Summary: Percy's mother died and he would have to stay with his stepfather Gabe. Which was not going to happen, not if he could prevent it. So he tracks down his biological father Poseidon to live with him instead. Poseidon is living with his lover Hades, his own two sons Triton and Tyson from previous relationships and Hades' children Thanatos, Bianca, Nico and Hazel. Aside from grieving his mother's death and recovering from his previous stepfather's abuse, Percy now has to adjust to a new school, new people and a new and complicated family. Suddenly he has not one but two fathers and a whole bunch of siblings. Things get a little weird when he starts developing feelings for the son of his father's boyfriend. But Nico is in a relationship with Jason.
Meet the di Angelos
Percy and his New Normal
Chapter 10: On Horseback and in Water
Breakfast was unusually silent. Triton was simply consuming his coffee, Thanatos had his nose buried in the newspapers, Nico, Jason and Bianca were more or less just poking their food.
"Where's my Percy?", asked Tyson upset and looked around. "Why's everyone so sad...?"
Hades heaved a sigh and pushed his mug away. How was he to explain this to the little one? Not knowing what to say, the family remained silent for a few more moments until the door opened and Hazel and Percy entered. Percy more so walking behind Hazel, his head bowed down.
"Perseus! You're back!", exclaimed Poseidon and stood, relief flooding him.
Hades laid one hand on top of Poseidon's to keep him from downright jumping Percy. Percy had ran away yesterday, not overwhelming him now would be better. That aside, Percy looked upset.
"I'm... sorry for worrying you", whispered Percy softly. "I'm just... I'm not used to having people worry about me. Mom was working so much, she didn't notice when I was gone for a couple of hours or a day. I just... I don't... I don't want to go back to him."
"We know that", said Hades and nodded. "He won't get you back, Percy."
"It's not just that!", stated Percy and looked up at the two adults, tears shining in his eyes. "I don't want to leave. I want to stay with you. I want to stay here. Please don't let them take me away."
This time, not even Hades' tender touch could keep Poseidon. The man rushed over to his son and pulled him into a tight hug. Percy leaned into it, burying his face in his father's chest. Hades stood and walked over to the two, wrapping his arms around them protectively. All too soon, the other Jacksons and di Angelos joined them. Tyson, of course, sneaked in between the taller family members' legs to lay his arms around Percy's legs, snuggling up to him.
"Don't worry, fratellone, papà will fight every dragon that wants to take you", declared Tyson.
"What... is going on?", asked Bianca reluctantly.
"Let's move this to the living room. We do have serious business to discuss", sighed Hades, ushering their children over to the couches. "You all should know what's happening."
Percy came to sit between Poseidon and Nico, with Tyson on his lap, cuddled up to him like an attention-starved puppy. Percy started to caress the little boy's hair. Hades stood in front of them.
"You know that Percy is with us because of his mother's passing", started Hades slowly. "His stepfather... I arranged for him to be arrested for child-abuse. We have proof enough with the testimony of Doctor Solace, former teachers of Percy and a recorded confession from his stepfather. Now he's claiming he had been forced to make that confession and he claims that all injuries came from fights Percy had gotten into at school. Apparently he does have quite a lot of witnesses for such fights and for Percy's... provocative behavior. To strengthen his claim, he wants to keep custody of Percy. If he appears like a caring stepfather, it would make the truth more doubtful."
"That means... he wants to take Percy away from us?", asked Triton with a frown.
"Indeed", nodded Hades, rubbing his face with one hand. "Though since he can't make bail, the judge agreed that for the time of the trial, Percy can indeed stay here with us. As foster parents, for now. And don't be fooled, we will win this. Once Gabriel is behind bars, the matter of his custody-claim will be done and over with too. It's just... going to be a fight. A fight where I wish to keep all of you out of. Still, you should know that it is happening."
"Can't we do anything to help?", asked Thanatos, his arms crossed over his chest.
"I'm afraid not", sighed Hades and shook his head. "We have to trust our DA, which I do. Regardless of how often I stood on the opposite side of her, I know that Nemesis is capable."
"But what if she loses?", whispered Percy, barely audible, eyes downcast.
"Then we will fight tooth and nail to get custody", promised Hades seriously. "You're staying here. You're part of our family now and no one will take you away from here. Not as long as Poseidon and I have any say in the matter and any... means of persuasion left. I firmly believe that even on the low chances of your stepfather getting out of this, that the right amount of money may convince him that he truly doesn't want to have custody over you."
"So in the worst case scenario you're going to buy me?", snorted Percy.
"Yay! Daddy and papà can buy me my own Percy?", asked Tyson giddily. "That's good! Because I don't like sharing my Percy with Nico and Jason all the time! Can I buy Percy? Then he's all mine!"
That helped lightening the mood, making the family laugh softly. Percy leaned down and kissed Tyson's nose. He really didn't want to leave. He... loved them. He loved this family. For the first time in his life, he felt like he had an actual family. Yes, he has had his mother and he would forever love her, but it had only been the two of them and even so, they had cowered in constant fear of Gabe. Now, he was just... happy. He was happy and he felt loved. He never wanted to leave.
"How about we relieve ourselves of those dark thoughts and do something fun?", suggested Poseidon, one arm around Percy's shoulders. "Your arm is better, right? How about we go to our lake and swim some. It's surprisingly warm today. Last chance to catch a tan."
"Can we?", asked Tyson and Percy, sounding equally giddy as they turned begging eyes on him.
"Those two are definitely brothers", chuckled Jason amused.
"Swimming! I'll call Frank and Leo! And the girls!", exclaimed Hazel and rushed out.
/break\
Percy was the last one to approach the lake. Poseidon and Hades were laying on deckchairs, each with a book in their hands. Rachel was sitting at the beach, building a sandcastle with Tyson and Ella. Jason, Nico, Frank, Alabaster, Ethan and Chris were playing water-ball. Reyna, Clarisse, Annabeth, Piper, Bianca and Thalia were sitting together and playing a card-game. Hazel was laying between Leo's legs, a little farther away and out of sight from Hades and Poseidon, heatedly making out with the Latino. Triton and Thanatos were sitting on deckchairs too, discussing something. Percy was feeling self-conscious as he approached them all. It was why he was the last to arrive. He felt uncomfortable, with the scars littering his body.
"Percy!", called Jason out loudly. "Come on in! Where have you been?"
His arms wrapped around his torso, he approached the other boys. They stared. Of course they did. He had a lot of scars, especially so on his back. He shifted some, uncomfortable. Everyone was looking at him, some of their stares practically boring into his very soul.
"You were right, Rachel. He does have a cute bum", commented Piper to break the ice.
The others started snickering and laughing and Percy found himself relaxing a little. Nico walked up to him and laid one arm around his shoulders, guiding him over to them. Percy couldn't help but stare at that olive-skinned six-pack. Swimming sure had an upside. And Nico was so warm and firm, he felt amazing pressed against Percy like that, skin on skin.
"You owe me a race", stated Percy after a moment.
"I suppose I do", agreed Nico with a smirk. "But... it would be more fun with something at stake."
"A little bet?", questioned Percy intrigued. "I'm not sure what I'd have to offer that you'd want."
Nico bit his tongue to keep from saying what exactly he wanted. "If I win, you get to bring Tyson to school for a month. Normally I have to, but that takes away from my special time with Jason..."
"Like you don't get enough of that", snorted Percy and shook his head. "Okay, fine."
"And what do you want if you win?", asked Nico curiously.
"When I win", corrected Percy with a smirk. "And I'll tell you once I win, mh?"
"Fine by me", shrugged Nico. "I'm going to win anyway."
"Boys!", called Clarisse loudly. "Betting pool is over here. Who's in?"
The other boys ran out of the lake to join the girls, all placing their money on one of two piles. Percy had to stare. They were teenagers, but the amount of money on that blanket was more than his mother had made in one month. He liked them, yes, but damn, those were spoiled brats.
"Get ready!", called Jason out. "Ready? Good. Go!"
Everybody had gathered around the lake, watching in utter fascination how the two started their race from one end to the small lake to the other. Poseidon stared amused. Percy was like a fish in water, his movement was so fluent and elegant. And he was fast. He was back at their shore before Nico, pulled into a victorious hug by the other teens who cheered him on. Percy was smiling and blushing as Ethan patted his back and Reyna ruffled his hair and everyone acted as though he had just done something incredible. All his life, the only one who had ever cheered him on had been his mother. Now he had siblings and two parents and apparently also friends.
"Okay, okay, you win", panted Nico as he caught up with them. "Now tell me, what do you want?"
"Nothing", shrugged Percy nonchalantly and walked over to their fathers to sit on a deckchair.
"Nothing?", repeated Nico with a frown. "But we had a bet. You have to want something."
Percy laid down on the chair and closed his eyes as the sun hit his face. "I already have everything I ever wanted. There's nothing else I want, really."
"I found out there's a whole shop dedicated to Doctor Who in London...", drawled Nico.
Percy's eyes were open wide and large as his head snapped over to Nico. "W—What?"
Nico smirked broadly. "I googled it. It's called The Who Shop. I'll take you shopping there when we're in London. My treat. No argument allowed, Percy Jackson."
"Your wallet will suffer", warned Percy amused and stretched some.
Nico couldn't help but watch how Percy's lean body moved. It was captivating. The delicious muscles, the as of yet pale skin, regardless of the scars marring it. He was just too beautiful.
/break\
After a fun late morning with the family and his new friends, Percy took a nice, hot shower. The water in the lake was bitter cold. Once he was nicely warm again, he left his bathroom – he had his own bathroom, still getting used to that. Smiling to himself, he entered his bedroom. He needed to get ready, because Nico had already threatened him with a whole day of learning. Math and literature today, geography and biology tomorrow. And Monday... school. Nico would keep helping him with his grades and Rachel and Piper had promised to help him too yesterday.
"Oh. Uhm, hey dad", greeted Percy surprised when he saw his father sitting on his bed.
"Your conversation with Nico at the lake... it made me think", started Poseidon, looking uncomfortable. "I've tried to find a way to approach this topic for some time now, but you've acted so offensive whenever the topic comes to money. Specifically our family's money."
"Where are you going with this?", asked Percy curiously and sat down next to Poseidon.
"Pocket money. For one", stated Poseidon and handed Percy enough money that would have lasted him to buy food and everything for a month. "Every one of our children gets the same amount of money every month. Well, aside from Tyson. He's still small, so he gets less, but you teenagers all get the same money each month. I know you'll probably see this as too much and as charity of sorts, but you're my son and you will get the same as all our other children. If you feel uncomfortable about it, put it onto your bank account and save up for an apartment or a car when you're older."
"I don't have a bank account", pointed Percy out, staring at the money.
"You do. Hades and I arranged that a few days ago", replied Poseidon. "Which also brings me to my next point. We got you a bank account, here's your credit card. We also got you an account with money for college. Granted, we had started those of the others earlier, but we put as much into it as is in the other accounts right now. Also no arguing allowed. You're my son and I want you to have the same chance at a good college education as all my other children."
"I wasn't going to argue", whispered Percy softly. "I mean, I wouldn't have asked for the money, but Hades already promised me a good education too and I was sort of expecting this conversation. I get that you want to make up for years of birthdays and Christmases missed by trying to give me a secure future and all and I appreciate it. I... Thank you, dad."
Poseidon smiled surprised as he suddenly had both arms full of Percy, hugging him tightly. "And one more thing – don't look at me like that, I swear it's the last thing for today – here. You need a cellphone, because I was worried out of my mind when you ran off yesterday. I understand that this, with so many people, is difficult and new for you and that you may need a moment to yourself every now and then, but... at the very least, send me a text that you're safe and where you are if you do so. And in case something ever happens, you can always call one of us and we will come."
Percy stared at the smartphone in his hand. He more or less knew how those things worked – he had played enough Angry Birds on Bianca's phone while he had been on bed-rest. Opening up the address book, he saw that the numbers of every family member were already saved – Dad, Papà, Papà Work, Thanatos, Triton, Bianca, Nico, Hazel. Percy smiled softly. So many people who cared.
"Okay. That's it. I'm done", sighed Poseidon with a smile of his own. "But Nico and Jason have another surprise for you. After your lessons. No getting distracted, my boy."
Percy nodded hastily, surprising Poseidon by kissing his cheek. "Thanks, dad. Really."
Poseidon smiled fondly as he watched his son running out of the room.
/break\
Jason was laying on his back, playing with Percy's new phone. Math really wasn't his favorite subject, so he let Percy and Nico have it while busying himself with another important task. Saving all the numbers of their friends into Percy's phone. Like his own, Frank's, Leo's, Rachel's...
"I'm kinda surprised you just willingly agreed to it", stated Jason casually, interrupting Nico in the middle of a lecture (which earned him a glare from the Italian). "I mean, Nico told me you have been putting up a fight against the 'fancy' ever since you arrived here."
"That was when I still planned on leaving as soon as possible", shrugged Percy. "If I want to stay here, I guess I need to get used to some of it. I'll never be as much of a spoiled brat as you guys, betting so much money on a simple swim-race, really now. But a phone, yeah, I can see where that may come in handy. I'm a bit bugged by the... pocket money, because it's ridiculously much."
"Enough with the chit-chat! We have work to do!", exclaimed Nico annoyed, snapping the ruler against his hand hard, gaining both their attention. "Behave yourselves, you brats."
"Yes, teacher, sorry, teacher!", yelped Jason and Percy, jumping half a foot high in surprise.
"You better be sorry, or the next time that thing comes down, it'll be on your behinds", threatened Nico, waving the ruler a little as a warning. "Now, who knows what I just said before?"
Percy and Jason were blushing furiously as they stared doe-eyed up at Nico.
/break\
Percy's head was aching horribly as he followed Jason and Nico obediently out of the mansion. The only reason why he hadn't holed up in his bed to rest after this exhausting ordeal of math was because Poseidon had talked about a present for him. They collected the other di Angelos and Jacksons on their way to the back-yard. First his dad, then Bianca, Hazel, Tyson, followed by Triton and Thanatos and in the end even Hades. Whatever it was, everybody seemed to know aside from Percy. They walked farther away from the mansion than Percy had ever been before. While still staying on their grounds. It was a shame, truly, that he had not yet explored his family's home properly. The farther they went, the more curious he grew. A shed? No, a barn. No...
"Stables?", asked Percy dumbfounded. "You have stables on your property?"
"No", replied Poseidon and shook his head. "We have stables on our property, Percy."
Percy flushed and stared. Poseidon smiled and rested one hand on his son's shoulder.
"You need to meet Rainbow! He's all nice and fluffy and sweet and mine!", exclaimed Tyson.
"Who's Rainbow?", asked Percy curiously, smiling at his little brother.
"Rainbow is the pony we bought for Tyson", replied Hades. "Even though Poseidon had been very much against the notion of giving him one, my love soon changed his mind after I bought him a horse. After that, well, Poseidon discovered his love for those big, frightening animals-"
"Hades is afraid of horses. I find that endearing", interrupted Poseidon with a teasing grin.
Hades glared at his boyfriend before continuing. "Tyson, Hazel, Nico and Bianca each own their own horse. Well, Tyson owns a pony because he's too small for a real horse."
"And ponies are more awesome! I wanted a unicorn though... like Twilight Sparkle...", frowned Tyson upset. "But daddy says there are no unicorns in real. So I got Rainbow instead!"
They entered the stables and Percy marveled at the beauties inside. His... siblings took their places aside one horse each. Bianca's was a pretty, peanut-butter colored stallion, Nico's a pitch-black stallion that held storm in his eyes, Hazel's was brown too and looked like a real wild-spirit, while Tyson's was an adorable, little pony, nudging Tyson's head softly. There were two more. A proud, white stallion who just got patted by Poseidon and another stallion, black and handsome.
"This is Pegasus, he's mine", smiled Poseidon, caressing Pegasus' white mane. "Bianca's is named Scipio, Nico's is Tempest, next to Hazel is Arion and Tyson already introduced Rainbow."
"What about you?", asked Percy with a frown, turning to Thanatos and Triton.
"We already graduated by the time dad came up with this and with college, well, we're a little too busy to tend to our own horses. We barely spend more time than sleep and eating here and once we're out of college, we'll also be out of the house. That aside, Thanatos shares papà's fear of horses", answered Triton and laughed a little. "I occasionally borrow Pegasus though."
"A college fund is one thing, a cellphone okay, but I am not accepting a horse! I swear, if I find car-keys in my shoes tomorrow morning, I'll go and live with Leo!", exclaimed Percy.
"I'm sure Leo would like that", laughed Hazel amused. "He really likes you."
"Let me rephrase it then", hummed Poseidon with a mischievous smile. "This is Blackjack. Blackjack had been in a circus before, had been... mistreated badly. Uncontrollable is what they called him at the animal shelter where I found him. If I hadn't bought him, he would have gone to the knacker. But Hades, once he noticed my... obsession with horses, told me I was not to bring every hurt little pony in that I find on the streets. Metaphorically speaking, of course. Never found a pony on the streets before. So I decided to buy him for you. If you don't want him though, I suppose... we will have to bring him to the knacker after all..."
Percy glared at his father. "You are so cheap! H—How am I supposed to say no now?!"
"I believe the whole point of my argument was to make any of your arguments utterly invalid", chimed Poseidon with a broad, pleased grin. "Now, will you keep him or will he go?"
Percy continued to glare daggers at Poseidon before sighing in defeat. "Let's settle on this making up for the sixteen birthdays you missed and never talk about it again. Still, no car. Ever. If I ever want one, I'll buy it from the money I will save up and earn myself. Understood?"
Poseidon chuckled as he climbed onto Pegasus' back. "Absolutely. No car. A yacht perhaps then?"
"Dad!", exclaimed Percy loudly. "Stop it! Now!"
"Okay, okay! Maybe a bike then", teased Poseidon. "Now, will you join me in a ride? I believe you still haven't seen all of di Angelo Manor? You coming too, bambini?"
Hazel, Bianca, Tyson and Nico were fast to climb their horses' backs. Jason followed on Nico's, knowing that Tempest liked him far better than Nico anyway. As he watched his new family all standing there and watching, he felt Hades' hand heavy on his shoulder.
"Go and join them, bambino. Thanatos, Triton and I will prepare dinner", ushered Hades.
Percy's eyes sparkled as he reached his hand out for Blackjack. The stallion who had been bucking up before appeared all calm in the presence of Percy and Hades was startled with how much ease Percy got to sit on the mighty beast. The lawyer smiled fondly as he watched them riding off.
/break\
Riding had been a pain in the ass. Nico didn't like it too much, but he enjoyed riding with his dad and siblings. Dinner had been relatively... eatable. Only relatively though since neither Thanatos, Triton nor Hades were great cooks. All of that after hours of trying to beat math into the thick skulls of Jason and Percy. The Italian deemed it fit that he should be allowed to catch a break. 'A break' meant sitting between Jason's legs and sucking the blonde off like there was no tomorrow.
"Oh fuck, oh fuck, oh fuck", moaned Jason and bucked up into Nico's throat. "M—More..."
Nico smirked and cupped Jason's balls, handling them just the way Jason liked it until the blonde was whimpering in need. Teasing the underside of Jason's cock with his tongue, Nico easily made his boyfriend come. Coughing a little, he managed to catch it all and swallow. He got up and crawled to lay beside his lover, kissing Jason's pulse, which was racing fiercely.
"You know, your cock-sucking skills alone are reason enough to love you, Nico", panted Jason and pulled Nico into a tight embrace, his lips trailing along Nico's collarbone. "I love you."
"I gathered as much", smirked Nico teasingly. "I love you too, Jay. And... thanks. For being so accepting that I spend so much time with Percy. For not being overly jealous."
"Well, it's hard to be angry with Percy. He's adorableness incarnated", huffed Jason with a pout. "You on the other hand, if I catch you being inappropriate with Percy without me, you'll suffer."
"Without you?", repeated Nico amused and laughed.
"I thought that much was obvious", whispered Jason softly, kissing Nico.
/break\
"Hazel's room is farther down the hall. But you should know that."
"Yes, well. I've come to spend some time with you", chuckled Leo amused as he entered Percy's room. "You may believe it or not, but the key to a working threesome-relationship is that you trust each other and that you can also spend some one-on-one time together, without the third party feeling neglected or left out. Right now, Frank and Hazel are on a date together. That's how we often spend our weekends actually. Yesterday was me and Hazel, hence me being on the sleep-over, and tomorrow will be Frank and me. Always sitting on each other is what makes it complicated, always trying to include all three of us. So I thought I'd spend the time getting to know you better."
"Cool", nodded Percy with a grin and scooted over on his bed. "I'm watching Doctor Who. Join?"
"Most important and most obvious question first: Favorite Doctor?", dared Leo impishly.
"Matt Smith", replied Percy without missing a beat.
"Well... I don't think this friendship will work then", frowned Leo and shook his head in mock concern. "Because no one is more awesome than David Tennant. So I should leave."
"Or we watch The Day of the Doctor together?", offered Percy mischievously. "Because what's better than having one Doctor?" Both answered the same moment: "Three Doctors."
"Though thinking like that, we could as well watch Journey's End", mused Leo and sat down next to Percy on the bed. "I know, I know. No Matt Smith for you. But two Davids for me."
Both giggled at that and Percy grabbed the bowl of popcorn to offer it to Leo before pressing play. He found it ridiculous to have a TV in his bedroom, but since he had one, why not use it? The two of them spend the whole night talking about Doctor Who and gossiping together.
Author's note: Next chapter will have Percy's first day at school, getting to know everyone on different grounds. Not everyone is nice though. Tell me, what do you think what kind of extracurricular activity - aside from the swim-team, obviously - should Percy test? I'd imagine him walking in on clubs and sitting through an afternoon with them would be fun, but I can't decide which clubs he should test... Also, more Grover-Percy-bonding, Leo-Percy-bonding and protective!Nico and protective!Jason!
