Chapter 2

Awkward Day

-Percy-

Percy squeezed his way through the crowd of kids of ranging ages as the warning bell rang for them to get to all of their classes. He pulled his headphones out of his ears as he turned off his crappy IPod as he shoved his keys to his motorcycle in his ratty jeans. He shouldered his backpack he shook his hair free from the water as he pulled his collar of his letterman's jacket back down. He walked to his locker and quickly opened it and shoved his backpack.

"Let's see, Ah! Right don't need any books for Algebra two." He said and he shoved his books into the locker and quickly spun the lock, locking it up tightly. Percy shoved his hands back into his pockets as he looked around the quickly emptying hallway. He waved to Piper, and to Hazel and Nico as they walked in and chuckled as Frank ran in after them nearly slipping on the wet ground from the rain outside. He stopped however when he saw the flurry of blond hair and black jacket. He followed the person with his eyes and a small smile broke out. It was Jason. The newbie pretty boy he'd meet two days ago. He shook his blond hair out running his fingers though the wet golden strands.

He turned and Percy looked away that small smile he had on was growing slowly. Man Jason was hot. Percy knew he was gay a long time ago. It was towards the beginning of his freshman year when he had kissed one of the boys on the school swim team and they ended up making out. That was also when Percy found out that he was an amazing kisser and that he loved making out. Granted the other kids on the swim team at first didn't like that he was gay, but over time they grew out of the homophobia. He sauntered off to the demon bitches class giving Jason a small smile as they walked past each other in the hallway. Jason gave him a hard stare but said hey to him before Percy walked into the class sitting in the far back corner.

The day had proved to be uneventful by Percy's standards. He had failed another one of the demon bitches tests, had fallen asleep in his English class, had no idea what was going on in Econ., and had managed to almost blow the entire classroom up in Chemistry. He was just thankful that the next period was going to be lunch. After that were his two favorite classes. Latin and P.T. The bell rang and he was the first person out of that hell hole of government.

He quickly ran to his spot by the tree. It was the same spot he had eaten his lunch at since freshmen year. Before that it was his ex's tree. Luke Castellan had he had dated since his freshmen year till Luke graduated and a little bit afterwards. Luke had been the little life in Percy's hellhole of life, he had made everything better in the world just by his smile. Percy heard his name being called and shook his head clearing his thoughts.

It was Annabeth, she waved to him as she walked up to him. He had thrown his pack down onto the ground and was leaning up against the tree.

"Hey there Seaweed Brain." She said smiling slightly. Annabeth and Percy had been friends since middle school and the nickname came from when they first met each other. They were on a school field trip to the tide pools and he had fallen in. Well it was on purpose but still, when he had gotten fished out his hair was filled with seaweed and thus the name stuck. Annabeth ruffled his hair slightly.

"How have you been Annabeth? How did the Aca-Deca team do?" Percy asked although he already knew what the answer to that question was. Annabeth was one the smartest person that Percy knew by far. She smiled.

"We creamed them, you should have seen some of the problems though. Oh hey Hazel." She said waving to the girl before she starting talking about some of the problems that they were given. Percy easily drowned it out, he loved Annabeth to pieces but he had no idea what half the shit she was talking about was real or not. Annabeth stopped however when she saw someone her eyes widened.

"Whoa, who is that hottie?" She said. Percy turned around the tree to take a look at who Annabeth was checking out to see that it was Jason Grace. Huddling up against the wall underneath the rain gutter probably semi-dry since all the other spots were taken by other students.

"Oh, him? He's a new kid. Just came in yesterday isn't he cute?" Percy said laughing slightly, but Annabeth shook her head.

"You should invite him over and come eat with us." She said and Percy started laughing harder.

"Hahahahaha that's funny." He said and she gave him a hard glare. "He's not really our type Annabeth, he's a goody two shoes pretty boy who's daddy is hella rich." She glared at him harder. He shrugged his shoulders slowly. "I invited him to come over here but he ran away yesterday got into two fights with Adam."

Annabeth rolled her eyes slapping him upside the head and went off to into the pelting rain to go fetch the pretty boy.

"I don't know Perc. He is kind of cute, maybe you might have a chance with him." Piper said looking at the two blonds as they talked. Percy looked over at them. Jason was giving Annabeth his jacket probably because she had left her own over by Percy. Percy scoffed.

"He's hella straight Piper, he's all yours. You should have seen him when I got close to him. I thought he was gonna deck me." Percy said laying down underneath the pine tree the dead pine needles acting as a blanket. Piper blinked at Percy for a few seconds before the two blonds came back. Jason sat down shivering slightly as Annabeth handed him back his jacket. He ran his hand through his blond hair drying it quickly. Percy looked over him. He was wearing a purple t-shirt and tight blue jeans. Over that he was wearing a white button up shirt with a strange insignia on the sleeves. He thanked Annabeth politely before he looked around at the group now that everyone was there it was all six of them together the group was a lot more livelier.

"So Jason, do you play any sports?" Annabeth asked as Percy slowly got up and stole a few of bits of her food, she let it happen even giving him some of the food she specifically didn't want. Jason was glancing at everyone but was focusing mostly on both Percy and Annabeth. Percy was curious as to why Jason was so flighty the smallest noises would make him jump.

"Yeah, I was in wrestling and soccer. We didn't have a foot ball team, but now I don't really want to do that." Jason said chuckling nervously. Annabeth smiled warmly.

"Yeah I heard about your run in with Adam. Just ignore that prick alright? It was a good thing that Percy showed up yesterday eh?" Annabeth said knocking elbows with Percy who smiled slightly at Jason before nodding curtly.

"Ya know Jason, we aren't gonna bite your head off you can relax." Percy said patting Jason's back slowly making Jason jump. Percy blinked a few times as Jason glared darkly at him.

"I know that...I'm looking for Adam." Jason said glaring slightly at Percy. Percy smiled hugely shaking his head.

"Adam won't bother you as long as you're with us. All of us here won't hesitate to kick his ass for you right guys?" Percy said they all agreed quickly nodding and smiling. Jason looked at all them with wide eyes, but lastly looked at Percy. The two boys stared at each other for while. Percy was looking at Jason's eyes. They were as blue as the clear azure sky they were so beautiful to look at. His gaze went down to Jason's lips, were there was a small scar on the left side.

Percy wondered where that scar had come from, and he found that he for some reason wanted to lick that scar. He knew he had a small thing for them. His last boyfriend Luke had one to and he couldn't keep his hands off it. He shook his head and looked away from the boy after someone, perhaps Nico. Jason was blushing darkly and Percy kicked at his shoes uncomfortably.

The bell rang and everyone got up saying their goodbyes before they all went off to their separate classes. Percy and Jason not saying a word to each other, but everyone else knew. They both at least had a crush on each other.

Percy ran to his Latin class sitting down right as the bell rang. As the loud piercing bell stopped a blond boy came running in, with his black jacket and tight blue skinny jeans. It was Jason. Percy stiffened slightly looking at the blond with wide eyes. What the fuck was he doing in this class? Jason went to the front of the class to speak to their teacher. Mr. Brunner, he looked up at Jason from his wheel chair and nodded telling him to go find a seat. Percy shrank down from his in the back. However he knew it was useless. The only open seats were by him, and that was because all the nerds were scared of him. Jason sat down glancing at Percy before what sounded like growling lowly. Jason took out his notes and started furiously scratching down notes that Mr. Brunner was writing on the chalk board.

Percy quickly got out a piece of paper and a pen scratching down on it.

What the fuck are you doing in this class? This class is for seniors!

He folded it and tossed it to Jason who blinked a few times and than glared at Percy. Percy motioned for him to unfold and read it. Jason glared at him again and did as he was told his stare firm as he read it before quickly replying back at throwing it at Percy's face. Percy glared back before reading it.

I got in this class because I wanted to take it and I had all of my other requirements. Plus I've taken three years of Latin in my other school. I'm not to worrieb about this and I woulb like it if you didn't pass notes to me.

Percy looked over it a few times and blinked surprised. He looked at Jason and than back at the paper. The way he wrote some of his letters, he had switched the b's and d's around. He had dyslexia, just like Percy. Percy quickly replied

You have dyslexia too? How bad is it? And you took three years of Latin that is pretty cool You're not so bad Jason you know, you can come hang out with us if you want.

He folded and tossed him the paper. Jason growled again ripping the paper opened. Percy chuckled at how easy it was to annoy Jason, and he thought that his growl was just plain sexy as hell. Jason blushed for a few seconds before shooting a glare at Percy. He replied quickly and threw the paper at him.

It's pretty bad sometimes, when I get stressed mostly. Yeah, my native language is Italian so it's pretty easy to read and write and even speak. Thanks Percy I'll keep that in mind, but I'll think I'll stick to my corner for now.

Percy rolled his eyes quickly replying with.

You mean by yourself?

Jason replied just as fast with.

yes...

Percy rolled his eyes.

Suit yourself pretty boy just letting you know or else Annabeth would skin me a live if I didn't "properly invite you to our group" Damn student council president...

Jason blinked a few times surprised by this notion.

Annabeth is the student council President?

Yep, has been for the last two years the year before that she was the student V.P. and before that secretary...why does that surprise you?

"Mr. Grace? Which one is the correct conjugation of the verb to eat?" Mr. Bernard asked Jason. Who bolted up from his desk eyes wide like he was a deer in head lights. He quickly hid the notes under his desk as he looked up at the board for a few seconds.

"Uh...that would be Manducem." Jason said quickly before sitting back down. Mr. Bernard blinked at him a few times.

"Mr. Grace...what year are you?" Mr. Brunner asked. Jason slide down in his chair as everyone looked at him. Thanks to Percy Jason now knew he was the only underclassmen in the class.

"I'm a junior Sir." Jason said quickly. Mr. Brunner nodded slowly before turning back to the chalk board.

"You're smart Mr. Grace, but you still need to pay attention in class. If I see you and Mr. Jackson passing notes again you'll both be serving detentions with me." He said a small twinkle in his eyes he was completely bull shitting but Jason ducked nodded and nodded. "Now, for the project. You'll each be given a city from the Roman empire and you'll be doing research on it. And I've already picked your groups. Jason, Percy. You two are together. You have Rome." Percy scoffed quietly and proceeded to draw on the other half of the paper he had used for writing on to Jason. Jason looked like he was about ready to commit suicide.

When the bell rang he got up slowly stretching his legs. Jason walked slowly over to him shouldering his pack. Percy looked up at him slowly quirking an eyebrow.

"Um...could you show me where the gym is?" Jason said slowly. Percy's eyebrows rose even higher.

"Don't tell me you have P.T. too?" Percy said Jason blinked a few times and sighed.

"You have it too..." Jason said, Percy nodded slowly. "Does Adam?" He asked and Percy nodded slowly as well Jason looked sick to his stomach.

"Only until football ends though than he has to switch out." Percy said Jason looked at him with a small twinkle of his hope. Man that kid really was innocent. "Come on Pretty boy. I'll show you to the locker room."

"Stop calling me that!" Jason said following Percy to the locker room. Percy chuckled loudly as he shook his head.

"Why? You are one. So I don't see what the problem is for calling you that." Percy said. Jason glared darkly at him running a frustrated hand through his still damp hair.

"Because I don't like being called names like that." Jason said.

"Why, you are cute ya know? I wouldn't mind kissing you." Percy said honestly. Jason froze and turned to look at him a look of horror on his face.

"What!?" Jason all but yelped. Percy chuckled slightly.

"Don't worry pretty boy, I'm not into rape or nothing. If you don't want it I don't do it, but you shouldn't pout so much. It just makes me want to kiss you more." Percy said getting into Jason's personal space his lips millimeters from Jason's. Percy could feel his breathe hitch and his body shudder as Percy's breath blew onto Jason's plump rosy lips. Percy pulled away chuckling before going into the locker room. Jason blushed darkly before going into the locker room as well.

-Jason-

Jason stepped into the locker room. Taking a deep breath trying to steady his pounding heart, and calm his shaking hands. This day couldn't get any weirder. He went to the p.t. teacher to see a squat man with brown curly hair and a baseball cap on. He was wearing gym shorts and a t-shirt and was carrying a baseball bat with him.

"Um... Coach Hedge?" Jason asked slowly after knocking on the door. The man looked up from his mixed martial arts magazine, and Jason swallowed loudly. It was the man from yesterday.

"What do ya want cupcake?" He asked before flipping through a page. Jason cleared his throat before speaking smoothly and calmly.

"I'm the new student? I need a locker." He said coolly. Coach Hedge looked up again and than nodded slowly before getting up.

"Alright alright alright." He said. "Do you have ye'r gym clothes and lock already?" He asked and Jason nodded. Hedge took him to the lockers filled with changing boys. Jason was looking down and nearly ran into the short man when he had stopped. "Here ya go cupcake. A nice private one from prying eyes eh? Just watch out for Jackson, he'll kick ya ass before you can hallelujah!" He said before walking away laughing. Jason looked over and felt his heart skip a beat. Sea green eyes were staring at him as Percy was in the middle of changing. He wasn't wearing a shirt which allowed Jason to look over smooth hard skin to his perfectly tan chest and washboard abs. He was wearing blue boxers. Not that Jason was looking over course. He quickly looked away his ears burning. He couldn't think like that he couldn't. Jason wasn't like that. He quickly discarded his blue skinny jeans and put on the black pair of athletic shorts he had bought. He quickly stripped off his jacket and shirt to put on the blue tank top.

"Please don't notice me, please don't notice me." Jason was muttering under his breath.

"Damn Grace..." Percy said appearing behind him. Jason could feel his breath on his neck and he shivered. Jason whipped around with out the tank top on. Blue eyes met stormy green ones and Jason stopped just staring at them for second.

"What..." He growled glaring darkly at the senior.

"Dude you're looking pretty fine. You should join the swim team." He said looking over Jason in a way that made Jason squirm a little. He was use to having people stare at him shirtless, but the way that Percy was doing it. It was like he was looking over a piece of meat that he really wanted to eat. Well after what he just told him coming in. Maybe. Jason chuckled nervously backing up.

"I don't do well in water." Jason said quickly taking a step back. "Thanks for the offer though." Percy looked over him and pouted slightly. Jason looked at him again. Percy was pouting like a kicked puppy, full on pouting. Jason blushed slightly as Percy got closer pushing Jason up against the locker.

"So, about this Latin project. We're going to your house correct?" Percy said his voice getting lower and huskier for some reason. Jason blinked a few times his heart hammering again as Percy got closer.

"Um...sure? My house? Yeah, Yeah, that's fine. Follow me after school." Jason said quickly anything to get Percy away. There was a loud bang as Coach Hedge banged his bat against the locker room.

"Alright cupcakes! Due to the rain you'll only be running twice around the track and than we'll be heading to the weight room to start up on our reps. Now go on!" He yelled and everyone filed out.

Jason was really happy that he was in this class and that he had Coach Hedge. He was finally being challenged physically. You could tell that this class was nothing but the school top athletes. Adam didn't even have a chance to bother him because Hedge was working all of them like working dogs. By the time that Jason got into the locker room he felt like he had ran 10 miles up hill. He was covered in sweat and he had long discarded his tank top that was soaking in his sweat. Percy who he had been partnered up with, which he was ok with since Percy seemed to work just as hard, came up pounding him on his back.

"Nice work there Grace. You're hard worker man!" He said smiling hugely laughing slightly.

"Thanks Percy." Jason said slowly. Percy felt so warm, and slippery, and man he smelled good. He smelled like the ocean spray. Jason mentally shook his head. He wasn't like that.

"I'm gonna hit the showers ya coming?" Percy said. Jason blinked and quickly shook his head blushing fiercely.

"No!" He cleared his throat realizing that he had shouted. Percy looked at him quizzically. "No I'm good. I'll take on when I get home." He said. Percy looked at Jason again this time his eyes had hardened.

"Ya know Jason. I was only joking back there. I respect a mans sexuality. I won't do anything." He said slowly taking a step forward and Jason stepped back. Jason nodded slowly not trusting himself to speak. He knew he could hold his own against Percy. He'd fought a lot harder people in his aunt's dojo. "Come on. I won't bite." Percy said and he dragged Jason into the shower.

"I...but I don't have any soap!" Jason tried, pulling back Percy shook his head.

"You can use mine ya pansy. Now don't be such a bitch and get showered." He said Jason glared at him darkly before going to the farthest one from Percy. Everyone else had already left and it was just the two of them.

"Don't call me that!" Jason growled as he stripped slowly and turned the water on. He gasped as the cold water hit him. He quickly put it on the hottest setting it had.

Percy looked over at him smiling hugely. "What? A bitch? Jason you're gonna have to loosen up a little if you're going to survive high school." He said before tossing the bar of soap he had to Jason. Jason caught it easily and started soaping himself up. He looked over at Percy and blushed darkly. The soap was slowly being washed down his perfect muscular back going down to be washed away down the drain. Jason looked away quickly before Percy caught him staring. He quickly soaped up his chest and legs washing them quickly. He went under the water to get his hair wet when suddenly he was pushed up against the freezing tile. Jason yelped when he felt Percy's breath on his neck again. Percy said something but Jason was to panicked to hear anything.

"What?" Jason gasped his face on fire.

"The soap?" Percy husked in Jason's ear making him shudder. "Can I have my soap back." He growled lowly. Jason's mind was trying to process what Percy was saying when he suddenly felt hands going across his bare hips. Jason squeaked and tried to move but his body wasn't doing anything except getting warmer and warmer. He felt lips over his jaw below his ear brushing it as they moved. "Are you alright Jay?" Percy asked. Jason was biting his lip holding back a groan. Percy's hands had laced around his hips and was grabbing Jason's hand that held the soap. Jason let go of it. He looked away from Percy to get away from those lips. His breathing was fast and irregular as he tried to calm down.

"Jay?" Percy said quickly turning Jason's face to look at him.

"Y...yeah?" Jason panted out blushing darkly. Percy looked into Jason's blue eyes slowly. Jason tried to look away from those swirling green eyes but he couldn't. They held his stare better than anything in the world.

"Are you alright?" Percy breathed out. His body was turning pink from the outrageously hot water hitting his skin. Jason nodded slowly licking his lips to try and say something anything to get him out of this predicament. He couldn't move anywhere. The cold tile and Percy's hot, wet body were blocking him escape. Jason could push back against that warm, wet dripping muscular.

"Stop it Jason! Stop it! You're not thinking about that you hear me! Earth to Jason!" Jason yelled at himself trying to clear his thoughts of those dirty images. Jason wasn't gay. He wasn't. That was just a mistake. A big huge mistake! He stopped in mid thought when he felt something soft pressed up against his lips. Jason's azure blue eyes snapped open widening to dinner plates. That softness, was Percy's lips pressed square up to the junior's lips. Percy in a flash had flipped Jason so his back was pressed against the wall. Percy's eyes were closed as he gently held Jason's head as he kissed deeper. Jason squeaked which was a mistake opening his mouth. Percy's tongue made quick work licking up and down Jason's scar drawing out a low animalistic moan from Jason.

At some point probably when Percy's tongue was tracing Jason's teeth. It clicked that Percy was making out with him, and for some reason a deep inner part of Jason snapped screaming at him to kiss back. Don't let Percy be better than you! And Jason started kissing him back. Slowly his tongue licked Percy's and he gasped at the sensation it brought. The breath was getting eaten away by Percy and soon both were gasping. Percy pulled off panting heavily. He went down and kissed Jason's throat licking up to his ear to nip at it. Drawing a whimper from the poor virgin blonds' throat. Jason's hands grabbed at Percy's muscular back. Suddenly there was a loud bang from the teacher's office of Coach Hedge slamming the door. The two boys instantly were apart Jason fell to the floor his knees to weak to stand by himself. Percy had turned off Jason's shower head and was crouching under the wall. Hedge walked by the showers turning off the lights and walked out closing the door and locking it.

"Come on Jason. We should get going." Percy said standing up walking towards Jason who was standing up slowly on shaky legs. Thankfully it was to dark for Percy to see anything. Jason was still in stupor that he had just been kissed by a boy, and he had liked it. Well he didn't push away or yell at him, but that was wrong all wrong. Jason was straight. He liked girls, he didn't think of guys like that. Sure he didn't think of girls like that either, but that was because he respected woman. Right? Jason didn't know anymore. He didn't know who he could talk to about this. Certainly not his dad. Maybe Aunt Lupa.

"Jay?" Percy said again. Jason blinked a few times.

"Yeah, sorry. Just not feeling all to well. You should probably come over tomorrow. Alright? You're not doing anything tomorrow right?" Jason asked Percy looked up in thought.

"Saturday? I work until noon, but I can come over at three-ish? I have some stuff to do before than ok?" Percy said and Jason nodded.

"K. I uh...should get going." Jason quickly and ran to his stuff getting changed in the dark.

"Look Jason, about what just happened." Percy said trying to explain himself.

"It's ok...just don't let it happen again." Jason said quickly. Percy looked at him pouting slightly again. Jason looked at him. Percy once again looked like Jason had just kicked a puppy that was named Percy. He looked away.

"See ya, tomorrow. " Percy said slowly. Jason nodded and Percy left. Jason brushed his lips again. He could still feel those amazingly soft lips on his own. That tongue dragging across his scar. He said that he didn't want to happen again, but does Jason really want that? He really needed to talk to Lupa about this.
