A/N: A thank you to all those that review! Again, this was typed on my Iphone, so I'm sorry if there are mistakes!
Uh, kind of, sort of, (not really) based off of a FRIENDS episode, you'll probably figure out which one right away. ;)
Just a quick note: no one is together (at first) in this one!
Enjoy! :)
Jason's POV
A question. It all started with a stupid question. Why, out of everyone at the table, did HE have to answer it? No one else did! His life was ruined, there was no question about it. It's thanks to that stupid question he was stuck hiding in his cabin from- him. Damn it, why him? Why couldn't someone else have answered that stupid question and be hiding and NOT crying instead of him? It wasn't fair! It just... wasn't fair.
Earlier that day...
Mondays. Who liked them? Jason could only think of two people. Annabeth, and Chiron. He was sure that Mr. D wasn't a Monday or morning person in general. Jason groaned as he buried his face in his pillow. It couldn't be morning. Not yet! Fifteen more minutes... Then his alarm made that annoying sound. Jason huffed and made himself look at the clock. It HAD been fifteen minutes. Heck, it had been thirty minutes. "Crap!" said Jason. He was going to be late! Man he hated Mondays! He got out of bed and took a quick shower, and got ready for the day. Those kids weren't going to teach themselves how to use a sword. Hm actually, they could, but he didn't think it'd go over very well. Plus Jason would disappoint the big guy and he'd probably lose his job. Jason sighed as he walked out of his cabin. His stomach growled. Sadly, he over slept and missed breakfast. No food until lunch. Crap. Did he mention that he hated Mondays?
After teaching kids how to hold swords properly and how to swing, it was finally lunch time! Those lessons really took longer than they should have. Jason hated it when he missed a meal. He was always starving by the next meal. If he didn't get food, he was sure that he'd pass out before it was time for dinner. He walked to the tables and grabbed a load of food.
"You know, for someone who missed breakfast, you're quite nimble." said a voice. Jason turned to look at Percy. Behind him came Leo, Piper, Annabeth- well, basically the rest of the gang. Jason chuckled as they sat down. "Is that a compliment?" said Jason. He went back to stuffing his face with food.
"Ha, you wish Grace." said Percy. The two were always competitive. Jason swallowed.
"I'm pretty sure that was a compliment-"
"Guys, come on. Get a room." teased Leo. Jason and Percy rolled their eyes. They were all quiet until Piper spoke up. "So... Guys," she said while sneaking glances with the girls. What was that about? "If you were gay, which guy of this group would you... You know? Oh, and Nico if you were straight which one of us girls would you... You know?" Nico smirked and chuckled.
"Nope, not answering that." he said. That was probably the smart idea. Leo looked at Piper. "Where's this coming from?" he asked with a laugh.
"All of us girls answered it, come on guys, don't be chicken. It's just for fun." said Piper.
"Maybe if we heard your answers first..." said Percy. Piper scoffed.
"Babies." she said. She then got a quick approval from the girls to spill their answers. "Okay. Well, I chose Annabeth, she chose Reyna, Hazel chose me, and Reyna chose Hazel. It all worked out. We talked over an Iris. Now it's your turn, come on, spill it!" said Piper. The guys sighed.
"Well," Percy leaned in, "if you really wanna know- no one." He was soon answered with a chorus of 'no one's.' Piper huffed like a little kid and crossed her arms.
"Percy." Jason said quietly. Jason could feel his face become red. What? All eyes were on him. "No one!" he said a little too quickly. Piper gleamed at him. Oh gods no. Don't squeal Piper! "N-no one." Jason said again, though with a stutter. Nico gave him a weird look. Oh gods no! "So you would-" he began.
"NO, because I-I said no one." said Jason. Oh gods why? Why'd it have to be him? Would they stop staring at him?! Kelp head especially! Jason was suddenly not very hungry. For Jason the silence was immensely awkward. He didn't dare look anyone in the eye. Why? Why him! "Dude you said Percy-"said Leo.
"No one! I s-said n-no one!"said Jason. Piper said it was just for fun, so why were they all acting like this was the most weird yet interesting thing on the planet?! Suddenly lunch was over. Thank gosh for that! It was a good thing that Jason only had classes to teach in the morning. He headed straight for his cabin, abandoning his food in the process.
Percy's POV
Percy stared at the blond Roman demigod. He wasn't sure how to react to the situation. Should he be weirded out, or happy? Percy suddenly felt eyes on him. He turned to se Piper smiling at him. "What?" he asked. Although, he was a little bit worried about her answer. Piper giggled. Percy suddenly felt nervous. Piper glanced at the retreating demigod, then looked at Percy. "I think you know what." she said in a sing-song voice. Percy could feel his own face turn red. "You're happy he picked you!" Piper said quietly. The two started to clean up the table.
"What? Why would I be-"
"Percy! Come on! You know lying won't work on me." Piper said happily. Percy's face felt like it was on fire. Piper giggled. "You're blushing!" she said quietly. Percy sighed deeply.
"It- it's not like it meant anything. Besides, the guy left as though Leo had accidentally set the table on fire again." he said. Piper frowned.
"You really don't believe it could-"
"No. Why would it? He's Jason. He's..." No words came. Piper smiled softly at him. "Piper uh, could you n-not tell anyone about this? I-I'm still trying to figure things out." said Percy. Piper only smiled.
"Of course I won't. But you know, I don't think you have much to figure out, or be afraid of as you think." she said with a wink. Then she left Percy alone with his thoughts.
Jason's POV
Jason splashed water on his face to cool off. He couldn't stop thinking about what happened at the table. Why Percy? Why did he even say it? It's not as though he's thought about it. Sure, maybe Kelp Head crossed his mind more than once, but that didn't mean anything. Jason lied down on his bed. So why did he get all embarrassed when he said his name? Why did it even matter? It's not like he was serious. Then why did he keep thinking about it?!
Jason sighed. He should take his mind off of it. Maybe a little sword practice? Yeah, that should do it. Jason headed towards the area. He practiced a few moves for about an hour then took a break.
"Need a partner?" Jason whipped his head around to see the very person he'd been avoiding: Percy. The Fates hated him, didn't they? Jason shifted about awkwardly. But he cursed himself for being a nice guy that had trouble saying no. "Uh, s-sure." he said. He cursed his stutter as well. Percy brought out Riptide and the two got ready.
"Uh, look, about what happened earlier-" started Percy. Their swords clashed together.
"Oh, uh, y-you don't have to say anything. It's okay." Jason said quickly. He would prefer that they didn't mention it. Ever. That of course, didn't happen because the Fates hated him. Again their swords rang throughout the area. Jason was just pleased to see that they were the only ones there. "Jason, you don't have to feel embarrassed or anything. It was just one of those things that Piper came up with to try and spike something. I mean, you saw how grumpy she looked when the rest of us didn't say anything." said Percy. Jason hoped that Percy would assume that the redness in his face was from this training. He wasn't sure how to respond to Percy's statement.
He had to admit- he was getting a little bit distracted. He couldn't help but notice how great Percy looked. The way he moved just mesmerized him. It was like he was dancing. Alright, it was a little clumsy, but that didn't mean it didn't look good. Suddenly Jason found himself pinned against the nearest tree. It looked like he lost their little sparring match. Percy had his sword fairly close to his neck, and their faces were just about an inch apart. Jason was frozen. All he could do was stare back at the sea-green eyes that just entranced him. He didn't know what came over him.
Jason kissed Percy on the cheek.
Both of their faces became bright red and Percy backed up a couple of steps. "U-uh, I'm sorry! I don't know- I just- I'm sorry!" Jason stumbled about on both his words, and feet. He just wanted to crawl into a dark hole and never come out! "T-that was stupid, I uh- I just- I gotta go!" With that, Jason made a break for his cabin. He was never coming out for the rest of the day. He had to avoid Percy. Considering that camp wasn't a fairly big place, this was the only way.
Percy's POV
Gods Percy felt like an idiot. His secret wish had come true, and he just made Jason feel like the biggest loser on the planet! Suddenly he felt a slap against his head. He looked to see a very angry Piper. Leo and Nico were also there, and they too looked just as angry. He had a feeling that Aphrodite would look the same. Percy had just messed up bit time. "You idiot!" Piper said angrily.
"Why did you just stand there? It's obvious that you like him!" Leo said loudly. Now Percy was very thankful that they were the only ones in the area. Percy began to blush. "I-I..." he stuttered. Was it really that obvious? "Percy! If I know Jason, he's probably in his cabin so for the love of Aphrodite go after him!" Nico shouted. As surprising as that was , (Nico was usually very quiet,) Percy snapped out of it. He had to go to him! He had to tell him how he felt. With a nod, Percy ran like the wind (A/N: haha wind.) all the way to his crush's cabin.
Jason's POV
A question. It all started with a stupid question. Why, out of everyone at the table, did HE have to answer it? No one else did! His life was ruined, there was no question about it. It's thanks to that stupid question he was stuck hiding in his cabin from- him. Damn it, why him? Why couldn't someone else have answered that stupid question and be hiding and NOT crying instead of him? It wasn't fair! It just... wasn't fair.
Damn it, he was starting to break down. He collapsed on his bed. He buried his face in his pillow and let the tears fall. Why did he have to be such a big baby when it came to his feelings? Jason had never felt so vulnerable and insecure in his life.
Knock, knock!
Gods. It was probably Percy at the door. Knock, knock, knock! Jason just wanted it to stop! He wanted him to go away! Knock, knock. There was a pause. He heard a light tap against the door as if someone had leaned against it. It was probably Percy. "J-Jason please?" It was Percy. His voice was shaky. But Jason didn't move. He didn't want to. "Jason please I need to talk to you!" said Percy.
Percy's POV
Percy didn't trust his voice, but he had to speak. But he was getting no answer from Jason. He felt like collapsing. He rested his forehead against the door. "J-Jason please?" he said. No answer. He felt his eyes start to water up. "Jason please I need to talk to you!"
He heard a sigh from behind him. He turned to see Nico. "Let me talk to him." he said. Percy swallowed back tears and nodded. He shakily sat down on the steps as Nico simply walked into the cabin.
Jason's POV
Gods couldn't Percy catch a hint? He didn't have his permission to barge in! "Jason." Oh. It was Nico. He supposed... that was alright then. Jason didn't look at him though. Not after he'd been crying. "Jason, since you helped me with my Percy issue, I'm going to help you with yours." said Nico. Percy issue? If he didn't feel so lousy, Jason would have laughed at that. "What issue?" he asked. He figured that Nico didn't know what had happened. Boy was he wrong.
"I uh, saw what happened. You know, the uh, kiss?" Nico said awkwardly. Jason groaned. Great. If Nico saw, then who else did? He finally lifted his head. "Man. You look awful." commented Nico. Jason snorted.
"Thanks for the help." he said sarcastically. Nico smirked. "Nico I don't think I can face him. I don't know what to do."sighed Jason. His voice cracked from crying. This time Nico sighed. "Honestly? I think that's the only thing you can do. Talk to him Jason. I don't think it will go down as badly as you fear it will." At this, Jason looked at him. Then sighed. Damn it, he knew Nico was right. "Fine." he sighed. Nico nodded and went to the door. He let Percy in as Jason sat up. Jason avoided eye contact with Percy.
"Uh, hey." said Percy. Boy was this awkward. But that wasn't the worst part. Percy decided to sit down right beside him. He was so close that their bodies were slightly touching. That just made Jason blush. "Uh, alright, look. Um, I know I was a jerk back there a-and, I'm sorry. I-I was just surprised, a-and I didn't think y-you and I-I would ever- ever happen." At this Jason looked at Percy. He was surprised to see that he was blushing just as much as he was. Did... Did that mean what he thought it meant? "I- what I'm t-trying to- to say is that um- I-"
Jason smiled. He grabbed Percy by his shirt collar and kissed him. This time- on the lips. He deepened the kiss after a couple of seconds, and Percy moaned. Jason had never felt happier!
"I KNEW IT! I knew Percy had a thing for Jason! Ha! Pay up Connor!" someone shouted. Someone else groaned. The two boys parted and Jason opened the nearest window. "Get lost Stolls! And don't make bets on my boyfriend!" shouted Jason. Percy blushed, and smiled. They heard the twins scamper off to only the gods know where. "Man, those guys are everywhere." laughed Jason. Percy laughed as well and took his hand in his. "So... boyfriend?" he said. Jason smiled.
"Well... Yeah, you know if you-" he was interrupted by a kiss.
Nico's POV
"Eeeep! I knew it would work! Pay up!" Piper said enthusiastically. The guys (minus Nico who had taken the girl's side,) sighed and dug into their pockets. "Never doubt a child of Aphrodite guys." said Nico. Leo rolled his eyes.
"Whatever." he said and handed Nico his money.
"Hm. What would their couple name be?" asked Hazel.
"Jercy! Nah, that sounds like jerk. Um, Person? Nope, already a word, oh! Guys! It's Jacy!" squeaked Piper. The others agreed on that one.
"Okay for real guys, if you were gay, who would you?" asked Piper. They sighed again. Once again, Piper got 'no one' as a response from all except-
"Nico- NO ONE!" Leo said loudly. Piper smiled brightly. Leo and Nico began to blush. The girls, (minus Piper who was squealing,) face-palmed in the background.
"Hm. Leico? Nah that's stupid." said Travis. Connor snapped his fingers. "Valdangelo." he said. Said boys blushed more. Piper shook her head. "No, no, no, no! Guys, guys it's Ghostfire!" she said excitedly. Leo and Nico groaned as everyone laughed and agreed. Oh boy.
A/N: Lol, there it is! :)
R & R please! If you suggest a couple, I may just write about it! :D
