AUTHOR'S NOTE:

My dear readers, I guess it's time to present you with a gay one-shot.

This is Percy/Hermes one-shot set after the last book in the Percy Jackson series, Percy Jackson and the Last Olympian.

All the homophobes, please get away form here. Or if you want to change your nature and start accepting homosexuals, you can stick to my story.

Hermes POV:

To say I was devastated after Luke's death was an understatement.

I cared so much for him but.... couldn't save him from his fate ...... all due to those Ancient Laws. Well, fuck them!

When the Fates carried away the shroud of my son, I couldn't bear it anyone. I flashed to my temple at Olympus. Just after reaching my bedroom, I snapped. My tears leaked through the well protected dam of my façade and fell on to my golden bedsheet.

George and Martha tried, the keyword is tried, to calm me down but failed and they failed miserably because I got annoyed with their tries and teleported them to Apollo with a note, asking him to take over my duties for a while. After returning, I cried myself to sleep for the first time in my immortal life.

My sleep was disturbed by the continuous pounding at my door. I shouted from the bed, "Go way. I don't want to meet anyone right now." An unexpected reply floated its way back to me, "Lord Hermes, please open the door. We need to talk."

I was so startled by the reply that I waved my hand and opened the door. a boy walked in. He hung his head down and bowed. "Get up", I replied uneasily. I was still not accustomed to be bowed to after so many millennia. The boy looked up and it was Percy Jackson, the Hero of Olympus.

The pain in my heart grew after seeing that Percy's cheeks were tear-stained. His blood shot and puffy eyes were enough to prove that he had been crying for a long time. Well, I knew that he looked at Luke as a friend and his fatal flaw being loyalty, Luke's death had hurt him pretty bad.

I steeled myself and asked, careful not to let my emotions in my voice, "What do you want, Perseus?" He took a long breath, "I came to ask for my punishment. If I had tried harder, I could have saved Luke. His death is my fault, entirely mine. I shouldn't have handed him the blade. I have failed to keep my word. I deserve to be punished." "You only came here because your guilt was eating was eating you away, very painfully", was my flat reply.

I looked him in the eyes. His eyes were so green, but now it was a strange green, more like the sap green waters of putrid holes. He had a sharp jawline, a straight nose and a healthy tan. He was chewing on his lower lip. He looked almost cute, adorable......

"You are cute", I blurted out before I could control myself. He awkwardly rubbed at the back of his neck and lowered his glaze. "I did not come only because I am guilty, there is something else." I nodded, clearly conveying that I wanted him to continue. "I-I-I-I like you. I like you romantically. I know it is not the best time to confess my feelings but I am a child of the sea. I can't control myself for too long. I have liked you since you first showed up at the border of camp Half Blood and gave me those equipments for the quest. I couldn't have succeeded, if not for those supplies. And though you asked Lord Apollo to take over your duties, he isn't quite efficient at that...." He rambled on and on but I was shocked at his confession. Well, I can't deny that he is adorable, and every God likes him, but... My thoughts were interrupted by a mind message from my father, 'Hermes, I saw that spawn of Poseidon entering your palace. Bring him and yourself to the Throne room now as all the other gods and demigods have assembled for the awarding ceremony.'

I asked, "Do you think Poseidon will be fine with me dating you? I got a bad reputation of breaking hearts as I am Apollo's best friend." "Well, I guess it should be fine with my dad as I am willing to date you", Percy replied.

I grinned like a fool. Who wouldn't! Percy Jackson, the Hero of Olympus was the person whom every god wanted to be theirs. But I, the god of Thieves had his heart. My heart was doing somersaults in joy and he had been sincere during his confession. Being the God of Lies, I know a lie when it is told. And I can also not deny that I had a teeny, weeny crush on this particular son of Poseidon......

I snapped my fingers changing mine and Percy's clothes and appearance. Well, we obviously have to get ready for an awarding ceremony. I took Percy's hand his mine and smiled at him, "Ready to go?" He nodded. Gosh! This boy can divert my attention so easily. I'll treasure him......

LINE BREAK

Percy accepted immortality. I felt like the happiest immortal that ever lived. I turned to Poseidon and said, "Uncle, do I have the permission to date Percy Jackson?" I wished I had a camera with me to take a picture of the Lord of the Seas. He gaped at me like a fish. Percy awkwardly cleared his throat and said, "Dad, we have liked each other for quite a while. Pwease," he pouted and gave his dad a pair of baby seal eyes. Gods, he looked so adorable.

Poseidon shrugged, "The pout and the eyes were a low blow, Perce. I am fine as long as Sally is fine with you dating the trickster." Turning to me, he continued after giving his signature glare that could even turn Zeus and Hades' combined glare to jelly, "If you dare to break his heart, I'll make sure that you won't be in the condition to even date another mortal."

I gulped and nodded. I knew that Uncle Don was generally the coolest person after Aunt Hestia. But he could be scary when he wanted and one should never take his threats lightly.

I and Percy flashed in front of the Jackson apartment. He said, "Well, Lord Hermes, I think you should be careful while asking my mom. She is very scary when wants to be." I replied, "First of all, for Hades' sake drop the title 'Lord' and secondly, I believe Ms. Jackson will agree to us dating." Percy rang the doorbell and after a while we were sitting on the couch of the apartment, feasting on blue cookies and blueberry smoothie, all because Ms. Jackson was kind enough.
