     ‘Surprise!’
     He discovered that the path brought him outside the protection
     barriers of camp.
     What he didn’t expect exactly, was Leo and Piper shooting bursts of
     blue and silver confetti on his face and the roars of laughter coming
     from a crowd.
     Strong arms wrapped around his midriff and all he could see was the
     vast sky getting closer.

***** Jelly Beans *****
The sun was halfway ascended to its peak when he realised that today were of
hazy memories of blue cookies and hot cocoa.
The wafting smell of chocolate and honey-crusted candy, the gentle sounds of
his mother's soft chidings. 
The pleasant breeze of the chilly air, the calming scent of the sea. 
And the glow of a smile, the warmth of a kiss. 
Percy yawned widely before burying his face into his pillow once more. 
Nope, on the contrary, it didn't ring a bell at all. And he was too sleepy to
bother with the calendar. Or the alarm clock, for that matter.
But it did bother him when there was a consistent series of knocks on his
cabin's door, very likely not to stop anytime sooner. 
He threw the pillow in a futile attempt to shut the accursed sounds off.
'I'm gonna knock this door down, Seaweed Brain. For the last time, get your ass
off the bed!'
'Ten more minutes,' he managed to groan.
Of course that wouldn't suffice. Even in the best of his days, it was only
after the sun had risen so high did he manage to crawl away to the bathroom.
He almost drifted off to another dreamless sleep when the entire door shuddered
and groaned. He slowly lifted his head up just in time to see the poor piece of
wood got blown off its hinges by Annabeth. 'Look what you've done. Now who's
gonna fix the fucking door.'
It didn't even sound like half a question.
'Percy, it's half past eight, for gods' sakes.'
'Hm. I should have another hour of sleep, then.'
'Oh, you wouldn't wanna be late today.' Annabeth sing-songed as she opened the
curtains to let in the morning light. 'Reyna, Hazel, Frank and the usual bunch
are going to come over from New Rome at ten.'
'And?' 
'And they're coming for your sake, Seaweed Brain,' Annabeth whacked his head
with her book. 'A lot of activities to be done in schedule today. You wouldn't
wanna miss that.'
'Uh-huh'. Percy finally, slowlyrose up, kicking off his fluffy baby blue
blanket and stretching his arms up. His eyes flickered to Annabeth, catching
her staring at his bare body before smirking when she pretended to look
elsewhere. 
Well, things between him and his Wise Girl are good as over now.
'Been working out lately, actually. Like what you see?' he chuckled in
amusement.
Annabeth gave him the evil eye. 'Bathroom. Now. Or no blue jelly beans for a
week.'
Percy went into the bathroom faster than Annabeth could even finish her
sentence.
                                    |||*|||
It was not really a surprise, actually, to find the mess hall deserted. Most
campers had probably start off their scheduled routine for the day. Only a few
were still lounging on their tables eating breakfast, and Percy supposed that
it was really late by then. Undeterred, he gazed all over his surrounding and
spotted two familiar figures eating at the Hades table.
'Morning, Will. Hey, Nico.' He took a seat next to the grinning blonde, waving
at the son of Hades as he set his meal on the table. The boy merely nodded with
the tiniest hint of a smile. Will, however, was patting his back with an
affectionate gaze. 'Morning, Perce. Today's a big day, huh?'
'Heard that the Romans gonna come over today. I wonder if they want a Capture
the Flag rematch or something.'
'Or something.' Will sounded positively sure of himself. Percy hummed in
acknowledgement as he sipped his milk tea. He was taking a bite of his pancake
before realising that Nico was giving him an incredulous look. This was odd.
Percy decided to be courteous. And careful.
'How's it going, Neeks?' 
'Better off without you.' The deadpan almost made him choke.
'Oh, dear. Nico, go easy on him, will you?' Will chided his boyfriend gently,
helping Percy chug his drink for relief. This time, Nico did smile a little as
the blonde reached out to stroke his cheek. 'Whatever you say, Solace.'
Realisation dawned upon him that he was indirectly disturbing a couple's
morning. 'Um, I think I better get going.'
'Nonsense, at least finish your food.' Another deadly glare from Nico and he
obediently did as he was told.
                                    |||*|||
A note was all he got when Percy arrived at the empty amphitheatre. ‘To our
biggest Seaweed Brain, huh?’ he read.
                       Follow the path ridden with blue
                   You shall find a surprise waiting for you
'Okay, what's going on here?'
A quick walk around the place and he saw what the lines meant. A line of blue
petals, scattered on the ground, was decorating the pathway that leads to the
nearest borders of camp. He heaved in a sigh and set off. It was half past
eleven, but no, there was not a single Roman or Greek in sight. A few, perhaps,
but none that he was close to.
This suspiciously smelled like a prank.
The lowly leaves casted shadows on the ground, and the occasional beams of
sunlight filtering through the thick canopy of the trees, betrayed the signs of
a beautiful day. There was a sudden gust of wind billowing on Percy’s face when
he noticed that the path was now slightly different.
Tainted by sinners, so it seemed.
‘What kind of monster dares to do this crime,’ he grunted through gritted teeth
as he picked at an innocent blue jelly bean squashed beyond recognition. The
ground was now littered with an assortment of blue sweets instead of petals,
and Percy found himself balling his hands into fists.
That’s it. When he meets the culprit, they will know the taste of Riptide
slicing through their flesh.
***** Blue Confettis *****
‘Surprise!’
He discovered that the path brought him outside the protection barriers of
camp.
What he didn’t expect exactly, was Leo and Piper shooting bursts of blue and
silver confetti on his face and the roars of laughter coming from a crowd. He
was about to reach for Riptide when the bothersome strips of flashy paper
cleared off to reveal the smiling faces of almost everybody he knew, cheering
and clapping at his arrival.
A few groaned when Percy scratched the back of his head in confusion. ‘I’m
sorry, but what are you guys on about?’
The oracle Rachel sighed mockingly, but her eyes shone of nothing but fondness.
‘Seriously, Perce. It’s the eighteenth of August!’ She placed a paper crown on
his head as everyone shout, ‘Happy birthday, Seaweed Brain!’
The situation was super absurd that he laughed over his own idiocy. ‘Whoa, you
guys can't get more awesome than this, can you? Man, I supposed it’s not that
surprising that I forgot my own birthday, huh.’ He managed to let out an
apologetic chuckle. Several people whooped and laughed good-naturedly.
‘As expected from you, Percy.’ Annabeth giggled quietly as she came to his side
and grabbed his arm. ‘Come on, Sally’s here.’
The hull of the Argo II glittered in the afternoon light as the music began to
play and the celebration started with flourish and happiness. A few canopies
were set up, shaded by the gigantic trireme, as guests began to laugh and
dance, their cheerful voices lifting his spirit and carving a smile on his
lips.
‘Percy, over here!’ A familiar voice called him. The tone, soft and loving,
widened his smile even more before he even saw the face of the owner. ‘Mum!’
Sally Blofis was placing a candle shaped like the number eighteen on an
enormous blue birthday cake, with Paul setting up the chair to the table by her
side. She spread her arms and Percy embraced her with laughter.
‘Look at you, my baby's all grown big and strong.' She was beaming with pride
when she let go of her only son, tiptoeing just a tad to kiss his forehead. A
look at her ageing face and her beautiful eyes, her look so demure gazing
through him, and Percy was overcame with emotion. ‘Gods, Mum, this is
everything.’
‘Oh, thank you, sweetheart, but the real mastermind is none other than
Annabeth.’ The blonde saluted and bowed, prompting a round of laughter from the
small family. 'Pleasured to be at your service.’
‘Paul, it’s nice to see you.’ He took a moment to hug his stepfather, who
seemed surprised and pleased at the same time. ‘How are you, son?’ His eyes
crinkled in delight behind his glasses as he pat Percy’s shoulder.
‘Never been better.’ He held both of his parents’ hand. ‘There’s nothing better
that I could wish for.’
‘What about me, then, my boy?’
Gasping quietly, he turned around and took in the sight of the Bermuda shirt,
the well-built body and the eyes very much like his own. A halo of light
encircled the man’s tall frame, the trident he’s holding emitted off a powerful
aura. Everyone was on their knees in a matter of seconds.
‘Lord Poseidon, it’s an honour for you to join us.’
‘Really now, everyone. Back to your feet and continue the party! Don’t mind me
here.’ He faced the small family once more and said, ‘Well?’ Grinning, Percy
hugged him so hard that the god of the seas let out a small ‘oof’. ‘Of course I
won’t forget you, Dad. I’d never.’
Poseidon smiled. ‘Thank you, son.’
‘So, Poseidon, how’s Amphitrite?’ Sally piped in, smiling in earnest. Always
the charming lady, she was. ‘Ah, caused a few storms here and there, helping up
with those coral reef but really, how are you, Sally?’ To be honest, the lord
of the oceans should really take his subjects off his mind now. It’s his
favourite son’s birthday, after all.
It was not long before the adults were deeply immersed in conversation,
catching up with each other in times both old and good.
‘Okay, so we better leave the grown-ups in peace. You’ve got to meet everyone,
birthday boy. Come on.’
***** Laughter (and Some Tears) *****
Chapter Notes
     Clearing off some things and attempting feelings.
The shutter of the camera whirred to life and everyone cheered.
The birthday song has ended and the candle was blown, and the closest ones to
Percy huddled together for a group photo. And after he cut a piece for the sake
of tradition, well, the party went on as usual (or rather, as wild) as a
birthday party would go, and Percy didn’t miss the satisfied smile playing on
Annabeth’s face.
But truly, there was something magical fluttering about in the air of the
party.
Like how the afternoon was of green, brown and gold yet colourful all the same,
and the slanting sunlight reflecting a bit too bright on the surfaces of
balloons and flower bouquets, and the lilting songs of the nymphs felt a bit
outlandish yet enchanting in the ears.
'Beautiful, isn't it?' The view was of the valley of pine trees and flowing
creeks, a scenery of alarming calmness and tranquillity.
'You outdo yourself yet again, Wise Girl.'
'Well, I missed you, Seaweed Brain.' 
'And me too.' He held the girl's hand and gently brushed away stray curls of
golden locks off her face. The atmosphere between them grew quiet.
'Annabeth, I'm sorry for everything. I was always being an idiot and yet you
still did everything for me. Our breakup, well, it was all me, okay? And I
should've never act so -,'
'Percy, stop. Tartarus happened, and it was inevitable. I've foreseen this, and
it was never your fault to begin with. It was only a matter of time before we
did, hm?' She paused, before continuing her words. 'You're an adorable idiot,
by the way.'
He hummed in agreement. 'And you'll always be my sister in everything but
blood.'
'You too, bro. Ew, I sound like Jason.' They both burst into laughter.
'So I heard my name, yeah, and I'd like to know why.' 
Percy turned around to find Jason standing behind them, arms crossed and one
golden eyebrow raised. The sight of his bro never failed to send a pleasant
warmth tingling through his stomach, and he grinned brightly at that. 'Mostly
about you and your attraction of bricks.'
Jason punched him playfully on the shoulder before enveloping Percy into a hug.
'Happy birthday, dude.'
'Thanks.' The blonde placed his arm around Percy's shoulders as Annabeth
beckoned them to join in the festivities.
Leo was sharing a plate of sweet shortcake with Calypso, who threaded a flower
crown of blue baby breaths, lilies and mint leaves for Percy, enchanted to
last. As she placed it upon his head together with the paper one, she twirled
her caramel braid with her nimble fingers and managed an awkward smile.
'I'm sorry for cursing your loved ones, Percy Jackson. I felt nothing but
betrayal back then, but now I truly believed that good things come to those
wait.' She casted a meaningful glance towards her beloved Latino. 'And then he
came along.'
Leo puffed his chest up with pride.
'But still, Calypso, I owe you an apology. I shouldn't have -.' The daughter of
Atlas raised her hand up to silence him. She still brought about the air of an
Ogygian queen around her, except that now she's a free soul. She gave a
sisterly kiss on Percy's cheek and offered her blessings. Annabeth smiled from
the side lines. She had long lost the romantic feelings for Percy to feel
jealous.
'Thank you, Percy Jackson, for the great company I had, when I was alone and
lost. May the Fates offer the best for you in life.'
'No, I should thank youfor our times.' He turned to face the son of Hephaestus.
'Leo, we're cool?'
'I always am, dude. Don't know about you.' Leo said it so smugly that they
can't help but laughed.
Hazel and Frank gave him a tight bear hug (with Frank literally being a bear)
before saying their congratulations and offering their presents. The daughter
of Pluto was experimenting with a camera she recently bought, and was
familiarising with the concept of ‘selfie’. Her golden brown curls glittered
like toasted bread as she thanked Percy for the adventures they had.
'Frank and I would never have a good friend like you anywhere else. We'd never
be as good as we are now without you, honestly.'
Percy chuckled and ruffled Frank's hair, standing on his toes to do so. 'Nah,
You both are destined to be heroes, even without me, okay? Be proud of that.'
After that, they passed by a dancing Grover, who bleated out his
congratulations while attempting to impress the crowd and his girlfriend
Juniper. Chuckling, Percy yelped when Thalia hit him with a blue jelly bean
right in the forehead. He suddenly had a realisation. 
'Wait. Who had that sick idea of leaving precious sweets as a trail?'
'We ran out of petals,' Thalia said coolly. She ignored the glare Percy
directed to her and surprisingly, proceeded to hug him. Truth be told, he did
received a lot of hugs today. Even though it left him fuzzy and warm inside,
Thalia hugging him felt, even though nice, absurd and awkward. The lieutenant
of Artemis was way too short now, but her eyes burned with ferocity and wisdom.
And not to forget her status as a formidable Hunter.
'You never bothered to hug me like that,' Jason mumbled suddenly, his voice
sounded scandalised. His sister snorted, her eyes glinting as bright as her
silver circlet.  'Liar. I babied you more than enough.'
She faced Percy once more and grinned. Gesturing towards the Hunters who were
'enjoying' the party with obvious wariness, she said, 'If you need help, kelp
head, we would gladly be of assistance. Lady Artemis sent her regards, as
well.'
Jason whistled, very impressed. The regards from a goddess, huh? It's almost as
powerful as a blessing. Well, perks of being a favourite and on the good side
of the goddess of the Hunt. Percy bowed and asked Thalia to return his as well.
The daughter of Zeus smiled at that.
The sun sank lower, and Jason excused himself to refill his cup.
'Percy!' Will's melodic voice filled the air. The son of Apollo was hand in
hand with his silent boyfriend, walking towards Percy and Annabeth with his
face red with merriment.
'Happy birthday!' There was a certain quality to Will's voice that leaves a
sense of warmth and solace when he spoke with a gentle tone.
'Thanks, Will!'
The blonde swivelled around to face his boyfriend, gesturing with his head in a
'don't-you-have-something-to-say' kind of way. Nico's lips was a thin line
before he started to speak.
'So.'
'Yeah?' This was getting more awkward by the second. It was approximately two
minutes of Nico staring at him with a vacant face before the Ghost King truly
smile.
'Happy birthday, Percy.' It was short and simple, but the tone was sincere and
full of unrevealed emotions. 'Even though I said that you're not my type, you
have my loyalty and trust. And even when you broke my heart, well, I hoped I
wasn't so stupid to repeat the same mistake again.'
Percy was silent, probably putting all the blame to himself. The Italian
tentatively put his hand on his shoulder, a gesture to reassure.
'So thank you, Percy, is all I wanted to say. Not for what you did,' he
muttered something like 'oblivious as hell' under his breath before continuing,
'but for being a friend all along. Saving me, not judging me with who I am, and
accepting me all the same. If anything, it was all my fault.'
He cleared his throat. 'I can't say that I don't love you, so yeah.' Nico left
it there, a tinge of pink dusting his pale cheeks.
'So, I don't hate you.'
'Thank you, Nico.' Percy said earnestly. He can't help but grin.
'Guys, I would like to have Percy for a mo.' Piper came over to him in a blur
of brown, blue and orange, hastily dragging him away towards the refreshment
area. Her brown hair was braided with blue feathers for the occasion and when
she blinked, her kaleidoscopic eyes shone with shades of blue and green.
'I'd always wonder why lemonade should be blue.' She poured the drink into two
cups. 'Personally, I found that it makes the drink more revolting.'
'Hey!'
'Nah, I'm just joking, Perce.' She brushed away a strand of choppy fringe,
laughing softly. Her eyes betrayed her cheerful tone, though. They looked
faraway, and a shift of their colours was enough to tell Percy that something
was not right.
'You know what happened, do you?' He could tell that Piper knew his question
from his confused look. She took a deep sigh, and he almost thought that she
wanted to let go of the tears that clearly have dampened her eyelashes.
But Percy also knew how strong the daughter of Aphrodite was. So he wait for
her to strengthen her composure and collect herself. In just a minute, a figure
appeared behind them and took the drink from Percy's hand. It was Reyna.
'Something happened here?'
'What the -.'
'Rey!' The Cherokee smiled brightly. 'So glad you could join us. We're about to
start the main event.'
'Uh, is this the part where I would be brutally murdered by you two for
breaking Annabeth's heart?'
Reyna didn't laugh, staring at him as she took a sip. Piper gazed into her cup
and bit her plump lower lip. She took another deep sigh. From their spot, Percy
saw Jason laughing over something with Will and Nico, though the blonde kept
casting curious glance towards him, his smile never lacking off his scarred
lips.
Piper’s voice break through his preformed inappropriate thoughts. ‘There’s no
such thing as love in fake memories.’
So they did break up. 
‘I’ve been ready for quite a while actually, so it didn’t hurt that much.’
Piper settled for smile that looked so force, Percy wondered if she was really
trying to. ‘He had his priorities elsewhere, and falling in love is not as easy
as tweaking other people’s memory for them to like you. Love demands feelings,
it demands commitment and sacrifices, and through them, it binds our souls.
Aphrodite is not a petty goddess. She’s not a powerful Olympian for nothing.’
Love is the most savage monster of all. That was the undelivered message.
‘So when he looked at someone he’d really love, I knew that it was time for me
to step away.’
‘He left you for someone else?’ That was rather insensitive of Jason. He would
have to be prepared for Percy’s wrath later. No onecan hurt his friends.
‘I left him, Percy. Not him.’ There were real tears now, rolling through her
eyelashes. She furtively wiped them away and, though her chin quivered, tried
to smile. Again. Percy clenched his fists, but even he knew that he can’t do
anything. Even for someone as oblivious as him, it must’ve hurt.
‘It fucking hurts.’ Reyna wrapped her arms around her friend and gently
shushing her. All Percy could think of was Hera being a bitch. The daughter of
Bellona was looking at him through her steely gaze, expecting him to
understand. 
‘I know that you really should, Piper, and thank you for having faith in me.
But why did you tell me all this?’
What he couldn’t understand even more was when Piper managed to choke a little
in laughter. Even Reyna smiled a little. Tears gone, the daughter of Aphrodite
looked beautiful again in the lowly sunlight. ‘You really don’t know anything
do you?’
‘Hurt him, and I’ll crush every single bone in your body.’ The praetor sounded
dead serious.
‘Wait. Whoa, what?’
‘All the best, Percy. Be the soulmate I couldn’t be.’ Being the daughter of
love herself, Piper just knew.
‘Wait -.’
Strong arms wrapped around his midriff and all he could see was the vast sky
getting closer.

Chapter Summary
     The crashing waves and the billowing wind, and private times under a
     tree.
Chapter Notes
     So the original plan was just birthday smut but I went overboard with
     the plot preceding this.
     And yeah, it's smut, so be warned.
See the end of the chapter for more notes
He could feel the cool air whipping across his face, the forest a lush green
carpet underneath his feet, the wispy white clouds all floating lazily around
him. Percy’s voice was hoarse from screaming, and he could only settled to pout
angrily.
‘Aw, don’t be so glum, Perce. It’s not that bad, isn’t it?’
Well, he guessed so. The descending sun and the glittering sea that was closing
in the distance was not that bad. Flying is that bad.
‘When the fuck are you gonna put me down?’
‘We’re almost there, hm? There, near that abandoned dock.’
Jason’s realm was not at all bad, actually. If Percy hadn’t been feeling so
pissed off, he would say that it was truly beautiful. Zeus must’ve been in his
good mood today, considering not a single grey cloud in the sky.
‘Hey, Perce.’ Percy refused to face Jason, whose cheek was warm against the
side of his neck. ‘Look down.’
He realised that they were gradually descending, his dangling feet just a few
metres above the leafy tips of the pine trees, once again in the vicinity under
protection of the camp. Just then, the beach and the rolling waves came in full
view, and he felt his spirits lifting a little.
Now what was the thing that Piper was telling him about?
Before his thoughts could form coherent sense of the girl’s words, he could
feel Jason’s chest, pressed on his back, trembling with soft laughter. ‘I never
knew you could be this tame when flying. I kinda missed the threats.’
‘I’m used to your sass, Grace.’
The blonde chuckled. ‘As if you’re not sassy yourself.’
They’re flying right above the water now. Percy could almost touch the frothy
bubbles with his toes. The water was of sparkling green and deep blue, the
waves almost wild in their rogue motion. He could see their reflections on the
ever-moving current, Jason’s brightened face smiling back at them.
And then he had this idea. ‘Big mistake, Grace.’
A deep connection with his powers was all it took to summon a big wave to
envelope them both. Before the blonde could even do anything, they were
plunging underwater.
                                   |||*||| 
‘You should’ve seen your face.’
‘Shut up, Jackson.’
‘Man, I really wished I had a camera.’ In a second, he was pinned down by a
soaking wet Roman. And not even that could stop his laughter. They rolled on
the mat, spread on the sandy ground underneath the shade of a tree about
fifteen metres from the edge of the sea, trying to wrestle each other into
obedience.
‘Okay! Okay! I give up!’ His uncontrollable mirth gave him away, grunting as
his blonde friend locked him to the ground. Unable to stop his cheerful mood
(which was actually endearing), Jason let go of Percy and decided to pout on
the corner of the mat. Chuckling slightly, the son of Poseidon decided to make
peace. With a flick of his hand, Jason was completely dry. The simple gesture
of kindness was enough to prompt a smile from the son of Jupiter.
‘So, did Piper tell you?’
Percy, who was too busy staring at the scar on his upper lip, lifted his head a
bit to look at him. In a sudden, his expression shifted into apprehensiveness
and curiosity, his eyes turning a darker shade of green. ‘Uh-huh.’
‘Well,' Jason took in a deep breath. 'Honestly when she told me, I know that
something was… definitely wrong. I told her to let me try and be the best
boyfriend for her. But yeah. She told me why, and that’s when everything fell
into place. I guess my heart knew before I did, too.’
When Piper told him that they should stop, his mind flew to the thought of
Percy. Jason was reminded of the chaste touches they exchanged, the tight hugs
they shared, and how their bodies fit so well together to make him realise
that. And the way Percy had always looked at him, like he’s the best thing that
had happened to him, was enough to tell him what he ought to do.
The son of Poseidon sat up straighter, running his fingers through his raven-
coloured curls. Somehow their distance was getting closer and closer, and it
felt natural to do so. He began to understand, and was not as surprised as he
thought he’d be when Jason uttered the words.
‘I li – like you, Percy Jackson.’
Oh.
And Percy felt himself smiling when the son of Jupiter said that, his eyes
casted down behind those golden frames and his cheeks flustered a bright red
hue.
‘And I thought I’d let you know.’
Fuck, that was cute.
‘I like you too. In case you wanted to know too.’
The look of disbelief on the blonde’s face set Percy giggling slightly. Without
both of them even realising it, both boys were now shoulder to shoulder, their
eyes locked together in an unwavering gaze. He made a mental note to thank
Piper later.
‘Why are we here, anyway?’
‘O – Oh, yeah.’ There was a small bag, obviously Piper’s (judging from the
authentic and lady-like design), lying innocently at the edge of the mat. Percy
wondered why he didn’t notice that before. Jason, on the other hand, was
contemplating whether he should take whatever things that were in the bag or
not.
Oh, forget it, he thought. ‘Percy?’
‘Hm?’
He laced their fingers together and immersed himself into the depths of Percy’s
green eyes, a personification of the sea. Brushing away the dark locks of his
forehead, Jason cupped the other demigod’s chin, feeling their hot breaths
intermingling with each other. Without another word, he leaned in.
His lips were as soft as Percy imagined them to be. They broke apart, and he
could see that there was nothing in comparison to Jason’s expression, which was
a true definition of happiness. When he returned the kiss, the blonde’s whole
face was lit up like the sun, his cute scar stretching a bit along with his
rosy lips.
‘Um, i – if you wanted to, would you…’
Percy decided that a flustered Jason is a really pretty Jason. Sighing with a
smile, he was about to ask what Jason really wanted before he paused to see
what the blonde was about to do. He looked really nervous, but his hands was
sure and steady when he pulled the collar of his shirt wider and stretching his
neck to the side.
Baring himself for Percy. By then, he knew what Jason wanted.
Tentatively stroking Jason’s shoulder, which had tensed all the way up, he
smiled in assurance and leaned in a little closer. The son of Jupiter was
scented like the fresh morning air, his skin cool against the tip of Percy’s
nose. Wrapping the blonde closer to him with his left arm, his soft kisses made
their way up Jason’s throat, his chin, the side of his beautiful angular jaw,
and the corner of his lips.
‘Why?’ Percy needed to make sure. 
‘I’ve waited a long time to feel you against me. I… I want you to be my first
time.’
And that alone was the reason he needed.
He lifted Jason’s shirt all the way over his head, pausing a little as he
watched Jason’s broad chest rose and fell in fascination. His hands, though
hesitating a little, pressed against his lover’s pecs, leaving trails of
prickling goosebumps as he moved them all over Jason’s torso, trying to feel
the sensation of skin against skin. Percy found out that he couldn’t get
enough.
‘Can I?’
Nodding slowly, Jason let his pants pulled off by Percy, lifting his hips up a
little to ease the movement. He placed his arms around Percy’s shoulders,
leaning in to kiss the boy’s pink-tinged ear and murmured whispers of
encouragement.
He seemed to have lost track of time, both of them finally bare from any
article of clothing without Jason knowing it. Their fronts were pressed flush
against each other, with Jason on his back, the atmosphere silent except for
the roar of waves and the quickening beats of their hearts.
That’s when he remembered the bag. Summoning the winds to bring it closer to
them, he shifted a little from their comfortable position and rummaged through
the bag and retrieved the required item. Percy watched him curiously, his head
nestled on Jason’s chest.
The truth hit him hard when Jason took out a small bottle, his smile apologetic
and nervous. It was lube. He lifted his head up and stared straight at those
azure blue eyes. ‘Are you sure, Jason?’ he inquired. The blonde just shrugged,
though his face was of determination. ‘It’s what I’ve always wanted. And you’re
the birthday boy, anyway.’
As if to prove his point, he took Percy in between his legs and grinded their
groins together. The son of Poseidon let off a grunt. ‘Oh, shit, that feels
good.’ He chuckled quietly. ‘And here I thought cuddling naked together is the
best part.’
He pushed himself away from Jason, whose arms were splayed to the side, and
took the lube. Following the cue, the blonde spread his legs, his cheeks
bearing a rosy shade and his golden hair a heavy mess. Percy took in the sight
with awe; he’d never seen such beauty before.
Slicking his fingers with the lubrication, he prepared Jason slowly and
carefully. His entrance was beyond heavenly, the velvety tightness demanding
Percy’s fingers to go deeper. It was cute that Jason yelped a little at times
when his fingers hit his prostate. It was without a problem, as Jason had
explained with a blush that he had practiced for quite a while before.
Without warning, Jason pulled him in an embrace and demanded, ‘Percy. I need
it, right now.’
He locked Percy in between his spread legs, locking his ankles together behind
the small of his lover’s back. Unable to go anywhere, he decided to go with the
flow and heed the younger demigod’s wishes. He pulled in Jason closer together,
noting how wonderful to feel his cool skin against his warm one, and kissed the
blonde’s jaw just before connecting their lips again in a hungry kiss.
Well, how could he resist?
Caressing Jason’s well-defined cheekbones, he aligned his cock with the boy’s
puckered entrance and gently nudged at the rim. ‘Shit, stop teasing me,' the
blonde huffed with annoyance, before groaning when Percy finally pushed in. He
looked so handsome, Jason noted. Percy’s cheeks were red and his lips were
slightly apart, his eyebrows scrunched together in concentration.
It was distracting enough to have a beautiful demigod, being gentle in his own
careless way, between his legs working so hard to please him. He decided to
clench in a bit to encourage Percy, who was taking his own sweet time.
Both of them released hushed moans when they were finally reunited. Jason
pressed their forehead together, pushing Percy to his back before settling to
sit on his lap. He made an experimental roll of his hips, glad to hear the
frustrated moan from Percy, who obviously wanted more than what was given. The
son of Poseidon tried to thrust into him, eliciting a mewl from Jason, but he
pinned Percy down again.
‘Relax, bro. I got this.’ He pulled himself up a bit before slamming back down
on Percy’s groin. The boy let out an unabashed moan, his eyes transfixed on
Jason’s naked body, on his formidable erection swinging wildly in rhythm with
his body. In just a short moment, Jason was riding him with flourish, his
glasses hanging dangerously at the edge of his nose, a trickle of sweat running
the side of his face.
How could someone, who was so prim and proper, and a bit of a stoic nerd
honestly, be so wild-looking and gorgeous at the same time is beyond Percy.
Jason’s strong hips’ muscles rippled as he continued to impale himself on
Percy’s dick, looking so ruined yet so beautiful.
‘Fuck! Ah, you’re amazing, Jason.’
Jason was more than happy to please his lover. Percy’s beautiful sea green eyes
was gazing at him like he’s the most precious thing in the world, pupils full-
blown with lust and eyes half-lidded with wonder. He cradled Percy’s head,
twiddling his soft curls with his fingers. The boy was thrusting into him
madly, struggling to meet his rhythm. ‘Oh, fuck!’
He felt nimble fingers wrapped around his cock, stroking him with a steady
pace. Panting heavily, he took in the soft features of the son of Poseidon, who
was repeating his name in murmurs whenever Jason took in a particularly good
thrust and moaned, whispering praises and curses in his ear.
Eventually, their movement became more erratic, sweating lightly from the
pleasant heat. Percy’s thumb was now spreading the pre-cum dribbling from his
slit, and combined with constant stimulation of his prostate, was enough to
push him off the edge. ‘Percy, I – I’m gonna – ah!’
He came hard all over their front torso, ejaculating warm liquid as white-hot
pleasure rushed through his lower region. As he sought Percy’s lips, he could
feel the raven-haired boy tensing up, stilling for a moment as he released his
pent-up pleasure into Jason, moaning his name against his lips.
Both of them collapsed on the ground. Gently kissing Jason’s eyelids, Percy
slowly pulled away out of Jason, eliciting a soft moan from the blonde.
‘That was… intense.’
Pulling Percy into a cuddle, Jason chuckled deeply, his eyes droopy and a tired
smile on his lips. His hand brushes the straying curls away from Percy’s sweaty
forehead, carding through them softly before seeking his lips for a gentle
peck. After they pulled apart however, he winced slightly, feeling a little bit
sore in his nether region. This didn’t go unnoticed by Percy. ‘You okay,
Jason?’
‘A bit disgusting,’ he groaned a little bit as he shifted for a comfortable
position, noting the feeling of some stuff leaking down there. Percy huffed a
laugh before absentmindedly moving closer, feeling a bit weird to have their
body stained with sweat and cum-streaks, yet pressing together all the same.
‘Yeah, we should take a dip later. And get back before everyone gets worried.’
Jason hummed in agreement. ‘But don’t worry, though. They know we’re here.’
‘So this all pre-planned, huh?’
Laughing apologetically, Jason nodded before sighing. ‘Honestly I didn’t expect
for us to go this far.’ His voice dropped an octave. ‘And for you to say you
liked me back.’
‘Can I rephrase myself? I love you, you big nerd.’
The expression on the blonde’s face was priceless. They kissed, paused to smile
fondly at each other, before kissing again. The hum resonating at the back of
Percy’s throat when their lips met had Jason fallen in deep all over again. He
sounded so happy that it infected him as well. ‘And me you, you big dork.’
Percy buried his heating face in Jason’s shoulder, trying to hide the blush in.
He’d always wonder how the blonde’s voice always had that effect on him, which
made his chest so light and his heartbeat so fast. Leaving him flustered, and a
boner. ‘So, what are we, Jason? Fuck buddies? Friends with benefits? Or just
bros with benefits that fuck?’
‘I’m about to say boyfriends but yeah, up to you.’
‘Sounds good to me.’ Percy don’t think they’ll stop kissing each other for
another few hours. Making up from several years of pining fruitlessly. He
wondered what would be the expressions of the guests later when they got back,
judging from the mess that they made. And the hickey on the base on Jason’s
throat that gods-know-how did it get there.
‘Thank you, Jason.’ Percy clucked his tongue when he noticed that his words
went unheard. He could tell from the rise and fall of his chest that the son of
Jupiter had fallen asleep, his mouth slightly opened, his glasses askew and
looking so peaceful in his dreams.
Well, the party can wait. The rhythmic sound of the waves, the soothing cool
air of the beach and the warmth of Jason’s body was all he needed then.
