Between Sea and Sky -AAThanatos

Chapter 7: Rings and Confessions

Percy's Pov

Waking up I almost forgot the stupid shit that went down last night, then it hit me, and it was like a hole in my chest. The only soothing balm to it was this beautiful man entangled with my limbs.

Jason, sweet Jason.

Jason said he felt more for me, that this was more than just sex. I wanted to believe the words from last night, but I guess today will be the test. I felt a nudge of his erection on my thigh... I guess I know where this morning is headed.

(timebreak)

After a round of lazy morning sex and a rim job in the shower, we both pulled ourselves from the cabin to join to world for breakfast. As we headed into the pavilion I saw Annabeth and Cliff at the Athena table, white hot fury burned inside me. This dude was better than me? Clifford was tall and lanky with little muscle and red hair. How was this guy better? Am I jealous? As I thought about whether I was jealous or not I felt Jason grab my hand to walk us forward, apparently, I stopped in place. Feeling the warmth of his hand I felt my usual Jason butterflies in my stomach, I wasn't jealous, I was hurt. I didn't care about this dude especially when Jason showed me affection. Annabeth was just an awful person who hurt me, and I didn't want to entertain her notions that I was only fucking Jason to get over her.

I waved to Nico and Will after we got back to Jason's table. Seeing us they came over to join us for breakfast, seeing Nico roll his eyes at the Athena table made my throat thick with emotion. Thank you for being on my side dude. Jason was being a little extra with his PDA this morning as we came out to Nico and Will of us being official, of course you heard a few gasps form around the other tables and the sounds of money being exchanges....people must have been taking bets. Hey! Its not my fault I get so loud at night it's all Superman's fault! Nico was teasing me a bit when the devil came by with her new man to tap on his shoulder.

"Hey Neeks! How's it going? This is Nico Di Angelo the son of Hades and his boyfriend Will the son of Apollo."

Nico was polite and shook the mans hand, it seemed they already were introduced in New Rome some time ago. Cliff also shook Wills hand. Looking over at us he put his hand out.

"Hi guys sorry my girlfriend was rude and didn't say your names? I'm Cliff son of Janus." Smiling he just stood there with a hand out, Jason clasped it out of manners and introduced the both of us and a strange look overcame Cliff's face.

"Percy? Like Thee Percy?" he asked with a questioning but not mean tone.

"Yeah her Ex." I said dully as if I was bored with the whole thing.

"Well its nice to meet you Percy, Jason. So, you guys are together now? Is this a theme at the camp? Blondes with blue eyes find and catch all the brunettes?" he laughed at his own joke.

Will giggled at the joke of course and Nico slapped his arm playfully with a smile on his face.

"Nico, could you help me later with some research I need done on some burial rites?" Annabeth said trying to interject into the conversation.

"There are books in the big house for that, Will and I are busy." Nico replied with a snide tone, yet he still smiled at Cliff.

I saw what was happening and I don't blame anyone. Cliff wasn't the enemy, he may not have even known about the cheating thing. All he knows is that I'm the EX and she didn't seem to elaborate on me to him, probably to busy on her back to give proper descriptions. A hard look crossed her face as she leaned into the table with both hands on the surface.

"I see how it is, jealous that Jason got him to turn instead of you?"

"Cliff, you better check your "piece" before I start to crack the earth and kill the grass." Nico said to Cliff over Annabeth's shoulder.
