Percy:
Percy dug into his cereal and tried to ignore his mother and stepfather staring at him. He glanced up to see they both still had that creepy blank stare on their faces. They'd been doing this all morning. Just sitting across from Percy sipping on coffee and staring as he ate his cereal. Eventually, he couldn't take it anymore so he calmly set down his spoon and looked up to meet there eyes before yelling "WHAT?"
Paul jumped and spilled his coffee, but his mom held her ground. "We wanted to talk to you" she said.
Percy narrowed his eyes. "About what exactly?" he asked.
"About this new boy in your life" his mom said, and Percy groaned and lied his head down on the table.
"Mom" he complained "do we have to?"
"Yes" his mom insisted. "I heard your little speech the other day about liking him."
Percy lifted his head from the table. "You were listening?"
"Yes" she said "and it was very sweet. Well, except for the part about touching his butt." Percy bit his lip and stared at his food. "Anyways if this boy is going to be your boyfriend then-"
"Mom" Percy said "I don't even know if he's my boyfriend or not. We never technically said it. Plus, if we are, what's it matter?" Percy sighed and looked down at his food. "It's because he's a boy isn't it?" he said dramatically "you don't approve... I can't be around you right now!" Percy dramatically stood up out of his chair in an attempt to escape, but his mom just started laughing.
"Perseus Jackson sit down."
Percy groaned and sat back down. "Okay, fine!" he said. "I guess that was a lame attempt to avoid this talk. You've never cared that I date guys some times. You've always accepted me. Have I ever thanked you for that? You're such a great mom I-"
"Percy!"
"Fine! I'm done changing the subject."
"Good" she said "now we need to talk about the little scene I walked in on the other day." Percy's cheeks turned pink. "I just want to make sure that you're... being smart and safe."
"Ughh mom" Percy complained once again. "You know that I've had- that I'm not..." Percy glanced awkwardly at Paul who seemed just as uncomfortable as he was. "You know I'm not a virgin" he practically whispered.
"I know," Sally said "but I just wanted to remind you that you still need to use condoms even if it's with a boy and you don't need to rush into anything. You're still young and-"
"We're not doing anything!" Percy blurted out. He didn't think he could survive this talk any longer. "Look, Jason's a virgin, okay? So I'm going to wait as long as he needs, and Zeus knows how long that'll be. He just figured out he's gay I'm not going to jump his bones. Gods mom, what type of person do you think I am?"
Sally laughed and grabbed Percy's hand. "A very good one" she said "I just worry."
"Yea, I know" Percy said "but when Jason comes over tonight can you keep the sex talk to a minimum?"
She gave a small shrug. "We'll see."
Jason:
That night, Percy insisted they go see a movie. Apparently he was a huge Jurassic Park fan and was super excited for Jurassic World. The evening had been going pretty well until Percy tried to pay for both their tickets and the food.
"Dude, you're not paying for me" Jason defended.
"Dude, I asked you out" Percy insisted as he shoved a twenty into the cashier's hand.
"Well, it's not like this is a date" Jason said, but then Percy's face fell. "Oh... is this a date?" Percy gave a slow nod. "Alright, well... I'm paying for the next one."
Percy smiled and grabbed their drinks from the cashier. She smiled at them and said "you two are an adorable couple."
"Thanks" Percy said as he took Jason's hand. Jason forced a smile and grabbed the popcorn. He glanced around to see if people were staring at them. It's not like Jason didn't want people to know he's gay, it's just... Jason took his hand from Percy's and used it to balance the popcorn.
"I'm so excited" Percy rambled as they walked into the theater. "It's guna be awesome, and then after we can go hang out at my apartment. My mom and Paul are going to be out pretty late so we'll have to apartment to ourselves."
"Oh... cool" Jason awkwardly sat down next to Percy in the back of the theater. Was Percy expecting something to happen between them?
Percy gave slight nod as he sipped his coke and slipped an arm around Jason's shoulders. "Bro I'm taller than you shouldn't I put my arm around you?" he asked, not liking Percy acting like the manlier one in this situation.
"Nah dude" Percy said "I like it better this way."
"Well I don't!" Jason defended.
The boys stared at each other for a long moment, neither of them backing down. Jason didn't want to know what would happen when it came down to deciding who would do what when they have sex. After what seemed like forever Percy started laughing. "We could hold hands?"
Jason smiled. "Yea, I guess that's okay" he said.
Percy took Jason's hand in his and started bouncing his leg up and down as the movie started. Jason found himself hardly watching the movie and watching Percy instead. He was so into the movie, his eyes wide and he occasionally made weird noises of excitement. When the movie finally ended Percy turned to look at Jason. "Did you like it?" he asked.
Jason grinned. "Yea, it was pretty great" he said as they walked hand in hand to Percy's car.
When they got there instead of getting into the car Percy leaned against his car. "Thanks for coming with me" he said.
Jason shifted his weight, but he stepped a little closer to Percy in the process. "It was fun" he said "but I'm paying for the next one."
Percy rolled his eyes and smiled. "There's going to be a lot of issues like this in our relationship, isn't there?"
"Most likely" Jason said.
"We'll figure it out" Percy practically whispered as he leaned forward and kissed Jason.
Jason melted into the kiss and put his hands on Percy's waist, pressing him against the car. Percy put his hands on Jason's shoulders and pressed their bodies against each other's. He felt Percy's tongue press against his lips, so he parted them to grant him access.
"You've got to be kidding me."
Jason broke the kiss and turned to see Piper and Hazel standing a few feet away. Jason opened his mouth to say something, but nothing came out. "Er- hey Piper" Percy said awkwardly.
"No, no, no" Piper said "I could believe Jason being gay, but Percy you were hard in thirty seconds when we were making out!"
Jason turned to Percy. "When you were what?"
Percy held up his hands. "It's not what it sounds like" he said "and Piper I- uh- I'm bi so..."
"Piper, can I talk to you for a second?" Jason asked as he placed his hand on her arm. Piper gave a slight nod and they walked a few cars away from Percy and Hazel. They were silent for a while before Jason blurted out "I'm sorry you found out that way." She kept staring at the ground so Jason continued. "I didn't know I was gay when we were together, I swear" he said "I wouldn't have strung you along if I knew."
Piper gave him a small smile. "I don't know how I didn't see it" she said.
"I feel ya" Jason agreed, earning a small laugh from Piper.
"I'm still kind of bitter and jealous, but I guess I'm happy for you" she said.
"Thanks Piper" he said, but she shoved him playfully.
"But only because you and Percy are both gorgeous and you two together is hot" she laughed.
"Pipes!" Jason exclaimed as he playfully shoved her back.
"Sorry" she giggled.
"So can we be friends?" Jason asked, and Piper nodded.
"Yea," she said "friends."
Jason looked over at Percy and smiled. He was waving his hands around and talking to Hazel, probably about the movie. Jason couldn't help but think how adorable he looked. Piper put her hand on his shoulder. "C'mon" he said "you need to get back to loverboy."
Jason smiled. "Whatever Pipes" he said, and together they walked back to Percy.
