author's note: this was totally inspired by rick's tweet about percy's taste in music. sorry for the short length!
"Seriously?" Percy still can't believe it.
Alex is starting to get flustered as he mutters, "I practically grew up in camp, Percy. I didn't have much time to get into music."
"Yeah, but… it's music."
"I had other interests, okay?"
Percy gets off the bed and gathers her hair into a ponytail, processing this new information. "But… no favorite bands? Really? Not even, like, an album you like jamming out to?"
Her boyfriend fiddles with the sheets. "I like those classical music playlists on Youtube for studying."
"Oh my gods. That so does not count, Alex," she says in horror. People actually listen to those?
"Hey, it's music, isn't it? Can we get back to the other thing we were doing? That was a lot more fun."
Percy inhales deeply and shakes her head. "Rain check on that. Today, we're teaching you about the wonders of classic rock. Lemme just grab my CDs—" she roots through the pile of tossed-aside clothes and crumpled worksheets on the floor— "and we'll get started."
Alex smiles, sitting with his legs hanging off the side of the bed. "This is going to take a while, I'm guessing."
"Uh, faster than you can say 'Led Zeppelin's entire discography'."
