I've written the next load of chapters, so this story should be finished by September.
Have a great day (It's 00:21...)
Fez.
A day later, and Percy hadn't come out of his cabin. Jason was feeling more and more guilty with every hour that passed.
Checking he had the gift he had brought for Percy, he gave waiting and ran from the Zeus cabin to the Demeter cabin, trying not to look at the Poseidon cabin with its closed blinds and shut door.
"Katie?" He called, walking through the door. It was empty, most campers in activities.
Katie waved through the open French doors, her hands covered in soil and her hair was pulled up in a red scarf.
"Hey."
"Jason!" She greeted warmly, running her hands under a tap in the wall. Jason walked out and looked at the small garden, full of colours and herbs.
"Do you have any roses?" He asked.
"What colour?" She grinned, pointing towards a corner of the garden, where multi-coloured roses grew in neat bushes.
"Blue?"
"For Percy, right?" Jason winced, they were, of course, but she probably could've been a bit more subtle.
"Yeah?" Katie laughed as she cut a few of the biggest blooms off.
"Heard what happened. It's okay. He won't blame you for it."
Jason could only nod as she tied the flowers together and handed them to him.
"These won't wilt for about three months. That will be ten drachmas." She smiled. Jason stared at her.
"What?" He blinked dumbly.
Katie laughed, more of a cackle and shook her head.
"It's free, don't worry. And remember to apologise."
Jason nodded and ran back through the Demeter cabin, clutching the stems.
Sprinting towards to the Poseidon cabin, three campers leaped out of his way, including Leo who whispered 'Meep meep' as he raced past.
Jason smashed his fist against the wooden door, knocking repeatedly.
Percy peered out, dark circles under his eyes, but otherwise looking okay.
"Bro. I am so sorry."
He was holding the roses behind his back and when Percy didn't slam the door in his face, he slowly brought them out.
"Bro, I got you some broses." He said, looking carefully at Percy's face as he gazed at the blue roses.
"Bro, you read my mind." Percy's lips flickered up in a smile. He reached to the windowsill next to the door and pulled out a bunch of daffodils, tied with a length of string.
"I got you some daffodudes." he grinned properly, the smart-ass Percy coming back.
He stepped back and Jason walked in. The bed was unmade, and Annabeth was curled up in an armchair that had been pulled next to the bed, reading.
She glanced up at the two boys, holding the flowers and smiled gently.
"I'm being chucked out, right? I'm expecting flowers too!" She joked, closing her book, 'I'll Give You The Sun' and walked to the door, looking into Percy's eyes for a long second, then turning her grey eyes to Jason. He bit his lip nervously, and she smiled again, her eyes saying 'You're forgiven' clearly.
She walked out after placing a kiss on Percy's cheek, who blushed.
"I also got you a gift." Jason said as he perched on the edge of Percy's bed, looking up at the dark-haired boy, sitting in the armchair.
"What for? If it's for yesterday, I over-reacted-"
"And I blatantly named one of your triggers. Anyway, it's for our bronniersary in a few weeks." Jason interrupted, holding out a small rectangular box to Percy.
Percy opened the box, to reveal two silver anchors on a leather cord.
"Anchors?" Percy frowned, glancing up at Jason, who couldn't help grinning.
"So our broship won't float away." Jason leaned forward and placed his hands on Percy's shoulder, looking into his eyes, that were glimmering with tears. Percy clutched his chest.
"...Bro, that's beautiful."
