(Percy)

Throwing up wasn't how Percy wanted to start the day, heck, he doubted anyone wanted to start the day like that. Brushing his teeth, he glares at his reflection, wondering what the hell is going on. 

"You look moody." Nico mumbles, slinking into their bathroom, yawning as he splashes his face with water. 

Percy frowns, looking Nico over. "Where were you last night?" 

Nico glances up, a small smirk crossing his lips as he leans in closer to Percy, arm hooking around his neck. "Did you miss me?"

Percy rolls his eyes, removing Nico's hand from his neck. Bending down, he spits out the toothpaste, rinsing his mouth. Nico laughs, leaning against the counter, reaching out and playing with a strand of Percy's hair. "I was with Lightning Bulb, we fell asleep on the roof." 

"Together? Is the world about to come to an end?" Percy's eyes sparkle with a hint of mirth and teasing, Nico blushing as he realizes what he said. 

"Don't make it sound like that, lightning rod isn't terrible, we were just talking." Nico mutters. 

Jason walks in at that moment, "Heard that, you're not so terrible yourself." Jason's teasing has Nico groaning and Percy laughing. The two blank, looking over at Percy. Percy's laughter ceases, head tilting cutely as he looks at the two in question. 

The two smile, Jason saying, "Just been a while since we heard you laugh like that, it's nice." 

"oh" Percy whispers, suddenly feeling bad. 'I've caused them a lot of worry and pain.' 

"Don't you dare do that." Nico says, getting a questioning look from Percy. "Stop beating yourself up, we love you idiot, and this isn't your fault, you've just lived a terrible life and gone through a lot, and we respect that, and we respect you, so no pity parties and self-blame sessions."

"Deathpup is right, none of that, let's do something fun." Jason says, getting an irritated look from Nico at the new nickname. "Let's skip school and go do something fun." 

"I'm down." Nico says, looking pleadingly at Percy. Percy sighs, after a minute he nods agreement. 

"Yes! Finally, we're rubbing off on you!" Nico happily says, reaching out and ruffling Percy's hair, his hand getting whacked away by an irritated Percy. 

"We can skip the evening classes, I want to attend potions with Sevy." Percy says, fingers running through his hair, untangling some of the knots. 

Nico and Jason both frown, "Nope"

"Why not?" Percy questions.

"We don't like how close you are with Sevy." Jason says, mirroring how Percy says Snape's name. 

Percy looks at the two in irritation, these two irritations are seriously jealous of Sevy and him? "You idiots, I like you most, Sevy's just my friend." 

"Oh? And we're not friends?" Jason gleefully says, leaning in eyes locking with Percy's.

"Nope." Percy says, popping the p. Letting Jason get closer, he feels the warmth of his breath on his face. "You're the idiots who ruined our beautiful friendship to pursue me." 

With that, Percy vanishes, leaving Jason awkwardly to straighten himself up. "Nice going Lightbulb." Nico says, vanishing into the shadows to follow Percy to class. Jason sighs, going to follow, body sparking fading slightly before reappearing. Groaning, Jason realizes he can't teleport. 'What the hell is wrong with today?

(Hermione)

Harry being in such a good mood is great. Ron being Ron is irritating. Hermione getting a question wrong during class is unacceptable. She couldn't believe it, and Snape's snide tone had her bristling.
