Chapter 2: "Percy's reunion and Gray's despair."

August 19, 2014. Its Percy's 16th birthday, and it's about time Gray Kreiss put his plan into action. He planned long enough for this and he have gathered enough courage to go against his own father.

Gray set foot in Gabe Ugliano's apartment complex, planning to kill him. He slowly knocked on the door and waited for an answer; a man with bulge stomach, and unclean-greasy appearance opened the door. Gabe smelled like rotten cheese that even a mouse wouldn't dare come any close to.

"Ah, Sir Gray it's a surprise to see you." Gabe tried to straighten up his outfit, trying to look a bit nicer than just being a smelly looking walrus with trim mustache and beard and a very untidy hair. "Unfortunately sir if you are here for Percy he's out." He said, looking a bit annoyed at saying Percy's name.

Gray tried a smile and shook his head "No sir Gabe I'm here to talk to you about something." Gray's eyes seem to gleam like he's going to tell someone about his father's wrong doings and how he would watch his father beg on his knees afterwards.

"Then please do come in." Gabe was treating him a thousand times nicer than how he treats Percy and this already made Gray even more irritated with this unhealthy man. "Sorry we don't have anything that boy left without making me breakfast don't worry I'll punish him later."

Gray's action was so swift that Gabe couldn't react when he felt a sharp knife digging down his skin to his lungs. Gabe gasped as he saw how irritated the blonde haired teen looked at him; Gray was so disgusted at how the man acted and how bad he treated Percy. Percy is Gray's everything, after his mother died everything felt too hard for Gray until Percy came cheering him up. He decided that he will help Percy one day so that at least he can be helpful for the young man.

Gabe clutched the wound after he got away "W…Why?" tears of fear formed in his eyes.

"So disgusting Mister Gabe Ugliano…How disgusting." Gray kicked the man again and again and ended everything when Gabe no longer breathes and died from blood loss.

Gray panted so hard; he thought it would be easy killing someone but it hasn't been a minute after he is already being hunted by guilt. Quickly Gray dialed the police and left the scene with the weapon in hand; he changed in his car and left the place and went far away so he could burn the clothes with blood on it. How could his father do something like this? He couldn't imagine how cold his father has become.

Soon he returned home in daze; Percy is the one who greeted him upon his return. Gray smiled and wrapped his arms around the other's neck and kissed him on the cheeks "Happy Birthday Percy, I'll give you the most beautiful gift later. Okay?" Gray caressed the other teen's cheeks and quickly left looking so stressed out.

Gray met his father on his way to his own bedroom, his breath hitched when he felt the cold stare turned into a glare. "Gabe is dead. Do you know something about this?" Kronos's cold voice send chills down Gray's spine. Gray could only shake his head in reply. Kronos left with no other word.

/BREAK\

Percy couldn't wait for Gray's 'birthday present' for him; since the other teen told him it would be beautiful he's gotten even more curious than before.

Gently, Percy knocked on Gray's bedroom and entered it after no one answered for about a minute or two. "Gray?" he called the blonde teen; he only saw the other teen standing outside the balcony looking so grim about something. It's already been almost two years since Gray started to act so strange and Percy could no longer read the other's expression or thoughts.

Percy strode over to Gray's position and wrapped his arms around the thinner male's torso and embraced him from behind. "Percy." Gray slowly caressed his name and it somehow makes the other irritable since he might become hard and cum by just listening to the other calling him in such a sweet tone; even though sadness hints the tone down.

Percy hummed in reply. "You need to run away from here." Percy's eyes looks like they're going to fall out of its sockets.

"W…What?" Percy really can't predict Gray anymore and that's final for Percy's decision "What are you talking about Gray?" he asked starting to get worried.

"This is my birthday gift for you. I eliminated Gabe so you could successfully leave and that…"

"…'That'?"

Gray's tears started falling down on his cheeks "…It's my father's fault that you're treated so badly by Gabe and that you are so far away from your own family." Gray tried not to stutter in his words. Percy looked at Gray with disbelief. "So I'm doing this…so I can make you happy…I found out about it…two years from now."

Percy moved away swiftly and lowered his head. After all these years he suffered; he would found out that the person he has treated almost as his own lover, brother and best friend is the son of the man who took him away from his own family. Now what? How could he hide it for a long time? Percy could help but hate everything around him at that moment.

"Percy?" Gray tried to touch the other teen but much to his surprise Percy slapped it away and looked at him with hate in his eyes; they burn Gray's heart like a rapid fire outrage. But it was fine; Percy is supposed to be acting this way to him. He has his blood anyway. Gray moved away from the balcony and closed the glass doors; he couldn't stop crying so he has to make sure Percy won't see how vulnerable he is.

Percy looked back at Gray his heated glare somehow melted down a bit; but he did leave that night and was never seen on the next day.

/BREAK\

Gray couldn't sleep at all; he's worried about Percy's condition. He couldn't help but think of him. A knock came on his door and echoed throughout his spacious room. "Enter." He spoke softly.

A maid came in and informed that his father wanted to see him in the study. Gray's heart felt like it stopped for a moment there. Did he find out? His thoughts were centered on this kind of thought as he made his way after getting dressed up. He knocked on the study's door and entered after he heard the permission.

"Come here Gray" Kronos ordered and Gray complied; the younger one was not so surprised after the fast jab to his stomach from his father; Blood rolled out of his mouth and he tasted iron. "You said that you don't know about Gabe's death…then what about Percy's disappearance?"

"I…I don't know about it too…" the teen rubbed his stomach to ease it from the pain; but Kronos's fist made contact with his face too.

"You liar! I didn't teach you to betray me! You are my son you're suppose to follow me!"Kronos pulled out a knife from his pocket and pulled his son's head by grabbing a fist of the teen's fringes; he pointed the knife over to his son's right eye. "Now answer me properly. Where is Percy?"

"I…I…made…no…I don't know, father." Gray quivered at the sight and the thought of losing his sense of sight; but he would accept it either way. Maybe karma was getting back to him for being too selfish when he was young and naïve about Percy's condition.

Later Gray could only see red with his right eyes as his father dug it out. From his mouth came out a blood curling cry of pain; it really hurts so much that he soon run out of consciousness.

/BREAK\

Percy finally reached the neighborhood where he's supposed to be living and should've grown up. Olympus ville; a very fancy village where the most famous, and wealthy family lives. He looked around the place for the name plate 'Jackson' and surely his father would be living in that place.

Percy's heart can't stop pounding but his mind is also pondering about Gray. How he treated the guy wrongly. He must hate me now. He thought as he walked alone under the heavy rain and dark stormy clouds. Perfect! Even the weather doesn't want him to feel all cheerful for being mean to the person who cares for him the most.

"Why are you so stupid Perce?" he grumbled to himself.

His feet soon stop and he was surprised to see the place he's been looking for. The name Jackson in carved elegantly on a golden plate beside a huge black, Iron Gate. On instincts he quickly run towards the gate and started yelling his father's name "Poseidon! Poseidon Jackson?! It's Percy! I'm here!" a guard approached him and started making him go away. "Wait! You don't understand I need to see him! At least once! Please!"

A car parked before the gate and the person in the car went out to find the reason of the ruckus. "What's happening here?" a man that looks exactly like Percy came out; he has sharper appearance than Percy but definitely looks like the younger male.

"A…Are you…Poseidon?" he asked.

The other male looked at him bewildered, and then laughed afterwards. "No. My apologies but I'm not Poseidon but his son Triton Jackson."

"Ah! Then you're my brother!" Percy's face enlightens and went closer to the male but the guard is sure holding his arm tightly; he surely takes his job seriously.

"Brother…?" the finally it hits Triton, same color of eyes and hair, though he's features are softer he sure looks like him and his father. "Perseus?"

"I…Is that my real…name?" Percy stopped struggling from the grip "It's…not…Percy?" just then Percy remembered something in his memory.

"Perseus." A soft, feminine voice soothed him to sleep.

A sudden warm hug was not expected; but it sure feels nice and it surely makes him feel safe and sound; like how he felt around Gray.

Gray… Percy's eyes narrowed, the guard let's go of his arm so he wrapped them around the older teen's torso. This older teen is his brother; Triton Jackson is it…the famous actor along with his cousin Thanatos di Angelo and Herakels Grace. It feels so foreign yet so familiar, the thoughts of being part of this older teen's family is the foreign feeling and the warm hug and the smell sure is very familiar to Percy.

Triton pulled back from the hug with a huge smile, "We should hurry inside, and we don't want to catch you cold. Come now, in my car." He pulled Percy and made him go in the passenger seat in front and went back to the driver's seat and hurriedly drive off to the main building, they're two more family members awaits for Triton's arrival but will be very surprise and very glad to see someone familiar again.

Parking the car in front of the main door of the mansion a man stepped out from the big house with a huge umbrella; Triton didn't wait for the butler and opened the passenger seat. The old man was surprised to see Percy and felt a jump of happiness on seeing the lost second son of Poseidon. "Klein, where's Tyson?"

"He's in the living room sire, waiting for you." The butler replied not even moving his stare away from Percy.

"And father?" Triton moved Percy toward the entrance to cover from the rain, both of them was so wet so the maids came rushing to give Triton a towel but were surprised to see another young teen that looks exactly like Triton.

"In the study, young master." The butler replied as he shut his umbrella and took the car's keys from Triton to give it to the valet to have him park the car.

"Call him. He has to meet Perseus." Triton said as he took a towel and hand it to Percy before getting one for his self. The butler nodded and left the wet umbrella to a maid and swiftly walked away to get his master from the study.

"Get a change of clothes for Percy." Triton ordered a maid; and somehow Percy isn't used to that. Triton turned to him "You need to take a hot bath, you'll get cold." He said as he pulled Percy along to his room and both of them bathe together; it was a bit embarrassing and awkward for Percy but not for Triton since he was incredibly happy.

A maid arrived with a presentable clothing for Percy and it suited him perfectly "Those were mine, don't worry we'll buy you new ones next time." Triton smiled as he planted a soft kiss on the younger teen's forehead "I missed you so much Perseus."

"You can just call me Percy." The younger male smiled his cheeks were tinted pink; but deep within him he is terribly holding his urges to jump in happiness for meeting his biological brother and he would meet another one and his true father that might care for him. But somehow he felt the warm feeling before, Ah right…Gray.

"Sure, Percy" Triton smiled back as he led the teen towards the living; both teens saw a young boy watching cartoons on the large, fancy, white sofa. Percy looked around him, the grand staircase is very breath-taking the house all in all is very elegant and very fancy; everything looks expensive and Percy is afraid to touch anything.

The boy with hazel brown eyes met with Percy's green eyes; the boy's mouth formed into a large 'O' noticing how familiar Percy looks. "Wow brother Triton is he your twin?" the young boy asked as he run towards the older teen.

"No Tyson but he's our brother, Perseus." Triton introduced "Oh, and Percy this is Tyson Jackson he's you brother both from mother and father I'm your brother from our father." Triton doesn't seem to be bothered by that so Percy figured out that his 'older brother' is a very kind person.

"Oh! Brother Percy" Tyson slipped off Triton's arms and run and wrapped his tiny arms around Percy's right leg he giggled in satisfaction when he felt Percy's hand patted him on the head.

"It's Perseus to you young man." Triton found his hands on his hips.

"Its fine" Percy smiled as he rubbed his hand in the boy's head.

"Uwah! You're messing my hair." Tyson chortled and ran away like he wants to play hide-and-seek. But all went silent when they noticed an older man panting hard as he stood at the top of the grand staircase.

"Perseus?" clearly Percy recognized the man as Poseidon; and clearly he can see how eager he is to see him and touch him since it's like a blink of an eye and Poseidon was already embracing him before he can even say anything else or even greet him. "Yes, you truly are Perseus." He mumbled as he tightly embraced Percy in his arms.

"I…"started Percy but was cutted when Poseidon shook his head.

"No matter what happen to you we will talk about it sooner or later all we need now is a good time together as not so but complete family, right Triton?" Poseidon look over to the older teen who nodded with a smile as he pick up Tyson who is smiling but definitely looking at the older males with curious eyes.

How cute. Percy smiled as he looks at Tyson, Complete huh. Just then he remembered the black haired teen he left behind, it's definitely a sad and troubling matter so he tried to forget him. He'll be fine, he's his son anyway. They are the reason I'm far away from my family for years, now I have this.

"Okay father, enough now. Percy needs rest, he's been through a lot so he needs a ton of rest right Percy?" Triton said.

"Percy?" Poseidon is very puzzled.

"You can call me Percy as a nickname, I usually go by that." Percy smiled at his father after pulling back from the strong embrace which was loosening a bit.

"Oh I see." Poseidon smiled then patted Percy's back "Then off you sailors go, time for bed its 10 in the evening." He said as he too left after giving a soft peck on each of his sons' cheeks.

"Good night dad/daddy." Both Tyson and Triton recited.

"Good night boys." Poseidon replied and looks at Percy waiting for his 'Good night' greeting.

Percy smiled "Good night dad."

Poseidon hummed in delight, "Yes. Goodnight, Percy." Then off they went to their individual bedrooms, Percy is very surprised that his room is still clean after all those years; the butler said that it was maintained in case this happens in the future and Poseidon sometimes sleeps in this room. Percy felt the warmth of his family's love that he has forgotten about Gray Kreiss.
