Here's the next chapter, enjoy!

Jason ran his hand through his hair in frustration, hating feeling so helpless. Something was obviously very wrong and upsetting his boyfriend but for the life of him he couldn't figure out what. He sighed and sat down on a bench near the basketball court. He watched without really watching as the Ares boys went against the Hunters during a game of basketball. Needless to say, the boys were being creamed.

He shook his head and sighed, putting his elbows on his legs and pressing his face into his hands. The Hunters had arrived at camp a few days ago, since they were passing through the area. Artemis had decided to let them stay for a while. He wondered if he should ask Thalia if she knew. No matter how much they fought, he knew Percy and Thalia were really close friends, despite him being a boy and her being a Hunter.

Jason bit his lip and closed his eyes, trying to think as he half listened to the Hunters taunting the Ares boys. He knew Luke wasn't the problem. That was the first thing Percy had asked, since the anniversary of that day had been getting close to when he first noticed Percy was upset.

He had seen the genuine truth in Percy's eyes, and ever since they had that talk the night on the Argo, and the other talk a few weeks after that, Jason was assured that Luke wasn't why he was upset. But what? Jason was at a loss for what could upset Percy this badly. He knew it wasn't because…because of Tartarus, when the two of them went down there. They had both healed from that, for the most part. Other than the occasional nightmare or so…

Suddenly he felt someone ruffle his hair and, normally he would've been mad, but he was too worried to care. Besides, only one person would even do that besides Percy. He opened his eyes and saw Thalia standing in front of him, her eyebrow raised with an amused expression. "Hey little bro, what's up? Shouldn't you and Percy be out, I dunno, doing stuff?" she waggled her eyebrows, and despite Jason's current mood he chuckled. "Nah Thalia. No way." Then as soon as it came, Jason's happiness was gone and he sighed miserably.

Thalia's eyebrows furrowed in concern and she sat down next to Jason, keeping her bow on her lap so it was ready to use at a moment's notice, not that she couldn't fight without it. "Jason, what's up? Why are you so glum? You should be out celebrating, or getting your butt kicked by some of the Hunters." She grinned, hoping to cheer him up. Jason was touched by her efforts to lift his spirits, but he knew nothing would make him feel better until Percy felt better.

"It's just…" Jason hesitated, turning to Thalia. "Something's wrong with Percy and he won't tell me what's wrong!" He was desperate, hoping maybe Thalia had some answers. She had known Percy longer than he had; maybe she knew what was bothering him. "I know it doesn't have anything to do with Luke, I'm positive about that. But it's obvious something is bothering him, and it didn't start until a few days ago and I don't know what to do because no one around here seems to know what is wrong with him-" he cut himself off when he realized he had started ranting and that his voice was getting louder. A few Ares boys looked at him weirdly and some of the Hunter's gave him disgusted looks, like him panicking about his boyfriend was gross.

Thalia frowned at him, and her eyes were sad. She reached over and ran her hand over Jason's cheek, and for a second he was confused until he realized she was wiping away a few tears. He didn't realize he had started crying. Jason took a deep breath to calm himself and muttered an apology. Thalia waved it off though and moved her hand away.

Her gaze studied him, sad and serious eyes meeting desperate ones. She looked like she was contemplating something, before she sighed and put her hand on his knee. "Jason… I need to tell you something." For a second he was confused, but she didn't give him a chance to talk because she kept going.

"Two years ago, when…" she closed her eyes for a moment before opening them again, and they were full of pain. "When Luke died and after the Titan War, something happened with Percy. He was celebrating his birthday with Annabeth." She glanced at him and Jason nodded. He had heard of Annabeth before, not from Percy, but from other campers like the Athena Cabin and Grover. Apparently, she and Percy were the best of friends, inseparable.

"Well," she continued, "Annabeth and Percy were talking about Rachel, the Oracle, and how she wasn't allowed to date now. Then… Percy said something and it made Annabeth realize that Percy still liked Rachel. So she became a Hunter, because Percy broke her heart. She left him and hasn't talked to him for two years."

Jason gaped at her and shook his head fiercely, not believing what she had told him. "No way. Percy… he's gay." Jason said bluntly. "He talks about Rachel all the time-" he was cut off by a sad voice from behind him. "So Percy really does have feelings for her..."

Jason spun around in surprise and watched as a young girl walked up to them. No way could she have been older then sixteen, but then he noticed she had a silver quiver and bow slung over her back, and she had that same silver hue around her that all the Hunters did. No, she may have looked sixteen, but if Jason had learned anything about the Hunters, it was that they all were older than they looked.

"Jason... meet Annabeth. Annabeth, meet my little brother, Jason." Thalia said quietly.
