason scooted over, right next to percy, who was beginning to blush.

"Asher? Asher!?" Jason got hold of Percy's chin and aimed it towards himself.

Silence

They stared at each other for a while, admiring the beauty of each other's eyes.

"Well! I'd best get to bed. Its been too long a day." Where did this english come from!? Percy thought to himself. He panicked then leaped up from the bed and stuck his hand out. "Nice meeting y-".

Jason grabbed his hand and pulled causing both boys to fall back onto the pillows.

More silence.

Percy who was lying upon Jason turned scarlet. Barely and inch between them, hands still connected.

It was Percy who finally decided to roll off lying on his back next to Jason who was just as stunned.

Why did you pull me!?"

"You were meant to pull me up!"

"Why would I do that!?"

"Coz that's what you're supposed to do when you help someone up!"

"I was shaking your hand you jackass!"

"What are you!? 60?"

Both were embarrassed.

"Sorry…"

"It's fine, honestly."

Jason smirked. "Fine? Does that mean you want to do again?"

And with that, Percy shot out of the cabin doors.
