Hey everybody! Were you just as excited about the Sea of Monsters movie as I was? I was bouncing off the walls come August 7. I was dying to see it the night it premiered, but alas no theatre near me was doing one, so I settled on seeing it at two ten that day. Gonna see it again!

Anywho, I know I haven't written for this one in a looooong time, especially since I started my first ever Percabeth (titled Never Again if you're interested in checking it out). It felt about time to update some Jacey! (why is Percy submissive? I get Jason is a little more outgoing than he is but still…)

…

Jason's POV

…

I was a nervous wreck by the time I got back to Percy's apartment. My meeting with Leo really hit home on the fact I was not being that loyal boyfriend everyone would expect me to be. Piper would claim I'm all sweet and innocent and down-to-earth and all that sappy bullshit females feed you when they have nothing else to think of. Leo would dub me as a ladies man (though not now) and would say I was "experimenting" and not quite ready to settle down. He was closer to the truth. Which was…I was scared to death. Percy, well, he was the first boy I dated, let alone thought about a steady relationship with. He drove me crazy with his shy smile and sea green eyes and dazzling hotness. Oh god, I was turning into Piper!

"You can do this," I said to myself, not quite believing it. My hands were shaking, my heart was racing, my breath was coming in ragged, shallow gasps, and sweat was pouring into my eyes and blurring my vision. In short, I was nervous. Definitely. Nervous. I'm not sure what it was about this kid, but he brought me to my knees. Maybe that was a good thing. My legs moved me on their own accord and I soon found myself in front of his apartment door. Acting robotically, I reached up and gently rapped on the door. The turning of locks could be heard and there before me stood Percy, dressed in a white tank top and blue boxers, apparently not caring his mother and stepfather were just behind him, shooting us curious looks. His eyes narrowed, sizing me up. Not good, not good at all.

"What do you want?" he asked, his voice guarded and cold. Gods, I was going to die if he kept this up.

"Percy, can I explain myself?" I pleaded. His gaze traveled up and down my body, taking in my disarray hair, rumpled clothes, and the stench of the alley. Heaving a great sigh, he opened the door the rest of the way and I slipped gratefully past him. "By the way, you look cute," I added. His mother smothered her laughter, and Percy automatically looked down to study himself. A little of the old him slipped back into place as he turned a light shade of pink and made his way down the hall to his room.

"I'm glad you came back, dear," his mother said to me. "He was so upset when you left." My heart instantly plummeted. He thought I actually left him for good? That would explain his cold behavior towards me.

"Miss Jackson," I began, not exactly sure how I was going to go about this. "The only reason I left is because he told me to. If I had any idea how much pain it caused him, I would've stayed rooted to the spot. But the only reason he sent me away was because…" Percy came back then, black shorts now in place, but white tank top remaining. He looked so goddam cute it was all I could do not to run to him, gather him in my arms, and beg forgiveness while simultaneously kissing every inch of available skin. But I held back, mostly for the sake of his parents, but partly because he was still giving me a cold look.

"You'd better make this quick, Jason," he said, crossing his arms. "And you'd better have a damn good excuse for actually leaving when I told you to. When someone says that, they don't mean it, you know." I sighed, and finally gave in a little, and brought him into my arms. He struggled a bit, but I held him tight and he finally stopped struggling, relaxing into my arms. I sat down on the couch and propped him against me, so he was sitting on my lap. He looked up at me, gaze still hard but now willing to listen to me.

"I'm deeply sorry I left Percy. I don't think I could ever say sorry enough for that, but what I'm not sorry for is having some time to think. And well, Percy, I'm scared to death. That's why I've been holding back on kissing you." I was well aware of his mom and his stepdad watching our every move. At this point, I didn't care if they overheard or not. I needed to say what I was saying, more than needed it even. "You're the first boy…person…that I've ever thought of having a lasting relationship with. Just the thought of it makes me scared. I've never had a relationship that lasted more than a few days, or heck, even a week. And truth be told, I've never kissed another guy before." I winced at that, remembering my little escapade with Leo not that long ago. On that happy note, I probably still smelled like that dumpster.

"Oh," was all Percy could manage. His eyes narrowed in a thoughtful way, calculating how accurate my story really was. Finally, he smiled, and I mean really smiled, at me. "Well, alright then Jason. But why didn't you just tell me that's why you've been so distant and hesitant?" Good question. One I was now asking myself. "I would've understood. I've never kissed anybody, ever, so…" He trailed off, looking a little troubled.

"Well," I replied, cupping his chin in my hands. "Let's fix that." I moved in closer, and his green eyes widened. I smiled at his reaction. I leaned in, our lips were millimeters apart, and I could feel his heart racing… Just before our lips met, he shoved my face away and leapt from my lap, shooting his parents a look. "Percy?" I asked in a small voice. And I thought I was being disloyal. He wasn't helping the situation any right now.

"I…I panicked," he said, taking a shaky breath. "I don't really want…" He motioned to his parents pretending not to watch at the table. "Them to see my first kiss. Come to bed with me?" I balked. I turned to his mom, and she nodded her consent. I followed behind Percy in a daze. His room was small yet cozy looking. He shed his shorts and climbed into his bed, lazily stretching his arms over his head. "Climb in with me?" he asked around a yawn. Then it hit me; it was late. I was keeping him up. I climbed into his bed and wrapped my arms around him, pulling his close. He yawned again and rested his head on my chest. His breathing even out and in no time he was fast asleep. I smiled and fell asleep with him, content to stay that way for a long time.

…

"Good morning Jason," Percy whispered the next morning. My eyelids fluttered open to reveal his face just inches from mine. When my eyes opened he jerked back and sat down hard on his side of the bed. He gave me a sheepish smile. "Sorry, you startled me," he said. I smiled and brushed my fingers across his cheek.

"It's okay," I replied, stifling a yawn and rubbing the sleep out of my eyes. "Percy, I think we have some unfinished business," I said. He looked at me questioningly. Without another word, I pulled him down and crashed my lips to his.

Yay they did it! That means one more chapter for closure purposes. It took them four chapters and some serious deep thinking to do it. I'm happy for them.
