Take Off Those Glasses! (Jason x Percy = Jercy)

Happy Angel

Okay. Jason thought as he panicked in Percy's arms. This is really bad. I CAN NOT take it. God, I so badly want to kiss Percy.

Take a calming breath, Percy told himself in his mind. Please, Jason, have mercy on me. You can't get a hard-on with this, bro.

"P-Percy" Jason said consciously, "You can put me down now"

"Your leg?" Percy asked, but his voice was more terrified than worried. "I can't let it get hurt more"

"Just put me down, Perc" Jason said slowly, almost heart-breakingly. Hesitantly, Percy obliged – partly because he trusted Jason, that Jason wouldn't lie to him; and partly because he couldn't stand watching that bulge in Jason's pants and having a yearning feeling to kiss Jason.

"Put your hand on my shoulder, Jason" Percy said, pursing his lips. This uncomfortable atmosphere wasn't very frequent between them – they were always so open and felt so secure with each other. What was this, then? It was as if the friendly wall they had between them was breaking and falling apart. Like they were being pulled away from their real selves. Percy didn't like it.

Timidly, Jason wrapped his hand around Percy. The moment Jason's fingertips touched Percy, he felt himself tense up. It felt like this contact was unreal, unnatural. It was all a really bad feeling. Why? Percy asked himself. Relieve this tension, Jason. Please. It seemed like that one word's answer carried so heavy meanings, it could change Percy's world upside down. Percy felt goosebumps erupt on his hands and the hair on the back of his neck rise up. What is this that I'm feeling?

Percy couldn't even look Jason in the eye. He had lost the courage to even act normal any time Jason's skin touched his.

They finally reached the infirmary. The School Nurse wasn't there, in fact, she was barely there anytime – students usually had to help themselves. Percy helped Jason to get on the bed. Jason winced as he shifted a little.

Percy gasped and began, "Oh my god, did I hurt you? I'm so sorry. I really didn't mean to. I'll-I'll just take a splint from somewhere. Don't worry, I promise it won't hurt. I just –"

"Perseus, calm down" Jason said with a calm smile.

Percy's breath hitched. He gulped as he tried to process how sweet Jason sounded when he said Percy's whole name. "Y-yeah" he said. "Sorry" and Percy gave out an awkward chuckle.

Slowly, Jason stood up. "H-hey!" Percy exclaimed. "It'll hurt! Sit –"

Jason came near Percy and gently placed his finger on Percy's lips. "Shh" Jason whispered. Percy abruptly stopped speaking. His heartbeat raced and he felt himself growing tense. Everything around him started being more detailed – he could hear the clock clicking, the very faint sound of players' feet thumping on the gym floor above them, the rustling of the leaves on the tree heard from the open window in the infirmary, the quiet sound of a bird chirping and lastly, the sound of Jason's heartbeat. It was the same like Percy's – fast and powerful. Ba-dump ba-dump ba-dump.

Jason brought his hand up to Percy's cheek. He with a soft voice, he asked "Can I kiss you?"

Percy nodded his head and Jason's delicate lips touched Percy's.

Jason kissed Percy.

He didn't expect Percy to kiss back.

But Percy kissed Jason too.

They kissed.

And kissed.

And kissed.

Percy wrapped his hand around Jason's waist and pulled him closer, vanishing the space between them, as if that will make them one. Jason moved his hand from Percy's cheek to his hair.

This felt real. It felt like it was meant to be.

Somehow, no kiss with Annabeth had felt to be this authentic. Nothing he'd done with any girl could be compared to this. This was right. And even if it was wrong, Percy wasn't going to stop. This wasn't something he could stop. He couldn't end this. He couldn't stop himself. This all was very real, very right, and Percy was glad he was doing it. He felt like himself, and it was magical.

Jason pulled away first. Both of them were out of breath. "It was good" Percy said. Jason smiled and quietly nodded his head in response.

But Percy couldn't get enough of it. Still breathless, he smashed his lips on Jason's.

Jason was taken by surprise. But the next moment, he was high in the clouds. Percy was kissing him. Percy was kissing him. At his own will.

And Jason was trying to be so gentle, so delicate, to make their first kiss something romantic. But it's enough of that, isn't it? He slipped his tongue in Percy's mouth and their teeth clashed. Percy moaned in ecstasy and pulled Jason's hair. He intertwined his fingers in Jason's golden locks and pulled him closer.

Percy bit on Jason's lip till there was blood coming out. He broke the kiss and licked the blood off Jason's lips. The sour taste lingered in Percy's smiling mouth. Jason gave out a small chuckle and muttered "You sure know how to kiss"

"Shut up" Percy said as he once again closed the distance between them, pulling Jason towards him and kissing him again. He couldn't get enough of it. The kiss wasn't enough, the touch wasn't enough. He was hungry. He wanted more. More of this. More of this reality. Everyday.

Nico di Angelo was roaming somewhere around the infirmary, waiting for Will Solace. They'd made a deal – to meet after school and get to know each other better. Nico sure did like Percy, but he also knew Percy already liked someone else. And he, after all, wasn't fit for Percy. Why would someone like Percy ever want someone like me? Nico thought. But, if Percy did find that clue and my phone number from that book, it's sure going to be a long journey. Nico slightly smiled at the thought and checked his phone. He opened his Text Messages and found it. "Hi. It's Percy here :)" Nico's slight smile turned into a full grin and he scratched his neck as he blushed. You're fucking smooth, Percy. Satisfied, he stood there. However, he was now having second thoughts about meeting Will.

Since Nico had nothing to do, practically, he just wandered off. Finding the infirmary door open, he stole a glance inside and his heart sank.

There Percy was, kissing a blond boy. Nico felt pain. Excruciating pain. This was something he was not prepared to see. At all. Why?! He screamed in his head. Why does this always happen to me? Nico felt as if sharp knives were cutting through his skin, leaving bare flesh open. He was sick of betrayal. It disgusted him. I just want to live a happy life with the person I like. Just fucking let me be! I felt good just a moment ago, and now?! Does anything come without a price for me? Not even Percy Jackson?

But when did happiness ever shower on that angel?

Yeah, well, guess who's back?
