Chapter 1: Happy?
Chapter Text
The thing about Percy is that he hates to be lied to.
He has developed a sort of sixth sense to when he is being lied to. But he isn’t the type of person to call someone out on it. He’ll try to give them the benefit of the doubt. He’s nice like that.
Another thing about Percy is that he’s kind.
He believes in people. He believes that all people everywhere can be kind, caring, and good. He feels that no matter where you started from you can rise above it and come out stronger than anyone thought you could. Even if you fall and need help getting back up, you are strong.
That might be why he respects people like Oprah and Walt Disney. Or why he loves shows like the Avatar series and Steven Universe. Or why Disney movies will always have a place in his heart.
It could be that this belief of his is why that no matter what he has gone though and no matter how broken he is that he has still been able to keep an air of innocence.
Because of this though, some people seem to think he is dumb.
Percy is far from dumb.
Growing up was difficult to say the least. Having next to no friends and teachers who turned a blind eye to bullying and barely helped him with his ADHD and dyslexia made it difficult to learn. Not to mention having a mother that he loved but was overworked and had to be out a lot of the time and a disgusting step-father who wasn’t above abusing a child who did nothing to him. It wasn’t the best but he made it through and never had to repeat a grade (Except for recently but being in a coma and fighting in a war should give him a bit of leeway).
People need to remember that he grew up in New York, in a poor area. He can and is sneaky, cunning, and resourceful. He may not like lying but he can do it better than most. He can and will get as dirty as he needs to be and lay with the devil. That doesn’t mean he won’t feel bad though.
His family and friends are people that he will always try to be kind too, he will try to never lie too, and who will have his love, loyally, and trust.
So, he doesn’t really understand what he’s looking at.
Nico, his Nico, the boy that told him in front of all their friends during the war that Percy “wasn’t his type”, then after told Percy he lied. The boy who bravely asked him out, the first time, in front of almost all of camp half blood. The boy, who when Percy said he “didn’t date little teenagers”, just nodded and said he’d prove he wasn’t. The boy, who during Percy’s repeated senior year, would ambush him with gifts and treats and promises of a lovely future together. The boy, who became strong, dependable, and courageous.
The boy, who became a man.
The man, who was with his other friends at his graduation and cheered him on when he walked. The man, who after took him to a surprise private rooftop dinner for the two of them. The man, who made him smile, laugh, and blush the whole time. The man, who after dinner kneeled in front of him, took his hands and held them close, and asked him to be his.
The man who made him happy.
The man who was there when the nightmares wouldn’t stop.
The man who understood his boundaries.
The man who held him when he cried.
The man who was there when he got his acceptance letter.
The man who would walk around his city with him.
The man who was so understanding when he had to cancel dates to study.
The man who helped de-stress him during finals and midterms.
The man who never pushed him into things.
The man who he loved.
The man who was fucking one of his best friends into the mattress.
On their anniversary.
How cliché.

Chapter Text
_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_
I stood in the doorway of Nico’s cabin, just watching.
I feel completely detached by what I’m seeing.
Nico, my boyfriend, my friend, the person that I thought would have my back, the person who I let see me venerable, crying, and breaking down, is having sex right in front of me with Jason fucking Grace.
I walk more into the cabin and close the door. They are so distracted that they don’t hear me. I keep going all the way to the bathroom, going to the sink and picking up the little cup by the faucet. The cup is blue with black little ducks on it. I bought it for him.
I fill up the cup with cold water and walk back out of the bathroom. Nico and Jason are still going at it, the panting and moaning getting louder and louder the closer I get to the bed. I take a seat on the black leather recliner, cup in hand. I went with him to pick it out. We watched movies, played games, and talked for hours in this chair. We kissed in this chair.
I focus back on the couple on the bed and just watch. Taking it all in. They’re so focused on each other. Focused on their pleasure. They look like an erotic painting Jason has his eyes closed, checks flushed, and has his head is thrown back on the pillow. And Nico looks like a-
Son of a bitch.
Son of a bitch.
Son of a bitch!
Son of a BITCH!
SON OF A BITCH!
SON OF A BITCH!
THAT FUCKING
“Son of a BITCH!”
In the next second I was back on my feet and throwing the cold water on them. They jumped apart and what would have been yells of hot anger quickly turned into yelps and frozen fear. But I didn’t care.
“You absolute son of a bitch!” I yelled as they both tried to cover their shame.
What was once a picture of eroticism was now a picture of two fumbling clowns. Jason had grabbed the blanket and was flushed for an entirely different reason now and was refusing to look up from the bed. Nico had a pillow covering his lad and was looking at me with the most pathetic look on his face.
I hate that look. He has no right to look like that.
So, I threw the cup at his face.
It nailed him in the nose.
“OW! What the fuck!” He said clutching his nose.
“Yeah, what the fuck?!” I yelled at him. I don’t think I can control my volume right now, but you know what, he deserves being yelled at. I grab the pillow off his lad and smack him with it. “What the fuck are you doing in bed with someone else! You fucker!” I yelled while still hitting him with the pillow.
Behind me, I hear the cabin door slam open but I don’t pay any attention. All I can focus on is Nico and his stupid face, looking all pathetic as if he’s the one who’s hurt. As if he’s the one who’s humiliated. As if he’s the one who walked in on the man he loves cheating on him!
The next thing I know, someone has their arms around my waist and is lifting me up and away from the bed. I struggle against the person who’s holding me, flailing, and probably giving them some good knocks in the sides, until I’m set back down on the ground and my view of the bed is blocked. I look at who is in front of me and see Frank looking back with a sombre face. Hazel is right next to him with the same look. She wraps her arms around me.
“What, in the name of Olympus, is going on?” I hear Annabeth ask. I can’t see her but I can just imagine her in all her blonde fury. She sounds pissed. She’s a good best friend.
“It’s pretty self-explanatory, Annie.” Oh, Piper’s here too. “Nico and Jason are fucking and Percy caught them.”
“Isn’t it their anniversary? That’s messed up, dudes.” No one points out the obvious quite like Leo. Good kid, though.
“Gods, this is too much right now” I heard Nico groan.
“This is too much? How about I make it real simple for you, dumbass. Are you having sex with Jason, cheating on Percy, yes or no?”
There was a pause. Then there's a tiny yes from the bed and I can’t stop myself from ripping myself away from Hazel’s arms, dipping around Frank, and throwing the pillow in my hands at Nico so hard that it knocks him on his back with a satisfying ‘thump’.
“I really hope that this was worth destroying our relationship, you bastard!”
And with that I stormed out of the cabin with a resounding ‘slam’ of the door and went to my cabin.
Notes:
Hey ya'll! So, I know it's been a long time, but this story has been on my mind for forever and I just haven't had inspiration. But I'm back now, and I've got some more ideas and I can't wait to write it and to share my little world with you all! Here's just a little warning for you all. Some of you may not like how I make Percy but this is how I'm writing him and I know that I'm probably projecting onto him but this is my story and this how I head cannon him and I already labeled this as AU so ya know lol! Until next time!
Oh and thank you all for your support! It means so much!
