It was nighttime on the Argos II. Everyone was peacefully asleep in their rooms. Everyone, but Frank, that is. He was sitting in the crow's nest, bored out of his mind.
"Stupid Leo and his dumb working machine thing,"Frank muttered to himself. Leo had made a bet with Frank two days ago, saying that if his newest invention worked, Frank would take the watch for three weeks. Seeing as the so-called "invention" was made out of scraps, and was leaking oil, Frank thought there was no possible way it would work. His reaction when it started to move was priceless.
"Have fun up there, gorilla boy," Leo taunted as Frank started to climb up the mast. So there he was. Alone in the crow's nest. For the next three weeks. There was no sound except for the wind, as the ship flew across the sky. The bickering between Mars and Ares had miraculously ceased for the night. Not one mention from either telling him to kill Leo for winning the bet. Frank sat alone in silence.
He was only slightly hoping something would attack, anything to relieve his boredom, but unfortunately, the skies were clear. There were no signs of anything. There were no clouds, no landscape, just an empty sky.
Eventually, the sun started to rise. Hazel would be up by now and getting ready. That meant his watch was over. Frank started down the mast, and head to the showers. He didn't really need one, but his eyes were dry after being awake all night, so might as well just clean all over. As he made his way to the shower, he crossed the dining room to get a drink.
On the floor, in the corner, was the ghost king himself. Nico was sleeping with his head in his arms. Even when Percy and Annabeth were in Tartarus, Nico didn't sleep in Percy's room. Now with them back, he seemed to avoid Percy at all costs. Nico shivered slightly, but did not wake. Seeing this, Frank quickly got a spare blanket and wrapped Nico with it. When the blanket was over Nico, he snuggled into Frank's body; a small smile on his face. Frank blushed slightly, but allowed for Nico to stay for a little while.
After a couple minutes, Frank gently got up. Nico frowned and shivered at the loss of warmth, and quickly pulled the blanket closer to him. Frank left and continued on his quest for the showers. When the warm water hit him, he let out a groan of relaxation. Frank watched as the water dripped down his body, cascading into the little ridges of his abs.
If there's one thing that I can thank my father for, it was this blessing, Frank thought. He ran his hands along his torso, still not really believing that it was real. Well, that and finally shutting up. Frank started to massage his chest, feeling every muscle underneath his fingers.
He let out a groan as his fingers ran over his nipples. Frank started to gently play with them with his left hand as his right hand moved downward, going over each bump of his abs. He still couldn't believe that this was his body. Everything felt so defined, and tight. It was something he had to get used to.
His hands' movement across his body, added with the heat of the water hitting his back, caused his cock to stir. Frank spread his legs a little more for balance, and slid his hand to his hardening member. His breath hitched as he grabbed hold of his penis. Frank slowly started to jerk off, while still rolling his nipples with his left hand.
Frank stopped playing with himself in order to grab the bar of soap. He felt his cock and balls bounce around as he took the small steps to acquire the soap. Frank rubbed the soap over his chest, spreading the suds over his pecs and nipples, then to his abs. He took the time to make sure each of the ridges of his abs was covered in suds, before swirling around his bellybutton. He reached out his left arm, scrubbing the bar under his pits. He raised his right arm, and repeated the process before continuing on his body.
Passing his dick, he scrubbed down his legs. Bending back up, Frank took the soap, and started to rub it in circles over his ass, making sure every inch of the wide expanse was covered in suds. Soon, both cheeks were soaped up. With his right hand, he spread his cheeks and started to soap up his crack. Running the bar up and down, Frank took his time to cover its entirety. Feeling his asshole, he gently circled the entrance with the soap. He let out a loud moan, when the bar slipped inside a little.
