Chapter 4 – Awkward interactions

Percy woke up wrapped up in the most comfortable bed he had ever slept in, with his face using Annabeth's modest chest as a pillow. Talk about fucking heaven.

It took him a minute to stir, because it was probably too comfortable. But eventually he got himself out of his utopia.

He stood and stretched, remembering yesterdays activities as he felt sore in all the right places.

He showered quickly, then got into some comfortable clothes, shorts and a simple white tee, before heading into the rest of the house in search of food.

He remembered where the kitchen was from yesterday, so he headed there to make some breakfast.

He passed hazel in the corridor and tried to greet her, but something was off.

"Hey Hazel, how are you settling in? Are you having a nice morning?" Percy asked cheerily.

But Hazel didn't say anything back, simply looking down and nodding while she tried to push past him as quickly as possible.

Percy caught her shoulders before she could get assed him, "hey what's the matter?" he asked trying to look the pretty African American girl in the eyes.

Again, she wouldn't make eye contact, but he could see a huge blush in her face.

She just shook her head furiously and pushed past him to do whatever she was going to do.

Confused, Percy shook his own head before continuing into the kitchen.

Once there he saw that two of the girls were eating breakfast, Katie and Piper.

He had always known Piper was beautiful, no matter how much she tried to sabotage her own appearance with ratty clothes or botched haircuts. She had finally decided to just accept her beauty, so she had her chocolate brown hair in a cute ponytail with her signature feather, that complemented he kaleidoscope eyes perfect. Her skin was a perfect, being a nice light brown colour that suited her perfectly.

Katie however had never had the same reputation as Piper. Looking at her now he couldn't understand why. She had incredibly inviting brown eyes that were the same colour as he straight, shoulder length hair. She might not have gotten the credit she deserved due to the slightly geeky style, but Percy thought that would be stupid.

She was much curvier than Piper, he quickly realised when looking at them. Piper had a slim frame, like her sisters. But Katie had the opposite, she wasn't fat by any means, but she had wide hips, with big curves where every guy loved staring. The only curve that Piper won was her ass, but Katie wasn't lacking in that department by any means.

The both look up when he entered the huge area, before quickly sharing a knowing smile between each other.

"Uhm good morning Katie, Piper. How are you so far?" he asked.

Katie smiled, eyes glinting "We're fine Percy how about you?"

"Yeah, I'm great. Thanks for asking."

Piper smirked, with one eyebrow raised she asked, "Sleep well Percy?"

"Yeah, great actually. Why do you ask?"

"Oh, no reason." She replied vaguely, with a shit eating grin on her face.

Something was going on, and he had no idea what it was. First Hazel now these two. Had he done something he had forgotten about?

Just as he finished his thought in walked Silena, with the same grin Piper had been wearing moments earlier. She had curled her brunette hair nicely this morning. Her baby blue eyes were shining mischievously.

"I know I told you to break your bed in with Annabeth, but I didn't expect you to actually do it!" Silena said before she burst out laughing, along with the other girls.

Percy was speechless.

"What?" Was all he could muster.

That caused another round of laughter.

He took a breath just to get his mind working again, "You heard that?" he asked knowing the answer.

"Didn't we just." Responded Piper, "The walls aren't anywhere near as thick as you would think."

"Yeah, we got an idea of what your like in bed. And can I say, we were all pretty impressed. Making someone as difficult as Annabeth cum twice? Yeah, I'd say we got pretty lucky." Silena added, with a cheeky wink.

That was too much for him to deal with. With his face doing a good impression of a tomato, he sprinted out of the kitchen to get back to Annabeth. The laughter seemed to chase him down the halls.

He burst through the door midway through Annabeth getting changed. She looked up at him with panties around her ankles, "Percy? What's the matter?" She asked, concerned.

"Erm- can you, you know, err distracting?" he replied making no sense.

"What?"

"Clothes?"

"Oh, shit. Yeah one second."

When she was finally dressed she asked again "What's up Perce?"

"They all know we had sex last night."

"So?"

That caught him off guard. Of course, they knew they has sex they had been in a relationship for 7 years. "It's not that they know that's the problem. Everything just seems awkward. Hazel won't even look at me for gods sake." He said.

"Okay, I think I understand now. You don't know how to deal with a bunch of girls your meant to have sex with, because you want to stay loyal to me." She didn't ask, she simply knew.

"Yeah, pretty much." He confirmed.

"Okay, well the way the harem works, you have to be sexually active with all your members, otherwise after a certain period they will be in excruciating pain." She said.

"There's no way around it?" He asked.

"No unfortunately not."

"So, what do we do? I'm not going to force myself on anyone, that's for damn sure."

"Let me think" She mused for a moment, "We need a meeting ASAP where everyone gets a say on how this should work. We could do some random draw but that seems demeaning." She concluded.

"Yeah, I don't think I want to do that. But what other options do we have?" He asked.

"I don't know seaweed brain. We will have to see what your concubines suggest." She said teasingly.

He showed her his middle finger for her magnificent support, just causing her to laugh and tell him to let everyone know about the meeting.

He decided the best way to start would be to go to each of the bedrooms, and then search the rest of the island for the girls he couldn't find in the rooms.

The first room he got to was Rachel, who was inside still situating herself.

She was bent over, rummaging through a box of art supplies. He usually would have looked away feeling horrible, but he couldn't help himself. Her jeans clung tightly to her ass, giving him the best view possible. He snapped himself out of it before she could catch him staring.

"Hey, Rachel" he said accidently making her jump, "Sorry! I didn't mean to surprise you."

She turned around smiling, her bright red hair tied back in a bad ass looking bandana. He green eyes shone happily, while he looked at her pretty white, freckled face. Stereotypical ginger, he thought.

"Don't worry about it Percy, just wasn't expecting anyone. What's up? She asked, smiling at him.

"I'm just letting everyone know that we are having a meeting this evening, to sort our… situation."

"Ah, I wondered when you'd get around to sorting our… situation." She replied grinning like she was the funniest thing in the world.

He just rolled his eyes. "Ha-ha." He replied sarcastically. "Just be in the movie theatre at 6:30."

"Sure, just make sure you and Annabeth don't get distracted." She winked just before he slammed her door shut.

He checked 5 rooms in a row to find no one there, before he came to Hazel's room.

He knocked "Hey you in there, Hazel?" he called.

He heard a muffled "Yeah." In response and opened the door.

What he didn't expect to see was the small girl looking like she had been crying, eyes all puffy and pink.

He took in her appearance. He had always thought she was pretty in a protective, brotherly way. He knew he would still think that had she not looked a mess due to the obvious crying. Usually she would have her curly cinnamon hair in some style, but it was left untamed today.

Her usually brilliant gold eyes, were clouded with a painful mix of anger and sadness. She was African American heritage, showed by her beautiful spotless, brown skin.

"Hey, Hazel what's the matter?"

"Nothing" she said while attempting to hide a small sniffle.

"Come on Hazel, you can tell me your problem." He said, hoping she would open up to him.

She didn't say anything for a good 30 seconds before one word escaped her mouth "Frank." She whispered.

He immediately walked across and swallowed her up in a big hug. "I'm so sorry all that happened to you Hazel. None of it was your fault, I hope you know that." He said with his chin on her shoulder while he rubbed her back comfortingly.

She started crying quietly, so Percy just held her whilst she let her emotions out. By the end his shirt was pretty wet. When she stopped he let her go, as gently as possible.

"I'll leave you for now, just know that we are having a meeting at 6:30 in the movie theatre."

With that he when to the next room to find Reyna reading what look like an old strategy book.

She had her signature long black braid, going nicely over her left shoulder. Her Hispanic descent meant she had a nice tan looking complexion. Her eyes were as black and piercing as he remembered. She was obviously very beautiful.

"Reyna" she looked up from her book with eyebrows raised.

"Hey, why are you in my room?" she got straight to the point as usual.

"I'm just letting everyone know about the meeting at 6:30, movie theatre."

"What's it about?"

"Everyone's situation." He replied with a small blush.

"Yeah that's probably wise" she responded with a small grin. "I feel like I should be happy. Being with you was all I thought if for a while. But I'm undecided on whether I should be happy or angry."

Percy didn't know what to say. He settled on "I picked you because I knew I could get along with you, not because your beautiful.

The Hispanic girl started blushing. "Thanks for that Percy." She said while smiling gratefully.

He said goodbye to Reyna before finding Zoe with Bianca in Bianca's room.

"Hey, I just wanted to inform you guys of a meeting. 6:30 in the movie theatre"

"And what is the meeting about, Perseus?" Zoe asked.

"I'm trying to clarify the situation, you clearly aren't comfortable with." He replied, a light blush on his cheeks.

"Can you blame!" Zoe shrieked, "I was a maiden for over 2000 years and now because of some stupid ploy by Zeus to try get out of his consequences, I'm a fucking concubine!"

Percy flinched at that. He hated that description of the girls. It made them sound like property, rather than friends who he had shared many fond times with.

"I don't blame you Zoe" Percy said gently, "but I've already explained why I picked you. I can only apologise and hope that you can grow more comfortable."

Bianca pulled Zoe into a hug, before looking at Percy with a strange mix of anger and pity.

"So, you understand, we were true maidens." Bianca explained, "That means we haven't even properly kissed boys before."

He shouldn't have been, but he was surprised. Neither seemed to want to look at him anymore and both had gotten a little pink faced.

"Okay, I'm not going to demand you fuck me before you have even learnt to kiss." He explained, "There's no reason to be embarrassed if you needed some help. I want to take things slowly with you both."

This seemed to comfort them, as the finally looked up at him. The both had a small smile.

"Thanks for being so understanding" Bianca said while Zoe nodded in agreement.

"It's no problem. You two were the last of my choices, not because you aren't attractive, you both are, but because I didn't want to put you in this situation." He explained. "But it was a choice between yourselves, or some sluts from camp who made me super uncomfortable."

Zoe nodded at his honesty, "Okay. As long as you give us our space, I will try to be less hostile to you." He smiled and nodded at this, "But if you say or do one inappropriate thing before we are ready, be prepared to accept the consequences!"

He gulped at her threat, he knew how capable the hunters of Artemis were. "Sure," He agreed, "If I do anything inappropriate, feel free to kick my ass." He said throwing them a nervous grin.

With that sorted, he said his goodbyes, before looking for the rest of the girls.

Another chapter down. For those of you looking just for lemons, I'm not just going to have characters who wouldn't be comfortable yet doing anything sexual with him. All the characters, plus a few who will be introduced later will have sex with Percy at least once. Hope you all enjoyed!

Yolo – I'm glad you liked it. All the characters will be as close as I can keep them to their original self's. If they seem to be out of character, it should be explained. Thanks for the support!

Roger – Critiquing character development or plot is pointless, as you have no idea what is going to happen. If you don't like it fair enough, you don't have to read it. I'm not forcing you to.

Darkmist – Thanks for the idea! I think I will adopt that, I have already started writing Drew's work and your suggestion could slide in seamlessly, don't expect to see that in a while though.

Thanks to all the support! If you'd like you can follow and favourite. If you have an idea, I'm willing to listen to all suggestions, I wont use them all, but if it seems like it fits the story I could add it in. See you all on Friday!
