San Francisco, California

Nico never used the just chatting category. That was weird. Nico also never streamed with other people there, at least in person. That was also weird. Nico had also never addressed something of this magnitude before. Everything about the stream was weird.

Hazel had texted him insisting that she and Percy be with him on stream to threaten people for him so that he would be seen as the most charitable among them and come across the best online. Nico, quite honestly, didn't have the energy to protest.

"How about, 'Wtf reddit?'" Percy suggested.

"But I like, 'Personal Boundaries 101' better."

Nico had yet to change the title from, "Catching up, then Subnautica" to any of Percy and Hazel's suggestions. "Why can't I just keep this one?"

"Then you have to keep streaming and listen to speculation the whole time." Percy dismissed it with a wave of his hand. "If you're not going to lecture them, at least delete the promise of regular content. You can change to that later if you decide to keep streaming."

"Fine." He deleted part of it. "Ready?"

"Why are you asking us?"

Nico rolled his eyes. "Then let's go live."

Never in his life had his heart beat faster than the moment that people sped into the chat. His mods knew what he was going to be doing beforehand, and were watching like a hawk for anything even slightly close to speculation as to who his boyfriend was, having been informed it was an automatic ban. He felt like he hadn't moved in the eternity between clicking on 'Start Stream,' and now.

Hazel leaned over his shoulder, "Hi chat! Bet you weren't expecting us!" She grinned. Nico knew it wasn't for chat, she was beyond livid with them. Her positivity washed over him, letting him slightly let go of his anxiety.

He tried to answer questions about anything besides the photos. Percy and Hazel jumped in and out of meaningless stories he was telling chat, doing everything he could to delay the actual purpose of the stream. He could feel his stomach turn as we pulled up a twitter thread with the pictures in it. "I'm sure this is what you've all been waiting for," Nico said. "Let's talk about this."

"Y'all are disgusting!" Percy called from behind them both, Joy, the eternally grumpy black feline in his lap, petting her like a supervillain.

Nico winced. "It's fine, Percy-"

Hazel narrowed her eyes. Percy raised an eyebrow incredulously. "No it's not."

"It's really not." Hazel managed to portray a peaceful mediator. Nico knew that if he made eye contact she was anything but. "Percy and I are just here to make sure Nico doesn't go easy on you, because it doesn't matter if you didn't post it, if you were stirring the pot the whole time and blowing it out of proportion, you're part of the problem."

"Period!" Percy called from the back.

The mods switched the chat to subscriber only. Nico smiled despite his attempts to remain serious. "Hazel's right."

"As usual."

"So. There's been a lot of rumors flying around about me, about some photos allegedly of me that were posted on reddit."

"Shame!" Percy decried.

Nico took a deep breath. "They are of me. They're pictures of me and my boyfriend, whom I will not be naming. You all have already forced me to come out, I'm not going to be doxxing someone very dear to me."

He glanced at the sticky note that he had jotted down his points onto. "In no way is posting those pictures okay, and even just taking them is a violation of privacy. I didn't have any plans to come out as gay on the internet, because I don't think that my sexuality is relevant to my content, and I'm a pretty private person. So here you go everyone, I've addressed it, and now I'm moving on from it. If you keep bringing it up in chat, just know that I will be ignoring it, and any speculation as to who my boyfriend is or attempts at doxxing him will be met with an automatic lifetime ban."

"Whoo!" Joy leapt down from Percy's lap, disgruntled with his sudden call-outs.

"Now that we've gotten that out of the way….let's play Subnautica."

"Your favorite person is here!"

Annabeth raised an eyebrow. Percy and Hazel were both at Nico and Reyna's. She scooched away from the table and poked her head out the door of her room. "Hazel? You're back already?"

She rounded the corner into the kitchen and was face to face with…Piper.

"Annabeth!" Piper seemed just as confused to see Annabeth as Annabeth was to see her. "Why are you….I mean, when did you get here?"

"Late last night. Percy begged me to bring Mrs.O'Leary. Why are you here?"

"Oh, um, I heard Percy was going to Sonoma to see Jason and that I was going to miss him while he was in California so I was just going to surprise him and go get food before he leaves but-"

"You just missed him, he and Hazel are streaming with Nico today, and he's going from there straight to the train station. I'm sorry Piper."

Piper laughed. "But hey, it means I got to meet you in person! That makes up for it!"

Annabeth grinned. "Little old me? Hardly an excuse for missing one of your best friends." She shuffled her feet.

"You'll have to go to dinner with me instead, then, so the reservations just go to waste."

"No, wait, I bet I can get him to make a stop before he leaves. You wanted to see your friend, I'm sure we can get this figured out. I'll call Reyna, one sec…"

"Anyway, I tried to use it as an opportunity to slyly ask her out but she rejected me, so that's that on that." Piper scooped up another dollop of ketchup with a McDonald's fry and stared at it like it had personally offended her.

Percy rolled his eyes. "You seem so calm about this."

"I'm so calm."

"Very calm."

"Perfectly calm." Piper agreed. "But it's not that big a deal, sure I liked her, but she doesn't feel the same way. At least she didn't lead me on or anything."

"Fucking liar. What's up?"

"Okay, but while we were waiting for you, she's just chatting me up like she didn't just break my heart."

"I thought it wasn't a big deal."

"It's not, shut up. And then she goes on about how long I'll be here, and I just…I don't even know. Does she like me or not? And then there's the whole, "Oh, I accidentally called you like that isn't the oldest trick in the sapphic book, right next, 'let's compare hand sizes.'"

"Accidental call?"

"Girl, she's like, 'Oh, I just wanted to open the chat, not call you.'"

"For what it's worth, I'm pretty sure she didn't know you were trying to ask her out."

"Be for real, Percy, I've been flirting so hard you'd have to be brain dead to not realize it, and she's literally the smartest person I know."

"Leo would cry if he heard that."

"Leo can get over it."

"Annabeth is book smart, but she's also so fucking oblivious, you could say to her face, 'I am flirting with you,' and she'd ask, 'As a friend?'"

"Wow."

"Yeah. Is Jason allergic to anything?"

"Dairy. Why?"

"I'm assuming you're taking both Hazel and Annabeth back to LA with you now, so I'm taking my dog with me to Sonoma." Percy checked his phone.

"He loves dogs, you're good."

"Good lord, I told him I was taking a later train."

"He's excited you're coming to see him?"

"Sure, let's go with that. Are being oblivious and being blonde related? Because I've been flirting at that man for at least six months."

Piper took a long sip while she considered it.

"Yes."

Percy's train was late. Jason's finger tapped his finger on the open pages of his book impatiently, not taking in any of the words. He'd put his phone away, continually rechecking the messages wasn't helping.

He'd also said he was going to stop checking his phone at least four other times in the past thirty minutes of waiting.

Piper aka Piper

Jason

Don't laugh at me

Jason

But do you like guys and girls different amounts?

Piper

Oh god yes

Piper

But i'm pretty sure i'm not even bi and i'm just into women

Piper

Thanks for teaching me that btw ?

Jason

How did you figure it out?

Piper

I mean, i think that everyone is pretty

Piper

But I don't actually really like kissing guys

Jason

Huh

Jason

Ok

waterboy aka perseus

waterboy

I'm heeeeere

waterboy

Come find Lea and I

waterboy

Nevermind i see you

Jason scanned the crowd of people getting off the train, spotting Percy and a massive and extremely fluffy all black Bernese Mountain Dog. His heart thumped faster in his chest. Because he really liked dogs, clearly, and not because of the man she was dutifully plodding beside.

"Jesus Christ it's late, you didn't have to wait up for me."

"Why wouldn't I?" Jason said before he even registered the words. "I mean, I made you come to Sonoma so it'd be rude not to. Besides," he rambled on, "I had a good book to read and you brought this cutie," He knelt down to pet Mrs. O'Leary, who broke out into a doggy smile as he scratched behind her ears, "so it's all good!"

"You didn't even know she'd be coming." Jason looked up. Percy was smiling at him.

"So maybe I was excited to see you too. You're right, it's late, let's go."


August 15, 2019, 12:01

Los Angeles, California

"Welcome to my humble abode! The only rule is that we have to have a better time in LA than Percy is in Sonoma so he feels bad about not coming."

Piper led Hazel and Annabeth into her house and directed them to guest rooms to get settled in. She had a lot to get caught up with before they went out, not the least of which was the pile of packages that were stacked on the table. By the time Hazel emerged from the hallway, Piper was surrounded by several layers of packaging, a little box, a bag of cat litter, cat food, several cat toys, and a smattering of other accouterments for the care and keeping of kittens.

"You don't even have a cat yet."

"That changes today. I want them to have everything that the most spoiled cat in the world could need."

"I'd recommend maybe putting some…a lot of it for now until they get used to you. And the space. You want them to be comfortable, not to overwhelm them."

"You're so smart." Annabeth walked back into the room. Piper ripped open the last package. "Oh my god, I forgot I ordered this." She pulled the pink, orange, and white fabric from the plastic and shook it out, revealing the stripes. "I think I'm just going to replace the bi one with this and not address it further."

"I like it. Poor Jason, though, what does it say about him that dating him made you realize."

"More like dating a man in general. I think he'll get over it."

The two cats were fully intertwined when one vaguely opened an eye to stare at Piper.

It was perhaps the scrappiest cat in the entire shelter. Piper loved it on sight. It had a couple tufts of grey fur missing, a tear in its left ear, several crooked whiskers, and two lamp-like yellow eyes.

The scrappy cat vehemently refused to leave the side of the heterochromic calico, the staff informed her. So the three women left the shelter with two cats rather than one.

Sonoma, California

Kissing guys was so much better than kissing girls.

Jason's brain kept repeating it over and over in every spare moment between breaths. He didn't know how the hell they had started, and he was not about to stop anytime soon. Percy was too goddamn hot. And he was on Jason's couch. More specifically, he was on top of Jason, on the couch with his tongue down his throat and a hand groping ever lower. As far as Jason was concerned, that was the only place he ever wanted to be.

Jason had his hands in Percy's hair reveling in slipping his fingers between the tangles. Percy may have a hand on Jason's dick, but god, just pulling his head closer felt more intimate. This was everything. Percy kissed along his jaw, and down his neck and it was addicting, the way he smelled, the way his hands moved across Jason, nothing like anything he and Piper had ever done. He came embarrassingly quickly.

Something in the very back of his mind said, That doesn't mean you're gay though. Friends do this to each other all the time.

Shut up Jason thought back, rolling the two of them over so that he could shower Percy with kisses all over his stupid perfect face. I am so gay for Percy Jackson.

Have you been deflowering my dear friend Perseus?
