Jason:

Percy groaned and laid his head down on his kitchen table. Jason had been 'working' with Percy on their homework for almost on hour which really consisted of Jason trying to help Percy understand. It really didn't help that Percy kept going off on random tangents about Zeus knows what and Jason was trying to keep him on track.

"This is impossible" Percy complained "what kind of teacher assigns this on the first day? By the way that reminds me of-"

"Percy!" Jason said for the millionth time "we're about half-way done. It won't take that much longer."

"Okay. Let's work. So number 8 is- Oh, hey! My mom's home" Percy declared and right on cue a woman walked into the apartment. "Hey mom" Percy greeted "this is Jason. He's a... Uh he's my lab partner."

"Nice to meet you" she said with a smile "I'm Sally."

"Nice to meet you too" Jason greeted.

The woman's eyes scanned over her son as she set her things on the counter. "How's the studying going?" she asked.

"Fine" Percy said instantly.

She smiled and nodded. "Alright well I'm going to start on dinner, but you boys can keep working" she said as she walked over to the counter.

Percy gave a small nod. Jason cleared his throat and sat up a little straighter. "So, um, about number 8" Jason started "we just have to draw a few Lewis-dot structures."

"Okay" Percy said, but his eyes were only on the paper for a second before he looked off into space again. "Ya know I knew a guy named Lewis and-"

"Dude!" Jason said "we need to focus."

"Right- sorry" Percy said awkwardly, but he started tapping his fingers on the table and bouncing his leg again.

"Honey," Sally said as she walked over to the table "have you taken your medication today?"

"Mom!" Percy said, his face turning bright crimson.

"Don't be embarrassed Percy. Now, did you?" she insisted.

Jason felt incredibly awkward. He didn't know exactly what his medication was for, but he would bet his soul that it was for ADHD. His best friend, Leo, was ADHD and he acted a lot like Percy did. Jason's knowledge of Percy was growing pretty quick for him having met him today. Dyslexic, ADHD, been to a lot of schools, a swimmer, a bit awkward, cute- wait what?

"Yes, mom I took them" Percy gritted through his teeth. He glanced awkwardly at Jason before staring at his chemistry book. "I'm not normally this bad" he muttered "it's just a bad day."

Before Jason could think it through he reached over and put a hand on Percy's shoulder. He couldn't help it, he was a touchy person. Percy turned his head at the action and their eyes met for an awkward moment. The moment was only broken when Percy's mom cleared her throat and said "maybe you boys should take a break and watch some TV or something. After dinner you can go back to working on your homework."

Percy shook his head and looked away from Jason. "Mom he doesn't want to stay that long-"

"I don't mind" Jason insisted.

Percy looked shocked for a moment. His mouth hung open and something weird sparkled in his sea-green eyes. Not that he payed any attention to his eyes... Anyways after a moment Percy closed his mouth and collected himself. "Dude, you don't have to" he said.

"Dude, I said I don't mind" Jason said.

"Yea dude" Sally mocked "so why don't you boys go into the living-room for a while."

Percy let out a long breath and stood up. "Alright" he said "let's go."

Percy:

Percy and Jason sat awkwardly on the couch as Friends plays on the TV. Percy felt so embarrassed that he wished the pen in his pocket was a sword so he could impale himself on it. They sat in silence for a while and Percy was becoming even more agitated than he was before. He hadn't even realized how much his ADHD was acting up until his mom had asked about his medication. This happened a lot, he'd get excited about something and he'd start acting ridiculous with out even noticing it.

But that wasn't even the worst part. The worst part was the reason he was excited was because of Jason being there in his apartment and he was looking even better than he had at school because he'd changed into basketball shorts and a t-shirt. This was all slowly killing Percy because he knew Jason was straight and yet...

"I'll tell you what happened with me and Piper" Jason blurted out, drawing Percy out of his thoughts.

"Uh- you don't have to" Percy replied after taking a moment to collect himself.

"No, I want to" Jason said as he turned sideways to face Percy "you've kind of been forced to tell me a bunch of personal stuff, so I figure it's the least I can do."

Percy just nodded, he was't about to say no. He really did want to know. Jason let out a long breath and ran his hand through his blonde hair. "She dumped me because I didn't want to sleep with her" he said.

Percy stared for a second before he started laughing. "Dude, you're right" he said "that was personal."

Jason smiled and blushed slightly. "I know man. That's why I told you" he said. Percy stared at him quizzically for a few moments and Jason rolled his eyes. "Go ahead. Ask why."

Percy smiled. "Why didn't you sleep with her?"

Jason shrugged. "I don't really know" he said "I just didn't really feel like it and I figured my first time shouldn't be-"

"Wait what?" Percy asked "you're a virgin?"

Jason's face turned bright red. "Yea, so?" he defended.

"I- nothing" Percy said "I'm just surprised. I mean you're good looking and-" Percy caught himself and felt his face turn crimson. "You just don't look like the type of dude to still be a virgin."

"Well I am!" Jason said "you're... not?"

Percy bit his lip and looked down at his hands. "No" he said. Suddenly Percy was feeling embarrassed about his history instead of Jason being the embarrassed of his lack of history.

Jason cocked his head to the side. "How many girls?" he asked.

"Um, only 3 people" Percy said, intentionally using the word people instead of girls. In all honesty he'd slept with two girls and one guy, but Jason didn't need to know that.

Jason nodded. "I don't know man, I've just never really wanted to do it" he said "Piper was all over me, but..."

Before Percy could stop himself he snorted and crossed his arms as he leaned back in the sofa. "Dude, maybe you're gay" he laughed.

"What! No! I-" Jason's eyes had grown huge. "I'm not..." Jason's voice trailed off and he sat there, his mouth hanging open and his eyes looked confused.

"Um... that's okay, if you are" Percy said awkwardly.

Jason looked as confused as Percy did when he was trying to read his chemistry lab this morning. "I... I never thought about it" he said, almost to himself. "How would I even know?"

Now here is a prime example of Percy's ADHD causing him to do dumb impulsive things. Very, very dumb impulsive things such and grabbing Jason's face and kissing him. This kiss didn't last that long and Jason didn't really react. He simply sat there while Percy pressed their lips together just long enough for butterflies to explode inside his stomach. He pulled away and stared at Jason. "Did you feel anything?"

Jason stared at him, mouth slightly opened and eyes wide. He was breathing hard and his face was red. Percy tried his best to read his expression, but he couldn't figure it out. Jason finally opened his mouth to speak when-

"Boys, dinner's ready."

Jason:

Jason picked through his food, trying his hardest not to look at Percy. His mind was still reeling from the kiss. He had not expected Percy to do that. He had also really not expected to like it. "Did you feel anything?" Jason wanted to scream "OF COURSE!" But he couldn't manage to form words.

How had he never realized he's gay? The thought had never crossed his mind...

But now that Percy had suggested it... It was like he was trying to solve a fill-in-the-blank puzzle, but the words didn't make any sense until Percy had suggested the correct word and then everything fell into place.

"So Jason, you've been going to school here for a while?" Sally asked, pulling Jason out of his thoughts.

"Uh, yea" he said "since freshman year and lived in this town my whole life."

"That's nice" Sally said "I'm hoping Percy can finish out High School here."

"I will mom" Percy said, sounding as if he got this a lot from her. "Grace here will keep me afloat in chemistry."

Jason nodded. Sally smiled at him and stood up. "Well I'll clean up in here, why don't you boys go into the living-room and finish up your homework."

Percy mumbled a thanks and they went back into the living room. Percy pulled out his worksheet and started asking Jason questions, but this time it was Jason who couldn't focus.

Percy scribbled an answer on his paper and held it up proudly. "Is this right?"

Jason smiled. "Yea, but it's spelled wrong" he said "also why did you kiss me?" He tried to make the last part sound casual, but the words came flying out his mouth.

Percy frowned. Apparently he didn't plan on talking about it. "So you could figure out if you're gay" he said simply.

"So... it was just a friend helping out a friend?" he asked.

Percy scratched the back of his head. "Yea... a friend" he said quietly.

They sat in silence for a while before Jason cleared his throat and sat up. "So, chemistry?"

Percy nodded. "Chemistry."

They've got lots of chemistry *wink wink* Hope you liked this chapter! Please review and tell me what you thought!
