The Son of Death (Percy Jackson x Male Reader)

Only One Returns

So Annabeth has returned from the Labyrinth... alone.  Grover and Tyson had split off when Grover thought he found a passage to Pan.  And Percy... Percy had blown up Mount Saint Helens, and was presumably dead.  So now, we're holding a funeral for him.  As Annabeth was giving a speech, her eyes widened and she pointed towards the shoreline.  I swear to Zeus, if he's right there...

Annabeth: He's right there!

Everyone turned, seeing Percy stumbling up from the beach.  Everyone ran towards him, with Annabeth at the front.  He grinned... and she punched him in the face.  He slowly got to his feet, and she threw her arms around him.

Percy: I might have deserved that.

Annabeth was sobbing into his shoulder.  I glared at him and he looked nervous.

YN: You're not a ghost are you?  Cause if you are, I'll find out.

Percy: No, I'm really here.

Chiron: YN, you should inform the Campers at Zeus' Fist.  They'll be relieved to know that Percy is alive.

I nodded, hugging Percy and flying into the air.  I flew over the forest, landing in the clearing with the boulder pile.  Sarah turned to me.  I wrapped my wings around us so nobody would see us.  We'd somehow managed to keep our relationship a secret from almost everyone.  Once we were hidden, she slammed her lips against mine.  We made out for a few minutes before we separated, and I folded my wings back behind me.  Lucas and Alexa walked over... holding hands?

YN: What's going on here?

Alexa blushed and the two quickly let go.  Lucas smiled nervously.

Sarah: What are you doing back?  I thought you were at...

YN: That jerk is alive, he just washed up on the beach.

Lucas and Sarah grinned and ran off to find him, while Alexa just sighed.

Alexa: Of course he is.

YN: Every time.

TIMESKIP

It was Saturday, and traffic was heavy going into the city.  We arrived at Percy's mom's place around noon.  When she answered the door, she gave Percy a mama bear hug.

Sally: I told them you were all right.

Sally sounded like the weight of the sky had just been lifted off her shoulders.  But either way she sat us down at the kitchen table and insisted on feeding us her special blue chocolate-chip cookies while we caught her up on the quest.  As usual, we tried to water down the frightening parts, which was pretty much everything, but somehow that just made it sound more dangerous.  When Percy got to the part about Geryon and the stables, his mom pretended like she was going to strangle him.

Sally: I can't get him to clean his room, but he'll clean a hundred tons of horse manure out of some monster's stables?

Sarah snorted adorably and Annabeth laughed.

Sally: So.  You wrecked Alcatraz Island, made Mount St. Helens explode, and displaced half a million people, but at least you're safe.

That's Percy's mom, always looking on the bright side.

Percy: Yep.  That pretty much covers it.

Sally: I wish Paul were here.  He wanted to talk to you.

Percy: Oh right... the school.

So much had happened since then that I'd almost forgotten about Percy's high school orientation at Goode.

YN: What did you tell him?
