[TW: MENTIONS OF SA]

"ZEUS! CALL AN EMERGENCY MEETING!" Apollo yelled, flashing into Olympus and rushing to Zeus' throne.

"Why, son?" Zeus asked boredly.

"Perseus Jackson was assaulted by a daughter of Aphrodite," Apollo hissed. "Raped."

Zeus raised his eyebrows, straightening up.

"Now that's interesting."

"THE FUCK YOU MEAN, 'THAT'S INTERESTING'?! HE'S TRAUMATIZED, FATHER! AFTER ALL HE HAS DONE FOR OLYMPUS, IS THIS YOUR REACTION?!" Apollo screamed.

That seemed to put Zeus in his place.

"Emergency meeting!" Zeus called out, "All Olympians to the throne room!"

One by one, the gods began flashing into the throne room.

Everyone took their seats, except Apollo.

"What's going on?" Ares asked boredly.

"Perseus Jackson has been-" Apollo began.

"Not him again," Hera groaned.

Poseidon, however, straightened up in concern.

"-raped by a daughter of Aphrodite," Apollo informed them grimly.

"What?" Poseidon hissed sharply.

"Who?" Hermes demanded.

"Drew Tanaka."

Even Aphrodite scowled in disgust. The only god who didn't really care all too much was Hera - even Dionysus and Ares were outraged.

"I'll have her killed!" Poseidon growled.

"But when I killed Poseidon's son for raping my daughter, I got put through trials," Ares muttered under his breath. "Godsdamned hypocrite."

Poseidon stiffened.

"Rape is one of the most vile things any being could do," Apollo spat disdainfully, "and I argue we should send Tanaka to Tartarus."

"Alright. All in favor of sending Drew Tanaka to Tartarus?" Zeus asked tiredly.

Only Hera and Zeus didn't raise their hands.

"Okay. Tanaka will be dealt with soon," Zeus sighed, "Dismissed."

Apollo flashed out.

"'Pollo?" Percy mumbled, looking up at the god.

"I got you, I got you," Apollo smiled hastily, wrapping his arms around Percy, who flinched. Apollo quickly let go.

"I'm sorry, are you not comfortable, or...? Do you need some space?" Apollo asked gently.

"I'm fine, just... I don't like touching skin," Percy said hesitantly.

"That's understandable, I'm sorry," Apollo nodded.

Percy shook his head.

"You didn't know, don't worry."

Apollo smiled.

"Would you like to go to breakfast, or I could bring it to you if seeing her would be too much...?" Apollo trailed off.

"Could you please bring it to me?" Percy asked shyly.

"Of course."

Apollo stepped out of the cabin and toward the dining pavillion.  He got some eggs and blue cookies for after, and set off toward Percy's cabin.

Percy was lying in bed, staring at the wall.

"Perce," Apollo spoke up softly. "I'm back."

Percy looked up, faking a small smile. He got up and sat down on a chair.

He grabbed the plate, taking small bites of food, gagging slightly with each bite.

"Are you alright?" Apollo worried.

"Yeah. I just haven't eaten much food recently, I'm not used to it," Percy said quietly.

He reluctantly forced himself to finish his food.

And immediately after, vomited the entire contents of his stomach out.

Breathless, he squeezed his eyes shut, leaning back in his seat.

"How do you feel?" Apollo asked quietly.

"I'm dizzy," Percy murmured, rubbing his stomach. "And my stomach hurts."

"It's going to be alright. Drink some water," Apollo suggested, handing Percy a glass of water.

Percy drank it hastily.

Then he vomited it out.

"I want to rest," Percy groaned.

"Okay, okay," Apollo said softly. "Take my arm, I'll help you to your bed."

Percy took his arm, trembling slightly as they made their way to the bed. Apollo carefully lied him down. He turned away, but a hand grabbed his wrist.

"Stay w'me," Percy spurred his words, but his message was clear.

Apollo smiled slightly, lying down next to Percy, who curled up and wrapped his arms around the god.

Apollo smiled.

A/N: Percy's eating disorder is inspired by mine. I can't even drink water. My stomach hates being full.

Anyway, I just vomited 7 times in two minutes as I was writing this, went blind for a minute and almost passed out. Yay!

Anyway, my brain hurts so idk what else to say.

Bye?
