Weird Luck Charm
(PJO x KHR Crossover)
"Because My Luck has Three Mode: Normal Mode which is rarely happens, God Mode which is only during Gambling, and WTF mode which is, sadly, the default mode"—Percy Jackson nee Sawada Tsunayoshi di Vongola
If someone had to describe a raven-haired, sea green-eyed boy named Percy Jackson, all of them without fail would choose a particular world.
Eccentric.
Not weird, only eccentric. For Percy seems to likes to defy all pre-pubescent teenager stereotypes. And for all of shenanigans and crazy things he gotten into every year without fail.
Fact 1) He had ADHD and Dyslexia. Okay. This one is no big deal. His ADHD is rather tame compares to some other kids people could named of, and his Dyslexia is partial and only acted up when meet with certain long and "difficult" words or those written in light color... the teachers could do without knowing his colorful vocabulary, though. Dear God, the mental image alone...
Fact 2) He's more mature than kids on his ages. Had he been taller, people would mistaken him as middle schooler of rather short high schooler. His temper is more of ocean's tranquil instead volcano explosion. Calm and misleading... but utterly terrifying to the point a gang in New York is openly terrified of him.
(No one knows what happens. No. Fucking. One. The Gang is total mess and would curled into fetal position whenever word "Percy" and "Jackson" uttered in same sentence. And Percy is surprisingly tight-lipped about the incident, and would direct the topic elsewhere. Surprisingly, it worked. Swiftly. Must be ADHD thing...)
Fact 3) He changed school every year, every grade. When he enrolled into Yancy Academy as his sixth grades, it was also his sixth school in six years straight. For some weird reasons, despite being almost normal student all year round, whenever it comes to Field Trip, an utterly, totally, absolutely weird things will happens and Percy will be at center of it. So much that both the School, Percy's mother, and Percy himself seriously contemplating whether he can sit out of Field Trip just to see what will happens.
Fact 4) He seems to be able to read people's mind. It's really creepy and made him alienated from his peers. His step-father hated his presence for that, but Percy is fine with that. Very fine.
(No. It wasn't written in sarcasm. I'm serious. What made you think it was a sarcasm? Percy hated Smelly-Gabe dammit!)
Fact 5) He likes blue and orange. And number 27 or 72. Whatever he had, whether it shoe, clothes, bag, notebooks, or pen, would either have one of those. And he often had blue food (how did he made it and why it was so damn good?). at least he has some sense of art and the food is edible (damn delicious)
Fact 6) He can swim better than anyone, never bothered by rain or cold shower, wake up obscenely early to do warm ups which is push up and sit up 50x each before do stretches. And he said if he didn't do it someone will shoot him. (Some people with sharp ear catch word "Baby in Fedora" "Green Chameleon" and "Spartan" and assume he just watch a mafia film and having bad dream about it.)
Finally, Fact 7) The fact only known to Perseus "Percy" Jackson only... and whoever in charge of reincarnation.
Yes. You read it right. Reincarnation. He was not just Perseus Jackson, son of Sally Jackson and unknown father. He is an old soul. And whoever run the reincarnation system must be botched the system since it allows him to keep his memories... or it was his past self's affinity which is way too strong.
He once known as Sawada Tsunayoshi di Vongola or Giotto II. Decimo of Mafia-turned-partial Vigilantes group, Vongola, which happens to be biggest Mafia famiglia in Italy in his old world. Student of That World's Greatest Hitman, Renato Sinclair, who was commonly known as Sun Arcobaleno Reborn. World's Number One Sadistic Spartan Teacher and Top Three Biggest Troll in Mafia.
(He ask Fuuta to do the ranking. Really.)
Well... the good thing come out from that is Tsuna, or rather now Percy, is perfectly immune to chaos and craziness that seems to content following him around... even if he did get exasperated sometimes. Examples...
Exhibit A: Sometimes during Poker with Chiron, Mr. D, and Grover
"You're rather calm about this all, Percy." Commented Mr. Brun—eh, Chiron.
Percy shrugged and discard one card from his hand. "Mom's alive and well... or as well as she can be with Smelly Gabe around. I've been worse than this. Way, way worse."
Because finding out his biological Father is a Greek God and the Greek myth he learn in Latin Class is more or less true is merely a "meh" compare to Future-that-Never-Was fiasco. At least compare to bakamitsu, this one had legitimate reason to never marry his mom and never been around.
Humans who've gained a God/Goddess affection rarely have happy ending... unless they are the likes of Psyche and Adriadne.
And the fact Mr. D made glass of wine—before turning it into Diet Coke—was not even worth raised eyebrow. Mukuro made crazier thing even when he's lucid. When he was drunk and high on painkiller after Chrome broke his arm in three places during their first child's childbirth?
He had to employee Takeshi, Squalo, Colonello, Lal, Basil and basically all Rain in vicinity just to made the Mist stop.
"I believe I win." Mr. D finally said.
"Not quite Mr. D." Chiron showed them his cards. "I believe this round goes to me."
Percy looked at the cards and said out loud, "oops" it draws attentions at him as he revealed his card.
Royal. Straight. Flush.
"...whoever in charge of luck must be either hated and loved me, or overcompensates bad luck which sadly, I found often." Is all he can said as Chiron and Grover gaped at him, while Mr. D fumed in rage.
Percy did get stink eye from him for days, which is, nothing new. Just... made him wary.
Exhibit B: Day Four, Nighttime
"GAH!"
The whole Hermes Cabin is treated to rare, amusing, and slight terrifying sight that night.
It started with Percy, the newest addition to their cabin, had finally crashing down after today's training. So far he's been making things difficult for others to decide who was his godly parents.
He's kind and gentle and mature. He emitted feelings of acceptance and only exasperation when dealing with some remarks and prank. The kind you got from an older brother. He also rather good in running and parkour. His wrestling style is weird but effective and Clarisse la Rue had nothing but begrudging praise for that. His sword skill need helps. And his archery skill suck. Big time.
They still haven't got the image how Percy bowed ninety degree to Chiron and Apollo kids while apologizing, repeatedly, out from their heads. Or the fact he personally goes fishing and foraging and making apology dishes for them.
His dyslexia and ADHD is rather tame. And he's quite smart.
They think he is Athena's kid, until he said his Mother, his birth mother, is alive and working in NY with his nothing but waste of space lazy bum who should DIE leeching off of her. Meaning, it was his father who is God, make all Goddesses are crossed from the list.
Aside from Archery, they haven't see his weak side, so the Stolls sibling decide to play pranks on him. Nighttime prank.
They kneeling beside Percy, tickling him with one of their inventions, which made the ravenette wriggling like a worm. They also drawing things on his face use (at Luke's insistence) non-permanent marker. It was rather amusing. Finally, for one last touch, they donned a rather scary mask they got from their older brother who was in university, and wake him up.
"Peeeeeeerrrrrcccyyyyyy..." they mock-whispered in attempt of mimicking ghost-voice they saw on tv few years back. "Waaaaaakkkkeeeee uuuuuppppp..."
Percy did open his eyes and saw pair of scary-looking face just an inch from his face. His reaction?
He swept both siblings off their feet using some swift movement, which is the reason why they yelped, pulled a sheet from nearby bed, hogtied them, stares at them with a completely unamused look, and return to sleep.
Complete with snoring.
Totally ignores the incredulous look he gained from everyone. Though some were snickering. Now that's a reaction.
By the next morning, when he woke up, he blinked seeing Stolls are tied a la Thanksgiving Turkey next to him.
"Uhh... what happens to you guys?" He ask, untying the tie.
His question made the whole Cabin paused from whatever they are doing, and stared at him wide eyes.
"...you... don't remember?" Chris gaped.
"Remember what?"
Silence. Pure, utter silence.
Percy's sheepish, confused look did match with the markings to made funny face... had everyone did not witness how he easily and almost effortlessly swipe the Stolls off of their feet and hogtie them ala Turkey for Thanksgiving Day. And he did NOT remember any of it? That means...
...gulp...
He do it while still sleeping...?
"...guys?"
Exhibit C: Underworld, Hades' Castle
Hades stared at his nephew. "Are you trying to amused me in bids of making your death less painful, halfling?" He stated.
Because goddamn it all if that troublesome brat did not just entering this room while riding Cerberus with his friends. And how did he pull that off?! Cerberus did not rips him a new one, literally, was one thing since that guy is total lap dog at heart despite his appearance and role. But to be a mount and leaving his post? That, was not something even he see on daily basis.
He can see his other workers peering in from outside. Heck. He practically can see question marks floating around and the skull face actually adopted confused and utterly baffled looks.
He can't blame them. Honest.
On unrelated note, Hermes will bust gut if he see this.
This spawn of Poseidon actually had nerves to made that face. "Do you want the long explanation or the short, simple one?" He ask. "Personally I prefer the later since we all are on borrowed time."
"Don't speak like me, Legacy of Eris!" He snapped, before clamped his mouth shut.
Oops?
Perseus Jackson blinked. "Eris? That Goddess of Chaos, Strife, and Discord? That Eris?" then an odd look crossed his face. "I... find it highly ironic yet it does explain things that happens in my life."
"...what do you means?"
"...if Tyche didn't somewhat both cursed and blessed me, then Bad Luck and Chaos must be adopt me as their mother. They already following me around like duckling to its mother, for God's sake!"
That... made sense. In a way.
