A/N: I decided to finish this chapter instead of doing things for work…which means I'm probably really behind. That's why I post a new chapter every two days...I'm such a procrastinator when it comes to work things. Oh well, this was much more fun to write! I wish I could do this for a living, but sadly, I can't. I have to pay the bills somehow (for those of you who don't pay bills yet, ENJOY IT while it lasts lol).
Anyways, enjoy chapter 11! A lot of you requested this, so I hope you like it :-D
Sunburn
Chapter 11
Apollo didn't show up at camp for two nights in a row, which left Percy in an extremely foul mood. He felt angry and guilty about what had happened between him and the sun god. Plus, he was sleep deprived, which didn't help his mood either. Since the fight Percy had slept a total of about four hours. He was short with everyone, snapping at even the most basic comments. Though that didn't compare to what happened during sparring matches. Percy sent three of the Ares campers to the infirmary with a broken arm, a sprained ankle, and a cracked rib. He left various other injuries on quite a few of the other campers as well.
Yeah, it was obvious to everyone that the son of Poseidon was not happy.
What made things worse was the fact that besides being angry with Apollo, Percy missed him. It had been a little less than three days, and Percy found himself missing Apollo like he hadn't seen him in weeks.
After dinner, Annabeth and Rachel managed to catch up with Percy before he went into his cabin. He was definitely not in the mood for the two girls. Ever since he had told them about Apollo they were more nosey than usual and he didn't want to talk to them about anything at the moment.
"Why are you being so bitchy?" asked Rachel, despite Percy's warning that he wanted to be left alone.
"Could you two please leave me alone for more than a few minutes? The past two weeks you guys have been bugging the shit out of me ," Percy said bitterly, wanting nothing more than to be left alone.
"Well excuse us for being concerned for your well being," said Annabeth angrily. "Gods, Percy, you've been so angry the past two days. What is wrong with you?"
Rachel sighed, "Lovers' quarrel?"
"Look, that's really none of your business. Could you two just please leave me alone?" Percy said irritably. He didn't even wait for an answer; instead he opted to march straight into his cabin and shut the door in their faces. He could hear angry protests from both girls outside his door, but he frankly didn't care (even when Annabeth called him something not so nice in ancient Greek).
Percy took Riptide out of his pocket and slapped the weapon angrily on his dresser. He changed out of his sweaty clothes, feeling somewhat better when the soiled clothes were removed. But the feeling didn't last long. His mood soured again, his body feeling so drained from both emotional and physical fatigue. Clad in only his boxers, Percy turned and landed on his back on his bed. After only a few moments of lying there, Percy's eye lids felt like they weighed a ton. He maneuvered under the covers, wrapping himself up in the soft comforter. Even though his mind was racing, he found himself drifting into a much needed sleep.
Apollo felt like the biggest jerk alive. Yes, Percy had said some pretty nasty this to him, but seeing the heart broken look on Percy's face had been like a knife in his gut. He had hurt Percy badly, something he had no intention to do. Percy had said plenty of hurtful things to the god as well, but Apollo knew that saying he was going to replace Percy was exceedingly hurtful. He could never replace Percy, but he was so angry that the words just flew out of his mouth before he could think.
Apollo knew he had to see Percy; not being with him was killing him. The guilt was eating away at him and he had not felt this mad at himself in a very long time. He thought about going to see Artemis, but quickly decided against it. His sister had knack for insulting him (especially when he deserved it). She would probably just call him a big headed oaf like she usually did…and that's not what he needed.
After fulfilling his duties as the sun god, setting the sun like he always did, Apollo knew what he had to do. Without a second thought, he appeared in the all too familiar Poseidon cabin. It was dark with only a few slivers of moonlight sifting in through the curtains. Apollo's heart softened when he spotted a sleeping Percy curled up in the dark blue comforter, looking so cute the god could not help but smile goofily.
Quietly Apollo walked over and knelt beside the bed, content with just watching Percy sleep for a few moments. The boy looked considerably more peaceful than the last time Apollo saw him. The god laughed quietly when Percy let out a quiet snore, unconsciously snuggling deeper into the cocoon had made with the blankets. Apollo hesitantly reached forward, gently caressing the side of the demigod's face with his fingers.
Apollo ran his hand through Percy's untidy black hair, admiring the way the moonlight danced across the boy's face. A rush of adoration swept through him as he gazed upon the demigod. He was absolutely captivating. Apollo loved everything Percy possessed and he never dreamed he could be so happy. Looking upon Percy this way caused all the guilt to seep back into Apollo's stomach. How could he have said such a hurtful thing to the person he truly loved?
Percy, feeling the gentle touches, was roused from his sleep. Slowly, he opened his eyes, seeing Apollo right in front of him. He knew he should have still been angry, but looking into his bright eyes, the anger began to melt away. Apollo cupped Percy's face with his hand, and Percy leaned into it, releasing a content sigh.
"Hey you," Percy, his voice still raspy with tiredness.
Apollo gazed into Percy's sleepy eyes, looking for any hints of residual anger, "Percy…I'm so sorry…I didn't mean a word of it."
"I know," Percy replied more awake than before. "I'm sorry too…I didn't mean what I said either. I just let my dad get to me. I'm so sorry…"
Slowly Percy slid over in bed and raised his arm to open the covers, hinting Apollo to crawl in next to him. The god slipped into the warm covers, immediately gathering Percy into his arms. Percy sighed contently and snuggled himself against Apollo's chest. He breathed in deeply, surrounding himself with the god's scent. It was positively intoxicating, and suddenly all of the anger Percy had felt was gone.
"You know I could never replace you," Apollo said softly, trailing his thumb over Percy's perfectly formed lips. "You mean everything to me…"
"I shouldn't have doubted you," Percy said. "You've been so good to me and I acted like an idiot."
Apollo laughed softly. "We both did…but all that matters is that we're together right now. You know…we've only been apart for a little less than three days and it drove me insane."
"Me too," Percy agreed. "I hate it when you're not here. This is going to sound corny and stupid, but…"
Apollo grinned, pulled Percy flush against his chest, "Go on, tell me what you were going to say."
Percy blushed, "It's just…when you're not here it doesn't feel right. Gods, I can't even sleep properly when you're not in bed with me."
Apollo's eyes brightened even more, "As I have said before, you are entirely too cute for your own good."
Percy flushed red for the umpteenth time it seemed. Apollo always made him feel so loved. He let the feeling sweep through him, taking him to that familiar plateau of happiness he felt whenever he was with Apollo. Percy wanted to surround himself and drown in all the love Apollo gave to him.
Percy felt Apollo's fingers grasp at his chin, tilting him upwards so they were face to face. They kissed softly, which turned into a series of deep, slow kisses that had them both eager for more. Percy was always amazed how Apollo's lips seemed to burn into his very soul, igniting a fire in him so hot that he lost himself in it.
Apollo gripped at Percy's jutting hips, sliding his hands up the demigod's side. His hands met Percy's heaving chest, pushing his back against the bed. The god covered Percy's body with his own and their hot, moist mouths met in a heady kiss. Their tongues then snaked and slithered over each other and their arousals, now hard and pulsing, pressed together. Their hips rocked rhythmically and their legs tangled together. The sheets rustled and the bed springs creaked quietly as they explored each other's bodies.
"I love you," Percy breathed, letting his emotions wash over him.
"I love you too, Percy," Apollo breathed back against his younger lover's mouth. "So much."
Percy, as Apollo pressed kiss after hot kiss down his front, threaded his fingers into the god's hair and arched his back. His lips parted as he breathed fast and deep, shivers running up and down his spine. He felt Apollo's sultry tongue trace slick circles and lines over his chest, gliding over his nipples and tasting his skin. Apollo hooked a finger underneath the hem of Percy's boxers, slowly pulling the garment down the boy's legs.
"Apollo…" Percy moaned deeply, his body on fire.
Gods, Apollo was so good with his mouth. His soft lips caressed Percy's body with such passion. Each stroke of his tongue and each balmy exhalation of his breath was as sharp and crisp as an electric shock to Percy; the faint light in the room accentuated everything. He released a moan as Apollo descended him, his lips zigzagging down to his throbbing sex. Apollo almost reached it, his chin brushing against the weeping tip of Percy's cock and...
He pulled away. Percy clawed at Apollo's hair frantically, desperate to feel that hot, humid mouth envelop his pulsing length. He felt a firm hand slide over the curve of his hip and fingers dig into his flesh.
"Apollo…why-"
Apollo silenced the younger man with a firm kiss, and then looked deeply into Percy's eyes with a smirk, "I want to try something else tonight…if that's ok with you."
"What did you have in mind?" Percy asked, his blood still surging rapidly through his body.
Apollo grabbed Percy by the shoulders, maneuvering them around until Percy's body was pressing Apollo's into the mattress. The god spread his legs so Percy could fit comfortably in between them. "I want you to take me this time…"
The look on Percy's face could best be described as someone who got their birthday present early. "You really want me to?"
Apollo nodded, laughing softly at the look spread about his lover's face. He wrapped his arms around Percy's neck, kissing the demigod deeply. "Yeah, I think you've earned it," he said sarcastically.
Percy's entire body quivered at the thought of taking Apollo. He had thought of about it plenty of times, but never pressed because the god gave him so much pleasure that it was hard to think of anything else. The god was always so intent on being on top, and Percy figured it was just in his nature. But the demigod grew nervous all of the sudden, thinking that he wouldn't be able to pleasure Apollo the way the god always pleasured him.
Apollo could sense Percy's apprehension, "Don't worry, you'll be fine." He kissed Percy then, hoping to erase all of the doubts in his lover's mind.
It was Percy who deepened the kiss, pressing his tongue fervently against Apollo's. The sun god moaned into Percy's mouth, inciting Percy's pleasure even more. The kiss gradually became more intense. Percy tangled his fingers in Apollo's hair, growling and pulling their mouths closer together. Teeth gnashed and lips were bitten, sending tremors through both of their bodies. Quickly Apollo's clothes were removed, both groaning at the skin on skin contact.
Apollo's head was spinning with lust as aching heat engulfed his thighs and groin. Percy crushed their bodies together, allowing Apollo to feel their racing hearts. Percy's lips continued on their trail, completely covering the god's neck and chest in soft, gentle kisses. He could feel how hot Apollo's skin was, and it only further fueled his passion. Feeling Apollo writhing and moaning beneath him gave him a sense of power and belonging, knowing that he was the only one who could drive the god this mad with desire. Seeing Apollo like this was too much; it made Percy's arousal ache painfully in anticipation.
Slowly reaching over Apollo's body, Percy grabbed the bottle of lube from the nightstand drawer. Apollo watched with darkened eyes as Percy covered his middle finger generously. Apollo was glad to see Percy's nervousness was gone, his newfound confidence an incredible turn on.
Slowly, Percy slid his slicked up middle finger into Apollo, relishing in how tight he felt. As he slid his finger all the way in, he could only imagine what it would be like to be inside. The god writhed, wanting to feel more of Percy inside him. It had been quite a long time since let another top him, and he almost forgot about amazing it felt. As Percy slowly thrust the digit in and out, Apollo moaned in a way Percy had never heard him moan before, and it turned him on even more.
"You don't have to be gentle," Apollo rasped, his facing slightly red. "Believe me, you won't hurt me."
Not wanting to disappoint, Percy shoved another finger inside of Apollo, thrusting faster this time. He crooked his fingers, searching for the spot that he knew would make Apollo cry out. Sure enough, as soon as he reached his destination, Apollo arched his back and moaned so loudly that it surprised the younger demigod.
"Gods, Percy!" Apollo moaned, gripped Percy's arm. "Again."
Percy was in awe by the sight before him. Apollo's gorgeous body was glistening with sweat and he was biting his lower lip in way that Percy found extremely sexy. Their eyes met in a sensual gaze at Percy continued to push his fingers in and out of the god's body. Apollo gripped the sheets as Percy hit his prostate stroke after stroke. His entire body tingled, feeling as though there were lightning bolts streaming through him. Suddenly, Percy added a third finger, drawing a loud, long moan from the god. He wanted Percy desperately now and couldn't wait any longer.
"Please," Apollo said in a way that made Percy's whole body shiver.
A mischievous smile formed on Percy's face, deciding he was going to give the god a taste of his own medicine, "Please what?"
Apollo glared up at Percy, trying to keep his composure despite the fact that Percy was still thrusting his fingers inside him, "This is not the time to be cheeky."
With the wicked look still plastered on his face, Percy laid on top of Apollo again. He began licking and nipping at the god's earlobe, "You have to tell me what you want…or else you're not going to get it."
Apollo growled in frustration, and then gasped when Percy's bit the shell of his ear roughly. He was not used to giving up control, but this was his Percy, he shouldn't let his pride get in the way now.
"Tell me," Percy whispered against Apollo's ear. The god could feel Percy smirking against him. "I want to hear you say it."
"Fuck me, Percy," Apollo said finally, moaning loudly as Percy's fingers brushed against his prostate once again.
The demigod smiled triumphantly, feeling his blood pounding behind his ears. Percy quickly removed his fingers and retrieved the lube from the nightstand drawer again. He coated his raging erection on with the cool liquid, hissing at the feel of it. Then, he positioned himself between Apollo's bent legs and placed the head of his cock at his lover's entrance. Percy was shaking now as well, and he was a little nervous about how long he could last. He was so turned on and seeing Apollo groaning beneath him was arousing him even more.
Ever so slowly, Percy pressed his cock through the tight ring of muscle, moaning at how tightly Apollo's insides squeezed and molded around him. Apollo was moaning as well, feeling the demigod's large cock stretching and filling him. Apollo couldn't take his eyes off the younger man of top of him, his love for the boy filling every corner of his body. The god gripped Percy's hand tightly, lacing their fingers together as he did.
Apollo saw stars dancing behind his eyes when Percy thrust wholly into his body. Percy let out an obscene groan at the feeling of Apollo's passage squeezing and molding tightly around his cock. It was better than he imagined, the only thing that felt better was when Apollo was inside him.
"Perseus," the god sighed, gripping at the muscles of Percy's back.
The way Apollo said Percy's name was a like a prayer to his soul, filling him with so much pride and lust that he thought he was going to burst from it. Every nerve in his body was on edge. But, at last, Percy picked up the pace and was thrusting quickly inside of Apollo. He was trying everything he could do keep control of his sensitive body. Apollo's body was just so deliciously tight and warm around him.
The coiled tension inside of Apollo was wrapped up so tightly and was ready to snap at any moment. His blood surged and boiled throughout his body hot and fast, leaving him in a panting state of euphoria. Percy felt absolutely incredible, and the god suddenly wondered why he hadn't let Percy do this months ago. Sparks of pleasure were rushing through him, encompassing him in a warmth that he had almost forgotten.
Percy's instincts took over as he continued plunging into Apollo harder and deeper, making sure to strike Apollo's prostate with each thrust. Apollo was aroused to the point of begging, wanting more of whatever Percy could give him.
"You feel so amazing," Percy said through strained breath.
Apollo couldn't form the words to respond. Instead he moaned into Percy's ear, gripping at whatever part of Percy he could. Suddenly, Apollo felt a surge of warmth run throughout his entire body. All of his muscles tensed, his heart beat wildly in chest, and he gripped at Percy's back even tighter. Percy continued thrusting into him almost brutally, grunting into the god's neck as he thrust faster and faster.
"Oh shit, Percy…keep going!" Apollo pleaded.
Percy was barely holding back and was ready to explode. His entire body was bathed with an aching need for release, yet he kept pounding into the god with brutal force, drawing a cry from him with each thrust. Gazing down at Apollo, Percy could not help but think how lucky he was.
A scorching fire formed deep within Apollo, finding its target instantly. Bright lights consumed his vision, his cock pulsed and his body stiffened. With a wailing cry, Apollo shouted Percy's name as his cock erupted, spilling his seed in thick streams over his chest and stomach.
Apollo's inner walls clasped around Percy so tightly during his orgasm it caused Percy to cry out. The friction and tightness of Apollo was just too much to handle, and moments later he climaxed, filling Apollo to the brim with his release. There was so much liquid that it spilled out onto the bed. Percy found that he couldn't old himself up anymore, his arms trembling from his orgasm. He collapsed on top of Apollo, who wrapped his arms around him tightly.
Both Percy and Apollo were still for quite a few moments, basking in the afterglow. Apollo ran in his fingers through Percy's matted hair, kissing the boy softly on the cheek. Percy sighed happily, resting his head on the god's shoulder.
"I love make up sex," Apollo said, drawing a laugh from the boy on top of him.
"Was that alright?" Percy asked, still resting against Apollo's shoulder.
"There are no words to describe how wonderful that was," the god replied, still seeing faint stars behind his eyes.
It didn't take long for Percy to fall into a deep sleep, trapping Apollo underneath him. Apollo smiled, not minding that Percy's toned body was pinning his as he slept. Judging by what he had said earlier, Percy hadn't got much sleep lately. He continued to run his fingers through Percy's hair, admiring the softness of it. He knew that this would not be the last fight he and Percy would have. But, if they made up like this every time, Apollo didn't mind at all.
Looking up at the ceiling, Apollo thought of Poseidon. He was grateful that the god was supporting their relationship, but was still not happy with what was said about him. At least that was one milestone out of the way. Now all that was left was to confront Zeus...and that was going to be a very interesting task.
A/N: So yeah, Percy finally got his turn! I really hope you all liked this chapter. I was going to have the fight last another chapter, but I decided against it. Honestly, I'm getting to the point where I don't know how many chapters this should have. I want to keep writing, but I know if I do it'll just hit a brick wall eventually. But I don't want to end this too abruptly either. Any suggestions? Let me know!
Please review!
