Meeting Your Other Self
Third World Part 7: With the Couples Shopping and the Ships Racing
Annabeth was having the time of her life. She had a pile of books in a paper bag next to her, one book in her lap, her eyes trained on the lines. The book bag was surrounded by bags of clothes and accessories. It was pretty comfortable on that couch she was sitting on and she got to enjoy her girlfriend's voice. And she wasn't the one getting dressed up like a Barbie for once! As much as Piper loved to claim that she wasn't like other children of Aphrodite, deep down she had always enjoyed dressing others up too. She just didn't like being dressed up herself.
"Please, Percy", whined Piper as she ran after Percy with a blue mini skirt. "Just once!"
"No, you hellish woman!", hissed the Sea Prince, swatting at Piper's hands. "Nico! Help!"
Sighing softly, Annabeth put her book down to look at the other three. She was glad she had put the book down, as she got to see Nico in a long, black dress, staring unimpressed at his boyfriend. Suppressing a giggle (mostly so Piper wouldn't notice her and put her into such a dress too), Annabeth winked at Percy cheekily, the Sea Prince still trying to hide from Piper.
"I have a right to see you in a dress too", grunted Nico annoyed. "Look at me."
"But yours is long!", huffed Percy with a pout. "This is like short!"
"Because you have beautiful legs!", smiled Piper broadly and held the dress up. "Please?"
"Don't look at me, Perce. She used to do that all the time to Leo", grinned Annabeth and waved her book at the boys. "Have fun, Piper. I love you, my dear."
"She's just trying to safe her own skin", grunted Nico annoyed, pulling on his dress.
He watched with hawk eyes how Piper dragged his boyfriend into a cabin. Huffing slightly, Nico sat down next to Annabeth and grabbed one of her books to read. He tried to ignore the stares.
"You're such a pretty girl, Percy!", exclaimed Piper roughly ten minutes later.
"He's my pretty girl", huffed Nico with a pout, his arms crossed over his chest.
His glare melted slightly as the Sea Prince emerged from the cabin, a bright blush covering his cheeks, a blue mini dress only reaching the middle of his thighs, all with lace and silk. He was looking ridiculous, yet still gorgeous and beautiful and Nico wanted to fuck him right now.
"Now go and stand together, I want to take a picture of you two", ordered Piper with a smirk.
"She's evil...", mumbled the flustered Sea Prince as he walked over to his boyfriend.
"I think we'll buy that dress for you", whispered Nico as he pulled his Sea Prince onto his lap.
"Why?", groaned Percy embarrassed. "It's a dress, di Angelo."
"And you're my girl, Jackson", smirked the son of Hades teasingly, kissing Percy.
"That picture is going to get framed", giggled Piper delighted. "Goes right into my collection."
"Collection...?", asked Percy slowly, turning skeptical eyes on his best friend.
Annabeth shrugged in reply and picked her book up again. "Leo wasn't her only victim. In fact, her brother Mitchell is the one who falls victim to his sister most often. She even got Jason once. And Will, much to Jake's delight."
"I'm sure Leo looked adorable in a dress", grinned Percy. "He has that whole shy-thing going on."
"I wonder what he's doing right now...", frowned Piper as she went back to picking clothes.

"Ha—atchu", sneezed Leo and shuddered, wiggling his nose.
"See! I told you you'd get sick from sleeping outside!", growled Hazel annoyed.
"I'm fine! Stop throwing blankets at me!", yelped the Latino, trying to fight his way out from beneath the eight blankets. "Someone was probably just talking about me..."
"Right", snorted Hazel, grabbing Frank's sweater to put it onto Leo. "There you go. Much better."
Leo blushed brightly as he found himself lost in the way too big purple sweater, but this time, he didn't protest. The sweater was smelling like Frank, because it was his, and like Hazel, because she was the last one who had been wearing it, on the party last night. But thanks to his blush, Hazel was all up in his personal space again, pressing her forehead against his with worried eyes.
"You're all red in your face. I'm sure you have a fever! You feel hot", complained Hazel.
"He controls fire. He's feeling as hot as your brother feels cold", mumbled the sleepy voice of Rachel from her bed. "Now give me back my blanket or I foresee a dark future for you, Levesque."
"I second that!", yawned Reyna, waving her hand annoyed. "I want to sleep! Give me my blanket back. Out of everyone on this ship, Leo is the last person to need a blanket at all!"
The Latino pouted slightly at that and handed the praetor her blanket again, burying himself deeper in Frank's sweater. Sitting back down onto Hazel's bed, he tried to be sneaky and sniff the sweater again. Huffing at how stupid he was behaving, he curled himself together on her bed. Frank next to him grunted, his eyes still closed and his breath even. It seemed nothing could wake that guy. As soon as Leo's body hit the mattress, he had Frank's arms around his waist and was being abused as teddy. Sighing, Leo closed his eyes. This felt nice. He knew sleepy Frank was probably mistaking him for Hazel, but it still felt nice.
"Me! Me! Me!", called his own voice loudly through the whole ship.
"I'm here", called Leo back, burying himself under Hazel's pillow.
"Hello, me! And others!", grinned Other Leo broadly as he burst through the door.
"And here I thought one of that kind was bad", groaned Clarisse annoyed, pulling the pillow over her head. "Frank! Hazel! Get those two hyperactive buggers out of here! We want to sleep!"
"Oh! Congratulations, me!", snickered Other Leo as he sat down next to Leo and ruffled his curls. "Looks like you got laid too. Nice one. I knew you had it in you. Do your wrists hurt too?"
"Wrists...?", asked Leo confused and blinked, staring at his other self's hands.
"Are those... rope burns?", wanted Hazel to know, sitting down and taking Other Leo's hands into her lap. "Who did that to you? What happened? Are you alright?"
"Uh...?", blinked Other Leo confused. "You did that. Well, the you from my world anyway. And believe me, I am more than alright. I'm perfect. The world is perfect. And I'm so full of energy!"
"If that is what happens when Leo has sex, can we please keep him a virgin?", yawned Katie.
Their son of Hephaestus yelped and jumped up, his hair smoking. "Shut up! All of you!"
"Hey! Woah, me, calm down!", grinned Other Leo, holding his hands up. "I guess you didn't get laid after all. Poor me, well you. Urgh, headache. Anyway! Get your crew woken up! Perce and I came up with an awesome idea! We should have a race! Argo II against Princess Andromeda II!"
"Oh gods, please... make them stop...", groaned Clarisse, throwing her pillow at him.
"No! That idea is great!", grinned their Leo and straightened. "Wake everyone! We'll have a race!"
/break\
"So... what do you think?", grinned Percy and turned around once.
"Even I would fuck you like that", blinked Piper curiously. "Definitely take."
The son of Poseidon laughed slightly and turned once more, staring into the full length mirror. He was wearing a very tight jeans with very well-placed open cuts, revealing some of those highly praised legs. The shirt he was wearing was an aquamarine blue color, sleeveless and with a turtle neck. A skull was on the front, with some wave motives at the lower end to symbolize pirates. But to Percy, that had a whole different meaning. Grinning slightly, he nodded to himself.
"Ignoring my girlfriend's inappropriate comments", grunted Annabeth with a glare. "I'd say yes too. Those look really nice on you. Okay! That makes three complete outfits for you, Perce. Congratulations, you won't have to wear your boyfriend's clothes anymore."
"Finally!", groaned Percy relieved. "Something that actually fits me."
"I liked you with my shirts on you that slipped off your shoulder. I like your shoulder."
"You have a very weird kink going on there", grunted Piper with one raised eyebrow.
Nico rolled his eyes as he wrapped his arms around Percy's waist. "I like his everything. Including his shoulder. But yes, the space between his neck, his collar bone and his shoulder is kind of hypnotizing to me... I just want to kiss him there and leave a mark..."
"Hush now", hissed Percy, swatting at his boyfriend. "We're in public."
"Let's get going. Nico can pay and we can continue this quest", urged Annabeth on.
The Sea Prince rolled his eyes and went to get changed again. Seeing as Nico was a son of wealth too he had the power to gain the riches of the earth too, in a limited way. He couldn't feel them and control them like his sister, but he still found his way around to them. Percy didn't like that, being indebted to someone. But Nico had argued that he wasn't paying with his own money either. So they had agreed to only buy the necessary things. And the things they really wanted (like Annabeth's books). Just some supplies that may come in handy for whatever was awaiting them.

"Yes! Yes, yes, yes! We're winning!", screamed Leo at the top of his lunges.
He was running over to the rail to stare over at the Princess Andromeda II next to them. They were barely surpassing the other ship, a very grumpy Beckendorf holding the steering wheel, his girlfriend Silena hanging off his arm. Other Leo had ran up to the rail of his own ship and was staring at Leo with a grumpy expression.
"Not yet! We will win!", screamed the alternate Leo loudly.
Shaking his head with a broad grin, Leo turned to look at Jason, who was managing the wheel for him. The others were running around and helping as good as possible to help them. Even though at first they had all been grumpy and tired and hungover, Leo's enthusiasm and happiness were contagious. Still, Frank and Hazel weren't all that happy that the hyperactive firebug was running around on board like that. He was too jumpy and too close to the rail.
"Leo, calm down some", called the daughter of Pluto with a frown.
"What? No! This is way too exciting!", exclaimed Leo, waving his hands.
If only he would have held onto the rail. Because Jason lost control as they hit a harsh wind, the ship shaking hard. Screaming in surprise, Leo got thrust over board, slipping over the rail. The Latino's heart stopped for a second as he stared with wide eyes at the ship from outside.
"Me!", screamed Other Leo, holding tightly to his own rail, looking over it.
This was it. This was the end of Leo Valdez? Not how he had pictured it. He closed his eyes tightly, bracing himself for the following fall and the inevitable impact with the ground. This time there was no Jason to the rescue, he couldn't fly in these other worlds, the winds won't answer his calls.
"No! No, no, no, no, no", gasped Hazel, staring wide-eyed after Leo.
Her nails were digging into the rail, her heart racing a hundred miles an hour. Leo kept getting smaller as he fell deeper and deeper. She couldn't lose Leo. She had lost Sammy. Not Leo. Turning pleading, tear-filled eyes on her boyfriend, she begged him with her eyes to do something. It took the Canadian a moment to get out of his stupor and under the surprised screams of many, he jumped after the Latino. Hazel clasped her hands over her mouth and prayed like never before.
/break\
"Nico? Don't wander off!", called Percy annoyed as he came running toward his boyfriend.
Him, Annabeth and Piper had just entered a store when they had noticed that Nico was missing. The Sea Prince was glaring at his Nico, hitting the Italian upside the head. Then he followed Nico's line of sight. The Ghost Prince was standing in front of a tattoo studio, staring mesmerized at the tattoo artist, who was in the middle of work. At first, Percy glared jealously, but then he noticed that Nico's stare was directed at the tattoo gun, not the chick holding it.
"You want a tattoo, Nick?", whispered Percy with a grin into Nico's ear.
"No", came the fast answer. "I hate needles. I just find body art to be... very beautiful. It's hot."
"Anyway", coughed the son of Poseidon, pushing his boyfriend. "Get going. You don't have clothes yet and Piper deems it your time now. I have something else to get. I'll catch up to you later."
"I won't let you wander around alone", protested Nico.
"I won't be far. You'll be in that big store for a... while anyway", grinned Percy with a wink. "I can protect myself. Come on. I just... I need a little time to myself, okay?"
He turned those big, sea-green eyes on Nico and after everything the son of Hades had promised this morning, he couldn't deny Percy. He didn't want his lover to walk around with a fake smile, but sometimes a person needed some time to themselves, especially after the loaded day they were having. Grunting reluctantly, Nico placed a kiss on Percy's lips and went to follow the girls.
/break\
Leo was sure his life was supposed to end right now. But the impact that followed his fall was by far not as hard as he had pictured it to be. And he didn't feel very dead. A cooing sound was what made him reluctantly open his eyes. What he saw wasn't what he had expected either. Red scales, high horns on either side of him, wide wings behind him. He was sitting on a dragon.
"Oh my gods!", yelped Leo wide-eyed, wrapping his arms around one horn. "H—How? What?"
The dragon cooed and steered upward to emerge between the ships. Many relieved faces stared at him as he sat on the dragon's head. Nyssa was holding onto the rail with one hand and offering the other to Leo, but the Latino was stubbornly clinging onto the horn.
"I don't want to", pouted Leo, rubbing his face against the horn. "It's a dragon!"
"It's my boyfriend", snorted Hazel and made her way over to the dragon's head too. "Scoot."
"Oi! I have an idea!", called Other Leo from the Princess Andromeda II. "I'll race your dragon!"
"That bet is on!", called Leo back, waving one fist in the air. "Frank so will win!"
Dragon-Frank made a huffing sound and Leo imagined the other would currently glare at him if he wouldn't be sitting on the Canadian's head. The Latino was pretty sure that he caught a little fire as he suddenly felt Hazel's arms around his waist. She was holding onto the horn too, sandwiching Leo between her body and the thin, long golden horn of her dragonfied boyfriend.
"I'm not risking you falling off something again", whispered Hazel into his ear.
Her warm breath tickled his neck, he could feel her thighs pushing beneath him so she was closer to the horn, until he was sitting on her lap. Her chin rested on his shoulder, her arms tightly around his waist. Flushing brightly, he rubbed his face against the golden horn.
"Okay! Argo II versus Princess Andromeda II versus Frank the Dragon!", announced Other Leo.
/break\
Three hours. Nico had been tortured for three hours now. Never before had he suffered as much as now at the hands of Piper. She kept throwing black bad boy clothes at him, sending him to get changed, just to change her mind again. At least she obeyed his taste and didn't try to make him wear any colorful or gods forbid cute clothes. Annabeth was nearly through with the first book.
"Where is Percy?", asked the daughter of Athena curiously, putting the book down.
Correction, she was through with the first book. Nico rolled his eyes. At that rate, they should have bought her a full book store. Grunting slightly, Nico pulled on the leather pants.
"He said he wanted to get something... but that was three hours ago", muttered Nico.
"You didn't even ask what he wanted to get? Where he wanted to go?", glared Annabeth irritated.
"I said I wanted some time to myself and my dotting, wonderful boyfriend respected that."
Hopeful night dark eyes turned to look at the grinning Sea Prince. Finally, his salvation. Just as Piper dumped another set of clothes on Nico, Percy walked up to him and grabbed his arm.
"Percy?", frowned Nico confused. "Where are your bags? I thought you needed to get something..."
"Come on, let me help you with those", grinned Percy, pulling Nico into a cabin stall.
"No sex!", hissed Piper as Percy closed the door. "Damn perverts!"
"We're not going to have sex!", hissed the son of Poseidon back and rolled his eyes.
"Not?", asked Nico with his best kicked puppy eyes. "Then why are you getting undressed?"
Percy smirked at him dark-eyed as he grabbed his blue long-sleeved turtle neck shirt and slowly pulled it off over his head. Suddenly, Nico's mouth went very dry as he stared at his Sea Prince's body. Blue tribal minimalistic waves were tangling up Percy's right arm, starting small at his middle finger, wandering up the whole arm, over his shoulder and collar bone, down his chest on the right side until they became smaller again and disappeared beneath Percy's jeans in a splash of waves. A teasing grin was laying on Percy's face as he turned some, showing his right shoulder, where the tribal formed a stylized skull. Nico growled, his eyes dark as he pressed Percy against the door of the cabin, attaching his lips to the blue-inked neck. His Sea Prince hissed and pushed him off.
"Healing powers of the sea, yeah. But even after three bottles of water, the skin is still a little sensitive", mumbled Percy and blushed brightly. "So... you like it...?"
"You... didn't do that for me, did you?", grunted Nico skeptically, backing off some. "I mean, because I said that I love that part between your shoulder and your neck. And the skull."
"Yes. No. Not really. Maybe a bit", shrugged Percy and wrapped his arms around Nico's neck to play with the hair at the base of the Ghost Prince's head. "I got it at that place because of what you said earlier. And I got the skull because it reminds me of you. I just... even if I'll die during the war, I want people to see that I belong to you. Even if I'm in the underworld, waiting for you, I want a reminder that you're mine. A—And if I... lose you, I want to know that you're always a part of me."
"So you did get the tattoo because of me", mumbled Nico against Percy's lips.
"Truth be told, I always wanted a tattoo", grinned Percy and shrugged, before frowning slightly. "It just... Smelly Gabe used to say that only tramps and whores have tattoos. So I buried that idea in the deepest corner of my mind. But when we were passing that store, I had to think of it again and I thought fuck you, Gabe. If I want a tattoo, I can get a tattoo. Right?"
"Right", smiled Nico softly, kissing his boyfriend and wrapping his arms around Percy's waist.
"You know I can feel your dick pressing against my thigh, right?", laughed Percy amused.
"I said no sex!", called Piper from outside, obviously annoyed.
/break\
"And the winner is: Frank!", grinned Leo as the dragon landed back in New Rome.
He just turned around, wanting to ask Hazel to let go of him so they could climb down, but he had no chance to do so, because that was the moment Frank turned back to human. While Hazel landed on her feet quite elegantly, Leo found himself falling once again. This time however he got caught by a very human Frank. The Canadian raised one amused eyebrow at Leo's frightened expression.
"What? You didn't think I'd let you fall, did you?", huffed the son of Mars offended.
"Come on, let's rest up before the others come", ordered Hazel, grabbing Frank's shirt sleeve.
"Can you put me down first, Frank?", asked the flustered Latino.
"No", replied the couple at once, grinning at the son of Hephaestus teasingly.
Author's note: An illustration of Percy's tattoo is already in my sketch book. It just needs to find its way to deviantart. Then I'll post a link. ;)
Next chapter will already be the parting from this world, revealing what Leo has learned and who will get thrown overboard next!
