Jason:
After Zeus knows how long of some heavy making out Jason and Percy finally broke apart and Jason sunk back against the bed and tried to make his brain function again. He'd had a lot of information thrown at him in the past couple hours.
Percy lied down next to him and wrapped an arm around his waist. He hummed and snuggled his face close to Jason's. "Well" he declared "that was fun."
Jason let out a long breath as a form of answer.
Percy lifted his head to meet Jason's eyes and Jason looked away. "Are you alright?" he asked after a long moment of silence.
Jason stared at him. "I don't know."
Percy absently drew circles on Jason's stomach. "Should I be apologizing?" he asked.
Jason shook his head. "No- Well, maybe... I don't know I need some time to process everything" he said.
"What do you mean by everything?" Percy asked.
"I mean finding out that my best friend and my cousin are making out down stairs," Jason shivered and made a weird painful noise, "and you giving me my first blowjob directly after finding out that apparently you've sucked face with pretty much everyone."
He felt Percy tense and sit up so he wasn't touching Jason anymore. "I haven't sucked face with everyone" he gritted out.
Jason realized he seemed to have hit a nerve, but he couldn't help it. All his jealous feelings from before came rushing back in. "Well you made out with everyone at that bonfire" he said.
"No, I didn't!" Percy said, his voice starting to sound angry. "There were a lot of people there I have never touched. And a bunch of the ones I have was nothing serious, some of them were dares and some of them were just screwing around. It's not a big deal."
"Not a big deal?" Jason mocked.
"Yea, that's what I said" Percy defended. "You need to loosen up for Zeus's sake-"
"Loosen up? How should we do that, by having sex? Apparently oral sex does the job for calming down so we might as well bang" Jason shot back. As the words left his mouth he realized he was being a jerk, but he couldn't help it.
"Don't pretend you didn't want that!" Percy said. "Why can't you just admit that you're a freaking teenage boy and you want to do stuff like go to parties and get sucked off by your boyfriend? Or better yet admit that you want to get your boyfriend off?"
"I- What?" Jason asked.
"I can see the hesitance in your eyes Jas. We fool around and you glance down at my crotch, but then you look away immediately. Sometimes you even start to reach down there, but you always pull away. Tell me it's not because you think you're above stuff like that" Percy deadpanned.
"I..." Jason started, but his words died in his throat. He took a deep breath and stared at his hands. "I'm not above anything Percy. I'm just not... I'm not sure I want to be the type of person to, um... To get on their knees for some boy."
"Some boy?" Percy mocked. He stood up off the bed and shook his head. "Then what exactly does that make me, huh? What type of person am I?"
"Percy-"
"Is it because I'm a boy? Or are you like this with everyone?"
"No, it's-" Jason starts, but then he stops himself. He wanted to say it had nothing to do with the fact that Percy was a he, but then he thought about it. When Piper had made advances towards him he didn't do anything because... Well he didn't want to. With Percy there was definitely want, but there was also... What was the word?
Shame.
"Maybe" his mouth whispered without his permission. "I'm Jason Grace, I'm not supposed to do stuff like that. You- you're different Percy. You have to understand- my parents, they raised me with- with morals."
Zeus almighty.
Jason wanted to hit himself in the head with a brick. That was the worst possible word he could have used to explain his situation. He hadn't intended to imply that Percy had no morals, he was just trying to explain that his parents were... Well he didn't even know how to get into it. He stared at Percy in an attempt to gauge how angry he was.
"Screw you" Percy said, his voice almost scarily calm. The next second he was marching out of Jason's room and down the stairs.
"Percy, just listen to me!" Jason called after him as he followed him down the stairs. Percy acted as though he didn't hear him because he marched out the front door and slammed it shut behind him.
"Umm... Everything alright?"
Jason turned to see Leo and Nico on the couch. If humanly possible he got even angrier when he saw the boys were shirtless and the hickey on Nico's chest. He clenched his fists. He was so angry he felt like there should be sparks flying off of him. "Leo I swear to Zeus I will-"
"Alright, alright, alright" Leo said as he climbed off the couch and pulled on his shirt. "You're not angry at me, you're angry about whatever happened with Percy."
"I'm pretty angry with you" Jason deadpanned.
Leo rolled his eyes. "C'mon" he said "lets go upstairs and talk."
Percy:
Percy walked into his apartment and slammed the door behind him. His mom jumped from her seat on the couch. "Jeez Percy are you alright?" she asked.
"I'm fine" he gritted out, but she saw right through it.
"Sit down and talk" she instructed.
Percy groaned and collapsed onto the couch. "I had a fight with Jason" he said.
"What happened?"
Percy opened his mouth and closed it. He wasn't entirely sure how to go into this without including all the dirty details of their relationship. He simply shrunk farther into the couch and shrugged.
His mom gave him a knowing smile. "I'm going to guess it has something to do with... sex?"
"Moooom" Percy complained. She simply tilted her head at him. He sighed and ran his hands through his hair. "Kind of, but not completely. I think... I think his family might be homophobic."
His mom nodded. "And they don't know you and Jason are together?"
"No. They also don't know their nephew is also into dudes which would be funny if I wasn't so annoyed right now" Percy said. "But the point is that I think Jason believes them a little bit. He's hesitant to do... stuff and he acts like it's wrong or something."
"Well honey if that's how he was raised it's going to be difficult for him to accept himself. And you two have moved pretty fast" she told him. Percy frowned. They had moved fast. Maybe they moved too fast. Maybe this was all a big mistake. He groaned and rubbed his temples. He felt his moms hand on his shoulder. "Just give him space and then go talk to him."
"Yea okay" Percy said as he stood up. "I'm going to go lie down." He went into his room and collapsed on his bed. Percy tried to listen to what his mom had said about Jason having trouble accepting himself, but Jason's words rang in his mind. "I'm not sure I want to be the type of person to get on their knees for some boy." That had stung, but not nearly as much as "they raised me with morals."
Percy had morals. His mother raised him right, raised him to accept who he is and not act like how he was feeling was wrong. Percy groaned and rolled over in his bed. His eyes landed on the pictures he still had hung up of him and Annabeth.
She'd never talked to him like that. She'd never acted like he was dirty or something. She'd accepted his bisexuality without the blink of an eye. He missed her. He missed her so much.
Knowing it was probably a mistake, he picked up his phone and called Annabeth.
Hope ya liked this chapter! Also thanks to everyone who's given suggestions/requests for this story I'll try to work them in eventually. Some stories I have a set plan for, but for some (like this one) I'm pretty open to suggestions. Please review and tell me what you thought!
